Roy Ray.-As the producer is the
one most vitally concerned he is the
man upon whose shoulders devolve
the burden of solving the problem of
eliminating the useless factors in the
distribution of farm crops. Upon him
should fall the duty of devising plan
which will stop the costly waste of
transporting crops to the big cities
only to be shipped back to the point
where grown perhaps. thus adding to
the cost of living without benefiting
him in the least. A systematic meth
cd of marketing all the produce grown
within a district direct would no doubt
reduce the waste of the present sys-
TEN to a minimum. Whether the
farming industry can raise up man
capable of leading his class out of
the wilderness remains to be seen.
but even those who profit by the
negligence of the producer in this re-
spect is surprised that something was
not done long ago. Not until the
farmer ceases his efforts to regulate
the other industries of the country
and devotes his attention to the con
troll of his own products and the
proper and economical distribution
of them to the ultimate consumer will
we see any material progress made
along this line.

WITH THE THINKERS

James Pearson.-The wealthy re-
tired farmer could be of much good
if he would stay right on his ranch,
building a second house for the ten
plying some of the implements and
money in the deal. Not one farmer
in a dozen is really satisfied in town
after he moves there. and not one
town in two dozen feels any direct
benefit from the citizenship of the re-
tired farmer. His place is on the
farm helping to boost the old ranch
in the hands of the new man who may
be his own boy, or at least somebody's
boy.

vent Of high explosives. wireless tele-
graphs and long range artillery, these
visions would be crowded out of the
modern battlefield, but this is not so.
There is the now famous story of the
rider on the white horse at Mons, who is
believed to have caused the Germans to
retire in the middle of their victorious
career. '''
The English soldiers who saw this ap-
partition say it was St. George. The
French soldiers have identified it as st.
Michael, although some are inclined to
believe it was Joan of Arc The Dean
Of Durham has protested against the cir
culation of this story, and a well known
novelist claims to have invented it out
Of his own head year ago But it is
too late for the dean or anybody else to
protest that the narrative Is not suffi-
ciently authenticated The public will
have the apparition.
Skobeleff used to wear in the Russo
Turkish war white uniform and ride q
white horse. so that hiy soldiers who
wcrshiped him used to call him the
white general" 1t Is not a method of
generalship which would last many
minutes on Q modern battlefield, but 1t
created in the soldiers the legend Of
Skobeleff's invulnerability. Skobeleff
was an ardent partisan of the Pan Slavist
agitation, and among his last writings
before his mysterious death in 1891.
we're articles prophesying war between
the Teuton and the Slav.
The Washington herald., 1915-12-05

- UPERNATURAL appearances have
marked the narratives of almost
L all wars. 1t is. quite as often as
not that the appearance of appari-
tions has altered the course Of battles.
and in the history Of every country war
myths abound.
: Messages from Pstrograd during the
European war have told frequently Of the
famous ghost Of General Skobeleff in
white uniform, riding q white horse, hav-
ing been seen. This appearance, accord
ing to tradition, always marks critical
moment for the armies of the car, and
invariably causes panic in the enemy's
ranks. ~.
1t has been pointed out that because
of the respect In which the war appari-
tions are held, armies might suspect the
Justice Of their cause IL 1t were not guar
anteed by manifestation Of some sort.
A famous apparition is that of the
Flaming Cross which appeared in the
skies at noon above the army OF Con-
stantiDe; at the battle Of the Milvian
bridge ne1r Rome in 312. The cross bore
the famous words, "In Hoe Signo
Vintes.' and Constantine is said to have
been so affected by the portent that he
had the cross inscribed on the shields Of
his soldiers and became Christian. His
victory over his rival, made him Roman
emperor and confirmed him in the belief
In the apparition. sE.f
1t has been supposed that with the ID

mans should have shown leniency be-
cause the SPY was a woman. the women
in America in large part nave done the
unexpected and maintain that Sex. not
even in Q case Of this sort. should make,
any difference.
The reactionairies among women have
always professed to believe thnt the frail
flower OF feminity and the sturdy stalk
of manhood would wither under the wind
of equalfty-that is the vote. Now they
point to the attitude Of men and women
in America on the Cavell case to prove
the claim.
The Cavell case has added new fuel to
the flames that have 50 long been raging
about feminism. While there Is one case
Of a woman executed for crime. 1t y
pointed out BY psychologistss there are

the matter. Men get red in the face, she
continues, II anyone suggests a change
and they don't stop to think it out She
feels that the attitude of men toward
women is entirely q matter of custom
and training and not of inheritance. She
points out that an Indian woman carries
the pack and that there is no inherent
tendency in man that makes this sight
horrifying to him. yet 1t would horrify
him to see a white woman so burdened.
Mrs. Charles G. Stevenson, who was q
war nurse herself during the Spanish
American war, holds nearly the same
opinion. She says that il is true that
men who might deny women simple
rights would have excused Edith Cavell
oRthe ground that she was a woman al
though she thinks that IL men are more
aroused In this case than women they
have right to be because they owe .
great deal to nurses.
Gertrude Atherton. famous novelist,
says this attitude of men is the whole
point at issue in the suffrage question.
Men like to pity and protect women,
she says. Il doubt IL this tendency will
ever be extracted from them for there
are so many women to foster it. Edith
Cavell knew war, she knew what she was
about, she knew the Germans.
Il can't see why we should pity Edith
Cavell. She was in tremendous luck for
herself and her country. She might just
have been struck by shrapnel and
never heard Of again. But it is Q great
honor to be shot. .-s ~
'"The execution of Edith Cavell has, Of
course. done Germany more harm than
all her other blunders. 1t is true that
We have executed women in this country.
But they are criminals and people make
an outcry only because 1t is 30 unusual.
Just as they stare and turn II man
walks down the street without his hat"
The legnl sentiment is most naturally
reflected in the, opinion Of Mrs. Olive
Scott Gabriel. president of the Women
Lawyers Association. In Oregon. her
native state. she, voted against capital
punishment because she does not believe
In It" She thinks 1t Is absurd that wom-
en- are mot, given q voice in making the
laws which govern them. but that at the.
SAME time women should be law-abidipg.
'If Miss Cavell had been an ignorant
woman. q tool. 1t would have been DIFF
fereuti" she says. But she knew what
she, ,faa ,doing. Beigium was under mill
1ary sfuyA sn6 she knew what chances.

The Washington herald., 1915-12-05

IF we had separate laws for men
and women We would soon have anarchy.
Miss Cavell confessed what she had done
and asked no leuiency. 1t is shocking,
but the death Of a man is shocking.
The young man who was executed
not so long go and asked mis- execution
ers to shake hands with him had his
life before him. This was quite as sad
and impressive a death as that Of Edith
Cavell En had done the noblest thing
he had been trained to do.
IF : are going to have war and spies
then logically spies should be honored
and executed. But I believe in enforcing
laws IN any community. That's why i
am ssrong for woman's suffrage. because
all the peoples sentiment is back Of
laws and they are then enforced and not
allowed to become dead letters.
Men sentimentalize about women be-
ing put to death but that is all theoretic-
al Practically they don't stay their
