1T SPELLS PROTECTION

The city OF New Orleans has start
ed a movement which is practically
based on protectice tariff principles.
Made in New Orleans" and Buy in
New Orleans" are the new battle
cries. This is the local equivalent of
the national policy Of protection AZ ad.
vocated by the Republican party. and
IL is pleasure TO see a Southern
city imbibing the fundamentals. The
protection spirit Is not a new thing In
Louisiana. as her Senators and some
OF her representatives in CcnEress
have courageously shown on several
occasions. The leavcn IL working.
and who knows but what We may
soon have a Southern State enrolled
permanently in the protection column?
The New Orleans Item is booming
this new movement. and IL is piotoc-
ton TO the core. The city wants more
factories and the Item tells why:
we want them because their pres.
cnce spells opportunity for so many.
and energy and courage and initiative
for so many Others We want fac.o.
ries because factories mean pay rolls.
and pay rolls mean population en-.
ployed and generally content We
want factories. and prosperous facto-
ries-as wei a. prosperous iobbers

enough schools and enough parks. and

FOOLISH DISCRIMINATION

Something hobs up every now and
then that strengthens the woman's
suffrage movement BY the disclosure
OF some of the ridiculous discrimina-
tions against sex that are extant in
this enlightened age That these
things have always existed is no ex.
cuse for their continuance. One Of the
latest disclosures is made by a woman
teacher OF Pennsylvania. who. intend
ing to take a trip to the Pacific coast
this summer. sought information
about accident insurance. and was
properly dismayed and indignant after
reading through the card handed her
by one company. to be informed that
females were insured only in case
OF death" We heartily join in with
this lady's opinion of this particular
company, that it must realize that il
Is fifty years behind the times In its
attitude. or else 1t must be blind
Surely Il is short-sighted in adopting
such a policy in losing a good deal OF
money in premiums.
We can't for the life OF us under
stand the attitude of the company.
which as much as says to women who
seek its insurance. what does II mat.
ter II you have an eye put out a hand
or a leg cut of. you're only a woman,
end therefore you will not suffer as
man would. Simply a preposterous
discrimination. Happily there are in
surance companies that do insure
women against accidents. and We are
glad to know the school teacher final
ly found one OF them, and that her ex-
perience has added one more argu.
ment to the suffragist cause-as she
believes il has done.

that It will be caught either coming

A QUESTION OF VALUES

The New York papers are discuss.

which gave the parent $1,000 dam
ages for the loss of his baby son and
only $1,000 for the loss Of his baby
daughter. All are inquiring why this

opinion suggesting that the Jury

that IL could easily have avoided stir
ring up the old controversy OF relative
values by having made il 81 500 a

TO gather from representative women
OF the region their opinion OF the YER
dict. To the question. Is boy worth

have replied in effect. A girl Is worth
twice as much as a boy. So tina; one
is inclined 10 wonder whether II that
jury had been composed OF mothers
instead Of fathers. It would have re-
versed the ratio Of damages. And yet
from time immemorial 1t has been the
mother who was considered to love

Naturally the daughter Is worth

Should the Allies win In ne

er authority than had The CONT
mental Congress.
We have become so much ac-
customed to considering our
Union a. one great nation that Ne
md 10 hard 10 realize that Al that
early day 70 was a mere alliance
OF sovereign and independent
states bond together in a league

tains Us sovereignty. freedom ana
independence The said states

other Tor their common defense.
the security OF their Liberties and
their general welfare.
Now this Is the kind OF union
which exists between the Allies
today
The most suggestive analogy Is
that furnished in regard TO the
judicial settlements OF disputes
between one state and another. Il
Is tru" the manner OF selection
from the Hague panel Is some
what different. and the subms-
sion Is purely voluntary. In neither
case. however. is there any sane
ton or method OF enforcing the
hnal decree. In the case OF our
confederation. Congress had no
authority to enforce Il nor is there
any power to compel the perform
ance OF the DEGREES OF the Hague
tribunal. Yet in both cases there
were single decisions which We're
acquiesced in. Thus when Con
necticut claimed land within the
charter boundaries OF Pennsyl-
vania. FIVE commissioners were
appointed by Congress. who met
at Trenton and decided That the
land belonged TO Pennsylvania.
Congress affirmed the decision
and Connecticut submitted to the
decree OF a court established by
the United States" In a similar
manner. DEGREES OF the Hague tri-
bunal are acquiesced in by the
nations submitting them.
Are these resemblances not
enough to Justify the hope that
from the Hague panel there may
be developed a permanent inter
national court. just as our Su-
preme Court was developed from
the crude institution established
by the Articles Of Confederation
And. even more than this. that at
the same time a Union OF the pow
ers. like our own Federal Union.
may be developed from the pres
ent alliance out OF the Congress
which shall fix the terms OF peace
at the end OF the present war

violation or law and war usage ia be
yond all dispute. There is no need or
place Tor further inquiry. and the only
question Is that OF due reparation and
assurance that these murderous prac-
tices will not be continued.
As a second cause of difference he
tween him and the president and other
members Of the cabinet Mr.. Bryan puts
forward his suggestion "as TO warning
Americans against travelling on bell,-
gerent vessels or with cargoes OF am
munition.' In his note OF May i3 the
president has already taken the post
ton that the American passengers
aboard the Lusitania were exercising a
lawful right. were going peacefully
about their legitimate concerns Mr..
bryan asks whether our people should
not abandon their rights. whether the
government should not in effect with
draw from them It's protection when
doing what they have right TO do.
Had Mr.. Bryan's views been accepted
by the administration there would
have remained for us but one course.
We should have had to say 10 Ger

siruction. kill our people wherever you

CIVILIZED warfare. and we shall make
no protest. for we have warned our
people 20 look out for themselves"
Mr.. Bryan's statement OF his second
reason for dissent raises a natural but
unpleasant question. Did he formulate
his theory Of warning To American
passengers before the German en-
hassy issued its ADVERTISED warning.

There are some remarkabl
analogies between the league

IN the present European war ana
the league which existed between
the American colonies during the
war OF the Revolution. and mere
are other points OF similarity be-
tween the Articles OF Confeder-
alton OF our thirteen original
states and the proposed league OF
peace among the great powers OF
the world advocated by Ex-Presi-
dent Taft az the recent meeting OF
the World Court Conference at
Cleveland.
In the present alliance there

mere alliance of thirteen colonies
