WASHINGTON. January G.-Senator
Lodge sharply criticized President
Wilson's Mexican policy in the Senate
to-day and drew reply from Chair
man Stone, of the Foreign Relations
Committee, branding the attack as 4

Senator Lodge reviewed incidents in
Mexico since the Mndero revolt. He
declared anarchy existed In Mexico to-
day. and that it was all hut too In ate
for this government to adopt any
policy other than military occupation.
He insisted that personal animoslty on
the part of President Wilson against
General Huerta had erected the ad-
ministration's course toward Mexico.
and that the Presidents omission of
any mention of Mexico in his last an
nual message to Congress hnd left it
to be presumed that he had no policy
to advance now that Huerta was
ousted

ator Lodges statement that 1t was i'm :
possible to expect organization of an
orderly government In Mexico Ha

Senator for precipitating the discus
sion OF foreign relations at this time.
Senator Lodge had Incorporated in
his remarks an article by former
President Roosevelt attacking the nd-
ministration's Mexican policy and maxi
ing mention Of charges OF religious
persecution In Mexico.

There is too much OF that going on
now. both by Protestnnts and Catho-
lies. can think of nothing more dan
gerous to our political and civil life
It Is time for patriotic Senators to arise
and do something to check the onward
movement OF this great religious con-
hict. This is not the age, and this not

kind should be encouraged"

closed their case day before tho SEN

been Investigating the allegations since
last summer.
G. a. Douglas. of Dulaney's counyel,
argued that testimony before the com

That Southern Railway coal rates
10 South Atlantic ports had been un-
duly discriminatory against coal opera
tors In Southwest Virginia. Eastern
Tennessee and Eastern Kentucky: that
the Southern Railway. while in physi-

deposits that are seeking market

ports that Northern coal via the Nor

het in tho South. while Southern coal
cannot pass either to Southern or

rectors have no real financial Interest
In that road. but are Interested heavily

other roads"
Mr.. Douglas declared the evidence

SUFFRAGE BABIES
BEST ON EARTH
Break Worlds Record For
Perfection.

Another striking proof of the bene-
ft of votes for mothers comes to us
from an equal suffrage state. The
worlds record was broken at the Bet
ter Babies contest recently held at the
Interstate Fair in Spokane, Washing
ton, a state where vote. So
many of the youngsters were so near
ly perfect that, after the preliminary
tests, an additional competition a
to be held to settle the relative mer-
its of the babies who came up to SO
per cent or over. At the close, the
winning babies and their mothers
were put into seven big touring cars
and taken around the fair grounds
amid the enthusiastic cheers of the
great crowds that had been waiting
patiently to see them.
This news will please Miss Julia c.
.Lathrop, head of the Children's Blu
reau at Washington, D. c., who is a
strong advocate of equal suffrage. In
her address at the last National Suf-
4fragz Convention, Miss Lathrop said:
Instead of being incompatible with
child welfare, woman suffrage leads
toward it, and is indeed the next
great service to be rendered for the
welfare and ennoblement of the

THE WHITE HOUSE AND WOMAN
SUFFRAGE

Among the recent occupants of the
White House, the younger generation
has shown strong interest in woman
suffrage.
Miss Margaret Wilson, who, as is
well known, takes a keen interest in
social questions, is a suffragist, as is
her sister, Mrs. Francis B. Sayre.
Miss Helen Taft, who has just grad.
uated at Bryn Mawr, is an advocate
of equal suffrage, as were the daugh.
tiers Of ex-President Theodore Roose
welt.
The Misses Cleveland, unlike theiI
mother, Mrs. Thomas F. Preston, are
~suffragists and have been taking an
active part in suffrage work in Prince
ton, where they were associated with
Miss Hibben, the daughter of the pres
ident Of the university.

new JERSEY LAWS
FAIR TO WOME?
BY Louise C. Morris.

An examination of the laws OF New
Jersey shows:
First-The father is sole guardian
of the children. Upon his death the
state allows the surviving mother to
be sole guardian providing she re-
mains a widow. New Jersey women
are thus generously" relieved of all
legal right and responsibility in the
children they bear-with one excep
ton; the mothers of illegitimate chill
dren are vested with the sole guar
dianship of their offspring.
notwithstanding to New Jersey
law a girl may legally consent to be
ruined at the age of sixteen; al
eighteen years she may legally con.
sent to be married, but not until she
is twenty-one years old may she lie
gally consent to part with real es
tate.
Third-The Rathbun bill, recently
passed by the New Jersey Legislature
and signed by Governor Fielder, takes
away the dover and courtesy right.
Until this legislation the dover
right gave the wife the use for life OF
one-third of the net income from
whatever real estate her husband died
possessed of, the husband being un.
able to deprive the wife of this dover
right even by will. On the other hand,
the courtesy right gave to the hus.
band the use for life of the whole OF
the deceased wife's real estate. I'm
der the old law the husband could not
make a good deed for any piece OF
property he owned unless his wife
joined him in its execution. He may
her signature. A companion bill (Sen.
ate No. 275) has since been passed
to restore some semblance of rights
to women who are robbed of their
dover rights under the new law. This
bill gives to married women of legal
age the same right to acquire and dis.
pose of real estate they would have
were they single.
Pondering upon these matters IN
wonders if the privileged class" does
not consist of well-to-do spinsters and
those fortunate married women to
whom chance has given husbands who
are not inclined to take advantage OF
their legal rights. Certainly it does
not include that poor woman who kill.
