interested have felt like those in favor

interested have felt like those in favor of prohibition that more progress would be made and made quicker by starting the work on the national end rather than by having the states take it up, but many are split on this point and it seems as if in the end it will be necessary to fight this out as a state issue,
 The women are very persistent in their work but they have other women fighting them, more so than the men and these women were in force in the national capitol yes- terday. Some of the speakers treated the question humorously and that Is hardly the way to handle matter of so much importance. It has reached that stage now when it should be de- bated on it's merits and it is mis- take to treat it in any other way. The women have made out quite a case and it seems as if the only answer to it is that they are women and for that reason they should not engage in any business which would have tendency to lessen their influence in the home in which they now reign supreme. It is that feeling that is preventing women from being given the right to vote. The cause, how ever, notwithstanding all this, ap- pears to be gaining strength. Women are allowed full suffrage in Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Washington, California, Kansas, Oregon. Arizona, Nevada and Montana.

What Is the Matter?
(Herbert N. Casson in Judicious Ad-
 VertiSing.)

What is the matter with the United States?" As I have been re- siding in London since the beginning of the war. | have been hearing this question asked on all sides. have never heard any satisfactory answer No one seems to know.
 Why are the American factories not running night ana day? Why are the railroads not opening up new terri tories and getting ready for the mil lions of immigrants who have already made up their minds to leave Europe as soon as the war is over?
 Why are there not fifty American drummcrs in London right now, try ing to sell S200.000.000 worth of American goods in place of the goods that were bought last year from Ger many and Austria?
 Why have advertisers become quit ters, just at the time when their ad- VertiscmentS were most needed and most effective in cheering on the business forces of the United States?
 From the European point of view the United States is a haven of peace and security and prosperity. It has no troubles that il dare mention to Bel eium or France or Germany or Servia or Great Britain or Russia.
 Every tenth Briton has enlisted. Every tenth Frcnchman is at the front Every tenth Belgian is dead. What does the United States know of trouble?
 If I could afford 1t, I would charter the "Mauretania'' and "Lusitania" and convey a party of 5000 American advertisers to Europe fo1 a trip of education. I would give them a week in London. a week in Paris and week in Antwerp.
 I would let them look at the Unit cd States from the scene of war. l would give them a look at real trou- blc. l would let them see trains. ten at a time, five minutes apart. packed with the maimed and the dying.
 I would let them hear, from fras mentary survivors, the incredible story of battlefields 150 miles wide,

Has Billy" Sunday the Nerve.
Philadelphia Public Ledger.)

Philadelphia Public Ledger)
 Without doubting the evangelist's courage, We may inform him that there are some things he does not seem to know or realize about this city and this commonwealth. Tn a blanket sense, he is right in charging the bipartisan machine with greed, graft and an alliance with "bOOze." But if there is one thing in the world that is horribly true it is that the bi- partisan machine could not keep it's strangle hold upon the people if it were not for the Whitewash of re spectabilit it gets every year from the class of men who form the com mittee to run the Sunday campaign. In the last election. when it was known and published that Penrosc was the avOwed champion of the liquor gang, when he was challenged to disprOve that he was a partner in debauching Philadelphia's mayor, when he stood branded as the very symbo of everything reprehensible in bipartisan politics even the multitudes of church officials and church mem hers stood sponsor for him and backed him a the polls. Some of them in dorsed him in letters, appeared on his behalf at public meetings and con- tributed funds to make his election

The County Prison system.
(Boston TranScript.)

Gov. Walsh supplies the answer to
 this. The county system, as he says,
 lis a superannuated product of the
 days of slow and costly communlca-
 tion." When 1t was created the
 journey from Boston to the New
 York state line required several days;
 now the distance is covered in few
 hours. It was almost necessary to
 have machinery for the performance
 of certain local functions, and so
 number of towns grouped themselves
 together and were created into a
 "county'' for purely local purposes.
 Crime too, in those days was To-
 cal. Usually the criminal was
 product of the locality in which he
 committed his crime, and the sec
 tion had personal interest in his
 punishment. Today all that has changed. A Boston burglar can com init a break in Springfield and return home in a few hours. The county, as such, has no special interest in the punishment of offenders. The recent raid upon the men who were lodging in Boston and Maine cars in Somer- vile furnishes an illustration on this point. Not one in ten of them be- longed in Somerville, or even in Mid delsex county. They were men from all parts of the east, out of work, shel- terless. Most of them went out from Boston in the evening to find sleep ing quarters in Somerville. If they had found a car in the same yard few hundred feet from the one they chose they would have been arrested in Charlestown and would have been sent to Deer Island to be cared for at the expense of Suffolk county. As it. was the county of MiddleseX spent $ 900 in caring for them, and when they were discharged almost all of them came to Boston again. So it is with many of the serious offenders who have no local habtations. Crime is against the state, not against the counties, and as all the conditions which caused the creation of the prison have disappeared the state should assume it's proper func- ton of controlling all persons within it's boundaries.
 Massa chusetts has recognized this in a large measure by creating state institutions for the treatment of many of those formerly cared for by counties, The state reformatories, the state farm and the prison camp ana nOSplId1 now contain more tHdH one-half of all the prisoners who are serving sentences. Go into the supe- ror court and you will see that the judge sentences one man to the state prison, another to the reformatory and another to the state farm-state institutions, all of them, admins tered and paid for by the state. At the same time he will sentence other men, not materially different person ally or in their crimes, to county pris- ons, to be supported at the expense of the county, institutions over which the state has practically no Not infrequently two or three men who were associated in the same crime are sent to as many different to be dealt with under different schemes. There is no req son for committing one to state off, cials and another to county officials.

Up to a certain age-or shall we say an uncertain age ?--the average man likes to be considered young but there comes a time when he may take pride in his years. Thus George Niter of Stanhope, N. J., repudiates the claim of Charles A. Schaefer, comparatively youngish fellow of 1o2, to state seniority honors. 'I'I be 1O7 years old on May 11th next" he says. II come from a family of charcoal burners, and every one of them lived to be close to 100 years.' This suggests an excellent way to live long-choose a long-lived ancestry We all know instances of families all the members of which defied the ravages of time to advanced ages. Longevity seems to run in the blood. Journal.

They don't know much about railroadiny and it is not likely that they expect to learn much from these trips. Their chief duty is to sell the prop erty and they naturally want to know just what they have to sell and how the property can be divided to sell at the best adVantage.-ManCh Herald
