Third New Jersey district, is an ar
dent advocate of woman suffrage.
which he believes will bring about
needed reforms which the men voters
have not succeeded in putting into eff
feet. His open stand on the question
is shown in the following statement:
"One of the greatest Endorsements of
suffrage for women came the other
day when the United States commits
sion on industrial relations stated in
their report to the government one of
the vital remedies for the widespread
conditions of unrest throughout the
country lay in giving equal po-
litical rights. the right to vote. Their
findings We're based on the realization
that the finer. cleaner idealized aims
of the progressive of the nation
would purge the United States of many
existing evil conditions.
More than eve the conviction is
coming home to all of us that civiliza-
ton has not necessarily put the keys
of the world into mems hands alone.
THE usual foolish arguments against
suffrage from those who refuse to open
their minds and ears to its merits re-
minds me of the story of the cockney
l~Ongshoremen. One was telling the
other how he had argued down his
wife when she had. coming from a

vince him of the justice of the cause.

COLORADO'S WOMAN
SENATOR IN JERSEY
RGfuteS Statements of Anti
suffrage Press Agents.

Senator Helen Ring Robinson of Col
made against Colorado by ]. B. Nal
ing, Edward j. Handley and Barrett
l.. Crandall, who are employed by the
anti-suffragists, when interviewed on
her arrival in the east. Mrs. Robinson
has come east to appear in court
against suffrage opponents whom she
is suing for S 5000 for libel and to take
part in the eastern equal suffrage cam
paigns in answering attacks upon her
state.
Suffrage in Colorado" she said, has
meant better health inspection in the
public schools. better chance for saw
ing the lives of babies, lower tax rates.
fairer property laws, more safety for
the protection of girls, greater freedom
from typhoid fever, more humane laws
in our state.
GAS for Industrial disadvantages in
Colorado, | mus say in justice to my
state that. terrible as the Colorado
strike was. there have beer more men
killed in Industrial disputes in New
Jersey since the Colorado strike began
than were killed in our state"
Reviewing the Ludlow strike, Sena
tor Robinson credited two women with
bringing the strike to a close and de-
clared that two wonderful laws have
come as an outcome of the strike
through the energy of women.
"One," says the senator, sis the
workmen's compensation law, which
makes the industry liable for death or
accident to an employee during the
performance of his duties. The other
is an arbitration law. which forbids
the calling of a strike without first
giving a months notice to an arbitra-
ton commission
Senator Robinson said with a smile
that of curse there were failures and
many imperfect conditions in her state,
but that most of the things said by
the opposition were deliberately mis-

STOP RECKLESS DRIVING.

Maryland's automobile operators
are prohibited from taking a single
drink while at the wheel of a car.
Commissioner Roe, whose depart
ment has this matter in hand, says:
81 have decided to put an end to
reckless driving, and especially to
reckless driving s~uperinduced by
strong drink, if 1t is possible for me
to do SO.
ITO accomplish my purpose, it will
be necessary for me to refuse to dis
tinguish between people who drink
little and those who drink much. l
shall, therefore, in the future revoke
the license of every automobile driver
who is brought before me if it can
be shown that the accused has been
drinking while operating his car
"This, in my judgment, is the only
safe rule to follow. 1 do not wish
to pose as an authority on drink or
what constitutes drunkenness. | see
no ray of hope in so-called sobriety
tests.
Therefore, I must conclude that a
chauffeur or car owner who has taken
one drink is as guilty as the motor
operator who technically is consid-
cred full. I am vested with full au-
thority by law to forfeit licenses for
such %offenses, and 7 certainly SHALL"

LAST WORD ON CONSERVATION.

The necessity for conserving our Ia
tional resources has been occupying
the attention of our legislators, ma
tional and state. Laws have been en-
acted to protect our forests and our
water supply. Millions of dollars have
been spent in controlling contagious
diseases among our domestic animals,
and to eliminate the boil weevil from
the southern cotton fields and the vari-
GUS blights from our fruit orchards.
What greater national resource has
u country than u boys and girls,
and why should not the government
protect them from the blight caused
by the use Of intoxicating liquors?-

beer in the United States has de-
