A Ioke That Is M Ioke

Many business man borrows his brains
from his stenographer.
TNHIS sentence from the humorous column
i of the Boston Post is not a joke. 1t is the
solemn truth. and in its 10 words there is
probable explanation of the new woman
movement. The capable woman who goes
into business office and discovers that she
has more brains, more initiative, more fore
sight and more judgment than the average
man with whom she works begins to think.
She does not think very long before she de-
cides that she will not consent to play a sub
ordinate part in the work of the world, but
will at once begin to demand that she be put
on an economic and political equality with
the men.
And what a woman wants she usually gets.

The Sinking of the William p. FRYE

TIME sinking of the William p Frye was
i not an act Of war against the United
States, but against the Allies. This is the
fundamental proposition with which all con-
slderation of the case must start.
If a mistake was made and If wheat were
not contraband of war. even though destined
for British ports, Germany has no defense
when a demand for reparation is made by
the United States. We must assume that
Germany will recognize its obligations under
international law in this case until the con-
trary is proved.
But this does not affect in any way the
obligation of the State Department to in
sist that reparation be made to the full eX-
tent of the righteous claims of the owners
of the ship and of the cargo
The affair contains no threat of war and
becomes at once a dlplomatlc incident.

The Human Side of Politics

| NTEN are human beings before they are
! 11 politicians. The machine leaders never
make the mistake of appealing for votes on
| grounds of abstract justice and they never
seek to secure the adoption of theories. They
are intensely practical and prudently
human. This is the secret of their ascend
ance
The late Charles b. Quigley. the leader Of
the 10th Ward, a fine specimen of the
type. The 10th Ward runs between Arch and
Vine streets from 9TH street to the Schuyl-
kill River. 1t contains nearly 5000 voters
and almost every one of them supports the
Republican ticket. Or, perhaps it would be
truer to say that they all support the
Quigley ticket. This man was a friend to
those in need whether they were deserving
not. He is credited with securing the dis
charge of scores of men accused of petty
crimes, and in return the men have voted as
he directed He paid coal bills STAYED off
the rent collector, looked after the under
taker whenever he was needed, and acted as
a sort of feudal lord in the protection of his
retainers. He had glad hand and a hearty
smile for his followers, even if they were
dirty outside and inside.
QuiGley was a valuable man to the Organ
ization, and the Organization took care OF
him as he took care of the voters, and re-
formers found it impossible to weaken his
hold in the ward.
He was not a philanthropist, but a very
common sort of man who knew how to carry
his point by getting into human touch with
the voters and keeping in touch with them
He paid the price and he got the goods. Any
other man who is willing To pay the price
can get what he wants. 1t Is not necessary
to deal with crooks and blacklegs to reform
city politics. But It is important that the
men who think more of honest government
than of their personal profit should also re-
member that friendly smile, a companion
able manner, and the treatment of even the
humblest voters equals will win more
votes for a cause than the most elaborately
argued thesis on the advantages of a uni
cameral Council can ever win for legislative
reform in this or in any other town.
The units in the political game are human
beings. and not ivory figures on chess
board. If the Teformers win cut this SEN
tence out and paste it in their hats and read
it every morning from now until the next
election there will be better government here
than there has ever been before

The Apparition of the Eitel Friedrich


TIME German cruiser Eltel Friedrich might
l. almost have dropped from the skies into
the harbor of Newport News without causing
more astonishment than she produced when
she steamed in yesterday. Her whereabouts
has been unknown for weeks. She was with
the German squadron at the Falkland Is
lands, but escaped, and she has been reported
as off the coast of Peru. But she has steamed
around the continent of South America and
has got far north as Chesapeake Bay
without any word of her movements reach
Ing this country. That she has been active
is proved by the presence on board of 326
prisoners being the officers and crews of the
ships she has sunk. She Is In need of coal
and provisions and must also be repaired
But where did she get the coal and provisions
10 maintain her since she was last heard
from and where has she been operating?
These questions are not all fully an
swered at present They form romance of
the sea which the officers could tell IL they
wished. Some day the story will be written,
not only of the work this ship has DONE but
OF the achievements of the other German
commerce destroyers, and it will be absorbing
reading, even though told without any OF the
artifces of literature. The Germans may not
control the sea, but they seem to be al home

In short, with the exception of the fragrant
thuggery the last election in Terre Haute.
upon which the Government is basing its
conspiracy case, was in no wise different
from the elections which have taken place
in Philadelphia for the past 10 years. Ever
since the political ascendancy of John e.

knew that fraudulent work went on during
