WILSON MAY OUTLINE
PLATFORM In SPEECH
New York Address Expected to Be Bid
for Nomination and Declaration
of 1916 Issues.

The speech of President Wilson before
the Manhattan Club in New York next
Thursday night is expected TO be a bid
for the nomination of his party for
second term. Nominally. the President
goes TO address the Democratic Club on
the subject of national preparedness, but
he may forecast his views of needed
legislation at the hands of the incoming
Congress. This practically will be a
declaration of his platform and the is
sues of the 1916 campaign.
The call for the Democratic National
Committee to meet in Washington OF.
December and the controversy over
the Craftsmanship has revived interest in
Washington in the pending political stu.

against the continuance of William +.
McCOmbs as its chairman. Two elements
in the committee will fight for McCombs.
but with different objects in view. Nc
Combs sincere friends will stand by him.
while another group will support him for

Woman In New York and Kansas.

my wife is foolish little woman" said New
Yorker of distinguished family, discussing her suit
for divorce THE trouble with the women of to-
day is that they have too many strange theories
which make for domestic unhappiness. We are
cursed with feminism. For happy household
there must be but one head of the house. Two
heads will start fight sooner or later. When all
is said and done there be but head of the
household. l don't mean that the husband should
the kitchen and select his wife's clothes, but
do contend that in all matters of importance
affecting the home mode of living his decision
should be the governing one" There is no doubt
of course about how this man will vote on the
question of suffrage.
Suppose he lived in Kansas, where women
have only had the vote three yearsl Here are
some of the things the of the Sunflower
State may do under the law, compiled by its at
torney general in response to numerous inquiries
from different parts of the country for information
as to the privileges Kansas offers to woman:
She may take back her maiden name after
her husband is dead without any legal process
or legislative act.
She may keep her own name when she is
married.
She may persuade her husband to take her
name and give up his family name if she does
She may retain her maiden name for business
transactions and her husbands name for
social affairs
If wife does not like either her own or hus-
bands family name, they may change to a name
that does suit
woman may wear mems clothing without
any restriction except that she must pose as a
man.
She may vote at every election.
She may hold Office in the State and run for
Congress.
She may hold property of her own and give
her share of the family property by WILL but
cannot deed her share away.
She may take up homestead or school lands
as her property.
1t is not at all difficult to imagine some Kan
sas wife of the not distant future referring to
the husband who sues for divorce as that foolish
little man" and lamentng the curse of masculin-
ism. That New Yorker had better wake up.
Woman suffrage may not win at the polls tomor-
row, but it is not beyond the range of possibility
that. if he is blessed with a wife few years
hence. he may come down to breakfast some
morning to be greeted by his spouse, in frock
coat and high hat, telling him she is mayor of
the town, that her name is MacGregor and his
is Dennis.

By f. b. JOHNS.

The attention of the Secretary has been
called to the fact that very little Is be-
ing given out from the War Department
as TO the achievements Of the army OH
the border or elsewhere. Evidently the
army officers have construed the order
prohibiting them from discussing the
European war or the question of national
defense as instructions not to give out
any news relative to the army.
The infantry rife team recently won
the championship at the national rife
match. but no official notice Of this has
been taken by the War Department. IN
former years a victory by the service
team received recognition not only from
the Secretary of War but from the Pres
ident. Both the President and the Sec
rotary of War have usually written let
ters of congratulations to the captain
and the members of the winning team.
Extraordinary deeds Of valor on the
border by officers and enlisted men have
been almost a daily occurrence. In one
tight six enlisted men in command OF a
noncommissioned officer defended Kings
Ranch from an attack OF seventy-five
Mexican bandits. FiXe or six Mexieans
were killed but the soldiers escaped
without injury. All OF these events are
passing without notice from the War De-
Dartment while Secretary Daniels, on the
navy side, never misses an opportunity
10 praise either officers or enlisted men
for heroic deeds.
The Secretary OF War has been so
busy with his legislative program that
IL is presumed he has not been advised
OF thi. failure on the part of the de-
partment to give due credit to the
achievements OF the army.
Recommendations for the creation Of a
naval reserve along the lines of the con-
tinental army will be provided for in
the legislative program to be sent to
Congress BY the Secretary Of the Navy.
II in planned TO organize this reserve so
that it will not conflict with the navy
militia.
The naval reserve will be enlisted large
Iy for shore stations. II will be expected
TO relieve the regular naval personnel in
the event of war so as to fill out the
ships of the fleet. The naval militia I'M
der the new law Is to be trained for
service afoat. 1t is planned to send the
naval militia to sea as soon as II can
be modified and put aboard the ships.
Through force Of naval reserves it
is expected to secure a great many eN-
perts who can take places in the yards
and shore stations without much or any
service aioat The naval militia is rap
idly being brought up to q state of train
ing where IL Is thought that many OF
them can be used on auxiliary ships and
some of them can qualify for stations on
battleships.
The question as to who will be se-

The Piebald Americans.

This suggestion is we'll meant, but perhaps it
can be improved:
ITO the editor of the Sun-Sir: Would it not
be a good plan if all true Americans should at
once wear buttons stating the fact?
"a Veteran and Son of Veteran.
"New York, October g."
Would it not be better plan if all hyphenated
or bifureated or piebald Americans, so-called
Americans of divided allegiance, should at once
wear buttons of significant parti-color calling at
tention to their status?
This might not be so good for the BUTTON in
dustry, inasmuch as an overwhelming majority
of our fellow citizens would need no buttons;
but as general principle of classification seq
regation it is more logical to mark the exceptions
than TO decorate the truly American rules-New
