ENGRAVING FOR THE VOTE.

The suggestion made by Mrs Harriet Stanton Batch,
ex-presdent of the Womens Political union that discon
tented New York sufragists emgrate to Kansas
or Colorado other state where allowed
to vote has given great satisfaction to the antsuragsts
and some concern to the sufragists who, unlike Mrs
Batch believe that get the vote sooner by
cenrang their efforts state governments rather than
on the federal government Mrs Batch argues that i'll
eastern readers add the weight of their experience to
campaigns in western suffrage states they will convince
representatives in congress from these states that it is
their duty to berate the of the benighed east
The antsuragists heartily approve of this plan, for
they faceously say then the OF the east who do
not wish to vote could stay at home and live in peace.
On top of the announcement comes another from the
New York state headquarters OF the faction which favoIs
state campaigns in which the suragsts declare that they
have already begun campaign for votes in the election
of 1916 that will exceed in intensity and daring anything
of the kind undertaken The gap between the two fac
tons thus becomes wider If Mrs Blatch really heads
delegation of emgrants to Kansas the gap will be further
Wdened She will expose herself and her followers to the
kind of ridcue which hurts just than the
most trenchant speeches against it. The remarks atrb
uted to antsurage leaders in New York are typical of
the Rind of comment which may be expected Persons
really interested in suffrage WILL Of course pay
little attention to this sort of talk but the elections in
New Jersey, New York Pennsylvania and Massachusetts
clearly show, the popularity of suffrage not
tensive enough to be strained with impunity.
Supporters of the Batch plan seek analogy between
this movement and the departure of the Pilgrims from
England in successful effort to establish the right of
lgious freedom If the of New York had exhaust
ed every device for obtaining the vote at home the
aogy might hold but until they do this it will better
as an argument against their project than for it.

THE ARMY PLAN.

The house committee military affairs has agreed
plan for the increase of the army and the reorgani
cation of system of land defenses It is based the
idea that the national guard be effectively and
pletey federazed AS far is known this to be
accomplished largelyf not solelyby prescribing quail
fcations for officers who will still be appointed by the
governors and by appropriation There are as far as
we know military experts who believe that the guard
cam by action of congress, be taken from the control of
the states in time of peace brought in time of
wholly under the jurisdiction of the United States
Neither of these things has been DONE We do not
believe they be done AS far therefore, as the
national guard concerned it does not look though
should have real national army
Fortunately another reserve is provided for namely
OF regular soldiers who have been discharged the exp
alton OF their term of enlistment Here will be real
serve The regular army to be increased by ten reg
ments of infantry, four of field artillery fty-two
panes of coast artillery fifteen companies of engineers
and four squadrons Further it is to be arranged so
that the regular army may, III time of war; be easily and
quickly expanded to force of 275,O00 men,
1t is not necessary to discuss the details of the pan
since the bill embodying it is yet to be drafted The
ate too, will have something TO say the subject The
country will hope for the best There viii be some ex-
ceent features in the house plan foreshadowed
Under It we shall have larger regular army than
now have, and one dependable reserve. And that is
good deal But shall all be interested to learn how it
y proposed o fedeaze the national guard and whether
congress indeed strip the states Of practically all
thorty over their soldiers Unless this be done,
the national guard part Of the proposed will not
be Of much value

tarests of my tenants and myself feel
called upon to make few statements
cbncerning Mr., Parker's account Of his
recent most unflattering intrusion on

OF the affair recently appearing in the
morning paper that my family and !
make our home in the 'afore mentioned
a artment building it being exclusively

barred from the comforts of a civilized

excellent reason that an injured spine
prohibits the luxury Of sleeping like
al ordinary mortal ON an ordinary bed.
Hence the appalling spectacle present
ed to his unexpected visitors Mortified

lite.
Mr.. Parkers account would give the
people OF Boise to understand that the
men occupying this building were tran
sients of an extremely low order, Moth,

These men rent their apartments by

each winter to the apartments pre-
viously occupied BIZ them; as 10 also

were the most costly and were per-

smoke of incense.
For occupation She smoked cigar
cites. drank numerous tiny cups of
black coffee and gossiped with the
neighbor women. who. not so strictly
guarded as she, were able to visit their
friends occasionally.
. These women were AIiterate. OF the
world outside their little circle of ac-
quaintance they knew nothing They
talked of the things of bfrth, of mar
