The Voice of the People
Are Women. Votes Neededf

To the Editor of The Times Dispatch:
Sirs-Your editorial Of October states that
women Will doubt I'm time be given the
precious privilege OF citizenship, but that they
need not hope to change conditions Sad pre-
diction! But Is 1t reasonable?
We thank our friends-the enemy-for these
timely admonitions not to waste our energies
perhaps lest we think moro highly OF ourselves
than ought To be told that we are not
needed because women have not acconplis hed
anything where they have voted smacks OF
disrespect, not OF boasted chvalry. They
taunt with the fact that there are still
sinners in Colorado, and that Illinois Is not an
FL Dorado. In Colorado largely In
the majority, and largely In political
authority. but the women of that State have
Initiated and promoted legislation there for the
welfare of women and children to such an
Union--an organization of expert sociologistsA
has declared that Colorado has "the most
humane. most progressive. most scientific laws
for the protection OF women and children OF
any State or country
In Illinois it is true that the women's vote
has already driven out 900 saloons, but they
say why not all? Chicago has had the largest
registration in the world since the women were
enfranchised. They would not vote in large
numbers at the primaries because by SO doing
they would pledge themselves to the party
candidate for two years
We know full we'll. without being reminded
that the millennium will not dawn because
women have votes, but do claim that the
blended viewpoint Of men and women voting
together will bring better results than men
alone could bring.

Reserve Bank Organization

DROMPT organization of the Federal re-
l serve bank. for the Richmond district,
the election of George j. Seay as governor,
and of James A. Moncure as secretary; the
selection and occupation of temporary quar-
ters and the busness-lke way in which the
directors got to work comforting auguries
or the manner In which the affairs of the in
stitution will be conducted in the future.
Richmond may feel a just pride that the
first of these great agencies of the NATIONAL
government in the direction and control of
the countrys financial affairs has been or
ganized here. Under the circumstances, we
may hope, and perhaps are entitled to expect,
that the Richmond bank may be added by the
Federal Reserve Board to those of the New
York, ChicatS0. st. Louis and Boston districts
which 1t is planned to put in operation on
October 15. AT any rate;the Richmond bunk
is ready, awaiting only the reserve boari s
mandate to get down to business.
The financial depression through which
this country is passing perhaps does not sug-
gest an undue haste in putting the new bank
Ing system into active operation but, on the
other hand IL certainly does not warrant any
undue delay. In the South especially there
is pressing need of the sort Of financial relief
that the regional reserve banks are expected
to supply or to aid in supplying This neeu

ury McAdoo and the Federal Reserve Board.

been explained sufficiently In the past.

issue OF the campaign for it's location here
1t remains for the future to say what the

and to the great system of which it will form

Richmond and itself. That 1t will do

Teaching Policemen Their Duty

a MOST excellent idea is the school for
"A policemen, which Cleveland is going TO
establish. 1t Is not planned to teach them
how to use their clubs or revolvers, nor even
how to make arrests without the use of
weapons. but Ito Undue patrolmen with the
right spirit and to show them what their at
titude should be toward the public and what
the attitude of the public should be toward
them"
Richmond has good many reasons for be-
leying that the members of her police force
understand quite we'll their duty to the COM
munity and know that the value Of the SER
vice they render is not measurable by the
number of arrests they make. Indeed, 1t is
not too much to say that this city's deserved
reputation for orderliness and for quiet and
loyal observance of .law-is due in large part
to its policemen and to the intelligence and
efficiency with which their energies are
directed.
Probably there is not another city of Rich
mond's size in the country where fewer ma jor
crimes are committed and this despite it's
large negro population. When we congratu-
late ourselves this condition, we should
not forget how largely it is contributed to by
the policeman on his beat.

Mr.. Croker Returns

1T is to be assumed that Richard Croker,
former leader OF Tammany Hall, is we'll
equipped with the sense of humor that
usually characterzes the men who become
political bosses. This characteristic of his
must find large store of food on his present
visit to the United States. He remembers
his own period of power. in the course of
which Tammany Hall was frequently wiped
of the map its power broken and it's heads
discredied-in the mouths OF its opponents,
but never in the minds of the voters
This time he finds Tammany Hall in the
same condition. 1t u.s. we are told divorced
from city State and national corncribs. In
the last New York mayoraty election it went
down to one OF its most disastrous defeats.
and only succeeded in polling a paltry quar-
Ter OF a million votes for the head OF it's
ticket Az the last Democratic National Con-
Vention II was hamstrung. In short these be
very bad days for Tammany-so bad. indeed
that Croker would probably shed tears if he
did not remember that this universally con-
demned organization is chronically killed, but
always living
The former Tammany chicftain probably
grins at the way history repeats itself His
leadership had been taken from him to the
same extent that Murphys has been--aIways

THAT New York German-American. who
offered Rudyard Kip1ing $4,000 to come
to America and read on any night he might
select, some Of his anti-Russian poems, must
be getting tremendous lot Of enjoyment out
of his correspondence with the British bard.
Mr.. Kipling has declined once and again, and
under the special circumstances of the case
is not likely to change his mind and accept.
The poems he was urged especially to read
are 1.-THE Truce of the Bear" and 1.-THE Grave
of the Hundred Head" Lovers of Kipling
will recall that these verses, to say the least
of 1t, cannot be described as particularly COM
plimentary to the Russian character. War,
like politics, makes strange bedfellows.

The Waste of Life

7 T is within the truth to say that rightly or
wrongly, opinion in the United States has
cTystallized into the belief that Germany can
not be ultimately successful in the present
conflict. This belief is based on the fact that
even Napoleon--one of the greatest military
geniuses in all the history of the world-was
not able permanently to withstand allied
Europe, and on the further important facts
that England has settled down to long war
and that Russia has done the same while II
has been proven that French soldiers can face
Germans unflinchingly, and have even had the
long-desired experience Of seeing their backs
Germany has not demonstrated any supe-
riority in leadership or personnel that war
rants American opinion in believing that she
can Withstand the pressure of numbers
For these reasons there is coming into
being IN this country the conviction that the
slaughter in Europe is utterly wasted. AL
though we hate war, we can understand that
10 carry 1t to successful termination lives
must be given. Until it was proven that
France. Russia and Great Britain were able
TO cope with German arms, 1t seemed logical
enough for the Kaiser to spend his subiects
lives with a lavish hand. Now we are left
with the suspicion that by this time the Ger
man authorities are, fighting more as a mat
ter OF pride than With any sincere hope of
success. And pride that costs thousands of
lives is not an emotion that will find MANY adj
mirers in the United States
Nor is 1t to be supposed that Germany can
hope for better terms by continuing the war.
Every day the allies remain in arms means
to them loss Of many lives and much treasure
which will be added to their bill when the
time comes for presenting it.
