Is simply this:
Fighting fer the ballot is the lest

the better they Will be to Ill. the rotc

II would be Il positive misfortune for
the women of any state % have the
franchise thurst into their hands pre-.
maturcly. The very fact that the
ONE of these four states have not
succeeded in their 1915 campaign is
evidence that their probation period is
not completed. When they are fully
ready. success will be automatic.
In the meantime. perhaps the won.

stage OF politics arc accomplishing as
much ultimate good in government
as If they already had the franchise
which Of course Is merely a step,

tend to anticipate their final success
by giving them the sort Of Legislation

fact Is apparent in every state where
the suffrage tide Is rising.

APIECE.
A NEWSPAPERMAN who has been
investigating our military and naval es-
adjustments reports that il costs $l2,-
600 10 train IN officer at Annapolis,
and $4,000 10 irain one at West Point,
although Harvard and some other big
colleges educate a student for about
$500.
In this case, as in so many others,
private enterprise accomplished a Civ
EN- purpose far more effectively than
the government. Both West Point and
annapolis are excellent schools, per-
haps as good as any of their kind in
the world. But there is little doubt
of the needless extravaganza in their
equipment and administration. In no
other country Is it so expensive TO
train officers for the army and navy.
Doubtless the expense could be re-
duced somewhat under present condi-
tons. 1t is likely, however, that the
most effective saving can be accomp-
lished by using these educational
plants TO greater capacity. The build
ings, grounds, mechanical equipment
and %instructing corps are already
there; the overhead charges are fair
ly stationary. If the number of stud
ents could be doubled. the added eX-
pense would be comparatively little,
and the cost per graduate would be
nearly cut in two. There is sure TO be
Il demand for improvement in this di-
rection.
