The Reno Gazette, which, for reasons that are very apparent, has
become the inferenuaI sponsor OF the Womans party in Nevada con.
tanned II its issue OF yesterday u mor than four column statement from
the pen OF Anne Martin, chairman of the organization, giving her
her assun. tonS) IS III with her knife against President Wilson, Sena-
tor llttnan and Ed Caine, Democratic nominee for congress. The
latter >omes under the cutting process simply because he is running on
the ticket, President Wilson because he has o taken congress by the
throat and attempted the passage OF the Susan b. Anthony amendment
and Senator Fittman because OF numerou deeds OF political omission and
commission. Her whole story is a specous makeshift and hardly deserves
the dignity OF a answer and would not receive it from this paper were
it not for the fact that people IN the outside do not know Anne Martin
as well as a great majority Of the people OF Nevada do. To the latter
Anne Martin has never appealed, nr do they believe in her sincerity.
anxious to take up any ism that brings Anne Martin into notouety,. and
months before suffrage was secured in Nevada she had been turned
down by the great body of the women OF the state.
Miss Martin has taken up the Anthony amendment and is making it
an issue solely because OF the prominence its support gives her. As
stated before the element OF nsncerty is lacking in everything she says
and does. Were it otherwise and she a real champion OF suffrage She
would now be in n OF the states where the suffrage fight is close
working Tor the cause insead Of opposing candidates who have done
more for the uphft OF women than eve she has done, Or evr will do,
Before attacking Senator Pttnan she should secure an publish a
statement from Sam Plat, Pittmans opponent, saying where he stood
o n the issue. She knows a we'll as every other intelligent voter that
to make the reimbursement OF women a part Of the constitution of the
United States requires ratification by thrty-sx state legislatures after
passing congress by a two-thrds votea and at the present time probably
not twenty-five state legislatures would endorse it, and liter the position
she has assumed there is the likely possibility that eve a Nevada legis-
lature would fail in its ratification. She knows also that were the Re-
publican party put in control OF every branch OF government at WASH
ington following the 4th Of next March they would do IL o more for
suffrage than they have in the past. The proof of the pudding is in the
eating, and facts prove that the Democratic party has done more for
suffrage than have any OF the others, and il she, Miss Martin, yer hon
est and sincere in her efforts she would be out working for the election
of the mn she is opposing instead OF using questionable methods to bring
about their defeat
Miss Martin also knows, as do all Of us who have kept abreast OF
events, that the Womanis party is ar auxIiary OF the Republican party.
and that the immense sums OF money it is spending is to elect mn OF
that political color and return the big interests to power.

WHERE THE CHARM?

The following is from the pen of L. Claire Davis OF the Stockton
cannot resist this criticism Of the m Teddy is campaigning for:
What is it that makes a man van % be president, anyway? There's
the honor, OF course, OF having tire highest office i'll the nation and all
the hub- dub OF hand-clapping and praise that goes with it. But after a
man has found out what a lot Of bother it is, and that he cant nave a
sound sleep o. nights, any more than a nurse, for thinking about how
his policies may break down the fences and get away, how car any nan
be induced 10 run 4 second time? Some have eve been willing o tackle
it 4 third tine.
"How can a man like Mr.. Hughes, for instance, throw down a nice
lifelong, honorable job that pays his rnt in a nice house and buys cake
and things for every day, step ut Of his ermlne robe, fling it o the floor,
take a reef in his leather belt and go ut to sling rocks and things at a
man he never has duslked just because he wants his job?
"f a newspaper man, a doctor, a dentist, a carpenter, a blacksmith,
went III to gel a job by telling o rotten the other fellows work is,
we'd all despsc him and he wouldn't get the job But a president is
suppose ( stand ior ideals called policies, and it seems to be all right
to hammer the other fellows policies and indicate that he is OF much at
prcGdenting, though it would be extremely uncthical to stand on a cor
Ter and tell the assembled multi lde that a certain doctor is a regular
botch at performing operations. There doesn't seem to be any libel law
when it's the open season for preIdents.'
Carson City daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1907-1930, 1916-09-19
WHAT WOULD MR.. HUGHES DO?

Mr. Hughes attack on the emergency Eight-IIour law which con-
gress adopted to prevent a railroad strike sound more like appeals for
the support of corporations and manufacturers who fear that their own
employees may want a II eght-hour day than appeals to principle.
There is n force OF conviction behind his criticism of this act If
the law is bad it ought to be repealed, be the consequences what they
may Is Mr. Hughes prepared to advocate its repeal? Is he prepared to
say that if elected president he will demand its immediate repcal, strike
Or no strike. civil a or n 10 civil war?
We know that if Mr.. Wilson is reelected this law will not be re-
pealed. 1t will stand, and the commission to be appointed under it will
report all the facts to congress in net less than six months or more than
nine months. But what will happen if Mr.. Hughes is elected? Mr.
Hughes does not tell lis. He never tells us anything when it is necessary
to know precisely what he would do if elected PRESIDENT
That is why we have reached the reluctant conclusion that Mr..
Hughes is the most shifty and evasive candidate that was V e noninat-
ed Tor presidcnt-New York World.

FARM LOAN BANKS

Secretary Flanagan of the Federal Farm Loan board has given warm
ing to the public not to be deceived by fraudulent representations Of
in connection with the Federal boud.
1t has been reported to the secretary that in several parts OF the
country solicitors ar trying to obtain subscriptions to stock of COM
panies organized under different names claiming to have authority to
make loans under the farm loan act
OF course, it is entirely competent for farmers to organize among
themselves associations or groups that will enable them the better to
obtain the benefits which it is intended they shall enjoy from farm loan
banks; but soliciting money or paynen fol stock in oncern that lave
no proper standing and by irresponsible persons must be regarded with
suspicion and farmers should be wary of them.

EXTREMELY MISCHIEVOUS

President Rpley's statement that the Atcfson, Topeka & Santa Fee
railroad will not obey the Eight Hour law until "ordered to do 20 by the
Supreme court is extremely mischievous. If it is merely IN awkward
way of expressing that ralwayss desire to est the law in or highest
court, it is understandable. But the language itself is that Of lawless-
ness, and Mr. .Adanson, the father of the bill, has been quick to seize
pom this aspect Of it.
If the law is unconstitutional, it will be set aside by the courts; ii it
is rankly unjust, the recourse is to the court Of public opinion, which,
from every indication. is leaning clearly to the side of the railways. 1t
would only take, however, d few uttcrances like this of Mr.. Rip1ey-who
fortunately has thus far had no imitators-to cause the pendulum to
swing back. There are plenty of people as it is who, remembering the
railways past misdceds, take 4 certain satisfaction in seeing them pun
ihed now, ever though unjustly-Ihe Nation.

Is Not Aggression

Whether this long deferred armed
action. which begins purely as a punt
tive measure to clear northern Mexico
of menacing bandit bands over which
Gen. Carranza has no control shall
tion or occupation in Mexico, depends
in large measure upon General Car
rama and the Mexican people. It be-
gins with President Wilson's declara-
ton that it is entirely in aid of the
Carranza government and without
thought Of aggression.
White House Statement
The following statement was issued
at the White House:
AN adequate force will be sent at
once in pursuit of Villa with the sin
gle object of capturing him and put
ting stop to his forays.
This can be and will be done in en-
trely friendly aid of the constituted
authorities of Mexico, and with scrup-
ulous respect for the sovereignty Of
that republic"
Approved by Cabinet
President Wilson's decision to de-
part from the policy Of watchful wait
ing, fastened by the Columbus massa-
ere yesterday was announced after it
had been unanimously approved by the
cabinet and administration leaders in
Congress. The Presidents position was
explained fully to the latter, who
agreed that he should not be embar-
raised at this time by discussions of
a minority which might arouse trouble
in Mexico.
After a brief cabinet meeting at
which the President was described as
being as determined to eliminate Villa
as he was to eliminate Huerta, Secre-
tary Baker fastened to the War de-
partment and as his first act sent Or
ders to the border troops. Soon after
ward the army general staff also as
sembled and conferred over the plans
which had been drawn and perfected
since the Mexican situation doomed up
as a disturber to the peace Of the
United States.
Funston Urges Secrecy
General Funston telegraphed. urging
utmost secrecy Of the army's plans.
The border is honeycombed with Mexi-
can spies and it was agreed that the
expedition would be pushed to success
by keeping Villa and his men ignorant
Of it's movements. 1t is possible that
no correspondents will be permitted to
accompany the columns. At any rate
strict censorship will be imposed.
