Anti Sufragists
To Sue for Libel
Whenever Assailed

WASHINGTON. June 22.-'with a
view to protecting themselves from
abusive language, officers OF the Ma
tional Association Opposed to Woman
Suffrage have employed attorneys to
examine all the speeches and literature
OF tho suffragists for the purpose OF
instituting suits for libel against OBJ
jectional parties"
This II the opening sentence in a
statement given out here this after
noon by the Warrington headquarters
Of the National Association Opposed
to Woman Suffrage.
Tho scrutiny Of tho material put
out by the suffragists," says the
statement has become more thor
ough since Miss Ines Miiholland. in
a public meeting In Plainneld. N. j..
stated that both on the platform and
in the public press charges Of an al
lance between the anti-suffrage move
ment and the liquor interests had
been made. ana the fact that no suits
for libel had been instituted was good
proof that they were true"
In answer to this statement, Miss
Minnie Bronson said:
ITO say that any interests, liquor
or other interests. are supporting a
cause is not in itself nbelous, but II
tho suffragists in public or the press
ever make statement that the liquor
interests are giving help to the Ma
tional Association Opposed to Wo-
man Suffrage. or to any representative
thereof. suit for libel will be in
stituted within twenty-four hours. We
are looking for this opportunity. and
when 1t comes we will take advantage
of 1t to the uttermost
"One conviction for criminal libel
will do a great deal to check the flood
of malicious untruths about the wo-
men who are opposed to votes for wo-
men, which have been circulated by
the suffragists."

WASHINGTON, June 22.-The trial
OF Drew Caminetu and Maury /.
Diggs, in California, for alleged vio-
lAtions of the white slave law, was
postponed by Attorney General Nc
Reynolds at the request of A. Can't
netti. father of one Of the youthful
prinoners. who was appointed COM
missioner general of immigration by
President Wilson. a few weeks ago.
This was learned officially here to-
night
Attorney General McReynolds de-
clined to make any formal statement

John l.. McNab. United States dis
trict attorney at San Francisco. to
President Wilson. rendering his resig-

erals action in holding up the trial
over his protest, not only of the Can't

trial OF officials of the Western Fuel
company, for violation of the customs

permitted to make the trip to the

THE SINGLE TERM PLEDGE.

No recent utterance of Woodrow
Wilson has attracted more attention
than his incidental remark at Phila-
delphia that 1.-The President who is too
intent on reelection is seldom worth
reelecting.'
Brother Bryan evidently had the
same principle in mind when he pro-
cured the insertion, in the Baltimore
platform on which President Wilson
was elected, of this definite resolu-
ton and unqualified pledge:
I'VE favor a single Presidential
term, and to that end urge the
adoption of an amendment to the
Constitution making the President
of the United States ineligible for
reelection, and we pledge the can
didate of this convention to this
principle"
The candidate of that convention
is President of the United States and
Mr.. Bryan is his Secretary of State
Is it impolite to inquire what they
and the Democratic party in power
are doing to redeem the pledge?-

A CELEBRATED CASE.

Every little while the mysterious
kidnapping of Charlie Ross has its
echo in the newspapers, although it
is now nearly fifty years since the
curly haired, blue eyed boy strangely
disappeared from the streets of Phila-
delphia. What mother has not felt
thrill of fear from that remarkable
story, which is known from one end
of the country to the other?
Now it is Cleveland that sends the
story of the finding of Charlie
Ross. A man there says the story is
true, and a woman has been located
in Sayreville. n. j., who declares she
can identify the long lost boy by a
birthmark.
Similar stories have been legion.
and this one may go the way of its
predecessors. Still, the mystery OF
Charlie Ross remains one of the
nations strangest cases yet unsolved
How he was snatched from friends,
his hiding place unrevealed despite
fortunes spent in search, stirred
thousands in the last generation as
few cases of its kind.

WORDS AND ACTIONS.

President Wilson may mean well.
but there is an economic power be-
fore which even great nations bow
their heads In docile submission.
And that economic power Is not yet
ready to become an apostle of the
doctrine of equality, honor or un-
selfshness-Pittsb Leader.
In other words, the world is run
on business principles and not on
and this is essentially a
business age adds contemporary.
The Smoky City contemporary IS
right. but this is also a diplomatic
age, and President Wilson may be
using words to disguise his thoughts.
Despite his habit of dealing IN
glittering generalities when speak
ing, he has given indications of ris-
ing to the occasion when action be-
comes necessary.
A little patience.

KEEP IT DARK.

Two Hammond men and their

the distiller is quoted as saying to
Peter w. Meyn. the financier, Il

the street. You don't get enough
money month to suit me-
Campaigners had said that Fitz-
gerald has an income of $4,000 a
month and Peter Meyn an income of
$4,000 a month. That is however
but a beggarly difference of $4,000
year. And yet the story gave the
distiller some little concern
"A hundred and twenty thousand
dollars year is lot of money" said
Fitzgerald. Il only hope that the
income tax levy men don't hear OF
this"

A GOOD WOMAN'S Letter.

THE TIMES acknowledges the re-
ceipt of letter from an East Chi
|cago lady last Saturday which she
implored the paper to print. The
communication was a bitter and
scratching arrangement of an East Chi
|cago candidate for whom according to
his personal East Chicago organ, all
the women were for. We did not
print the letter, for printed at the
last minute of the campaign without
opportunity for investigation, 1t would
have been of the roorback type. The
God-fearing woman who wrote it will
know when she reads this that her
letter was received and is acknowl-
edged She will know that the wom-
en- and children of political candi-
date have some rights In this world.
In the letter, now that the election IS
over, may be found one significant
statement which should be gravely
considered by the East Chicago peo-
pie:
Is ii right that our city should
be place where wrong doors from
other places should come hence to
carry on their wrong doing and
find refuge and protection here?
That's a problem East Chicago will
have to work out itself.

SENTIMENT BACK HOME.

The administration has shifted its
closed mind attitude on the currency
bill. Weeks ago 1T was said there
was no use in bankers or anybody
else presenting their views, as the
fundamentals and principal provi-
sions of the proposed act were not TO
be changed. Now we have Secretary
of State Bryan advising readers of
his periodical to bring pressure to
bear upon their senators in favor of
the White House measure, says a
Pittsburgh paper. while Secretary Of
the Treasury McAdoo has issued a
general appeal to bankers to ac-
quiesce in the bill and make their
wishes known at Washington. So
there is influence in sentiment back
home and it is a force to be consider
