THE PRESIDENT FOR SUFFRAGE

President Wilson announces today
that he will vote for woman suf-
frage on October 10, when the pro-
posed amendment to the constitu-
tion is submitted at a special elec-
tion in New Jersey. The announces
ment is by no means unexpected,
partly because Of the feeling that q
man of Mr.. Wilson's opinions would
favor the extension of democratic
methods to the half of the citizenry
that has been denied part in govern
ment, and partly because in the last
few days it has become known that
members Of his official family would
take this position.
Four Eastern States are to vote
this fall on the question Of votes
for women: New York, Pennsyl-
vania, New Jersey, and Massachu-
sets. It would be altogether de-
sirable If all Of. them might carry
the proposition. In the first place
it would amount, if there were so
sweeping a verdict, to a substantial
settlement Of national policy on this
question. Further, h would remove
this issue from politics and put an
end to the danger that it might be-
come a serious partisan question.
The cause Of women is winning all
over the world. In Britain and
France the war and the splendid
part the women are taking in it is
settling all uncertainty in favor of
the women. In this country 1t must
now be apparent that victory for
the women is inevitable. Almost no.
body questions that. Why not, then,
have the settlement as soon as DOS
sible?
President Wilson's declaration,
following those of members of his
Cabinet, of Colonel Roosevelt, and
other national leaders, will have a
telling influence in the pollings of
the Eastern States.

MORE AND. MORE LAWYERS

With law schools opening to the
right of US, and more to the left,
and the enrollments in many run
ming high into the hundreds, the
average citizen is apt to tremble.
Already there are lawyers galore,
and the cynical say that with fewer
lawyers, and less law, everyone
would be happier.
There was hopeful sign of the
times when many Of these schools
announced for their openings ad-
dresses by prominent members Of
the bar, and the subjects of most
were concerned with the high ideals
that should be maintained in the
profession. One speaker hit the nail
squarely when he urged students to
concern themselves with the reason,
as well as the rules, of the law. No
less lawyer than former President
Taft has been a leader in decrying
the sort Of law that forgets justice,
the end for which law is supposed
to be designed. So long as this ideal
is held steadily before the students
there will be hope that the excess
of lawyers will not make for need
less litigation.
Neither is the outlook for these
young men so discouraging as the
numerous lawyers to be found in
the city directory might indicate.
That mysterious altitude, the top,
where there is supposed to be so
much room, grows more inacces-

II can't see now what plan would

say what would be best. Germany has
shown she has no respect for treaties

respects force and therefore we have

she will recognize that We are prepar-

sAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 2l.-Abraham
Ruef, once a power in San FraRcisco
politics, serving fourteen-year sentence
for offering bribe to San Francisco
supervisor. was paroled today from San
Quentia penltentiary by the State Board
of Prison Directors.
Ruef's parole provides that he shall SO
&c. Mendocino county, where he has a
ranch, and remain there ninety days.
Ruef requested that this condition be
made so that he might not be charged
with renewing activity in San Francisc1
politics, where a municipal election cam
palgn Is under way.
Ruef probably will not leave San Quen-
tin until Monday. because Of delay in
making out necessary papers.
Ruef has spent four years. five months
and fifteen days behind prison walls. He
was sentenced to fourteen years impris-
onment for having Offered a bribe to
Supervisor J. j. Furay. His conviction
was one of the results of the famous
San Francisco graft prosecutions.
With fun credits for good behavior his
fourteen-year sentence was automatically
reduced to eight years and ten months
He has served half of this, the minimum
requisite for parole. But in addition to
his prison term Ruef spent three years
IN the San Francisco county Jail after
