"The Straight Road" is the drama Of

alley and the avenue. The true heart
Of the metropolis beats throughout
the production. Clyde Fitch knew the
city. and the various social strata, and
in "The Straight Road" he supplied
a play that does not alone show the
city's pavements, but that goes far be-

EXPLOITS or ELAINE.

Any one who has followed this re-
markable serial realizes that only
words Of praise can be spoken of it..
One of the most attractive features is
that while each installment has to do
with the same characters each has
some entirely new plot, which is COM
plete enough in itself to entertain
those unfortunate enough to miss the
other episodes. Exits through secret
passages are common enough in crime
pictures, but there is much originality

PREDICTS DAsTER
FOR SUFFRAGISTS


To the Editor Of THE EVENING
JOURNAL;
Sir--ln your editorial of March s.
on Senator Salisbury aud Race Pre-
iudice," you speak OF the suffragists
holding their own today" and that
the drift OF things points to but one
result" and that. "Every state thai
/ adopts woman suffrage adheres 10
woman suffrage" You also state that
when commonwealths like New
York. New Jersey, Pennsylvania and
Massachusetts agree TO submit TO
their electorate. the question OF the
onfranchisement Of their women, there
is but one answer"
II seems TO me that this IS a ques-
tion of hasty judgment. Woman suf-
frage is not sure 10 come" IL can
be restricted within its present limits
by the concerted action of men and
women who are opposed TO IT, Mr.
Salisbury speaks from the political
and Democratic point OF view. but we
feel that from the point Of view of
common sense that suffrage is on its
way TO defeat al the polls in several
OF the most important States in the
Union and that II can never be voted
upon favorably In Delaware.
From the boastfulness OF the suf-
fragists, il might be supposed that the
suffrage movement was sweeping
everything before IT, But this Is not
true. The suffrage movement has not
gained a foot Of territory through the
vote OF the male electorate, cast of
the Mississippi river. Not one OF the
New England States, not one OF the
Middle States. not one of the South
ern States. not one OF the Middle
Western States has given full suffrage
to women.
"Nor is this all. Every State east
Of the Mississippi IN which the pro-
posal TO give the ballet 10 women has
been submitted TO the voters has de-
feated Il by an overwhelming major
ity.
"What then. is the present sltua-
tion. Simply. that in nine States
west of the Mississippi women have
the full vote. The combined pOpula-
ton of these nine States is less than
the combined population OF New York
city. Chicago and Philadolphia. Tho
combined population Of seven Of
them Is less than the population of
New York city alone. Are these nine
mostly sparsely-settled States-only
three Of which have a population OF
as many as million each-ilkely TO
force their policy upon the other
thirty-nine?
And what is the Immediate pros
pect? No one will deny that tie East,
not 10 mention the South, is more
conservative than the West. Suppose
that New York votes upon this ques-
tion next year. Is It any more likely
10 be carried for suffrage than Ohio,
which defeated Il by a majority of
S7,455? Suppose that the proposed
suffrage amendment is submitted 10
the voters OF New Jersey next year.
Are they any more likely to adopt II
than the voters of Wisconsin. who re-
jected il by a majority Of 91,479? Sup
pose that the question goes to the
voters Of Pennsylvania next year. Is

To the Editor OF THE EVENING
JOURNAL
Suppose the workhouse were
overcrowded. what would you advise
the Legislature to do? A like prob
lem confronts the managers of the
Delaware Industrial School for Girls.
One of the two buildings Of the
institution near Claymont Is about
completed and ready for occupation
and the other one is nearly finished.
But the managers are greatly con-
cerned by the delay OF the Legislature
/ In aDpropriating money 10 pay for
them. The school is a State institu-
tiOn TO which girls are committed by
the courts and the present building
is overcrowded Levy Courts. grand
iurics and committees Of the Legis.
lsture recommended removal TO tho
country. A committee OF the last
Legislature after visiting the school
and praising t. reported: 1T is an
absolute necessity"
Az the last session in 1918 the plan

kind. number and cost OF the new
buildings we're fully explained to the
Legislature. and through newspapers
10 the people Of the State. AT least
nine newspapers then favored the APP
preparation asked for. But money
was voted for an armory. the Wo-
mems College and other new things,
and only half of the amount asked
for was appropriated. and II was
known 10 be inadequate.
The managers then clearly under
stood that they we're expected TO come
TO the present session for more money.
Several responsible members OF that
body say they also so understood the
matter
The problem Of what to do with
the girls committed is still to be
solved. II Is obvious TO all that
something must he done The facts
cannot be overlooked by the Legis-
lature. They have been made clear TO
the committees Of the Senate and
House. am hoping through your
paper to make sure that all the mem
