ARE THEY INCOMPETENT.

Have you ever thought why your
mother, wife, sister and daughter are
not allowed to vote?
The only reason for not enfranchis.
ing any class of people in democracy
is because they are mentally or moral.
ly incompetent to vote.
The reason why women are not en-.
tranchised is because, when our Con
vtitution was made a hundred and
twenty-five years ago, women were
considered mentally incompetent to
vote.
One hundred and twenty-five years
ago, girls were not admitted to the
public grammar schools; women were
aot admitted to the colleges; women
we're not admitted to many Of the
trades and professions; married
women could not own property; and
married women did not own their own
| children.
During the past hundred and TWEEN
ty-fve years the Status of Women has
completely changed

forty thousand women are. in our col.
leges; six million women are working
| In the trades and professions; mar
ried women can own property; and
IN thirteen states, married women are
equal guardians Of their children, with
the father.
The mental competence of women
is now recognized in all phases Of
social responsibility except that o.
the franchise.
The time has come to change the
political status Of women and to make
It accord with the facts.

How long will our country tolerate
the low political position Of 1T
women now that other states ant
countries are raising them to the DIG

IF you would know the political
and moiial status of people de-
mand what place it's women oc-

A HUSBANDS CONFESSION
Yesterday Mirandy voted,
But SO far i haven't noted
That she's sprouted any whiskers or


That she's sprouted any whiskers or
adopted trouserettes;
And she hasn't indicated
Since she got emancipated
That she means to start out raiding
with bunch of suffragettes.
Took her half an hour to do 1t,
An as soon as she was through 1t,
She went hustling home without a
stop to scrub the pantry floor;
Cooked the dinner, did some baking,
Trimmed dress that she was MAX
ing,
Mended socks and got the ironing all
done by half past four.
She appears to be as able
To keep victuals on the table
And to keep the moths from feeding
on my go-to-meeting coat
Just as handy with the baby
(Or little more so, maybe)-
As she was before they told her wo-
men ought to have the vote.
Far as Ihave observed Mirandy.
She Is just as fond Of candy
And as keen to read the fashions and
the daily household hints
AS before she was my equal"
And-however strange the sequel
rye been just trifle prouder, of
Mirandy ever since!

In connection with the Washington

The Baltimore and Ohio officials
are preparing to ask the cooperation
of cities in keeping the right-of way
along their lines inside city mts Tree
from refuse. It is said that the re-,
quest of the railroad company vii.
be fo- the city to pay as much atten-
lion to the streets along the railroad
tracks as it does to the center part
of the city, owing to the fact that ali
cities are Judged by the travelling pub
lie as they see it from the trains. In
nearly ever city in the country the
entrance along the railroad tracks is
an unsightly place owing to old build
irss. and refuse dumps, streets that
are seldom cleaned, etc. The first
impression of person on entering a
city is often permenent and the rail
roads should have the cooperation
of the city in doing something which
will benefit the latter even more
than the railroad.

In the circuit court at Cumberland,
the jury returned verdict for $o,0OO
damages for Walter Crowl against The
mayor and city council OF Hagerstown.
The child, aged ten years, is a son OF
Harry Crowl, formerly of Shepherds
town. Last year while walking along
Jonathan street in Hagerstown, where
a building was in course of construc-
ton, some mortar fell into his face
and caused him to lose the sight of
one eye, the eye being afterward
taken out Suit was brought against
Mr.. Kline, the owner of the building,
and verdict for one cent damages
was rendered. Then the city was
sued, the claim being made that the
building was not blocked off, as it
should have been. The amount of
damages claimed was $4,000, and the
trial was transferred to Cumberland.
The case was strongly contested.
After celebrating for an hour and
a-half verdict for $1,000 was returned.

HOLY FLAG OF MoHAMMEDANs
Unfurllng Of sacred Banner" May
Have Dire Effect Upon the Ma
lions of the World.

In the inmost precincts Of the old
seraglio at Stamboul (Constantinople)
the flag Of the prophet is kept in
safety. Only on proclamation Of q
holy war Is It unfurled to the eyes Of
reverential multitude of believers,
though without being removed. It's
star is closely set with golden nails
and covered with green velvet. The
nag Of green silk Is richly embroidered
in gold with mystic scrolls and texts
from the Koran. According to tradi-
ton the silk material originally served
as curtain to the tent OF Ajsha, Mo-
hammed's favorite wife. Thence 1t
was treasured by the Ommajades In
Bagdad, and brought to Cairo by the
Abassides.
! In the year 1917. when Sultan Sc
lin conquered Egypt, he transferred
It to Damascus, where the throngs Of
pious pilgrims on their way to the sa-
cred shrine could do it homage. Mu-
rad III, invading Hungary, carried 1t
in the midst Of his army to inspire
courage. The mosque OF the seraglio
became its depository In 1895, In
charge Of Sheik III Isam, the religious
head Of Mohammedanism.
It was last unrolled in 1926, when
Sultan Mahmud planned the destruc.
ton. Of the Janissaries. Neither the
Russo Turkish nor the Balkan wars
at recent years gave cause SUFFICIENT to
the Moslem church elders to assume
the responsibility Of proclaiming q
holy war" Its unfurling arouses the
fanaticism Of all believers to frenzy,
Every MosIem then must fight eight
q outrance.

NEW YORK, Feb. 18.-11 a. M
Fifty German submarines at most,
begin today the impossible task OF
trying to blockade the coast line or
the British Isles, which measures
about 1000 miles. This gives maxi
mum Of one submarine for every forty
miles Of water, but even then only
for a very brief time, since under-sea
boats must return to their bases fire.
uuently for new fuel or more torpe-
does There is no evidence that any
country has succeeded in establishing
supply bases for submarines on the
ocean. As far as known no navy has
submarines capable of being opened
with safety below the surface. Other
wise submarine crews could rescue
themselves by bobbing to the surface
in case of accident. Germany's sub
marines cannot keep the seas for a
considerable period unless they re-
main inactive and their offensive pow
er thus lessened by their necessarily
frequent return home.
II, therefore. Germany has as many
as fifty submarines ready for action
in the new war zone, this number
must be cut in half as far as continu-
Gus activity is concerned. One half
will be refitting at CuXhaven, or an
other base, while the second half OF
the fotilla is making war on merchant
men Instead Of submarine to each
forty miles of British coastal waters,

What the War Moves Mean
By J. w. T. Mason, Former European Man
ager Of the United Press.

the proportion is reduced In reality to
one in eighty miles-and this upon
tho most favorable estimate Of Ger
many's under sea strength.
Eighty miles is about the distance
from New York to Atlantic City. A
single submarine could not maintain
a blockade of the Jersey coast be-
tween those points. Ten submarines
might attempt it with some theoreti-
cal prospect of success. On this basis
Germany in theory might hope to
blockade the British Isles if she pos
secsed 500 instead of a possible fifty
submarines
But, this is only theoretically true,
for the more submarines there are,
the easier becomes defense against
them. The most effective part of a
submarines offensive is the element
of concealment and surprise. Long
before the number Of blockading sub
marines reached 500. their where
abouts would be accurately known to
the defending nation and many OF
them would be destroyed. Experience
has not yet demonstrated the maxi
mum strength OF a submarine fiotilla
that can operate in a given area with
out endaneering its own conc2alment:
but the number is strictly limited and
this fact coupled with the extreme
vulnerability of submarines, makes IT
impossible that. the present type OF
under sea boat will ever be able to
maintain an effective blockade.
