How Many Men Are

Thousand Whose Figure Is Not
Lacking in Some Respect.

from measuring untold thousands.
A man may not necessarily look de-
formed, but If one shoulder is a trifle
higher than the other, or his waist
shows too many inches OF the tape, it's
only common sense to believe that his
garments will not fit properly unless
designed and cut to accord with his in
dividual measurements.
The ready-made suit may be pressed
into n seeming fit, but in a very short
time it says back to its original lines
and the resulting wrinkles show the
deficiencies in the wearer's figure.
There's a sure way to have perfect
fitting garments:-Go to NJ. Stein & Co.,
at Eighth and streets. and let Mr.
Mudd get busy with his tape measure.
He'll study your personality. suggest
the model best adapted to your figure.

to produce the suit that Is right.

PLEA FOR PEACE
District Odd Fellows Celebrate Ninety
sixth Birthday of
Order.

A strong plea for worldwide dis
armament at the close Of the present
war brought rounds of applause from
an audience of $500 when sounded by
Third Assistant Postmaster General
Dockery at exercises in celebration OF
the ninety sixth anniversary of the
founding of the Independent Order of
Odd Fellows. at Odd Fellows Hall
last night.
In spite OF the intense heat. the
hall was filled with friends and rela-
lives of members, and on the stage
the highest officers of the order in
the District were seated among palms,
roses and Odd Fellow banners. In
addition to Postmaster Dockery's ad-
dress. an extensive vocal and instru-
mental program was rendered.
After praising the ship
which the odd Fellows aim to create,
Mr.. Dockery contrasted the present
conditions of this country and Europe,
saying: when this terrible war is
over. when this flow of blood has
ceased. I earnestly hope that disarma =
ment will be effected and that this
goodfellowship shall be universal"

WHERE WOMEN VOTE.

The favorite argument against
woman suffrage lies in the assertion
that the women do not want TO vote
The Chicago primaries furnish de-
cisive answer.
Let those anti-suffraglst who say
they oppose women voting because
women do not wish to vote. read the
story of the Chicago primaries and
then forever hold their peace.
Chicago women voted as though
they wish to vote.
Moreover, the woman vote beat
Carter Harrison out of the nominal
ton for mayor.
The total registration in Chic go
was about 100000, of which re
than one-third were women. A, out
half the registered vote was polled,
and greater proportion of registered
women voted at the primaries than
registered men, showing clearly that
i'm Chicago at least there are mere
men who do not vote than there are
women.
Chicago is one of the greatest and
most truly typical of communities in
this country. Chicago men and Chi
cago women are fairly typical of the
men and women of the whole United
states.
In the light OF the Chicago vote. it
must be conceded on all sides that
some better argument must be pro-
duced against woman suffrage.
1t never was a sound argument. If
women did not want To vote. then ex-
tension 10 them of the privilege TO do
so could do no harm.

AUSTRIA,S ZONE

Austria has declared her intention
Of establishing war zone in the Adr-
attic similar TO that of Germany in
British and French waters and has
ordered its fleet to sink every NOR
chant vessel found in the Adriatic sea.
II is difficult To see what Austria
expects TO gain by this step for none
of the countries with which it is at
present at war have a port on the
Adriatic
With the popular sentiment in Italy
50 strongly in favor of participation
on the side of the triple entente it
would seem to be a move we'll calcu-
lated TO provoke that country TO ac-
ton.
The sinking OF an Italian vessel. the
loss Of Italian lives. as is almost in
evitable if the policy is pursued. would
be the last straw To the Italian people
even now clamoring for Intervention
so strongly as TO threaten a revolution
If their wish he denied.
AMI Italy has a well-trained. WELL
equipped army right now. that would
be a very potent factor in the final
result OF the war At best the step
seems in advised.

should be left in any attitude TO par
ticularly partisan sources
So far as application TO men is con-
cerned we do not know Of any partic-
ular instances where judges have
shown favoritism TO those OF their own
political faith. We have heard of
them, but have not Witnessed them.
Ii may be that the source Of com-
plant was more that of political op-
position than in reality, but why not
avoid the excuse for such partisan op-
position?
Criticism of the judiciary justified
or not is what is bringing the judi
question but that such a disrepute is
growing with the general public. The
Ballou bill is we'll calculated to re-
move the excuse for such criticism
when mere partisan rancor inspires it.
and besides. fundamentally, the judi
tisan prejudice such as a bipartisan
election might tend to overcome.
a non partisan tench chosen from
the whole people without regard to
partisan utilization would be respon-
sible to the whole people. The pres
ent partisan bench is presumably so.
yet. with reelection frequently an in
Centive, it is only human nature that
judge should also regard to some
extent. his partisan possibilities.
And judges are merely human. While
in the main we anticipate that after
the judicial temperament has really
begun TO develop. it assumes suprem-
acy over the ordinary impulses and
prejudices, it does not take many ex-
ceptions to work a lot of injustice
and cast a shadow of partiality over
the bench in general
For the welfare and dignity of the
bench, as we'll as for the well-being of
the people, and in the interests of jus
tice to all litigants. therefore, it Oc-
ours TO us that it would be wise for
the house 10 concur in this measure
which is in perfect keeping with the
spirit of the age.
