Ann Morgan Tells of Woman's Re
sponsibilities in War and in Peace.

In the Woman's Home Companion fol
December appears an article by Anne
Morgan--the second in a series of foul
talks on the American Girl which Miss
Morgan. youngest daughter of the late
j. Pierpont Morgan, is doing for the
Companion. The article this month is
entitled "Her Responsibilities. An .ex-
tract follows:
Many anti-suffragists say that the
vote can only 90 with the power to bear
arms, and yet one of the first official
calls issued by the French government
after the order for mobilization OF the
troops was magnificent call to the
women and children of the country to
take the place of their fathers and hus-
bands out in the fields.
"The response was as instantaneous
and as sincere as the response TO the call
to arms, and everywhere in the poorest
districts of the country one saw the tiny
children staggering under their heavy
loads of corn and grain.
just as her public duty is clearly de-
tined in time of war, our girl can have
TO misconception OF her public respon-
sibilities in time of peace. At her door
lie the thousand and one questions of
housekeeping. The clean town
and the welldireeted schoolhouse are
hers to create, and still more hers to sus-
tain; then there arc the hospital and the
asylum, the prison and reformatory."

"Then comes that fendishly ponder.
GUS Christmas dinner, with resurrections
at intervals of tribal jests dragged out
of the family mausoleum for their an.
nual gibbering, and the coguettishness of
brothers wives, and the parading of the
dyspepsia of old Aunt Clara, and the
dinky table favors, mostly receptacles
for broken glass, Christmas candy, cum
ningly disguised as snowballs, Santa
Clauses and drums and young ducks,
over which you are expected to giggle
and squeal, and eventually collect and

were children. You have 90 pretend you

Arthur Manard, were chosen by the COM
mittee to pick out the best imam in cos
tune and the biggest freak. In the same
way they were to choose the women.

tbs hall and stopped in square and
prizes were announced. First for men
went to William Jones as 0pie Dldock

ladies, the prize being box of choco-
lates. Mr.. GLAND Harvey dressed as
charming lady received second for wom-
er, the prize being package of gum.

THE BRYAN DAILY EAGLE

He was always an advocate OF pub
licity in government, but all his de.
signs are shrouded in secrecy. And
so on.
Now all these things may be true.
But what do they really amount to?
The President Is able to be an "abso>
lutist" only so far as he represents
public sentiment. This Is the sole
purpose of his power with Congress,
as it was the source of President
Roosevelt's power. Every President
who speaks forcefully for the whole
Nation in opposition to the demands
of Congressman who speak for va
riety of interests is bound to be called
an "absolutist."
AS for the Baltimore platform, the
President has maintained its spirit
It would be absurd for him to follow
its details when convinced that these
details were wrong. It was evident
that on suffrage Mr.. Wilson was not
ready to commit himself. He chose
way of escape that seemed eaiest.
1t happened to lead into blind alley,
and the result was embarrassing. But
who fails to make mistakes? AS to
accessibility and the amount of pub
licity possible, experience has made
the President change his mind. These
are mere details of methods of work
ing.
1t is always possible to make miner
criticisms of any energetic executive.
Such criticisms were constantly made
of Roosevelt But a President must
be judged in a large way by the big
things in his record.
Thus far Mr. Wilson's great achieve
ments have outweighed in the public
estimation all the minor criticisms
that have been brought against him.

SO far as the belief goes that 1t acts
as a deterrent to others and curses
the wills which lead to murder. AS a
legal punishment it is a farce, espe-
cially conducted in recent notorious
case. 1t has a bad effect on the
younger generation. Good, noble
women die every day, and the only
attention paid to them by the press
is a line or two. Why, then, should we
exploit and glorify the death OF crimi-
nals?" Rabbi Goldstein said he
thought the next five years would see
the abolition of this form of punish

THE WILSON RECORD.

In his interesting analysis in Col
lier's of the record of President Will
son up to date, Peter Clark Macfar-
lane attempts to summarize the things
discreditable as well as the things
creditable to the President. 1t is
worth while to have both sides thus
presented. According to Mr.. Macfar-
lane, the President is "the greatest
absolutist in our history" he has
made the White House the seat Of
power.
He has "mangled" the Baltimore
platform. For instance. it declared
for free tolls for American ships at
Panama, but Mr.. Wilson has called on
Congress to repeal the free tolls pro-
vision. The President said he could
make no recommendation on equal
suffrage because the subject was not
in the platform, and then he urged the
building of an Alaskan railroad on
which the platform was silent. Before
his election he said the door of the
executive office should always be
open, but instead he is the least ac-
cessible President of a generation

Barbarities of Capital Punishment.
Capital punishment is a relic of the
dark ages and an insult to modern
civilization, in the opinion of Rabbi
H. S. Goldstein, a noted New York
Hebrew. What has been a proper
punishment for murder ten centuries
ago for murder is out of date today;
we have advanced in other matters,
why not in matters of punishment?
We should put the slayer beyond the
pale of society, but not punish him in
the name of justice with the very act
which branded him murderer. We
have let this matter slumber too long
in New York State" continued the
