he hadn't. 1t was his luck that he was
going to. Freddie had seen more fires,
more runaways, more horrible accidents
than any young man in New York. He
had found more things worth finding, and
been irresponsibly responsible for more
good and evil turns than anybody.
The police knew him we'll And al
though he was often mixed up in repre-
hensible matters, they were careful not
to arrest him, because he was often so
useful to them, and they knew that at
heart he was good natured and not re-
sponsible for the occasional harm that
he did.
Freddie's repute with the police began
when he was quite a small boy. Sergeant
Rafferty,, tall and very serious looking,
encountered him one day and said:
Say. Bub, have you seen a man round
here with one nostril bigger than the
other and bit Of his ear mssing?'

and Freddie's reputation was established

Sometimes he was sent upon definite
missions. and carried them through to
perfection.
Flannerman's barroom was Freddie's
headquarters. Sometimes the habitues
amused themselves by getting him drunk,
but not often, for they were poor men,
and even a mild jag costs money. One
day the proprietor tapped Freddie on the
shoulder and told him that he was wanted
on the phone.
Yes, this is Freddie. all right"

THE WAR AND SUFFRAGE

II S it not more than possible
that the new democracy
which it is supposed will
spring from the ruins of the
warning nations in Europe may
carry with it equal rights to
women?
The label "superfluous" ap-
piled in the past by statisticans
to women not born independ-
ent, or unmarried, will no long
er hold. Far from being super
Ifluous, they are proving them
selves of the most vital import
ance. Wherever a man has
been called to the front a wom-
an has stepped into Hs former
place, till today a large part of
the commercial business of
England, France and Germany
is being operated by women.
This, too, is not restricted to
clerical work, as she is show
ing her efficiency in manual
labor as well. She is working
side by side with the men in
the factories and at the same
wage.
Hitherto the "superfluous"
woman has been rather a pa
thetic figure in the world. To
her brother workers she was
something of a nuisance in
tending to a reduction of his
wages.
Today all this has changed.
While the men were away
fighting woman has won a
bloodless victory. She is in
every sense of the word mans
equal and will remain so.
When the war is over, with
the many men killed and the
many more manned, compe-
tition in labor between the sex
es will cease. The problem
will be to find sufficient peo-
pie to perform the necessary
work, and it is to women the
states will have to turn. With
affectionate solicitude she will
be impOrtuned to aid in allevi-
ating the situation, and her
equality will be a fact as CO.
worker. When this happens
supplication will be a thing of
the past. Women need not ask

enormous figures give some idea Of
the tremendous rate at which our for
eign trade is expanding, in their
showing that the nine months trade
OF the present calenCar year leaves
us with a trade balance nearly 25
per cent greater than the twelve
months of the fiscal year which end
ed June 80.

OF the total exports for the nine
months of the fiscal year, aggregat-
ing $2,5S2.4S5,167, one-sixth is repre-
sented by crude materials for use in
manufacturing while nearly one third
is represented by exports Of food
stuffs and food animals. Actual war
munitions were considerably less than
cne-sixth of the total amount
Unquestionably a very large pro-
portion of this foreign trade is due
to the cessation of productive activity
in England. France, italy, Russia ana
other countries seriously affected by
war conditions The end of the war
will naturally bring cessation to the
demand for ammunitlons and steel
products, but the process of rehabil-
itation will unquestionably demand
continued large shipments of food
and clothing products
1t is interesting TO note in this con-
nection that imports are showing a
tendency to increase, although not
yet to an extent to give assurance
that there will be any substantial
growth in national customs revenues.
This fact itself, however, lends even
greater stress to the marvellous
growth of our balance of trade, which
has long since placed us in the fore
front of the commercial nations Of
the world

In the so-called Progressive states,

Cummings is suggested.
Senator Cummings appears to be

REPUBLICANS FAVOR ROOT
Canvass Conducted by New York
Newspaper Shows Former Sen
: ator Popular for President.

Washington, July 20.-Elihu Root
apparently is the first choice of lead
ing republicans of the country for the
nomination for President in 1916.
Senator John w. Weeks of Massa-
chusetts, and former Senator Theo-
dore Burton of Ohio have country
wide support, and next to Senator
Root are highest in favor with Re-
publican politicians.
1t is evident from a canvass con-
Quoted by the Washington bureau of
a New York newspaper that if the Re-
publican convention were held today
and the State of New York presented
Mr.. Roots name with his consent, he
would be nominated.
With Mr.. Root out of consideration
the choice will appear to be between
Senator Weeks and former Senator
Burton. With more than 500 letters
sent out by the paper to exchanges
and friends throughout the country
have brought responses which lead in
evitably to the foregoing conclusion.
The object of the inquiries was to
get information regarding local con-
ditions in the various states upon
WHICH a fair estimate could be made
of the political sentiment of the coun-
try. 4fM.. 49,.
= 1t is significant that the opinion of
most of those who replied to these in
quiries was that neither Taft nor
Roosevelt is likely to be nominated.
Most of the writer's said that the
Progressive movement is dead; that
the Republicans and former Repub-
licans are getting together and that
they are anxious to have a President
who is straight out Republican and
one who can be expected to restore
prosperity.
The tendency is Enthusiastically in
favor of the conservative.
In the Progressive states of the Far
West and in some of the Middle West
ern states, like Iowa, Minnesota, Ne
braska and Wisconsin, most of the re-
sponses suggested that some one
should be nominated who will be &C
ceptable to the Progressives. A prom
