understand that the withdrawal of
any man from the race for high office,
must be more or less disappointing to
the creditable ambition that he may
cherish.

lBy Associated Pressl

Washington, March 80. = President
Wilson today declared that on account
OF the contradictory statements in the
Baltimore platform, Democrats should
have no hesitation In voting for the
repeal OF tolls exemption. The Presi-
dent said one plank OF the Baltimore
platform opposed subsidy direct or in
direct, while another. which is equiva-
lent to subsidy, favored free tolls. He
said Democrats should have no doubt
which plank ought to take precedence.
He said he would have opposed tolls
exemption even If an international sit
uation had not arisen to demand such
action.
He said the charge in Congress that
ne made a compact with Great Britain
through Sir Edward Grey's private
secretary was insulting.
The President regretted that what
promised to be a dignified contest
with genuine difference of opinion in
Congress had degenerated into an at
tempt to discredit the administration.
He is not worrying over the result

Dear Editors:
[ am writing to the News as a
medium through which [ may
gather information. I was much
pleased with the declaration from
the meeting Of suffragists who met
at Mrs. Belnont's residence.
1t seems that this body Of women
have pledged themselves to work
for a Federal amendment to the
Constitution and for the BristoW-
Mondell amendment. AS South
ern woman | have considered very
carefully the Federal amendment
and have been rather opposed to it
as interfering with States rights,
but have always been open to con-
viction.
| am now convinced that those
who desire suffrage for women
within a reasonable time must adj
vocate the Federal amendment.
For each State to have to fight for
suffrage and overcome all kinds of
ignorance and narrow prejudice is
a tedious and a costly business. AS
women and men become more edu-
Gated to the justice of the cause
and to its Importance as a factor
for good, they readily become its
warm supporters, and so we make
converts. But there are others.
There are those whose prejudice
will never change; there are those
who for entirely selfish reasons
will never work for the success of
suffrage; and while these are stead
lily decreasing, they are still numer-
GUS enough to block legislation and
to use their influence against it.
Why should each State have to
go through the same experience
with this element, spend money on
literature, meetings and speakers
and all the other endless work en-
tailed, when by a Federal amend
ment we can get suffrage for all the
States at one stroke, and so let the
prejudiced and the narrow learn
gradually, but not at the sacrifice of
the liberty of thousands of citizens
while they are learning?
am anxious to get information
from the Democrats whose idea of
States rights is such that to them

AnS1ger::
We take pleasure i'll reprinting
herewith an extract from a recent
issue of the Maryland PROGRESSIVE:
THE COST OF A GREAT WAR.
DR.. Carl Richet, a statistician of
the University of Paris, is quoted
as estimating the cost of war in
volving England, France, Germany,
Russia, Austria and Servia at near
ly $55,ooo,ooo per day. He as
sumes that 100000 men would
be called to arms, of whom one-half
would be sent to the front. His
calculation follows:
Provisioning Of troops. .$I2, 100000
Feeding of horses. -. 100000
Pay 100000
Wages, arsenals and
harbors ......... 100000
Mobilization ...... 2,ooo,ooo
Transport of foodstuffs,
weapons, etc. ....... 100000
Ammunition
Infantry ........ 100000
Artillery ........... 100000
Ship artillery ....... $4,000

towns, bridges, etc. =. 100000
Maryland suffrage news. (Baltimore, Md.) 1912-1920, 1914-10-03

Total .............$ 54,125,ooo
This estimate apparently does not
include all naval expenses of the in
direct loss and waste of war, such
as depreciation of stocks; nor does
it take into consideration the very
appreciate injury to the business
and commerce of neutral nations.
That the worlds wealth is being
wasted by the present European
war at the rate Of $Ioo,ooo,ooo
day is by no means an extravagant
estimate.
