sufirage Loses in New Jersey.

An adverse majority Of $4,000 is New Jer-
seys answer to President Wilson's announce
ment OF his conversion to suffrage and intention
TO cast his ballot for the state constitution that
vas to clothe woman with the vote To be sure,
the president qualified his announcement with
the statement that he was speaking as a private
citizen, and not president Of the United
States. BY his own suggestion II would have
been highly improper for him to exert his Of
flcal capacity to influence his fellow citizens in
their vote a purely state matter, but no
doubt can be held as to the purpose OF his public
statement. II was to put behind the suffrage
fight whatever OF personal influence the presl-
dent carries in his home state. II SO, the con-
clusion Is inevitable that the action OF the voters

state has MIR. Wilson more bitterly disappointed
his party than In New Jersey. The public will
now wonder IL the vote taken there on Tuesday
is significant of the difference in his standing
throughout the country today as compared with
three years ago, when he was chosen to be chief
magistrate.

THE HAUNTED PORCH

Washington Star
The rocking chairs keep rocking
As the breeze comes wandering by,
Though empty is the summertime hotel.
The little birds are flocking
From the chilly autumn sky
Quite undisturbed around the porch TO

And an influence all ghostly
Seems to gather round the pot
As. you recollect the gossip and the game
That were mild and harmless, mostly.
They are faded and forgot,
But the rocking chairs keep rocking, Just
the same.
There's a trace of youthful signing
In the tremor Of the breeze
As Il hovers, now unwelcomed, through
the place.
There are voices harsh and trying;
There are murmurs Ill at ease,
Though of human presence there Is not q
trace.
with the flowers they have vanished,
With the flowers they'll return,
Those summer throngs that met with
glad acclaim.
The music has been banlshed,
And the lights no longer burn,
But the rocking chairs keep rocking. Just

maintain quite an army and an army
disciplined and ready for service. These
troops would be under pay by the United
