Stupid Militant Tactics.

The English militant suffragists' cru
sade varies In it's detailed .methods
from the gravely serious to the utterly
ludicrous. 1t IL impossible to regard
1t as other than a manifestation Of
hysteria. passing beyond all reason
The burning of railroad stations is the
gravest sort of crime. and 1t cannot
possibly do otherwise than injure the
of such manifestations come stupidity
trifiing and puerile annoyances, alto
gether illogical and calculated to make
the cause ridiculous. For instance, the
latest maneuver Of the militants is to
send unstamped letters containing
small coins to prominent persons, who
are obliged. under the laws, to pay
double postage and double registration
Fees for delivery. This is supposed to be a
smart" trick to disclose the unre-
hitting determination Of the women
to fight until they get the ballot. In
truth 1t Is like the petulance Of q
child, denied something 1t wants.
kicking q table leg or scratching the
piano. Another recently announced
device Of the suffragists is to interfere
with the university boat race which is to
occur tomorrow. probably by swarming
on the course with small boats at the
critical stage Of the contest and thus
breaking up the exhibition that is one
Of the classic sporting events OF the
British year. This Is akin to destroy
ing the mail Of innocent persons by
pouring acids into the post boxes.
Every one OF these fantastic outbreaks
ia certain to intensity the hostility Of
those who are unfriendly to the suffrage
cause, and probably alienates many who
are now Indifferent but who are forced
by these repeated demonstrations OF
feminine frenzy to regard them as
proof of unfitness for participation In
politics.

The Dread Of Novelty.

Perhaps four persons out Of FIVE who
see the new five-cent piece for the first
time do not Hike It. The real reason Is
that II IL new. There Is always a Wig
orous minority to welcome novelties OF
every sort. In cooking. In arrangement
OF furniture. in buildings. or what not.
But the average person doesn't enjoy
the disturbance that the new makes In
the channels OF his brain. The old ia
miliars look good to him. Sometimes en-
tire civilizations have been caught in the
net OF the old and never have freed them
selves. The fact that the modern age has
made progress an ideal Is really astonish-
ing when one reflects on the difYiculty Of
getting accustomed to novelties.

ck-Skinned Politicians.


1t IL difficult for an ordinary citizen
to understand a politician OF the Tam
many type. and the species is not lin
tied to New York. The public has not
forgotten the stand taken at Baltimore
by William j. Bryan against Charles F.
Murphy. the New York boss. Mr.. Bryan
secured the adoption OF a resolution
pledging the delegates to the convention
against the nomination Of ANY candidate
for President under obligations to j. Pier
pont Morgan. Thomas F. Ryan. August
Belmont and any of the privilege-seeking
and declared that the Tammanyites did
not represent the sentiment Of the ninety
New York delegates although he was die
tating how their votes. under the unit
rule, should be cast. One naturally would
suppose. after what had happened in the
national convention, Mr.. Murphy and his
kind would keep away from the Presi-
dent and Secretary OF State.

War and The National Guard.

II it becomes necessary for the
United States to intervene in Mexico,
the state militia probably will be
pressed into service and sent, with
regular troops, across the border.
Under the law as it stands, state
militia organizations can not be sent
into service in foreign land but the
war department has been 10 consul
tation with adiutants general from a
number of states and it. has been
agreed that, II necessity arises, the
state troops can be promptly enlisted
as United States volunteers, main.
tanning their present organization
and their present officers and as
volunteers they can be sent to Mexico
or elsewhere. The war department
has been at work quietly for several
weeks undertaking to find out how
many volunteers can be raised in the
various states in the event it is de.
clded to augment the regular army
and move on Mexico.
For the purpose Of ascertaining the
real conditions aud determining how
much Of reserve can be raised from
the state militia, various adjutants
general have been summoned to
Washington, and those who could not
make the trip have been requested to
submit reports of a confidential ma.
ture.
General Wood, chief of staff, has
always regarded the state militia as a
most valuable adjunct of the regular
army and, IL necessity arises. he wants
to see as much of the militia as pos.
sible enlisted as volunteers in the fed.
eral service. He and other officers
have explained to state officers, how.
ever, that il any regiment of state
militia hopes to 60 into Mexico with
the regular army, in event of inter.
vention, its entire membership must
enlist 10 the volunteer service. Other.
wise, the militia regiments must be
recruited up to their full strength
and all vacancies filled, before they
are taken over in the volunteer ser
vice. The war department will not
approve of the enlistment of skeleton
regiments and, If skeleton regiments
are offered for service, the war de-
partment will reserve the right to ap-
point some of the officers,

CARELESSyESS OF DRIVERS
Causes 50 Per Cent Of Accidents at
Crossings.

While actual statistics show
that only one and one-hslf per cent
OF automobile accidents occur at
railway crossings, nevertheless
this one and one half per cent is SO
large that automobile associations
are CO operating with the railroads
to minimize the number and bring
about greater exercise Of care on
the part OF pedestrians and drivers
Of motor vehicles. In making an
effort to ascertain wherein the
responsibility for crossing acci-
dents might rest, some observa-
tions were recently made by one
Of the railroads with Offices in San
Francisco, and the statement Of
the results, involving is, s2a motor
vehicles, 4246 teams and 452o
pedestrians, shows that 6o per
cent OF the drivers. OF motor We
hicles took no precautions, what
! ever, to prevent being struck at
crossings, III per cent passing at
high rate OF speed.
1t is pointed out by railway
officials that the millions necessary
/ for added grade protection would
levy an extra toll on the rates paid
/ by shippers and passengers. There
would be less necessity for this if
more precautions were taken by
pedestrians and drivers at the
crossings.

Il Found Relief In Practical Jokes
Upon the Clergy.
Some thirty odd years ago a young
man came to New York from England
Il have forgotten his name), and for
year or SO he posed as very ardent
churchman. He had a mania which
seemed to be the making of trouble
for other people. with no particular
object except that and certainly with
no advantage to himself. as he very
naturally remained "incog."
As illustrative, he would send out
hundred or more postal cards address
ed to as many different plumbers In
New York, asking them to call on
certain day. at given hour. at the
residence Of the Rev. DR.. Morgan Dix.
rector of Trinity church. Another
time It would be an army Of bakers.
and so on. On one OCCASION he sent In
vitations to a dozen of the clergy to
dine with DR.. Dix on given date.
Imagine the good doctors const'erna-
tion when his unexpected guests ar
rived!

which he used the name Of the ldfe
Bishop Jaggar. was as follows: DIT.
Cornelius B. Swope was the vicar OF
Trinity chapel. in Twenty-fifth street,
at the time, and DR.. Horatio Potter the
bishop Of New York. DR.. Dix had be-
come SO exasperated as hardly to
know what to do, and one day he went
to consult Dr. Swope and to ask his
advice as to what could be done. TAX
ing with him one Of the cards that he
had received. On looking at 1t DR..
Swope said:

BY j. e. JONES

Washington, D. C.-The fiery
little Mr.. Carter Glass of Virginia
whose name decorates the currency
bill passed through the house Of
representatives, and which has
been the subject OF no end OF con-
troversy since it found its way to
the senate, has broken loose ag ain,
and he tells Senator Reed and
some of the other "bigwigs" that
the country will not stand for the
interference of Wall Street, or its
domination Of the legislation. 1t
may be possible for the adninis-
tration to put through its program
of currency legislation before the
end Of the special session OF con-
gress. 1t must be acknowle dyed
that President Wilson and his
leaders in the two houses OF con-
gress have the most perfect work
ing steam roller that ever ran over
obstreperous members of min ority
parties.
President Wilson is conducting
a boycott against the Huerta
government in Mexico. What
ever may be the future oi ouy
relations with the southwe stern
republic it is plain that Uncle
Sam will not in any manner con-
meet up with Huerta or the new
congress that has recently been
"elected." The Washington gov
ernment finds hope in the fact that
the government Of Mexico is in
rigid financial straits. 1t is
thought at Washington that the
cooperation Of the civilized nations
will prevent the advancing Q fund:
to the present Mexican g overn.
ment. Huerta in turn j. seem.
| ready to part with any Of tn.
government concessions that vii
yield ready cash. The recent de.
velopments in Mexico have clearly
demonstrated the truth OF the sc.
peaed charges that haye be..u
made through the United States to
the effect that oil interests have
been financing some Of the revolu ].
| tions OF Mexico. Independent S
| and speculators have placed no
value upon Mexican lives, liberty,
or property, and have bribed Mexi-
cans, including the present govern
ment, in order to obtain privileges
in oil.
There have been a number OF
discussions in the house of repre-
sentatives OF late concerning the
great labor strikes that have Great
