OUR friend Christy Mathewson and

can count on considerable sympathy
at the source for John Heydler. The
secretary and treasurer of the Ma
tlonal League is not only a golfer, but
was a contender in the North and
South championship at Pinehurst.
Furthermore, he plays good game
and gets under 80 on the No. course
at Pinehurst. which, as has been re-
marked before in these columns, is
fair average work for a man who re-
CARDS golf as a pastime, and the
writer has seen men who pride them
selves on their game get over that 80
mark at times on this particular
course.

article contains.
Furthermore, the financial condition
of this State lever was better, notwith-
standing the many ugly things said
about the present State administration,
chiefly by soreheads and disappointed
office seekers.
Moreover, the management of affairs
of the various State departments was
never in better hands, and the Stees re-

THE MAYOR UNNfAsKED

THERE is a good deal of chuck
ling throughout the city to-day
\ and all because Mayor John K.
Royals alleged nonpartisanship
given another severe jolt at the
meeting of the City Council yesterday
afternoon. City Commissioner Gorgas,
the other Democratic member of the
Council, tired of the controversy over
the filling of a vacancy on the police
force, voted with two of the Republi-
can members against the Mayor. This
so startled the 'nonpartisan" head of
the city government that he almost
had a CONFUSION. Recovering his
speech, he asked Commissioner Gorgas
whether ne was sure he was voting
the way he wanted to vote and Com
Gorgas. with ill-concealed
humor in his voice. assured the Mayor
that his vote had been correctly inter-
preted by the clerk.
Yet Mayor Royal will insist and en-
to make the people believe that
is purely n%onpartisan in all his
acts. &
II was a very surprising turn of a
controversy, but served a
good purpose in unmasking the Mayor
before the entire community.

PRESIDENT AND SUFFRAGE

~RESIDENT WILSON seems never
to be able to do the popular
! thing. The continuous perform
ance of kicking over the milk
pail at Washington must be agonizing
to the Democratic party leaders who
are trying desperately to overcome
the increasing disapproval of the ma
ton for the Administration.
After ducking the question for sew
eral months and sidestepping nimbly
to avoid the persistent efforts of the
suffragists to get him into a corner
the President yesterday admitted that
he will not urge "votes for women
on Congress.
Equal suffrage is a matter for the
States individually to settle, he told
the women who had come to ask him
for his support.
Doubtless some woman will draw
attention to the fact that the amend
ment of the national Constitution to
permit women to vote is very much a
matter for the States individually, as
a majority of them must accept such
al amendment before it becomes eff
fective. We cannot think of a simpler
method of ~ascertaining the sentiment
of the country on this important sub
ject.

WHEY HAS "SyNJPTOMS"

To the Editor of The Telegraph:
Just q few days ago some learned
professor CD discovered. from reading
ancient tablets, unearthed at the ruins
of Nippur, now at the museum of the
University of Pennsylvania, that the
downfall of man cannot be attributed
to woman. In the few days since
then the ~suffragette contingent
throughout the country is rushing to
the newspapers with columns of l
told you so and goodness only knows
what else. Now, Mr.. Editor, I think
the suffrage joke has about u its
course. The majority of the women
composing the s~uffragette organiza-
ton are women that are blessed with
this worlds goods, old maids, and
giddy creatures that gossip about the
tango and the bunny hug, and who,
when they appear on the street in their
new-fangled garb very much resemble
an Eskimo totem pole. Indeed, / be-
lieve that If it came to a point of
