To the Editor Of The Times:

TO the Editor OF The Times
want to commend you for the mag
niflcent fight you are making for clean
politics In our state. You are certain
ly doing a great work. You are do
ing the work which we supposed the
man We helped to elect governor
would do, and you seem to hit the nail
on the head every time you take a
shot at Messrs Wood. Shields, Ferris
end the rest OF the so-called organ
iyation."
During the campaign, this club,
which Is the largest In our state and
think did the most work. came In
contact with these men several times,
but never received bit of help, and
absolutely no encouragement from
them In the work we were doing for
Woodrow Wilson; In fact. Chairman
Shields really tried to block our plans
and hamper us In the work, and you
may be sure We are not going to for
get II.
Hope you will continue in the good
work you are doing.

Wilson Puts CuiYenCy
Reform Up TO People

I 10 board the regular Republican con-
veyance. He Is one OF those able
citizens who trim their sails TO the
iavoring political winds and muster
up principles suited 10 the occasion.
Gov Hadley, OF Missouri, is mere
ly political adventurer. He came
into the political field when graft
prosecutions were new and popular.
and gained his first political favor as
a prosecuting attorney. Later he
sought to advance his fortunes in, Mis-.
souri, by allying himself with the
Roosevelt presidential boom, but
seeing at the Chicago convention what
he thought 10 be an opportunity TO sell
out and 10 secure in return his. own
nomination. he was only prevented
from open betrayal by having his com.
mission revoked and his leadership
turned over 10 another man. He Is
the one man least trusted of all the
four and a half million Progressives.
Senator Cummins has been told by
former Senator Crane that he Is a
likely candidate for the presidential
nomination II he can bring about
something which will look like ANAL
gamation between the Progressives
and the old-lne Republican organiza-
ton.
The only trouble with this plan is
the ''if." II the public could forget
the Chicago convention: Ii il could
dismiss from its mind the Taft ad-
ministration; II II could come 10 look
upon Murray Crane as Progressive,
and Smoot as a reformer: II Mr.. Pen
rose can make himself appear as an
antagonist OF Standard Oil: II Angel
Archie Stephen can figure as the
champion OF presidential primaries,
and John NJ. Harlan as Roosevelt's
most ardent admirer; II J. Adam
Bede could be humorous without be-
ing vulgar, then 1t might be possible
for oil to mix with water and for
Gov. Hadley and Senator Jones to
act as bell.wethers in leading the Pro-
gressives into the @. o. p. camp OF
Trusts, Turpitude and Taft.

ENGLAND'S CAT AND MOUSE LAW

Whether the "cat and mouse" act
has been effective in dealing with the
militant suffragettes of England has
been the subject of mild newspaper
controversy The London Daily Mail
recently announced the demise of the
militant suffrage movement The New
York Times regards the announcement
as premature in view of the news the
next day of attempted destruction by
fire of a big recreation pier at South
port and a bomb explosion in Liver
pool On the other hand the New York
Sun gladly accepts the Mails testi-
mony as confirming its own views,
for it dared to commend the "cat and
mouse bill while a large part of the
press was receiving it with howls of
derision
The "eat and mouse" law was
adopted as a result of the hunger
strikes on the part of militant suf-
fragette prisoners. BY the simple pro-
cess of refusing to take nourishment
the suffra gettes seemed about to be
successful in annuling the criminal
laws of England. English authorities
appeared to be unwilling to face the
effects on public opinion of deaths
from voluntary starvation. Forcible
feeding also had way of presenting
a very awkward spectacle, playing on

was adopted of proceeding after the
manner of the eat, to catch the mill

for a while, when weak from starva-

result of the discontinuance of forci-

I'D Not Force

~ 1t was high time. for the nonmilitant
suffragettes OF England to show their
colors and let the public see where they stand.
Between March 9 and July of this year, accord
ing to the London Times, the militants have
destroyed by burning more than half a million
dollars worth OF property large part Of it belong
ing to innocent persons; at any rate, the mitants
have indirectly, through pacards and notices,
claimed that the work was theirs.
Following the example set by the American
"hikersp who went from New York to Albany and
to Washington to present their plea for the suffrage
the English nonnlilitants started from the extremes
Of the compass in Engand-Land's End in Cornwall
and John o'Groats in Scotland-and had been
marching for nearly a month, until numbering
nearly 100000. they centered in London, and
adopted resolution asking parliament to grant
the franchise to women forthwith
This was probably the most remarkable demon
stration OF political strength ever made in England
The fact that it has not been made before indicates
the moderation OF the real sufragists among the
English women, and that Mrs Pankhurst and her
hysterical following by no means have represented
those women who are in earnest for the suffrage.
It IS very noticeable and an impressive fact that
every parliamentary constituency in the kingdom
was represented among the marchers.
This is as if women representing every congres-
sional district in the United States should walk
from their homes to Washington in order to impress
congress, as these English women did parliament
by their motto, Reason, Not Force which was
carried on banners at the head Of the procession.
Why reason, not force, has not hitherto been
made the more conspicuous factor in the English
womens struggle for the ballot is difficult for an
American to understand, as difficult as it is to
comprehend why feminine law breakers arc not
punished in England even if they do go on hunger
strikes
The English government has been fully justified
in refusing the ballot to women SO long as the
Pankhurst methods were apparently representative
of the woman's suffrage movement
Now that ii is made apparent that there IS a
great nation wide demand by English women for the
ballot the government will be Obliged before long
to resubmit the subject to vote in the house Of
commons. The last vote taken showed that the
government was divided on the subject, and had
not the wild women been wilder than ever at the

Foreign Paper Makers Pleased

Ettore Ripamonti, American repre-
sentative of a water mark paper COM
pany of Milan, Italy, who is at the
Palace, says that German and English
manufacturers of high grade paper are
much pleased with the new schedule of
tariff duties. Mr.. Ripamonti said:
''The only effect of the new sched-
nles have been able to notice In for
eign countries is the announcement of
German and English manufacturers
that they will raise the price of their
products to the American importer, now
that the tariff is to be lowered I have
been travelling through the United
States and Canada and / have found
that business in this country, notwith-
standing the agitation over the tariff,
has not suffered to any extent at any
rate, the tariff reform has not affected
my line.
ITO foreigner it is observable that
the Americans are not vainglorious, as
are the English. They do not believe
that other countries can not make
goods equally as fine as theirs and they
are willing to buy goods from other
countries If the price suits them. Cam
ada is altogether different from the
mother country Canadians are more
like the Americans than like English
men,

The Movies

II The annual report Of the San Francisco
censors Of moving pictures exhibited is just
published It shows that 2,Ol2 pictures were
reviewed nearly half dozen for each day in the
year
OF these only Is were condemned though many
were changed. Only three arrests were necessary.
This is remarkably good showing That less than
per cent Of all the films offered here should be
unfit for exhibition is surprisingly low percentage
The committee reports that as far as possible
under the present system we have the situation
under control, as we receive many less complaints
than formerly, and the general character of the
pictures is more satisfactory.
The whole report is fine testimonial to the
wonderful elevation in character Of the moving
picture show, which has almost literally risen out
Of the very depths the highest points yet attained
in exhibitions.
Beginning with pandering to the lowest tastes
the movies are now not probably but certainly
the most popular form OF entertainment in the
civilized world, surprising even the wonderful
vogue OF the phonograph.
The movie in fact, has become much more
than show, it is an educational factor of the
highest rank, and more than that it has become a
governmental agency.
that eight billion nicels or four hundred million
dollars, were spent in this country alone on the
movies last year The number Of people represented
by this sum is many times the total population
of the country. The receipts indicate the amount of
capital which must be invested in plants and there
is no sign Of lessening. In fact, there are many
indications that as time goes by the movies will
attract more and more attention, and that it will not
be many years before they will all be given in
natural coors in the round as of nature and not in
the fiat Of present photography, and with the added
attraction Of the natural sounds that accompany the
scene OF the picture
Everybody likes the movies, or should Those
who do not, are certainly not up to date and do not
appreciate what is probably the most wonderful
opportunity for sefeducaton next to that afforded
by printed books, that the world has yet offered to
mankind.
