The Woman's Suffrage Movement.
By Miss Anna MOrrell.

enlightenment that is being thrust
before US on all sides! Why do We
choose to sit back in darkness and
ourselves with that. when
we could be, progressing along with
those who are working in the light?
Those uncharitably inclined would
answer the above questions by say
ing that 1t il all due to a lack of
development. But, progress
in all its forms and along all lines
has had the same struggle and the
same obstacles to overcome from time
and "a long as human
nature Is what it IL. this struggle will
20 on. Every movement has tts
scoffers, its doubling Thomases and
its absolute stand-patters who are
"agin" it. But, when an issuse
means better homes, better citizens,
a better country and. therefore, a
better world. this issue will finally
triumph in spite OF all objections.
1.-THE greatest enemies Of woman
suffrage are the organized LIQUOR
Dealers" says DR.. Harvey w. Wiley.
A mistaken idea that some people
harbor. IL the tact that where woman
suffrage exists, prohibition will sure
" follow. Suffrage and prohibition
are NO more allied than are any
other ad' Gates Of pure government
and Prohibition. But the fact re-
mains true that the greatest menace
to the welfare Of our homes and con-
seQuently to humanity Is m uncon-
trolled liquor traffic. The woman,
who Il often the. one. most to surfer
under these conditions. naturally
realizes, when she can WELD a politi-
cal sword, that 1t Is her time to
strike. at the root Of all her misery,
and she doesn't fail, to do. so. Can
the organized Nquor. dealers deny
that she hits at the very foundation
Of misery, want and unhappiness?'
"Woman's sphere. is the home"
That Is one of the strongest reasons
for giving her the vote. Do not
most of the questions decided by
ballot affect the home. either direct-
" or Indirectly. How can. woman
care properly for the home unless
they have something to say in the
politics that affects the home in more
ways than one What keeps the
street filthy in the neighborhood of
the home? Politics. What puts
the saloon on the corner near the
home? Politics. What protects the
nuisances on the streets? Politics.
Who il. it feels the effects of all these
things In her home and on the lives
OF the children? The women who
have no say in politics.
Women want the ballot to protect
their homes against impure food,
badly inspected meat, infected ready
made. clothing. impure water. bad
sewage disposal, white slavery and
contaminative Influences OF all kinds.

and in the long run It might not
prove benefit to the men. 1t has
been credibly reported that many ma
ehinists have left the government
service in other cities.
The wage board which was detailed
to inquire into the wage scale paid
at various big private steel ordnance
plants with a view to bringing the
Washington navy yard wage rate into
agreement with the private scale has
returned its report, and that report
is now in the hands of the Secre-
tary of the Navy. The findings of
the board have not officially been
made public, but for months it has
been a matter of common Under
standing that there has been a mark
ed increase in the pay of workers in
the private plants turning out steel
products and ordnance as well as in
other plants employing machinists.
AT meeting which is scheduled to
take place on Monday between the
Secretary of the Navy and a commit
tee representing the navy yard ma
chinists it is hoped that the differ
'ences which have existed and which
still exist between the Navy Depart
ment and the navy yard workers will
be adjusted.

Urging National Defense.

In view of the approaching confer
ence in Washington on national de-
tense, which will be participated in
by veterans, the National Defenst
League, the Navy League, the Ma
tional Rifle Association and affiliated
defense societies, it is worthy of note
that considerable strength has been
given to the national defense move
ment during the encampment. Near
the conclusion of his term of Office
as ommander-in-chiefo of the G. A. R.,
and in addressing his comrades, David
J. Palmer said:
1T is our belief that the G. A. R.
will stand with President Wilson for
the peace of humanity without the
surrender of American rights on land
or sea- If we maintain an indie
pendent existence as nation, we
must maintain a national force"
This is unquestionabiy the attitude
of the men who know more about
the horrors of war than the great
majority of the present advocates of
unpreparedness and peace at any
price.

Mr.. Marshall and Next Year.

This is from an interview with the
Vice President after his call at the
White House the other day:
will the democrats nominate the
same team next year,"
Il don't know. I'm for Wilson. The
party has the right to nominate any
one it wants for Vice President. !
shall not ask it to nominate me"
Mr.. Marshalrs is the digni6ed, the
diplomatic, the common-sense view
of the matter. 1t is for his party to
say. If it is pleased with his services
it can command them further.
Will it command them? Why not1
Has he not served in his place as
satisfactorily to it as Mr.. Wilson in
his? His temperament and equip
ment, it is true, are not associable
with the Office he holds any more
than they would be with a place on
the bench. He has snap and wit, and
a natural taste for a scrap. He speaks
well. and as do all men with the gift
likes to exercise it. Sitting in the

The Model City.

If Washington is not already the
model city it is certain to reach that
proud estate. Among all the people
of Washington interested in civic bet
terment, and that includes practically
the whole citizen body of the Dis
triet, there is a constant striving to
make Washington city which all
other cities may take as an example
and pattern. Among all the peo-
pie of other cities interested in civic
improvement there is a general ex-
pectation. if not demand, that the
capital be the model city. In the
news columns of The Star the secre-
tary of the American Civic Associa-
ton has been quoted as saying that
"the whole country is looking more
and more to Washington, its capital,
as a model in respect to physical
growth and administration of a city.
Washington should be able to show
all other cities the correct thing in
city management, in police, fire and
sanitary efficiency, in the paving and
upkeep of streets, in the care Of
parks, in the administration of Or
gained charity. in public lighting. in
traffic regulation, in urban transit,
in building regulations and the many
other municipal functions and activi-
ties.

Navy Yard Wage Scale.

The expectation is reasonable that
the machinists in the Washington
navy yard will share in the wage in
crease that has come to the ma
chinists in other parts of the United
States in consequence of the indus
trial uplift caused by war contracts
and other factors. Naturally it has
been a matter of discomfort among
the machinists at the navy yard that
their services were worth consider
ably more in private plants outside
of Washington than in the govern
ment ordnance shops at the Wash
ington navy yard. There has been
a strong temptation to the men with
out family or property ties to leave
the government service here. This
would be loss to the government

Protest From Hortense.

Il think that father has a nerve"
Exclaimed Hortense Magee,
ITO fout the coffee that / serve
And criticise the tea.
For father goes into the woods
A little rest to win,
And lives for weeks upon the goods
That are preserved in tin.
And when he takes a coffee pot
And tits it on the fire
The mixture that he brews is not
A beverage to admire.
His coffee is pallid buff
Through which the grounds run
loose;
His tea is pathetic bluff.
And tastes like jimson Juice.
The biscuit that he bakes with glee
Are hard as granite blocks.
The bacon, too, appears to be
Clipped out of sandstone rocks.
I'm weary of the sad pretense
From which he will not swerve;
Again say" exclaimed Hortense,

The Fight for Preparedness.

As matters stand. the fight for pre-
paredness is in very promising shape
1t is not. of course, won. Much re-
mains to be done, and should be done
with diligence. Likewise it should be
done with care All speculation about
the amount that should be expended
and in what lines contains more or
less embarrassment for the cause.
Nothing is known as yet as to what
either the army experts or the navy
experts have recommended or Will
recommend to Secretary Garrison in
the one case and to Secretary Dan
iels in the other, or as to how the
recommendations of his cabinet ad-
visers will influence the President.
Until that is known we shall be deal
ing in generalities.
The pacihcists put forward two con-
tentions. They charge, first, that
such preparedness as is contemplated
by its advocates would saddle the
government with an enormous debt,
and bring about both militarism and
navalism when the people neither de-
sire nor need either. Taxes are al
ready heavy enough. and Europe is
a warning against the possession OF
a big fighting machine.
The second contention is that until
the war in Europe is over it will
not be possible to appraise what i'm
PIGMENTS have justified themselves or
what have failed. If we are to dis
card old things we should be sure
they are of no further use. If We are
to invest in new things we should be
sure of their value. Wait awhile. Let
us see the outcome of struggle
which has developed both new ag-
gressives and new defenses, and set
both old soldiers and old sailors to
guessing.
The policy of preparedness aims at
neither militarism nor navalism.
Neither does it comprehend an enor-
nous expenditure of money at any
one time. 1t is not get-ready-quick,
do-it-all-at-once proposition. 1t could
not be. Neither armies nor navies
are made in day, or year. Train
ing and building are necessarily slow
processes.
The present Congress will meet the
emergency and respond to q most
substantial public sentiment if it in
angurates a policy and gives it the
right start having for its object in
creasing the army and the navy to
the proportions called for by the size
of the country. the extent of our OBJ
legations, and the spirit of the world.
We know our boundaries. our popula-
ton, and our place among the ma
tons, and also-what is most I'M
portant-that no millennialistic mani
festations are now in evidence any
where. Force is still the wear; and
we must be prepared to meet force
with force if we would preserve what
as a nation we have established and
are so proud Of.

Courtesy of the Railway Men.

The patience and courtesy OF the
street railway employees in Washing
ton are being favorably commented
upon, and although these good man
ners have not been assumed by the
conductors and the motormen es-
pecially for this encampment 1t would
seem that either spontaneously or by
agreement among the street car men
they are showing greater consider
alton than usual for the old soldiers
and their wives, helping them on and
off the cars, and reducing or modify
ing their commands of "Step lively"
and Move up 'front.'"
Courtesy is an individual and civic
asset, and by this token is worthy
of preservation and constant practice.
The public servants OF Washington,
those employees of the public service
corporations and of the city and ma
tional government whose duties bring
them into close touch with the peo-
pie, measure up to the best standard
of conduct, and it is only fair that
this quality should be now and then
commended as encouragement to
those who always practice courtesy
and as a stimulus to those who have
occasional lapses. Perhaps in no
other city do the street railway en-
ployes, the city police, the park po-
lice and the watchmen in the tourist
haunted buildings have so many de-
mands made upon them for miscel-
laneous information as in the Capt.
tai of the Nation.

and with the privilege and duty only
of keeping his ears open, cannot al
ford him entertainment, much less
satisfaction.
Still, Mr.. Marshall has filled his
Office most acceptably to both sides
of the chamber. His rulings have
been fair, and his general bearing
such as to make an excellent impress
sion..
Probably the only reason why an
other running mate for Mr.. Wilson
has been suggested grows out of the
condition of Senator Shively's health
which is not satisfactory. Although
doing his full part at the last session
of Congress, Mr.. Shively was much
under the weather, and since Con-
gress adjourned has been something
of an invalid. Should he regain his
strength, as all hope he may. he will,
of course, go on with his duties. His
term has several years to run. But
if his physician should advise
against further activity in so exact
ing a field he may retire.
In that event there would be two
senatorships in the scale in Indiana.
Mr.. Kern's successor will be chosen
next year, and the senator will stand
for reelection.
Should Mr.. Marshall leave the pre-
siding offers chair in the Senate for
a seat on the floor he would enjoy
himself and add to the ginger in the
chamber. He has very definite views
about things, and the habit of candid,
and the faculty of breezy, expression.
And there is now so much going, and
all of it of a nature to appeal to a
man fitted for and fond of discus
sion, Mr.. Marshall would bear a
hand and a tongue worthy of the
Senate's and the country's attention.
