BrandeIs for Suffrage.

Editor of the Washington Herald: Louis
D. Brandeis made an argument for
woman suffrage at the legislative hear
ing in Boston the other day. He said:
THE question of women's voting has
appealed to me rather from the point Of
view of duty than OF right. 1t is the
duty Of women to vote, in order that
they may get the full development to
which every American citizen Is en-
titled, in order that they may protect
themselves, and in order that through
their larger development they may aid
in protecting society.
we cannot solve our present prob
lens without the help Of all classes and
OF both sexes They are very grave
problems, which government never un-
dertook O deal with before. When the
policy was one of laissy faire. and gov
ernment was devoted mainly to keeping
order. it might be well enough to let
men keep order But now 1t is recog-
niZed that government must also look
out for social welfare. The finest fruit
of democracy is social justice.
1T has been my privilege to work with
many women, in many fields, and in
dealing with many different problems.
and l have become impressed with their
power to contribute important elements
which men. could not Whether women
want the ballot or not, we cannot afford
to exempt them from the obligation Of
voting"

its uncertainty appear, Perhaps, after all, that
candidate may stand the best chance of winning
who. has the largest financial resources. 1t is
going to cost a great deal of money to carry
States where the popular vote has superseded the
convention system. No one knows, and no one
ever will know, what it cost Taft and Roosevelt
and Wilson and Clark and all the other candi-
dates directly and indirectly, in 1912. Absolutely
legitimate expenditure for publicity, speakers,
halls, clubs, and other accessories of a campaign,
amounts to millions of dollars.
Believe Nomination Means Election.
The contest now being waged for the Repub-
lican nomination is inspired by the belief that
nomination is equivalent to election. The Repub-
lican landslide last November is accepted as the
forerunner of a complete victory next year.
But it will take approximately 400 votes to
nominate. With dozen favorite sons in the
race it will be difficult to reach this majority until
after many ballots. No wonder that each candi-
date wants to go into the convention with the
largest possible strength behind him and that
much political maneuvering is already under way.

SHOT THEIR OWN AvIAToRs.
President of AerOnautIcaI Society
Tells of Mistakes of British.

British troops have shot twenty of
their best aviators out OF the air by
mistake" That is the startling state
ment made last night by Thomas p.
Macmechan, president of the Aeronau-
tical Society of America, before thirty
Congress, which opened yesterday in
the Engineering Building, % West
Thirty-ninth street
Mr.. Macmechan returned on Thurs
day from England, where he has been
engaged in the construction of air
craft for the British government. He
spoke last night at a dinner at Hea-
ly's, in honor of the out-of-town del
egates to the congress. He gave an
interesting account of his observa-
tions, but would not touch on his own
plans.
Referring to the shooting of the
British fiers. the speaker said that
the news had been kept secret, but
had been told him by the head of 4
department and that 1t is a fact
1T has been found extremely diff
cult for the men on the ground to
distinguish their aircraft from those
of the enemy" continued Mr.. Mac
mechan. That is one of the problems
still to be solved. The British have
the best airmen in the world, in spite
VI INC great CAAOI u VI lIlt TtuCn ana
Germans to excel in aeronautics
The authorities in England do not
look upon the recent visits of German
aircraft to their shores IN the light OF
n serious effort to attack the country.
They know it to have been only in
the nature of reconnaissance, and
firmly believe the real thing is to
come later.
1T is for that they are preparing.
and some interesting changes in policy
have been made. First, the sweeping
of the heavens with searchlights from
London has been abandoned. The folly
ing those fingers OF light into the
night to beckon hostile airships has
become apparent.
Further. they have arranged the
lighting of the city so that what looks
like the lights of Piccadilly are really
located in the center of Hyde Park.
Other similar changes have been car
ried out, so that it would be no easy
task for the invaders to find any par
ticular part of the city"
Other statements made by Mr.. Mac
mechan indicated the possibility of an
important raid by British aviators
over Germany. He hinted at the like
lihood of twenty or thirty machines
flying at once to points far inland
with the object of wrecking the en-
emy's craft.
The new plan OF the British for de-
Tending themselves against Zeppelins
and aeroplanes, he said. was to meet
the invaders before they reached the
coast, and thus avoid having the mis-
siles fired by the enemy fall upon their
own forces or citizens. Also, he point
ed out, IL Zeppelin were to be
brought down before discharging its
load of explosives, the result to those
on the ground would be obvious.-New

THE HOLY sCORN AGAINST ENG
LAND.
Marching Song.

Wen all be of to England's shore,
Ye comrades all be gone,
With Hip, Hip. Hurrah! and the
cannOns' roar.
England, you'll be undone!
Macbeth.-The devil made you insane,
Your hands are drunk with blood,
With the great Birnam-wood-
A haunted army, thro' the mist
Waves on from the foggy sea,
Dead millions raise their clenched fist
And shout the curse on thee!
And bleeding corpses from out the sea
Stream up, yelling the word
Beware of lies and murder, thee,
For God is in the court"
You know them we'll, you know them
all.
Yourselves have made them slaves,
You brought half of the world to fall,
That you might rule the waves.
Woe unto you! No Dreadnoughts can
Save all whatever you won,
God struck ye down through the
righteous man,
England, you'll be undone!
Ye nations on earth, are ye blind and
old?
Will ye further vassals be-
Will ye beg from England food and
gold,
Be never your own and free?
With sword and song, come all along,
Freedom and God we have won,
We bore too long the tyrants' wrong,
England, you'll be undone.

discrimination ALLEGED.

Editor of The Washington Herald:
I suppose the subject about which
shall write you has been brought up
innumerabIe times, but II may be that
if we continually present this matter
some notice may be given it by the
men higher up"
Why is it that the men who work
for the government and are paid by
the day are not allowed any of the
privileges enjoyed by the men on the
annual roll? They need these priv
ileges as much, if not more, than the
annual men, for their salaries are usu-
ally less. 1t is certainly no cheerful
thought to have on your mind that
you have to work throughout the year
without having a vacation allowed
you, but when you are not allowed the
alternative of working on national
holidays, for which no pay is given
you and are simply forced to lose pay
for that day, it is, indeed, much worse
than can be adequately portrayed by
myself
We work just as hard as the annual
men, and why we should not be grant
ed the same privileges as they is be-
yond my understanding. 1t seems as
IL these privileges are for the chosen
few. among which the per diem men
cannot be numbered. What reasons
are there for such discrimination?

An Impudent Canard.

viii lying never cease? Here is a dispatch
from Mobile, stating that twenty-five cargoes of
lumber for foreign destinations were cleared from
that port during the first sixteen days of Janu-
ary. Besides sailing vessels "a number of steam
ships" have carried lumber to the Clyde, South and
Central America, Cuba and other countries. The
dispatch adds that Mobile lumber dealers are
Optimistic" So they might be if the situation
were as alleged. But we know that it cannot be,
for on January 25, the Hon. William G. McAdoo,
Secretary of the Treasury informed the Senate
were seriously checking our foreign trade and in
some cases, such as lumber and coal are stopping
it altogether. How, we ask, could those twenty
two cargoes of lumber have gone to foreign ports
from Mobile, in impudent defiance of an official
statement that export of lumber had been stopped
altogether,--New York ESening Post

Henry Ford,s BenefnctIon..

Editor of The Washington Herald:
A few weeks ago read one Of your
editorials in regard to Henry Ford's
''wouId-be automobiles" and there
fore am inclosing this clipping which
1 think would interest you:
Henry Ford, of Detroit, automobile
manufacturer, detailed the working of
the wage system which he introduced
at his plant last year. under which no
empIoye received less than IS a day.
Mr.. Ford said that since the plan had
been introduced the following benefits
had accrued to the employees:
Bank deposits had increased more
than 130 per cent.
'"The number of life insurance poll
cies taken out by employees and the
number Of homes bought by them had
greatly increased.
"Intoxication among the employees
had decreased. 1t was rare thing,
Mr.. Ford said, for an employe at his
plant to be arrested. The plan, he add
ed. was based on the belief that work
well done should be rewarded.
mo distinction was made against
former convIcts. Mr.. Ford said. The
other employees, however. are not al
lowed to know which of the men have
been in prison. A man properly fed and
clothed will right himself. Mr.. Ford
said.
"As to the accumulation and perpet-
uation of large fortunes, Mr.. Ford said
he believed 1t better, wiser and more
Just to make many men comfortable
than to make a few rich. He said the
great philanthropic foundation prob
ably did some good. but they were not
adequate.
"I do not think any man can do
good work mentally and physically for
more than eight hours per day
"Mr. Ford said in his statement that
under his plan. as in operation. men
were made men,
rwe have men who have been in
prison and who are cripples who are
making good. We would guarantee to
take every convict in Sing Sing and
make a man out of him."
Could you inform me of any cigar
cite factory owner or newspaper pro-
prietor who has done as much for his
feIlow-men? WILLIAM f. MAILER.
