Harlem News: The Women's Suf.
frage Association of Harlem is the
name of the new organization which
was formed here Wednesday after.
noon at a meeting held at the home
of Mrs. John Collins. The meeting
showed that Harlem has a goodly
number of suffragettes, though they
are not the militant style. They seem
to be an earnest bunch and are
throwing their hats into the ring to
put up a valiant figh tfor women's
rights in Montana.

LETTER TO EDITOR
MODERN BUSINESS

Editor Day Book:-I have been
reading your articles regularly and
believe if people would read more of
this kind of Gospel we would not need
any churches to tell them what to
do. There is no more damnable
character destroyer to be found than
modern business. It makes sneaks,
liars and thieves of people who would
be decent if they were not thrust in
to it to make a living. Yours for sue

Hearst and Teddy.-Hearst helped
Taft in 1908. Hearst tried to start a
personally conducted, privately-kept
party Of his own, when he launched
the independence League. In 1912 he
tried the Democratic party again,
with Champ Clark as his candidate
for the presidency. He failed again.
Hearst has been trying ever since
to destroy Wilson. He tried to force
Wilson into war with Mexico-where
Hearst owns large tracts of land.
Sometime ago I predicted that
Hearst and Roosevelt were working
toward each other and that before
1916 they would be found together.
Now both of them are trying to
amaIgamate the Republican and Pro-
gressive parties. The Examiner had
a long editorial Friday urging
Hearst's plan of operations upon
those two parties.
He is advocating a protective tar
iff and doing all he can to undermine
Wilson. Keep your eye on both
Hearst and Teddy. There may be a
break between Teddy and George
Perkins and the more progressive of
the Progressive leaders. Amos Pin
chot sounded the call to arms some
months ago. He demanded that Steel
Trust and Harvester Trust Perkins
be canned. Teddy said no.
The game is working out. Hearst

BrutaIities of War.-n there is
anything funny about this war, it is
the charges made by one country
against the brutalities practiced by
the other.
Complaints have been made to
President Wilson of certain horrors,
brutalities and atrocities practiced by
one army or another.
But what is there about the whole
blamed war that isn't horrible, brutal
and atrocious?
1t doesn't make any difference to
a dead soldier whether his heart was
pierced by a dum-dum bullet or a
cute little, steel-jacketed thing that
has been approved as perfectly
proper.
The really horrible, brutal and
atrocious thing about war is MUIR
DER, and it isn't possible to make
murder proper or respectable.
Even a state can't do that when it
hangs or electrocutes a human being
who has been legally condemned to
die.

 The wide distribution i'll stock own crship such as is shown in the Penn sylvania is becoming more and more q characteristic of great American corporations.

SOCIALISTS AGAINST SWEDEN INCREASING
 DEFENSE EXPENsES

STOCKHOLM - Thirty thousand socialists held today in front of the government offices a demonstration against increasing the expenditure for armaments and demanded that the ministers should work rather for peace and fraternity The premier M. Staaf replied that in spite of his sympathy in the question of interna- tional peace he was convinced that the Swedish people would be compell- ed to make a new and great sacrifice for the defense of the country. The government. however. he added. was not inclined to accede to the demands for prolongltion of the service in the infantry until after the general elcc- tion.
 On Friday there was a great dem- orstration by 10000 small lands own CTS and farmers from every part of tho kingdom in favor of the increase of Sweden's armaments King Gus tave said the problem of defense was enc which must he solved without less of time His speech is said to have led to serious trouble in the cabinet, the members of which intl- mated their desire yesterday to re' sign.

On January 1 the books of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company slowed that its stockholders number cd SS,5S6. uring the twelve months the number had increased by 13.431. Of the Pennsylvania stockholders 42.- 514, or almost 4S per cent are women. The large increase in the number of stockholders during the year shows that there were numbers of wise in- yestors, not frightened by the pre- veiling dullness on the stock ex- change, who took advantage of the low level of prices to buy securities which pay large interest on the i'm vestment cost.
 The wida distribution in the owner ship of the Pennsylvania constitutes one of tho large elements of strength in that corporation. It's stock Is held by people scattered along the entire length of its lines, the very people whom the railroad serves. It's own employees also find it favorite source of investment for their savings.

 The result has been that the growth os the navy has been haphazard. has been feverishly ushed at times when there was imminent national danger and allowed to go almost by the htard when there seemed to he un- t,ained observer no occasion for alarm.
 A study of the commercial aspera- tions of the nation and the strength of countries with whom commercial rivalry is likely to bring us into con tact, the study of the well established national policies, like the Monroe doc urine and the restrictions of Oriental immigration. and the defense of the Panama canal; the naval policies of other strong nations of the world has convinced the naval board that the policies of the nation could not be sustained without an adequate navy. that America must have navy or surrender the place it should justly hold among the nations of the world. It is not generally realized that the United States is lamentably behind ia construction of battleships and | that the navy has already been placed l in d position uf inferority during the 1 past two years. Such conditions in l vite war upon d great and rich nation and a strong navy which would pre- vent war would cost less than one month of war even though we were successful. A comprehensive naval program would be in harmony with | the requirements of the constitution | and would provide and maintain an
 adequate and well proportioned navy
 sufficient to defend American policies
 protect our citizens and uphold the
 honor and dignity of the nation.

Official Paper
NOME, ALASKA, MAY 6, 1914.

The Mexican situation does not seem to be improving. if the tele- graphic reports which reach Us can be relied upon. While the envoys seem t. be active in trying to arrange a peace both the United States and Mexico are preparing for a conflict which each day is making more prog ress that is the work of the peace envoys.
 the conference the threats of Zapata t. attack Mexico City and the tone of his proclamation against Huerta and his secretary of war, the threats of the revolutionists to burn Tampico and the activity of the federals near Vera Cruz and along the line of the railroad from Vera Cruz to Mexico City does not. give any indications that peace is any nearer by reason Of the efforts of the South American republics in that direction.
 The United States is no less active m it's war preparations. The instruc titns sent out by the war department tr the militia organizations of the oo'n try indicate that a forward move. ment is contemplated. While Huerta seemingly is willing to assist the in termediators in their work, as indi. cated by the sending two of his min isters to the conference in Washing. ton. yet his activity in strengthening his defensive positions between Yer; Cruz and Mexico City plainly show that he is shrewdly encouraging peac, negotiations to gain time. hoping tt bring together the warning faction: of the country to make common caus, against the, United States. That thu peace envoys are accomplishing noth ing and that each day the situation is growing more complicated is ap porent and it may be expected at an. time that negotiations which seen farcial and ridiculous will cease ant war will commence.

Though the doctrine of necessity is Q crimes against property. the courts have shown some signs that necessity mitigation factor. Of the last six larceny cases tried in the superior court, five of them were against de- fendants of previous good record, who c"ntended that they stole to relieve treir necessities. The minimum sen tence was imposed in each case.
 It ought not to be necessary. in this humane age. to commit crime tn relieve necessity So far as this criminal defense is concerned it ought to be but beyond the bounds of pos sihility. It is an injustice to the hon est nccessitous when crime Is reward ed with warm beds and good food, and the honest man who cannot sell his labor is allowed to suffer. \ lazy husband is given a S1.50 per day job by statute. and generously boarded. A burglar or thief or murderer. or bgamist, or other criminal is com fortably entertained at public expense. The condition savers much of a pen ;,lty for honest poverty and a prem ium for crime.
 A great deal of the unrest and the petty crime of today would be ob- viated by intelligent treatment of the deserving unemployed. It ought to be possible, at any time, for the impov- erished man to trade his labor for his dinner or a bed, and when the general welfare of humanity is considered 1t be comes a public duty to make sucn provision. It is better inahumanitar- ian way. and it is cheaper in mater iai way. It should not be placed upor the basis of charity, but upon the basis of an even exchange, with value T, ceived on both sides.
