Within a week Massachusetts, and
New Jersey have decided to vote next
fall on constitutional questions grant
ing equal suffrage to women. New
York is already In line. Rhode Island,
is preparing to follow suit, and Maine
will not be far behind in the process
sion. Equal suffrage in Maine is a
Republican platform demand. 1t is
the demand Of Republican statesmen,
press and voters. 1t is the demand of
the oranges. and the churches. 1t is
the demand Of leading Democrats of
the State, and if the Legislature
should refuse to give the people an
opportunity to decide the question, it
will make the greatest mistake that
any Legislature Of Maine has made in
a generation.

A mechanician at Lake Forest, Him

BILE Of making a speed Of IS miles per
hour on ordinary roads. The machine
IS IA feet long, fitted with two sets of
runners. and is driven by a 60 horse
power motor, with an aeroplane pro-
peller mounted at the rear. The idea
seems SO sensible that we wonder he
has not attached the propeller plan to
some sort Of toboggan so that he
would not be confined to roadways
but could skim across the fields and
pastures and over the drifts without
waiting for shovellers or breaking

There should be a large attendance
Of club women, at the Legislative hear
ing to be held in Representative hail,
Augusta, next Wednesday, Feb. "a. at z
O'Clock. At that time the committee on
temperance will give a hearing on
House Bill No. 81. which would permit
the sale of Intoxicating liquors, for me-
dicinal and mechanical purposes, and
for the arts, not by town agent as
formerly, but by the registered drug
gists, apothecaries and physicians or
this State.
Will 1t add to the peace, safety and
prosperity Of your home town. If the
physicians and druggists sell intoxicat-
ing liquors, is the question you are to
answer to the legislative committee
on temperance. You can answer by
your presence, at the hearing. or by
letters and kilograms.
The chairman of the committee is
Senator Leslie Boynton, and the other
members are Senator Young A. Thurs
ton, Senator Eugene l. Herrick, and
Representatives Lorenzo 7. Brown,
Edgar S. Fossett, Henry F. Drawn.
Ashley st. Clair, William 3. Bragdon,
Frank Russell and Frank L. Allen.

traffic and the General Federation. at
the Chicago Biennial, last June passed

Whereas the liquor traffic is responsi-
BILE for three-Quarters of the crime, vice
and misery in this country.
Be 1t Resolved. That the women of the
General Federation more than one mil

How does this proposed legislation,
which would allow druggists and ply
sicians of Maine to sell Intoxicating
liquors, square with this resolution.
and your own idea, that legislation
should protect the home, and be con-

We are uncompromisingly In favor of
the American system OF prote ton and
we protest against its destruction by the
existing tariff law. This law serves the
the interests of the United States Of
America We accept the issue thus made
and We confidently appeal to the people
for their judgment. The protective sys-
tenn must be restored and maintained
It's abandonment has always been fol-
lowed by general disaster to all inter-
destructive 10 general business. to labor
and TO the farming interests Of the coun-
try. We heartily indorse the patriotic
efforts of Republican United States sena-
tors and representatives in Congress
looking toward repeal Of the existing
low tariff law and the enactment OF a
protective tariff that shall restore to
American labor and industry their full
rights in the American market.
Because OF these things, and the
standpat attitude of the administration,
there can be no escape, in the next
campaign from a tariff issue. Indeed,
that will be the chief issue, unless the
nation should become involved in war.
Every thinking man now recognizes
that the greater danger of the present
low tariff is bound to be encountered
after the present war is over. If indus
tries have been harmed by the tariff.
under conditions Of the present, what
may be expected when the war ends
and the millions of workers now en-
gagged in battle return to the wheels Of
European industry. with the necessity
Of great industrial activity staring
! them in the face, and every nation
realizing that its very life depends up
on recuperation of business ard en-
couragement OF workers? It may easily
be imagined that when that hour ar
rivcs these war-weary soldiers and
their dependents will be willing to work
at any price.
With these inevitable results before
Us, the tariff war in this country has
already begun, and the longer the
Democratic party stands pat on it's
outworn policy, and pretends not TO
the people go to the polls in the next
election. The tariff today, instead of
being a complex problem. is quite gen.
orally understood by the average man
of the street. Without understanding
the intricacies OF high tariff and low
tariff and the revenues to be derived,
every working man realizes that he has
been hit by something. and as it hap
pens to be the same sort Of blow that
he was told by Republican leaders and
press that he would receive, he is now
convinced that it was the tariff that hit
him.

A bill is to be introduced in the
French Chamber of Deputies provid-

business interests ruined by the war

Why not provide credit, at least as

which to make loans to small business

tariff which gave us the deficit?

The Tariff War Has Begun

In spite of the government deficit, Of
the idle industries of the bread lines
and soup houses, of the appeal of
thousands Of workmen whose families
are hungry administration leader and
press still stand pat upon the Under
wood tariff bill They claim to recognize
10 harm to business through the tariff
measure They see no frown of idle
worlmen. they hear no vail of hungry
children to which they are willing to
attribute the cause as the Democratic
tariff -for-revenue policy-they lay it
all to "the war" They do not admit
that any Of these conditions existed
prior to the sudden outbreak Of the
war last August, and refer to the news
reports of business depression, indus
trial stagnation and sufferings of the
idle and dependent, as calamity howl
ing.
But regardless Of this attitude Of po-
litical cocksureness, an insistent de-
mand Is being felt from various Sec
tons of the country. States that have
suffered Industrial hardships are aris-
ing and declaring in terms that cannot
be mistaken, that the administration
must come off it's high horse and rec
ognize conditions that can no longer
be excused or mistaken, and give some
measure Of relief The Pennsylvania
