In the days when the state house was
filled with Republican ofiice holders
and hundreds of thousands Of dollars
of interest earnings on deposits of
the commonwealth funds we're being
stolen each year by state treasurers
and others, G. o. P. officials saw moth
ing wrong about these thefts. There
were no prosecutions or effective steps
taken to stop the illegal practice dur
ing the days of Republican ascenden-
cy. There was only ridicule from
Republicans for Democratic officials.
when the latter proceeded against the
grafters.
The attitude of leading Republicans
on the referendum scandals conforms
= exactly to the position Of nonInter-
ference with grafters and their booty,
which Republican office holders as
sumed in the days of the state treas
ury scandals.
No one ever heard Of Republican
in the state house criticize one of the
grafters who were filching money from
Ghe public treasury few years ago
More than a score of crooks who ped
: died referendum petitions about the
state and committed perjuries and for.
geries have been arrested, but there
has been little, If any, criticism OF
these scoundrels by Republicans, while
the state administration has been
lighting fraud and corruption and
prosecuting the perpetrators
The attitude of tho minority party
was exemplified at the Legislative re
{ union at Cedar Point Thursday even
ing, when every Republican solon
who spoke, criticized Governor Coxs
action The state executives actlvi'
ties have been confined to proceedings

papers have followed suit and have
ignored the gross frauds perpetrated
and the utter contempt shown for the
law by the petition circuiators. These
publications lend no assistance TO the
men enforcing the criminal statutes

FIRST REAL TEST
ON BANKING BILL
Democratic House Caucus Takes
Il Up This Afternoon
OUTCOME EAGERLY AWAITED

Three Democratic Members Of the
Currency Committee Join In oppos-
Ing Chairman Glass Favorable Re.
port On the Measure--WooI and
Sugar Schedules Of the Tariff Bill
Up In the Senate This Week.
Washington, Aug. IL. - The house
Democratic caucus on the currency
bill began at o'clock this afternoon,
and Is expected to run through sew
eral days. Representative Ragsdale
Of South Carolina, Neely Of Kansas
and Eagle Of Texas, all Democratic
members of the banking and currency
committee, will Join in opposing
Chairman Glass favorable report on
the bill. Representative Wingo of Ar
kansas, another member, also will op-
pose certain features in the caucus,
| although he has given his support to
the general features of the bill.
The president has been assured by
his advisers in congress that the
| measure can be passed in the house
without material change, and he has
! not altered his purpose to insist upon
| currency legislation at the present
| special session. The outcome of the
| house caucus is being awaited with
keen interest because of the anticipa-
tion of determined effort to delav
consideration of currency reform and
| to make important changes in the
bill. The efforts Of the president and
Secretary McAdoo to align sentiment
In the senate in support of immediate
| currency legislation have been less
! successful than in the house. How
| ever, II the Democratic leaders sue
ceed In lining up strong majority in
the house caucus In support of the
bill and secure the approval of the
measure without change, 1t is hoped
that the effect upon the senate will
be to induce reluctant Democrats to
agree to immediate legislation.
| While the bill is thrust to the front
at the beginning Of the week, 1t will
not displace the tariff in the activities
of the congressional week. The sen.
| ate has reached some of the most inn
portant sections of the tariff revision
bill and within the coming week that
body is likely 10 find itself in the
midst of the fights over the sugar
tariff, agricultural products and pos
sibly the wooden schedules. These
portions of the bill will bring out the
| ss,,tt - tnx
LaFollette, and are counted upon to
show the first definite alignment
among the progressive Republican
forces in support of substitutes fol
the Democratic tariff rates.

MAN OF TODAY STAGNANT.

Noted Anthropologist Points Out That
No Member Of Fair Sex Was Ever

Or. Cornelia 3. Debey, Prominent
Woman Physician, Makes Reply.
"Woman has been an inferior crea'
ture ever since the human race was
developed, and she must always re
main SO. The presence of large mum
bers of women In occupations hitherto
monopolized by man is unnatural and
indicates racial decline or at least
racial stagnation. This is an unpro-
gresslve age, and on this ground alone
can be explained the relative success
Of woman In competition with man"
That Is the opinion just voiced by
Professor Frederick Starr, who holds
the chair of anthropology in the uni
versity of Chicago
Continuing, the educator said:
"The race is at n standstill. We are
not making progress in really impor-
tant fields. We are inventing automo-
blles and aeroplanes. 1t Is true, and
