Why Women Can't Understand Politics

The other day, while the Assembly
was passing the bill to enable the can
ners to employ women twelve hours a
day. the Senate was dealing with bills
relating to teachers pensions, the an
nulment Of marriages and the reading
Of the Bible in schools.
No subjects for stay-at-home women.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-04-23

Miss Chittenden's assertion that the
passage Of the suffrage bill was an anti
suffrage triumph reminds US of the re-
port of one of Napoeon's generals after
he had lost a battle: "Not a retreat,
sire. but one of those retrograde move
ments of which history loves to talk"

CATALOG OF CRIME
Bishop Meeting
Relief Fl, 1915.

I am here tonight to voice by my
presence, for whatever my presence
may be worth, and also by spoken
word, my sympathy and to persuade
others toward that sympathy for the
suffering. starving Jewish people;
men, women and children on the
other side of the seas. am moved
to do this. not merely by sentimental
considerations, though sucn consid-
erations are always legitimate. but as
an act Of justice. 1t is debt, a debt
in the first place which the christian
churches owes to the Jewish people:
it is PREPARATION debt for Its perse-
cutions of them, and for the cruelties
and the crimes which 1t has inflicted
upon them. 1t is a Catalogue of
crime, and as a christian man, with
shame for the christian church, con-
fess and admit that inc church whose
protested faith is charity and love
for all, for the brotherhood of man,
for the fatherhood Of God; and not
withstanding that professed faith has
inflicted such cruelty and injury upon
the Jew. Not because he was sim
,ner above all other sinners, but be-
cause he was Jew. And for this
reason they made an outcast of him,
unsheltered by the christian state,
unshielded blythe christian church.
and yictimized by both.
It is a fact embedded In the his
tory of the past and the right, the
proper, the just, thing for the chris
tan church to do, is to try to pay
lin full measure 1t never can-but
to try to pay that PREPARATION debt,
and now is the time.s
In this his bitter hour, in his. starvs
ing and suffering nour, now lis the
time to payait. The debt is due, it
is overdue; and the payment now
should be made and I appeal, not
merely to the sons of Zion here, my
Jewish fellow citizens, but / appeal
to my christian fellow citizens in this
land to pay and discharge promptly
and generously this reparation debt
to the Jew.
It has been intimated in the COM
munication from the Zee president.
it is also civilizations debt to the
Jew, for who that is familiar with his
history. can fail to recognize the in
valuable service which he has rem
dered to the progress of mankind. 1t
is fact beyond question. beyond dis
pute, that there Is scarcely any
branch of art, or science, or litera-
ture or letters, in which the Jew
has not rendered great service to
civilization, and accomplished notable
results.
OF course / do not mean to say or
imply that this is true of the whole
Jewish people. but neither is it true
of any race or people in its entirety,
but a race or a people should be or
ought to be judged, not by their
worst but by their best. and no one
who is not history-blind can fail to

recognize the notable service which
the Jew at his best will compare with
the best of any race up to our mod
ern civilization, from Moses, the
great teacher of righteousness, down
to Moses Mendelssohn, the great
philosopher and thinker; from Isaiah

hut beyond all that, and higher per-
haps than all that, 1t is humanity's
debt. Someone has said that human
relationships, as they become less
close, are more ditncult to moralize,
and it is true, but human relation

close but more close. Human life

belligerency and strife, Is touching

is all one.
recall that Emerson, in his essay,
I think, on the American Scholar"
says something like this: 1.-THE gods
at the outset divided man into men
that they might be helpful to him
self, as the hand is, divided into fin
gers to better serve its end" Human
life today Is but one great hand

parts, and If one race or finger on
this human hand is wounded and
crippled and hurt, the whole human
race is crippled, wounded, hurt and
cannot do its work and cannot be it.

Therefore, I say 1t is humanity's
debt to the Jew and I appeal to that
humanity of the American people,
which is the boast, the legitimate
boast, the only worth while boast
and glory Of the American people.
which never fails to respond to any
human needs. no matter how remote,
as it is responding now SO literally
and so freely. I appeal to that human
ity, that American hum anity, to pay
promptly, with free and open hand,
its debt. its human debt, to the Jew
ish people in this their bitter hour,
and so discharge its Indebtedness to
its own American human life. In the
name of the christian church. in the
name Of civilization, in the name Of
American humanity, appeal In be-
half of the Jew, who is suffering to-
day-men. women. and children-to-
night, on the other side of the seas.

DAY OF REST
IN MOHR TRIAL
State and Court Will Relax, But De-
fense Expects to Utilize
Every Hour.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service1
PROVIDENCE, r. l., Jan. 22.-Sun-
day will be a real day Of rest for the
state as we'll as for the court, but
the defense in the trial Of Mrs. Eliza
beth Mohr, Cecil V. Brown and Henry
Spellman, for the murder Of DR.. G.
Franklin Mohr, will utilize every hour
gathering its witnesses and arrang-
ing the battle which it expects to
open early next week.
The story told by Miss Gertrude
Stevenson, Boston newspaper wom-
an, and George w. Heals, negro
chauffeur, has assumed such danger
Gus proportions to the defense that it
is planning to call many witnesses
they would not have been oblige1 to
call if either had faltere1 in their
stories.
It is understood the defense had not
intended to place Mrs. Mohr on the
stand. Before Heals had told his
story, which places a share for DR..
Mohr's death squarely on her, moth
ing had been offered in evidence
which would have made it necessary
for her to take the stand.
Whether she, or either of the two
negro defendants takes the stand,
will depend largely upon the success
which the attorneys for the defense
have in detracting from the story told
by Miss Stevenson and Heals, by
showing through several witnesses
that Heals had made a number of
other statements.
The most important witness who
remains unheard in the case against
the defenda is, 1t is understood is

Easy Way to Keep
Your Hair in Curl

II you have trouble keeping your
hair in curl, you'll do well to try plain
liquid silmerine. Apply little at
night with a clean tooth brush, draw
ing this down the full length of the
hair from root to tip. The hair will
dry In the prettiest waves and curls
that you can arrange, and the effect
will appear altogether natural. In
stead of that dull dried-out look which
the heated iron gives, the hair will be
bright, lustrous and beautiful.
Liquid silmerine is of course perfect
ly harmless to hair and scalp, and Is
neither greasy nor gummy. If you will
get few ounces from your druggist
you will find it quite inexpensive to
use.
