The Herald heartily approves OF
the action of the national house Of
representatives in providing for two
new battleships. OF course minority
leader Mann and the entire Repub-
iican representation were behind the
movement. The issue was not par
tisan one and the Republicans were
only too glad to show their consis-
tency by supporting the conservative
building program that has been adyo-
Gated by their party for years. This
is only one of the doctrines of Re-
publicanism that Democracy has late
ly espoused.

~ANADIAN women have only
had suffrage few months,
u but they know what they want
to. do with their voting priv
ileees, and they are going about It In
business-like fashion.
Mrs. Nellie Lee McClung made this
when asked concerning Can
adam suffrage affairs In newly enfran-
chised Canada. She has been In this
country helping out with the late cam
poign In West Virginia. where women
did not get the vote-yet.
Strangely enough, although this inter-
view with Mrs. McClung was had be-
fore the election in this country had
been decided. she "doped" II right. She
predicted that women would not be held
down to voting either for one party
or the other, and mentioned their inde-
pendence Of thought regarding their
vote in Western States with uncanny
prophecy.
Not Bound BY Party.
"The most significant thing about
IN. woman in politics." said Mrs. Nc
chung. els that she Is as yet unwill-
ing to line herself up with any one
political party and that she wishes
10 act unconined by any party hy-
pothesis. You have noticed this same
tendency in the reports from the
western States. where political lead
ers are said to be basing all their
forecasts of victory on the turn OF
the feminine vote. For. having ca
ioied and led even the. unwilling
women to register. me men voters
are baffled by the sudden indepen-
dence shown by the women voters.
