A BRITISH CRISIS.

Hopes of reaching a compromise
on the Ulster question having gone
glimmering, parliament meets con-
frcnted by a situation of unusual
gravity. The educational bill, the
Welsh Church bill, the South At
T:can deportations, and other things
which ordinarily would loom up big,
are almost forgotten in the thought
of the danger of civil war in Ireland.
If almost every conceivable means
of adjusting the question short of
armed conflict had not been resorted
to It would seem that the wisdom of
parliament might be equal to the
crisis. But the commons faces the
problem in a practically hopeless
frame Of mind. Almost anything
that happens will be unexpected.
Thus it appears that Premier AS
quith's skill in avoiding a general
election is likely to prove useless,
after all. If he goes before the coun-
try the whole Liberal program will
be at stake, and the Irish question,
which is the center of all his plan
ming, must still drag along, even in
the event of Liberal success. From
any point of view it is clear that
British craftsmanship will be SUBJ
jected to one of the greatest strains
it has had to endure in recent years.

WOMEN AND THE FARM.

Most of the folks who don't think
the women are fit to vote, will be
able at least to give Endorsement to
the movement to enlist the women
in the country life movement. Out
West, the farm and town women are
organizing to help solve the prob
lem of farm production, by making
the farm better place to live. The
things the women want on the farm,
TO make it most desirable, are be-
ing studied and catalogucd, and
some interesting conclusions are
pointed by the testimony thus far
taken.
For instance, il develops that the
first thing wanted by the largest
number of farm wives is running
water in the house. Nowadays, of
course, many farm houses are thus
equipped; but vastly more are not.
No single incident of household
drudgery imposes so much toll on
the wolncn, or makes cleanliness
and good sanitation so difficult, as
the necessity for carrying water
from well or spring for every pos
sible domestic use. One incident to
this condition is that houses are
halt where water may be as con-
venient to them as possihlca and
that too often means that they arc
not in the best location for santa
ton, comfort, and appearances.
So long as the farm family get&
up af ali unholy hour in the morning
in a cold house, to build fires and
carry III water Lefore the breakfast
can be prepared, just so Iong viii
the farm family continue to looh
yearningly toward the comforts en-
jOyed by their friends in town. The
splendid independence of the farm
is we'll enough 10 talk and write
about, but the people who live that
life of independence would like t.
see scr?e of the backache and chill
blains taken out of their experience

Waving the Flask.

To the Editor OF The Times:
Secretary of State william Jennings
Bryan. replying to criticism for hav-
ing gone into the State OF Maryland to
advocate from the stump the election OF
Blair Lee for the United States Senate,
who, when member Of the Maryland
State legislature, was instrumental in
the defeat Of the local option bill, which
the temperance people of the State had
worked so hard to have enacted, said
in an interview with press reporter:
7 regard the national issues as para
mount, and I think 1t will be a grea,
mistake for any Democrat to assist in
sending Republican to the United
States Senate to tie the hands OF the
President and obStruct his policies.''
Accordir to this interview, Mr..
Bryan has put himself on record as be-
ing first of all a politician. subo-dinating
even morality to the success OF the
Democratic Administration, and, accord
ing to his own declaration as quoted
above, paramount to the temperance
issue -. d.
/ am reminded In this connection OF
q speech made on one occasion by the
late Hon. Alexander H stephens, OF
Georgia, to his constituents. It is re-
lated that, waving a small flask Of
whisky, ne exclaimed: This, fellow
citizens, is the true spirit OF the Demo
cratic party" A. J. G.

EXTENSION OF THE PAR
Gel POST.

"A parcel post station around the
corner" is Postmaster Thornton's
latest plan for the popularization of
the Governments express service in
Philadelphia. At present there are
more than 100 places which receive
parcel post packages; beginning
February 16 there will be twice that
number. The additional stations
were decided upon as a matter of
public convenience. With the weight
limit of packages increased to fifty
pounds, it is important that a send
ing station be within easy distance
of every prospective customers
home.
The innovation will put the parcel
post system in closer competition
than at present with the privately
owned express companies. The OK
press companies, by reason Of their
recent cut in rates, have somewhat
the better of the argument for public
patronage. The same spirit of legiti-
mate competition which led the post
Office authorities to extend the
weight limit on parcels no doubt will
bring about further extensions of the
service. 1t is likely that in the not
distant future parcel post wagons
will call for packages just as ex-
press company wagons do at pres
ert; that a free insurance arrange
ment will be introduced, and that re-
ceipts will be given for every pack
age.
This sort of competition hurts
neither the express companies nor
the Government organization. In
both, it makes for better service at
a lower cost, with correspondingly
bigger business all around, smaller
overhead expenses and consequently

Why So Much Noise.

To the Editor Of The Times:
l desire to call your attention. and.
through you, the attention Of the pop-
ulace OF this model town of ours to
what seems to be an abuse OF privilege.
The time between Il O'Clock midnight
and a. m. is, by common consent, set
apart for sleep. It Is then that the
town becomes huge dormftory. and
should be as silent as a hospital h,,t
at this very time the milk, baker, and
butcher wagons seem to enter a con
test to see which can murder the most
sleep by their thunderous clatter
through the streets.
We are urged by some, perhaps all
nsa!tn author1ties to sleep with our
WINDOWS open. and when these thought
less drivers prevent US from doing so
they become public nuisance and
should be suppressed.
Is there not, among the thousand and
more police and traffic regulations.

LINCOLN AND SUFFRAGE,

It is interesting to recall, on a
Lincoln's Birthday in a year full Of
woman's cry for a vote, that Abra-
ham Lincoln, seventy-eight years
ago, wrote a suffrage platform which
could not be Improved upon today
except by the elimination of one of
the thirty-eight words.
1t IS the platform upon which.
Lincoln ran when he was a caudi-
date for the legislature in 1886:
81 go for all sharing the privilege
of the Government who assist in
bearing its burdens. Consequently,
1 go for admitting all whites to the
rights of suffrage who pay taxes or
bear arms, By no means excluding
females"
Lincoln was only twenty-five
years old in that campaign, but he
had already acquired his wonderful
art of saying things that everybody
could understand and remember. The
word "whites" was necessary in such
a platform in 1886. AS for its
elimination, it hardly need be said
that Lincoln'S own later acts elimi-
mated If,

OTTO PRAEGER, POST
MASTER.

1t is difficult to see how a more
fitting selection could have been
made for the Washington Postofice
than that of Otto Praeger. If it
were desired to have a Democrat,
Mr.. Praeger has always been one.
If a Progressive Democrat were re-
quired, he is all that, and has been
all that for all the years he has
been citizen. If, going yet fur
ther, it be required that the ap-
pointee shall have been a Wilson
Progressive Democrat, Mr.. Praeger
peculiarly qualities, for he was one
of the group of active leaders in the
fight that carried Texas for Wilson
instructions. Nobody who remem-
bers the Baltimore convention will
fail to recall that without those
forty votes for Wilson" on every
ballot from first to last, Wilson
would never have got in sight of
nomination.
With every political augury in his
favor, Mr.. Praeger could add the as
surance of capacity to give a first
class business administration of the
office. He has Eeen a resident of
Washington for nine years, CORE,
spondent of the Galveston and Dallas
News, a brace Of papers which are
among the most important and use,
full in the whole South. He is a stu,
dent of affairs, an able writer, and q
man of vigorous convictions.
Lest there may be some who
clinging to the notion that Wash,
irgton Offices ought to be reserved
for Washingtonians who have nc
claim cf citizenship or attachment
elsewhere, it is worth while to sa!
q word in Mr.. Praeger's special be
kalf on this point. He will, as post
master, be in a position to serve
Washington interests in many ways
He is equipped to do that in mos
effective manner, for there is prob
ably no citizen of this communit!
who has a larger or more agreeabl;
acquaintance among the men il
Congress and in official positions
who are now running the Govern
meat. Washington needs to hav'
| just such men enlisted in its behalf
at this time ana at all times. Nj
Fraeger is in position to be of yer.
great use to the city, and he has tn
most ample equipment for that pur
pose.
