SWEETNESS AT nONEYsHUCK

Honeyshuck is a center Of sweet
ness today, for at the Missouri home
of the Speaker of the House, Miss
Genevieve, his daughter. becomes
the wife of James Thomson, of
New Orleans. Washington is well
acquainted with both the bride and
groom; it has been attracted by the
charm of the one and has admired
the ability and applauded the sue
cess Of the other. To both Of them
we raise a brimming cup and drink
that hearty toast of old Rip Van
Wrinkle, Here's to you and your
family, may you live long and
prosper"

There are greater reserves In this

To the Editor OF THE TIMES!
1t Is reported from Washington that
offers of large salaries are attracting
Government ordnance men to private
firms.
Secretary Garrison has asked whether
an army officer has AN inalienable
right TO resign his commission in time

This is a direct insult to American
army officers. and an indirect insult
to every American citizen-plainly TO

TWO SUFFRAGE VIEWS

Two eminent Americans have just
expressed their views on woman
suffrage, one opposing, the other
supporting, the movement. Cardinal
Gibbons believes woman's sphere
lies in domestic and gentler fields
and ways" and that "she has been
so successful there that we fear any
change by the carrying of her gov
ernment into the political field" He
asserts that equal rights imply that
each sex should discharge those
duties which are adapted to its ply
steal constitution and are sanctioned
by the canons of society, and that:
To debar woman from certain pursuits
Is not to degrade her. To restrict her
field Of action to the gentler avocations
after the higher and the better. 1t is,
on the contrary. to secure to her not
equal rights so called. but those super
eminent rights which cannot fail to
endow her with a sacred influence in
her own proper sphere.
Quite the contrary opinion is en-
tertained by Thomas A. Edison, who
declares he has always been in favor
of enfranchising women. "Women
represent the better part of the
family and the better part of the
community" he says. "Women are
more moral than men, they are
more honest than men. Their DO
litical influence in the community
would be for good" He predicts
that every woman in the country
will get the vote, and then:
l don't know that they will bother
much with politics. do believe, how
| ever. that when big issue is at stake.
suGh as voting for war. women will vote
when women get the vote they will go
| in for social reforms. and they will have
a big chance there. Women must be
Kept busy, and this will be a great
Nothing is more changeable than
the social canons, to which Cardi.
nal Gibbons refers. A little while
ago, even in England, woman was
chattel. In this country revolu-
tionary changes in the laws have
taken place in order to make her
lot more endurable. In olden days a
woman was little more than a slave
invention alone was sufficient to wir
for her half her freedom. If the in.
fiuence of politics were to debase
the sacrifice of life and treasure by
men for ages past was error. II
woman is to be restricted and de.
barred, it should be voluntary on hel
own part, and not imposed by men
If she is constitutionally unfit tc
vote, to express her preference fol
men and measures, it ought to be
demonstrated by experience, anc
not be accepted as a truth uStil il
is proved.
Mr.. Edison declares his belief
that women will obtain the suffrage
The progress of their cause makes
it evident. 1t is slow, but it is in
dicated daily, and the biggest prob
lem connected with the whole issue
is not how to delay the certain vic
tory, but how the country may Sc
cure the best results from.it.

THE SLAV RETREATS

The retreat of the Russian armies
north and east of the Dniester can
not be regarded as unexpected. The
grand duke now will make a stand
along the Zlota Lipa, the Bug, and
the San. If he succeeds in holding
this new line it will be only because
the Germans have transferred the
weight Of their offensive to other
points on the long front, for there
is no reason to believe that the Ger
man superiority in guns caf be
overcome for many weeks, maybe
months.
So far, the history of this war
has taught US that victory rests
with the armies having the greatest
weight of metal, and there can be no
doubt where this advantage has OBJ
tained up to the present time. The
Germans have had all the best of it.
1t was necessary for Germany to
rush. matters if she was to be the
victor. Pre-eminent in preparedness
for war, the initial advantage was
hers and most heroicslly did she
seize it. Her offensive has been
stupendous, no doubt her defensive
will be as stubborn.
Yet, slowly but surely, the greater
resources of the allies are being
utilized and the time must come
when they will definitely establish a
superiority in both men and Smuni-
tions. Until that time comes we
must expect to hear of more Ger
man drives, and successful ones.
This will be especially true in the
eastern theater, where on account of
the length Of the line and the great
er room for motion, the fighting
probably will not develop into trench
warfare to the same extent that il
has in the west. This must be borne
in mind when analyzing the situa-
tion in Galicia.
| OF far greater Importance is the
consideration Of Russian methods OF
fighting. Every school boy is ia
miliar with Napoleon's campaign II
Russia in the summer and fall o,
1912, and yet few of us seem to re-
member it in connection with thu
greater campaign now waging there
The great Emperor entered thu
land of the Cars with half mil
lion seasoned troops. He left i
with a handful of stragglers. Anc
yet he fought with that inimitabl,
strategy that had made him all bu
the master Of Europe. Three time.
he lost the opportunity to annihilat,
the Russians merely because the!
refused to stand and be annihilated
They preferred to retreat. Smolensl
surely would have proved the de
struction Of the armies Of Barcla.
and Bagration, but they Withdrew
during the night. Only one import
ant battle was delivered; that wa
at Borodino and then Kutusov re
treated. The whole campaign wa
series of brilliant rearguard &C
, tions on the part Of the Russians.
This should be kept in mind whel
we are told Of the collapse of Rus
sia in Galicia. Winning battles ma,
, prove to be more disastrous to tn,
Teuton allies than losing them t,
: the Slavs. The Germans can viii
with their superior equipment, bu
