 Explaining Cause of His Resignation

1.-TWO of the points on which we differ. each conscientious in his con. viction, are;
 First. as to the suggestion Of inc vcstigation by an international com mission. and
 Second as Go the warning Of Amer jeans against travelling on belligerent ships or with cargoes or ammunition.
 "I believe that this nation should frankly state to Germany that we are willing to apply in this case the prin. ciple which we are bound by treaty to apply in disputes between the Unit ed States and thirty countries with which we have made treaties provid- ing for investigation Of an disputes of every character and nature.

 These treaties, negotiated under this administration. make war practic. ally impossible between this country and the thirty governments. repre- senting three fourths of the people of all the world
 Among the nations with which we have these treaties are Great Britain France and Russia No matter what disputes may arise between us and these treaty nations, we agree that there shall be no declaration Of war and no commencement of hostilities until ahe matters in dispute have been investigated by an international commission. and years time is al- lowed for investigation and report. This plan was offered 10 all the no tions. without any exceptions what ever. and Germany was one of the na- tions that accepted the principle, be. ing the twelfth. think. Co accept. No treaty was actually entered into with Germany but cannot see what that should stand in the way when both nations indorsed the principle. | do not know whether Germany would accept the offer. but our coun. try should, in my judgment, make the offer.
 Such an offer. if accepted, would at once relieve the tension and silence all the iingoes who are demanding war. Germany has always been a friendly nation. and great many oi our people are of German ancestry Why should we not deal with Ger many according to this plan, Co which the nation has pledged its support.

Triumph For Honest Business

1t is a great triumph for honest business management. lt is a vindi- cation of the gorality of large affairs. Let us hope that 1t marks the end of persecution for political purposes and for which both political parties are responsible, that paralyzed enter prise for at least dozen years and has cost this nation more than a great foreign war
 And fortunate is it that the victory of the Steel Corporation comes jast at the time when 1t is most needed for the encouragement of American confronting opportunities in the history of our in- dustrial development

Will Restore Confidence
 (Philadelphia Ledger.O

The important point for the business world to note is that the judgment is based not upon narrow points of legal interpretation, but upon a supply of facts. and the latter, the Court found did not justify the complaint or call for judicial interference with the operations of the corporation Without using Che expression. the Court appears to have applied the law of reason to the issues before it, and the outcome cannot fail to contribute to the restoration of confidence in the business world

Law in the Light Of Reason
 fWashincton post1

The action Of the United States District Court at Trenton to dismiss ing the suit of the government against the United States Steel Corporation, is another demonstration that this nation is not yet prepared to destroy efficient business corporations sim ply because they have grown to im- pressive size. No longer is there any doubt that the Sherman law. the settled business policy of the nation, is being interpreted by the lower courts in the light of reason. The policy of the law, as interpreted by the lower Courts in the tobacco trust and Standard OI cases, is being enforced as it was intended to be en- forced with common sense and dis erection.

Ends Experimental Prosecutions

The complete victory of the. Unit ed States Steel corporation in the dissolution suit decided recently at Trenton will be received by the coun- try with unmixed satisfaction. It will be taken to prove that the era of what might be called experimental prosecutions under the sherman anti trust law has come to an end.

COMMENT ON STEEL
 CORPORATION DECISION

(New York Commerciall

(NeW lOrk COmmercldll
 Big business is not bad because 1t is big. and size is not the measure of monopoly. The United States Dis trict Court has so held in dismissing the Federal Governments suit against the United States Steel Corporation under the Sherman antitrust act. This is a notable victory for honest busi- ness and for independence in trade. The Steel Corporation has always worked in the open and has courted publicity greatly to it's own advantage. 1t has done everything that it possib- ly could to keep its shareholders and the public informed regarding its op- erations, and it has been generous to it's hundreds of thousands of em- ployees. Dividends have been sacri- feed while wages have been main tained and its welfare work has at tracted worldwide attention. Had the corporation been dissolved by order of the Court the shareholders would have suffered serious losses through the disruption of it's organization at a critical time. The corporation has striven to do right in every way, and our industrial enterprises would have been hurt had the Court found grounds for punishing the largest of them for doing its best

There are just two kinds Of men
who oppose woman suffrage" said
Mrs. Mary Realty CIagett yesterday.
First, there are the machine bosses
like Nugent They are stubborn in
their opposition. All we can do with
them is to fight them. Then there are
the sentimentalists, the men who OPP
pose votes for women just because IL
is part of their scheme of things that
all women should be protected, shield
ed and supported by some member OF
the sterner sex. You can't help but
like these men even il you don't agree
with them. As soon as you can show
them that it is impossible under the
present economic conditions for all
women to be protected, shielded and shell
tered they see that they are wrong.
and they'll admit II as soon as they
have the courage of their convictions.
But II is a fact" Mrs. Clagett
went on to explain, that most men
are not SO courageous when il comes
to facing scorn and ridicule as women
are. Even when they realize that
woman suffrage is right they won't
admit it till they see that other men
port and encouragement Women. for
some reason. when they realize the
rightness of woman's suffrage don't
hesitate so long in admitting IL.
Five years ago when / marched In
the first suffrage parade in New York
men and women jeered us on the line
of march. At the time of the parade
here in Washington on the eye of
Wilson's Inauguration we met the
same kind of treatment. A year ago
at the time of the New York parade
there was some jeering. but this year
all that has gone. The subject of
woman suffrage is no longer some
thing to jeer and laugh about From

endless monotony OF the displays Of these

course nowadays almost all Of US can az

So cheap they are that they are no long

Onions have more possibilities. perhaps.
than any of the others, for onions are
one OF the best Of favoring agents. And
the number Of times q week onions can
be successfully used depends almost
wholly on the ingenuity Of the cook.
For havoring salads. either rub the

half an onion or else place q tiny piece
Of onion under q little piece of bread.
In this way the flavor OF the onion per
meates the whole dish and yet the salad
does not come into direct contact with It.
Onion Juice. or grated onion. can be
used In fiavoring soups and stews when a
strong flavor OF onion Is not desired.
And II only q slight flavor Is liked, par
boil the onion before adding II TO the

When raw onions are served. soak them
