EQUAL FRANCHISE PROGRESS
A Higher Patriotism.

Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait, Presi-
dent OF the International Woman's
Suffrage Alliance, is quoted as say
ing; There are many ways OF show
ing patriotism, but the real patriotism
is in ideas. science and legislation
The real enemy of a people is found
within its own borders. Opium, not
Russia, is the enemy of China; germs.
not England, are the enemies OF In
the same way. and put at the head OF
the list that infamous thing which we
call child labor put this even ahead

where it begins, and laboring children

Men, Militant Suffrage Views From
Chairman of Press Committee.

Indignant protests have gone up
from the ranks of the Nevada Equal
Franchise Society over the coming to
the State of Miss Bronson and her
talks against equal suffrage. Local
pride and independence are outraged
that an outsider should presume to
direct Nevada voters on the subject
We wholly disagree with this attti-
tude. We consider it doubly illtaken
in view of the fact that the Franchise
Society opened its campaign this year
with addresses by Colorado speaker
1t has several times. previous TO this,
brought in speakers from other
States and has planned for others to
come during the next campaign.
1t is neither fair nor reasonable to
claim for ourselves privilege which
we deny to our opponents. We stand
for fair play and equal rights for all
In fact this is the one unassailabic
ground on which we ask the suffrage
for ourselves
Our faith in the justice of our cause
is such that we court the most com
nlete presentation OF all sides OF the
question to the public II we cannot
win a fair. open and looical appeal
to the voters we are willing to take
defeat
We know that every unjust and IN
reasonable position taken by the sup
oorters OF sffrage menaces its success

NEVADA is GREATEST BAT
TLESHIP AFLOAT.
Carries Ten l4-Inch Guns and Can
Steam 2OH Knots an Hour.

Broadly stated, the guiding princi-
pie in the design OF battleshp is to
obtain the maximum amount OF hight
ing power upon given displacement
Displacement, that is to say. the to-
tai weight OF the ship and her equip
ment when she is afloat. is the capital
which the architect has TO draw upon
in getting out the plans for his ship
Thus. in the case of let us say the
Nevada. ship of p, 900 tons displace-
ment is devoted to the hull, so much
to the motive power, so much to ne
armament. so much to the stores and
miscellaneous equipment. As the re
suit of the apportionment OF weights
to these different requirements, we
have in the Nevada ship SIS feet
long. 951l feet broad, protected by
1877 to lS-inch armor. with sea speed
of 20.5 knots, and carrying a battery
of en- l4-inch guns. This represents
an allotment of weight 10 the various
elements OF the ship which results IN
what we believe to be the most effect
i've batteship of her displacement IN
the world today Some other naval
architect, however, realizing that he
had the great displacement OF H,O0O
tons at his disposal. might have de
cided that such a ship should carry
a heavier battery and he might have
designed one OF the same size, mount
ing twelve in place OF ten l4-inch
guns But in doing so he would have
been obliged to sacrihce some other
valuable feature in design lie would
have found il necessary. let us say. to
reduce the thickness OF the armor to
that of battle-cruiser. or II would
have been necessary to reduce the
amount of coal carried and give to the
ship a less generous amount OF am
munition and stores; in short, he
would have been obliged in some one
or in several ways, to sacrifice GER
tain features which make the Nevada
such fine all-round fighting unit.
One of the largest drafts made upon
the displacement capital OF warship
is that for the boilers. engines and fuel
supply; and for many years it has
been realized that. if some change OF
motive power, or some radical change
in existing methods. could be made in
volving reduction OF weights. it
might be possible. on the same dis
placement, to produce ship OF great
ly increased fighting power When the.
steam turbine made its appearance a.
a practical drive. il was predicted that
its high efficiency and decreased
WEIGHT would render this possible; but
that these expectations have not been
realized is shown by the fact that the
Oklahoma. sister ship to the Nevada
and of the same displacement and
armor protection. is being equipped
with triOle exhaustion recIDrOCatino
engines. 1t was hoped that the heavy
oil engine of the Diesel type would
make possible the desired reduction in
weight: but AT the present writing il
is agreed among the most experienced
hrilders OF oil engines that there is
little hope OF this type OF drive being
installed in hattleships for manv year
TO come.-Scientific American
