social climber is a mysterious and
ubiquitous nuisance. There is moth
ing that he or she will not use in
climbing if it offers a toehold. But
we are unable to see what bearing
the presence of this pest has on the
principles of the suffrage cause. The
climber has not been above making
capital out of the Belgian relief
work, but we have never heard any
one argue that the Belg .ans should
be allowed to starve on that account.
Women's suffrage could not hope
to escape misrepresentation. It is
therefore all the more the business
of level-headcd, rational men and
women to set forth and battle for it
on the ground of plain justice. And
it is a fight which will be won. There
is no stopping it and there is no
profit in attempting to stop it.

The wheat grower. the meat pro-

In an address before tho Trowcl Club.

WORKS AND THE GUN

The bombardment of the fortifi-
cations at the entrance to the Darda-
nelles by the British battleship
Queen Elizabeth, with the new 15-
inch guns that the latest naval mon-
sters carry, is in reality just one
more Namur, a new Liege, a naval
Maubeuge. Whether the monster gun
is mounted on cement platform
or on the deck of battleship built
to carry it and stand the strain of
it's discharge, it is all the same; for
tifications as the best Of them have
been built will not stand it's attack
when once the range is accurately
determined.
At Liege were Notifications that
represented the best Belgian engi-
neering could produce. At Mau-
beuge the French had their test. In
both cases the huge German guns
did the business. Now the test is
reversed; German engineers built
the great Notifications of the Dar-
danelles, and British gunmakers
turned out the 15-inch guns that are
hammering them to pieces. Appar-
emily the case is completed: the best
fortifications will not stand the at
tacks of the greatest ordnance,
whether the forts be attacked from
land or from water.
1t is reasonable to presume that
if the Japanese had possessed, dur
ing their war with Russia, such ord
nance with which to assail Port Ar
thur, that war might have been fin
ished in half the time it required.
Even with guns far inferior to those
that represent the greatest achieve
ments of either the Germans or the
British, they won their way past
Notifications that had been built in
something like assurance of their
impregnability.
At least, the experience of the
early stages of the present war is
accentuated by that of the Darda-
nelles. The question becomes more
than ever pointed, whether fortifca-
tions as now built are worth the
building. The war is not over, and
the verdict that now seems pretty
we'll decided may be changed. But
at least it is palmer than ever be-
fore in this world, that the real de-
Tense is the army in the open
country.

srbsist. determining the proportion
Of expense to be borne by local and
that by Federal interests, and how
his shall be fixed. .
On the whole the determination is
, highly desirable one. Congress is
in sad need of light on the facts at
he bottom of this controversy, and
SO are the people of Washington.
Perhaps the present arrangement
will survive; but whether il does or
not, it may be expected with conf
dence that some definite understand
ing will come from such commits
sion's work and its later considera-
ton by Congress.
Understanding and restoration of
possible working conditions are
acutely needed. The District has for
long time suffered by reason of the
near-deadlock in legislation regard
ing this city, which has made it i'm
possible for an intelligent policy to
be pursued. All sides are disgusted,
and any proceeding that will end the
present conditions, without a gross
violation of the equities, will be well
come. 1t may be expected with all
confidence that there will be no great
injustice. in any plan that comes
from such an inquiry and gets
adopted by Congress.

WHERE is WHEAT
TO BE RAISED !?

The countries now actually at
war have been producing 40
per cent of the worlds
wheat. Despite extraordinary
efforts, it will be utterly i'm
possible for them, during the
war and for a considerable
period thereafter, to produce
anything like their normal
amount.
Europe, normally both the
greatest producer and the
greatest importer Of wheat,
will have to become a great
er importer than ever during
the war. If all the countries
now at war produce two-thirds
as much as their normal they
will yet leave a deficit Of
about 7OO,OOO,OOO b,yhels a
year in Europe's supply,
whereas the normal deficit
has been only 244,OOO,OOO
Whence must come this vast
quantity, equal to just
about the normal production
of the United States?

AMERICA HER FRIEND
The essence of pathos, of eloquent
appeal, is contained in Mrs. Richard
SteRler's letter to President Wilson:

The essence of pathos, of eloquent
appeal, is contained in Mrs. Richard
Stegler's letter to President Wilson:
My husbands friends were German.
a nd they all have turned against him.
am stranger here. and have no
friends. The only thing l could think
of was to appeal to you.
There is not an American heart
that will not be quickened by reading
Mrs. Stegler's letter. She is not
without friends-all America is her
friend, and to whom else should she
make her appeal except the head of
the nation? Whether her husband
be innocent or guilty of attempting
to use fraudulently an American
passport as German spy; whether
his accusation against an attache of
the German embassy here ever be
established, there is no doubt that
Mrs. Stegler has given the country
a lesson in the duty of citizenship
that is worthy of classic setting.
Stegler had applied for citizenship
papers, and according to his story
engaged to serve the Fatherland as
spy in England, violating his vow
to the new Fatherland thereby. His
wife, an American woman, pleaded
with him and finally persuaded him
to follow the honorable course, no
matter what the consequences might
be, preserving at the same time the
honor of her native and his adopted
country. All honor to Mrs. Stegler.
America may we'll be proud of her.

GIVE WOMEN THE VOTE!

Since women have been forced by
the blunders of our civilization into
ee open warfare of the world, is it
light to refuse them the protection
of the ballot?
Serious, hard-working women are
asking that there be given to them
the means of defending themselves.
They want the weapon which men
use when there is an attack on their
rights and liberties. And they will
get it.
The time for Victorian whin-
ing that "Woman's place is the
home" is past, although there is still
a remarkable type of man and an
even more remarkable type of
woman who is willing to abandon the
home and 60 around the country
making speeches to prove it. Mans
place is at work, when you come to
that, but there were million men in
this part Of the country this winter
who were out of jobs and there
seemed to be no way to get them
back.
The small-voiced opponents of
women's suffrage who babble that
the act of voting will bring destruc-
ton on the homes and host of other
evils do not Know the times in
which they live. Hundreds of thou
sands of women in this country are
not building homes for the same rea-
son that hundreds of thousands of
men are not building landscape gar
dens-they cannot afford it.
Do you imagine that the thousands
of women who are working eight and
ten hours a day in every great city
left comfortable homes and loving
husbands and rushed with cheers of
triumph into the sweatshops to make
$3.50 week?
Do you think that your stenogra-
phcr or the girl who sells you your
rcckties is lying awake nights to
'hwart the effort of persons who
are trying to make her the head of
home?
This is the kind of woman who
needs the ballot more than all 9TH
ers. Her place is the home, but it is
only by leaving the home in the early
morning and working hard all day
that she can keep the home in it's
place.
No one knows any better than the
right-minded women who are fight
ing for the ballot that woman's duty
and her greatest glory is to be the
child-bearer of the race. Nothing is
AS sacred to a woman as that strong
purpose of her being. 1t is an in
stinct which goes back to the far-off
sources of life.
Give woman the weapons and she
will fight desperately anything and
everything that seeks to come be-
tween her and her greatest privilege.
You may run across the man who
will argue that thousands of women
"do not care to vote" AS we un-
derstand, there is no idea of making
he ballot compulsory. Any woman
who elects to stay away from the
nolls will be left undisturbed. This
tioes not change that fact that there
re many hundreds of thousands of
women who do "care to vote" and we
Lave never seen a good reason for
-efusing them the right.
You will also meet the man who
will tell you that many of the "lead-
ers" Of the suffrage movement are
"ot sincere-that they are notoriety
,eekers, social climbers, and the like
This is, unfortunately, true. The
