Will Congress Itself Abstain7

Congress has the power to do foolish things.
The House voted by a majority the other day for
the resolution asking the States to yield their local
right to determine whether Intoxicating liquors
should be prohibited. A two-thirds vote would
have validated the measure, far as the House is
concerned Mr.. Hobson is now pressing bill to
make the District of Columbia "dry."
We assume that most Congressmen, and most
of those who voted to pass the Hobson amend
ment, occasionally drink cocktails or other more
or less Intoxicating beverages. They listened
cynically no doubt to Mr.. Hobson's rhetoric about
the fourteen sovereign States that have prohibited
the manufacture and sale of intoxicants within
their borders, and about the continental United
States "78 per cent of which is now dry terri
tory" They hardly needed to consult the Statisti-
cal Abstract to learn that the consumption of aco-
holic liquors per head in the United States has in
creased enormously while three-quarters of it was
becoming dry"
Unlike Russia, prohibition cannot be imposed
on the American people from their National Capt.
tai An autocracy has some effectual advantages,
shown in the, reported effects of the prohibition
u<ase of the Gar In this country reforms must
proceed from the business and bosoms of its men,
by the free exercise of their Wills Will each
Congressman who votes for Mr.. Hobson's bills
impose their prohibitions on himself.-New York

PASTORS Divorce Cure

A set of rules to prevent husband or
wife taking refuge in the divorce court
or seeking happiness with soul mate
was offered in a sermon by the Rev. {.
W. Blodgett, pastor of the Clifton Metho-
dist Episcopal Church.
Gossip is destructive he said. The
man who will go about and complain OF

listens to silly twaddle of busybodies is
unfit for home. Not one girl in thou

The habit of thinking and saying ironical things
about the Steel Trust has become so fixed and so
much matter of course that it really makes a
rather strong demand ones courage to interject,
as it were, word of commendation. Justice, how
ever compels the admission that the biggest corpo
ration in the country has taken the initiative in
matter of public concern with a courage which
should stimulate other large industrial interests to
follow its example. 1t has declined to take ad-
vantage of the business depression to scale down
its pay roll and has decided to maintain its normal
working force until conditions right themselves.
Such a farsighted policy will work no lasting in
jury to the Steel Trust. As BELTS the leader in a
great national industry, it has set the pace for
others to follow.

GridirOn Clubs New President.

As the Gridiron Club, at Washington
is the most famous club Of working news
paper men in the world. so the privilege
of serving as the official head OF that
organization. at whose dinners all the
most conspicuous public men are enter
tained. is more than the ordinary honor.
The Bee believes all our readers join with
US in extending congratulations TO our
Washington correspondent, Edgar T..
snyder. upon his election as president OF
the Gridiron Club for the ensuing year.
We may also be pardoned in calling at
tention to the fact that The Bee has sent
two members OF its stan to represent Us
at the National Capital who have been
elevated TO this position, the first the late
William E. Amin, who after period OF
years is now succeeded by MIR. snyder,
both deservedly popular among their as
socIates and among all with whom the
newspaper men at Washington come into
contact-Omaha Bee.

Getting Even.

Many years ago when the late Chief
Justice Beatty was a young lawyer in
Sacramento, a client came in for advice.
He said he had hired a horse to 60 to
a neighboring town, for 81. but when he
had returned the liveryman demanded
81 more. What for?' the client had
asked. For the ride back" The young
lawyer gave some instructions, which the
client followed. \ little later he went
TO the liveryman and asked now much
n vVouId cost TO hire a horse to go to
Woodland. Five dollars" was the re-
ply. The client hired the team and
went to woodland. When he re-
turned he rode home with a friend
He went to the stable and paid the Keep

riage?" asked the owner. In WOOD

1t is a surprising revelation that the United
States government received official information
of outbreaks among the Fipinos until several
days after the facts were published in the Ameri-
can newspapers. In the absence of any other
explanation it must be assumed that the news
organizations spent large sums of money to let
the American people know of events which the
governor general of the Philippines did not regard
as sufficiently important to be cabled to the gov
ernment at Washington. OF course it is not be-
lievabe that our government at Manila was off the

ago they began to make personal Appeals 10 can

asked: "Are yop in favor OF womens sunrSge'
Often the answAs were in the affirmative. But
thew soon discovered that such answers meant

would do nothing to help. So the question was
changed to: "If you are elected, will you do your

Periods of real winter weather in Washington
seldom last long enough to permit the devotees Of
sports on the snow and ice to organize anything
like a carnival though something of the sort is
proposed every year. There are signs now of
warmer weather, just as the young people are
making their plans, and the chances are they Will
be too iate The first announcement of skating
on the basin should be the signal for carnival
within twenty-four hours, if the fun-seekers hope
to keep pace with Jack Frost.

The shooting of two Americans on hunting
expedition near Buffalo shows how seriously the
Canadians have taken the discussion of possible
invasion by Germans in this country. Evidently
our ncighbors are on the alert for the first sign
OF hostility If there is disposition to regard
the shooting of the two hunters as hasty and un-
necessary it must be remembered that war is a
serious business and the first duty of soldiers or
guard is not TO be taken unawares.

II you ask a scientific man why a stone
falls to the ground he will tell you that
he doesn't know. Not long ago he would
have replied that it fell to the ground
because the earth and stone attract one

saying that an unsupported stone falls

certained by frequent experiments an un-

A Militant Suaragist.

l English suffragist, Miss

militant suffrage movement
in England. On being intro
duced Miss Kenney stepped
forward and, in a sweet, clear,
English voice, went directly at
her subject. The suffragists OF
England, she explained were
mainly seeking two things,
safeguards in working and pro-
,tection against unjust laws.
For many years they had been

A few minutes later they were making speeches
to the crowds in the street, on one corner and
one on the other. Their talk was interrupted by
policemen who placed them under arrest. In the

guilty OF obstruction?" he said. He decided that
they were guilty, and he sent them both to prison.

Naturally, these incidents made something OF
a sensation. On leaving prison the women found
themselves objects OF intense curiosity. In the
hall they had been thrown out OF they addressed
huge audience. Then they went out to the
Manchester cricket grounds and spoke to 10000
nconlc. They felt that their experience had been
huge success.
That hall, by the way, Miss Kenney took an
amused pleasure in describing. 1t was decorated
with trophies of those earlier days OF militancy
when the men of England the common men, had
desperately fought for the right to vote.

For several years the suffragists worked with

attended by thousands OF people, in Albert Hail.
London, would be brief and obscureiy placed. In
1909, at a meeting in Manchester, IN Free lrade
Hall, where Sir Edward Grey and Winston
Churchill delivered addresses, Miss Crystobel
Pankhurst and Miss Kenney succeeded in breaking
this silence During the proceedings there was a
GOOD deal of "heckng," after the English fashion,
chiefly from labor men and Socialists. Speakers
would be interrupted by such cries as, What
about the unemployed" and What about feeding
the hungry children" Then Miss Kenney rose
and asked Sir Edward Grey what was to be
done about suffrage. Grey made no reply.
The Washington herald., 1914-12-29

A little later Miss Kenney broke in again.
Some one in authority told her that il she would
write her question and send it up to the speaker
she would get an answer; but when the paper
was passed to the speaker he smiled and put 1t
on the table Presently Miss Pankhurst began
to interrupt Soon the two young women threw
the meeting into an uproar. A dozen stewards
or, as we should say ushers, descended upon them'
accompanied by the authority As they were about
to seize Miss Kenncy, the authority said: Not
that one, the other one" Miss Pankhurst was un-
tremendously thrown out. Then Miss kenney was
thrown out, too.
The Washington herald., 1914-12-29

The Manchester experience led to decided
change in the career OF Miss Kenney. Since
childhood she had been a factory worker She
had known what it meant to work for twelve
hours day under the benefccnt regulations main
tanned by masculine authority and backed up by
man-made laws. She did not mention clrcum-
stance known to some of her listeners, that in her
work. she had lost one of her fingers. AT that
time fingers were not highly valued, even the
fingers of workers, so dependent on the use Of
their hands, who were indeed often called hands. v
Her long experience, however, had given her fine
preparation for service in behalf of her working sis
ters 1t had inspired her with the spirit that
helped to make her brilliant speaker. The Pank-
hursts told her that in future, she must live with
them and devote herself to the cause of women.
With Crystobel Pankhurst she went down to Lon
don and became identified with the agitation there,
speaking in Albert Hall and in many other places,
including the streets At meeting she raised
10000 pounds, amount even more impressive
when expressed as $4,000.
