Answer TO a Criticism.

Editor kenaebec Journal:
As you conduct an open forum! in your
paper l hope you will allow me space
FOR few comments OF the recent suf-
frage hearing. Criticism was made OF
the fact that the sufragists were repre-
sented by Hon. Robert Treat Warehouse
1t has in the past been the custom OF
the Maine Woman Suffrage Assn to
have their hearings conducted by law
yer who was a member Of their associa-
ton Ghe organization is made up OF
both men and women and a member OF
their legislative committee. This year
the suffrage resolve was introduced into
the Legislature b. the Maine Woman
suffrage Assn in cooperation with the
Mems Equal Suffrage League and the
Grange, so that il was eminently fitting
that Mr.. Whitehouse should conduct the
hearing as ne is president OF the Mems
League. Mems Suffrage Leagues are be-
Ing formed all over the country and they
are working actively TO help women Sc
cure the ballot. James Lees LaidIaw.
the eminent banker of New York, pres.-
dent Of the National Mems Suffrage
League says: We want women to have
the ballot and We want them to have II
now" This entrance OF men into the
suffrage fight Is an expression OF the
modern form OF chivalry that is founded
on Justice. I should ike to call atten-
ton to the astonishing statement made
by Mrs. Ohphant that the five Western
states that failed to secure fun suffrage
last fall represented by shaded lines on
the suffrage map showing they have par
tial suffrage. should now be represented
black. When an amendment for full
suffrage fails to carry. the state does
not lose the form OF suffrage it already
possesses as Mrs. Oliphant implied by
her statement The suffrage map is abb
soIutely accurate and up-to-date and will
not need changing until next fall when
some Of the campaign states will no
doubt come into the suffrage ranks.

The Cincinnati Enquirer. one of the
strongest Democratic papers OF the
country, calls upon the administration
TO repeal the war tax" and revise the
tariff upward until i, provides suffic-
lent revenue for the needs Of the gov
eminent. II remarks sagely that the
Democratic party has long declared for
"a tariff for revenue only" and that
the present tariff has failed signally 10
provide the revenue. Our distin-
guished Democratic friend did not go
that far. but it might with equal truth
have said that while providing the
necessary revenue to run the govern
ment such a performance on the part
OF the party would also provide jobs
for thousands Of the present unem-
ployed.

The Sex Of the insane.

OF approximately every SO persons
n the United States in 1910, there
was one an inmate OF an insane asy-
lura- The exact fsSres expressed in
recent report OF the Census Bureau,
state that il a typical community OF
10000 persons, equally divided as TO
sex, rs Of the males and 30 OF the
females would be found IN the insane
asylums. IN the course Of a year, -
males and g. females would be ad-
mitted to the asyluMs. In 1850 the total
number Of inmates in insane asyluns
in the United States included 20,s35
males and 20,3o. females. Thirty years
later the number Of male inmates had
increased TO 1856, and the number
OF female inmates TO s., 095. The ex-
cess Of men among admissions in 1910
indicated still further increase in the
proportion, namely, LES males TO 100
females. An analysis OF these admis-
sions as to the specific forms OF in
sanity involved brings to light the in

What Europe 10 Losing

This weeks Golfers briefly deals
with the war spectacle in = way to
set most of US to thinking, If We have
not already pondered the same amaz-
ing truth:
The Italian Earthquake was an ap-
palling disaster, but Germany has
had such an earthquake practically
every three weeks since the beginning
Of last August, and worse, for only
her picked and skilled men are slain.
What can Nature do to men as bad
as the things they infict on each
other? The waste OF property is not
SO important, for what we have had
We can make again. but human life,
once wasted, is forever lost Think
of the devils task to which Europe's
leadership has devoted her strength.
The masses Of men now busted in
slaughter have no personal interest
in it When this war is over they will
60 back 10 work. and their lives will
be narrow and hard, or not according
10 what they can do in their several
places. But even now the power that
could achieve for all Of them a broad
er and better life is being poured ont
in murder like hearts blood into sand
These armies could construct a Paua-
ma Canal every month. they could re-
build all the slums on earth, irigate
The Sahara, clear the juggles Of Africa
and South America, and set mankind
20 living in a world worth while Why
IS there not sense enough TO do this
Why do We waste the ages in these
canceling policies Of hate and death
and fear? II is the Utmost creed Of
the United States that constructive.
helpful work is better than lies and
war, that a city Of brothers in bro
tharliness abiding" IS a dream that
can be made 10 come true for all men.
