Suffrage AgaIn

woMLAN,s sUEFRAGn by CONSTITUTIONAL.
Yale University Press. New Haven.
Mr., fuckers contribution to the rapldly
growing library OF books on woman SUI
frage Is unique. On the very first page
OF his book he processes neutrality ana
declares his intention OF discussing the
right OF women to suffrage by constitu-
tional amendment without touching upon
the very vital and very present phase OF
the subjeet-the justice OF woman's claim
to suffrage. How admirably he succeeds
In skTting the dangerous pitfalls which
one who would consider the question i'm
partially must meet Is remarkable. Not
a single one OF the generally known argtI-
ments for and against suffrage appears
anywhere In the volume.
The book Is really a series OF iys
lectures delivered by the author In the
storrs Lecture Course In the Law School
OF Yale University early this year. The
original title OF the lectures was Local
Self-goYernment" and the discussion was
intended 70 show the demarkatlon OF the

20 break down the just equilibrium be-
tween the State and the Federal powers
and Mr. fuckers conclusion Is that the
attempt 70 bring about the right OF suf-
frags for women BY an Amendment to

OF Richard Watson Glider. SOLDIER jour
nallst, poet, critic and lltterateur, who only
n few years ago died in New York after
having been for twenty-elght busy years
edltor-in-chlef of the Century, we knew
much. We even knew much about his
intimate life and his work and achieve
ments In the widely different fields In which
his inexhaustible activity and his versatile
mind found an outlet, But some side OF the
life OF the man who gained prominence when
mere youngster still remained known only
to restricted circle of close friends and
to members Of his family,
Rosamond Glider, n daughter of the nu-
thor-poet Of "The New Day" gives to the
public, as II It were their property a sketch
of the whole life of her father as 1t springs
out of the letters he wrote during his busy
life, one interesting not only to the pro-
fesslonal newspaper man, but to all those
who indulge in literary work. The Let
ters Of Richard Watson Glider" Is indeed n
book Of value to the student OF American
literature. 1t is not only n collection OF
letters written by Glider, but a study OF his
life and his work.
A good part of the book deals with the
work performed by Glider In the tenement
house investigation committee, to which the
Governor of the State of New York ap-
pointed him, very much to my surpriBo," he
writes; and with the question of lnterna-
tional copyright and with municipal affalrs
His letters on these questions give an idea
of the wonderfully balanced mind this vet
eran journalist possessed, which enabled
him to discuss with equal competence n
question of public affairs. performance by
Paderewski and the literary value of a novel
or q book of verses.

The Professors War Story

WITH A FIELD AMBULANCE AT YPREs. BY
william Boyd. George II. Doran Company.
New York.
Britain militant has drawn her warriors
from many lands and many crafts. For in
stance here Is William Boyd. Doctor Boyd,
author of with a Field Ambulance at
Ypres," is in peace time sayant and a
medical pedagogue. the professor of pathol-
ogy at the University OF Manitoba, Gladly
at the call of empire he changes the ample
spaces OF his northwestern praIrles for the
crowded trenches of the Flanders line; the
clean air, the safety, the homeIy Joy, for
smoke, danger discomfort; n congenial,
lesurely occupation for an unremlttingly
tollsome exercise OF his finest skill. Saori-
foe, yes; but not all sacrifice, on the testi-
mony Of his chronicle, set in diary form,
OF the war as he experienced It. The book
is not only nrst-hand, but It is douby val
liable because contemporaneous, as the
diurnl passages were jotted down in
kitchens of French farmhouses, in mud dug
outs and other unromantic spots, within
twenty-four hours of the events recorded.
Not only are the terror and horror OF war
portrayed, but also its tragic beauty and
Its appealing mystery.

American Socialism

SOCIALISM IN AMERICA. BY John Macy.
Doubleday, Page Co. Garden City l.. 1.
One of the newest in Doubleday, Pages
excellent series, THE American Books" Is
brilliant, thorough, yet popular considera-
tlon of the present status and meaning Of
socialism. Though John Macy deals
primarily with America his definitions and
his distinctions between various elements of
the socialist movement have a worldwide
application. Moreover he takes the Great
War into extensive consideration in its
effect on socialism. He has admirably de-
fined the ccope of his book in the follow
ing passage:
when n movement is IN a state of con-
fusion obscured and torn by the madness
of the larger world that surrounds II, one
does not expect II to give expression to It's
clearest and best Ideas. Yet 1t is just when
a movement Is caught unawares, shaken
and driven to action, stripped OF non
essentials, that we can best estimate its
strength and weakness. The war will have
n profound influence on socialism II may
even revolutionize the revolutionists. What
socialist ideas promise to emerge integral
from this conflict? What other conflicts do
they lead to? What did the political candl-
date mean by asserting that n vote for So
clallsm is a vote against war? What is
meant by international socialism, Does
capitalism cause war7 II socialists are
against war. what do they mean by the
class war? Are they mere humanitarian
pacihsts with an afternoon tea ideal of
socIetyP Where did they get their ideas ?"

EASTENDERS AFTER
PARK FOR FULTON
Citizens On Purchase of Old
Fairfield Race Track.

Two hours were consumed by the
Finance Committee last night in hear
ing arguments on the proposed pur-
chase of property for city parks and
Fairgrounds.
Messrs. Charles Felvey and w. H.
Adams spoke favorably for the pur-
chase of the old Fairfield rece track
property OF fifty-six acres, to be used
as a playground. and for street i'm
provements, thirty acres of which
would. be sufflcient for the play
ground.
Mr. Felvey stated there were hun
dreds OF Church Hill young men OF
athletic inclination, who had no place
to engage in athletics. He said the
property could be utilized by the city
in n commercial way, thereby secur-
ing a recovery of the amount paid
for il.
Alderman Adams declared that the
city could buy the property. use
portion of II, and dispose of the re-
mander at q figure which would be
sufficient to cover the original In
vestment.
The committee took interest IN the
proposition, and membTs of the dele
cation of citizens expressed satisfao-
ton at the outlook.
Fulton delegations appeared for an
that section. Two sites were presented
the committee. One will cost $4,000.
the other 5000. It was said that
either site would entail additional ex-
penditures before perfection were
reached.
The committee had previously recon-
mended the purchase OF the property
known as the Phillips tract, for U.s.
600. Alderman Nielsen hoped the com
mittee would enlarge on the amount
OF the appropriation. so that suitable
tract might be secured
Speaking against the Philips tract
were Messrs O'Connor, Martin. Leon
ard, while those who favored II were
Messrs Phillips, Jones. CARRIER.
After hearing from the interested
parties the committee went into ex-
ecutive session. The hour being late
nearly midnight--the committee ad-
tourned subject to call, without decid-
ing upon anything.

RETAIL MERCHANTS TO
CONFER ON LICENSES

Crowded to the doors, the Council
cham Der last night was the scene OF
gathering of retail grocerymen and
other merchants, who appeared be-
fore the Finance Committee to enter
their protest against an increase In
license tax fees.
The committee had previously
heard representatives. of the Retail
Merchants Association, and had rec
commended a license tax. is agreed
upon by the city auditor, city account
ant and commissioner OF the revenue
and the association. This tax is
graded and is based upon the pur-
chases of the merchants. Many of
the smaller grocerymen do not de-
sire such a method OF taxation. pre-
fcrring TO have the present method OF
taxation on capital remain,
After much discussion, engaged in
Icy leading members of the Retail
Grocers' Association, and the Retail
Merchants Association the committee,
ON motion OF Mr.. Jones, tabled the
proposed ordinance, so that the
.arious interests might get together at
a meeting within the next ten days,
rad decide upon a schedule which
might meet tho approval of all con-
CJrned
It was shown that the city last year
from this source realized revenue
Of $4,000 Under the proposed
plan-taXation on purchases-lt was
said -hy members OF the Retail Mer-
chants Association the annual rev.
enue would he largely increased.
A. II Pohlig and Leroy Ullman.
representing the Erocers, said that
with increased taxation, many OF the
smaller merchants would have to get
out OF business.
Mr. Pohlig went into the question at
length. He said the grocers would
much prefer to have the prevailing
rate OF taxation remain for the pres
I ent year so that some estimate OF
the actual business might be had
upon which 10 base q taxation on pur-
chases for the coming year.
Mr.. W. H. SChwarzschild. OF the
Retail Merchants Association. which
organization endorses the method OF
taxation on purchases, explained that
his association, in it's work, had tried
to take care OF all merchants, whether
members of the association or not.
and that the association was firmly
convinced that the purchases plan
would prove best for the merchants,
as well as the city.
Mr. John G. Corley spoke along
similar lines. He suggested that II
the matter were held IN abevanC6 Tor
a few days so that the merchants
might hold a meeting for the purpose
of reaching an agreement, the differ
ences of opinion might be straight
ened out.
Mr.. s, r, Beveridge, representing the
feed merchants said he would prefer
taxation on capital He said a number
of merchants had gone out of bust
mass within the past year, because OF
dun times. and II the license taxes
were increased ne feared others would
follow. or at least go 20 some other
place where taxation would not be so
steep.
Alderman Paul presented the gro
GERS side. and introduced tho speak
ers. He said that any material in
crease in license taxes would drive
many grocers to the wall.
Mr.. Schwarzschild stated that he
would call mass meeting Of the mer-
chants for one night early next week.
so a report could be returned to the
committee In time for action during
April.
