Suffrage In Jersey,


The overwhelming defeat of wom-
N suffrage in New Jersey is regarded
ls a blow to President Wilson's po-
itical prestige. all the more SO be-
cause.-the vote against it was Ito / in
VIZ. Wilson'S own precinct.
Without in the least criticising the
president, some Of the more astute
Ieaders OF the suffrage movement have
regarded 1t as decided misfortune
hat the presidents announcement that
re would vote for suffrage should have
Seen followed Immediately by the an
iouncement of his engagement TO be
married.. 1t was, as these women
pointed out, inevitable that many who
might have been influenced by Presi-
lent Wilson'S declaration on the
suffrage question would suspect, as
loon as his engagement was an
bounced, that the suffrage pronounce
nent was designed to offset any crit
lcism which might follow upon the
announcement OF his engagement less
han fourteen months after the death
of the first Mrs. Wilson, rather than
rs a sincere contribution to "the
cause"
Some OF the suffrage leaders thought
It decidedly unworthy to connect the
two incidents, but many OF them be-
Heve that, worthily or not, many peo-
pie have so connected them and that
The ultimate result was to injure the
cause Of suffrage, especially in New
Jersey, where the first Mrs. Wilson
was greatly beloved.

of war. But there are issues upon
which the campaign Will be fought,
issues upon which the parties differ
and the nominees as well. These In
.volve questions vital to- the United
States and its prosperity. The Amer
lean people themselves will bring and
keep to the fore the great economic
questions upon which the future, as
well as the present. OF the country de-
ponds. Mr.. Wilson and his party can
not run away from these issues, and
hide behind foreign war cloud, much
as they desire 80 to do. This found
to be the sentiment everywhere. And
4 found, also, that the people were not
being deceived by an appearance Of
prosperity in certain quarters which
they realize was caused, only by war
abroad, and the existence OF which
was dependent entirely upon the con-
<inuance OF that war

Teaching Foreigners in Industry.

T ~
The Towel of Babel was failure
because OF the confusion Of tongues;
the industries of America are sue
cess in spite of IT. Men of forty diff
ferent tongues make up the army of
workers in the United States, and the
record Of their production astounds
tho world. This is possible because
Of improved machinery and sub
division Of labor. The raw laborers
ct the continents of the world are
harnessed to mechanical devices,
which, they do not understand; but
the task 10 SO simple that they read
lily adapt themselves to 1t.
During the first generation OF in
dustrial development all were so
.engrossed with expansion and pro-
duction that the; human factor was
lost sight Of, and especially is this
true Of the tongue-tied foreigner,
who patiently performed his task and
tipped his hat when spoken to. Then
came the turn of the tide, says a
writer in American Industries for
October. Conservatism became the
cry of the hour. The Safety First
movement pervaded the Industrial
world, as the perfumes Of Arabia,
the palaces Of kings. AS the move
ment progressed, the leaders came
face to face with the foreigners
forty different varieties of them.
They spoke to him, but he did not
understand. They devised sign
language-highly colorcd and some
times hideous. and the foreigner
looked on and smiled. Straw bosses
were employed, interpreters hired,
the foreign press enlisted. and yet
the leaders were not satisfe d-the de-
mand made upon their confidence
was far from assuring. The welfare
man wanted to know what was in
the heart OF the foreigner, how
much of all the stuff he prepared
was absorbed, and he prayed for the
gift OF tongues so that he could meet
this man face to face; and while he
unused accidents to foreigners went
on. Many firms broke the Gordian
knot by Diminishing all who could not
understand orders given in simple
English; other refused to hire men
who could not talk English. These
were seasonal resolutions; so when
scarcity Of labor came they were
suspended. 1t was negation, and
employers wanted to solve prob
lem that was very real. viz, how to
increase the intelligence OF the for
.eign-s speaking employees.
Manufacturers are dependent upon
the foreigner and his value as a
worker depends upon his intelligence
and this in turn depends upon the OPP
portunities offered him for self-im-
provement. A systematic plan of CO.
operation between the management
Of industrial plants employing for
eigners, and: the educating agencies
of every community in the land, will
solve the problem. Make this gen
eral, and 1t will blunt the point Of
the argument, SO often heard, I'VE
are not going to educate these men
for other plants" When all indus
tries take a hand in helping the
foreigners to understand English, the
work will gain such momentum
that one Of the problems connected
with the human factor in industries
will be on the way to solution.
America has an army OF 100000
600 workers. and the number OF for

there was something about his ex-

"Well?' she said, putting it in the

He laughed loudly.

COL. WILLIAM H. CROOK,
AGED j. s. OFFICER.
HAS PASSED AWAY
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, d c., March 13.-
Col. VIM. H. Crook, disbulsing officer
at the white house, and one Of the old
est of government employees in point
of service. died today at his home here.
Fifty, years of service as a white
house employe, through the admins
trations OF many presidents, made Col.
Crook one of the most familiar char
acters in the national capital, and in
his old age left him rich in personal
"reminiscences of the intimate side if
white house life. The assassinations
of Lincoln, Garfield and Mckinley, va
rious weddings at the white house, and
the Impeachment proceedings against
President Johnson were among numer-
GUS events Col. CrooI- recalled as oc-
curing during his half-centlry of ser
vice.
He was taken from the Washington
police force in 1865 and appointed Pre-
sident Lincolns bodyguard, and since
that date has been continuously in SER
vice at the white house, Col. CrooB
was the first TO bring notice of his ac.
uuittal to President Johnson, anG iatel
/ he became unusually intimate witt
President Grant and his family. Du''
ing this administration he was appoint
ed executive clerk to the president. II
1877, President Grant appointed Coz
Crook disbursing officer at tho WHIST
house, which position he filled unit
his death.
