DIPLOMACY. While the men in
the trenches are fighting a bloody
war with guns, tBeir rulers at home
have begun fighting automatically
again. Peace talk started it. Weeks
ago Germany, in position of advan-
tage, started to put pressure on this
country, as the leading neutral, to
butt in for peace. Hearst, leading
pro-German publisher, led the clamor
to help win diplomatic advantage.
LlOyd-GeOrge got wind of the game
and gave out his knockout" inter
view to the United Press to anticipate
the German play. When things
cooled off Germany came back with
her peace proposal, with Uncle Sam,
Spain and Switzerland as messenger
boys. Behind the curtain the allies
warned Uncle Sam to keep hands off.
The allies were not ready for peace.
Germany occupied too much of allied
Europe. Had too much trading ma
terial in a peace parley. Both sides
were counting neutral opinion. Great
Britain, France and Russia didn't like
the looks of the map of Europe, with
Belgium, Serbia and Northern
France in hostile hands, and the Ger
man machine running wild through
Rumania. There is no intention to
agree to peace now. Both sides
know it. But the allies have to play

Floods in the West.

San Diego. Cal. Jan. 29.+By
wireless to San Francisco One
hundred lives have been lost, as
nearly as any estimate can show,
and charming little valleys for
SO miles north of the Mexican
line lie desolate tonight from
floods and cloudbursts.
With the death toll in the
O;ay Valley seeming established
at SO and all relief agencies
working in that direction, re.
ports reached here late today OF
floods sweeping the San Luis
Rey and San Pasqual Valleys,
doubling the loss of life. With
communication almost altogeth,
er cut off, it was impossible to
list accurately the number OF
dead; conjectures and meager
reports alone were available.
Seventeen bodies were taken
out of San Diego Bay before
nightfall. These had been
swept down the Otay River
whenthe lower dam went out
late Thursday and the current
of the flood was thought to have
carried many others to sea.

In another column we are
publishing an article advocating
women suffrage. The senti-

the writer and not ours. We are
neutral. We are neither for it
nor against it. If the ladies want
to add to their troubles by tax
ing on the ballot we shall utter
no word Of protest. When they
demand the ballot they may
have it so far as we are concern
ed. Politics will not likely be
made any worse, and there is a
slight chance for improvement.

The price of fertilizers is so
much higher this year many
farmers are considering the ad-
visibility of reduction ia the
amount to be used on this years
crop. Potash is out of sight. In
fact none can be bought except
i'll mixed goods. Nitrogen is
higher also, cotton seed meal
and nitrate of soda having felt
the effects of the war. Acid is
higher too because of the great
war demand for sulphuric acid
which is used in making acid
phosphate. A great many farm,
ers have exchanged seed fo
meal. and thus have the nitroge,
and a small amount of potasl
ready for this season. Wher
this is the case nothing NOR
will have to be bought excep
acid and the advance in pric,
will not be felt so keenly.
We believe also that NOR
manure is being raised thi
winter than ever before, whicl
will aid very greatly in produc
ing abundant crops.

Why Women Should Vote.


Written for The Journal.
A bill to allow women to vote
in South Carolina was seriously
discussed on the floor of the
House a few days ago. Two
years ago men would have said
this was impossible. Three years
ago bill to this effect was ta-
bled in committee with laughter.
On Thursday some of the strong.
est and most progressive repre-
sentatives spoke for such bill
and voted for it. 81 men in favor,
81 men opposed. Only ten votes
difference against it. Is it not
time for men and women over
the state to think.
The growth of sentiment in
favor of suffrage is noticeably
greater in the legislature than it
was last year when the bill was
introduced. "It is coming" even
It's enemies say, though they
think it will be ten years before
it does come. But it will be less
than ten years that the good men
of this state will say by their
vote that their mothers, sisters
and sweethearts should not be
classed politically with crim1-
nails, children, and idiots.
Just let them put on their
thinking. cap and they will see
the injustice of refusing to tax
paying women the right to say
how her taxes shall be spent.
They will see the inconsistency
of holding a mother responsible
for the education and training Of
the children when she canno,
choose by her vote the men who
select the teachers. or the Off
GERS who should put out of bust
ness the drinking-p places and
gambling dens. They will see
the wrong to their women and
children in sending them out in
such large numbers to work in
the mills, stores, and offices and
then giving them no vote to pro
tect themselves in these fields of
industry.
Women have intelligence,
their husbands depend on their
judgement entirely in running
the home, and often ask thei,
opinion in their business. They

A little fair thinking will shoy
every man that the same reason

ANOMALOUS CONDITION

From all sections Of the country comes a
complaint of car shortage. At present the
situation is acute owing to the marketing
of crops. 1t seems that we have had car
shortage that has extended over the best
part of the year.
Will some wise statistician explain these
conditions; eXhOrbibant freight rates on
every commodity; railroads claiming that
they are operating at loss, notwithstanding
they have not cars enough to handle the
business. Has the Interstate Commission
fixed rates so low that that there is no profit
in the business, and do the roads refuse to
increase rolling stock because the business
is Improbable? Why, if there is more bust
ness than the roads can handle with present
equipment, do not the roads add cars suffi-
cient 10 meet demand?
Agricultural and manufacturing indus
tries are booming and clamorng for cars to
move their products. ftlaie il llStries,
which are the principal support of railroads,
are rushed with business, why is it that the
railroad stands out alone as the only industry
that is playing losing game?
Is the Interstate Commission opprassing
the roads with improbable rates, or are tn"
railroads deceiving the people in regard to
the business they are doing and the profits
they make?
Has hostile legislation SO cowed railroad
capitalists that they are afraid &c enlarge
their properties to the proportion Necessary
to handle growing business?
An explanation OF these conditions may
not be Forthcoming, but one thing is certain
and that is that the resulting expense and H.
convenience is being borne by the people,
and that this expense and this Inconvenience
has gradually grown since the government
began tampering with railroads. Hence can
the answer be that the government has eli
minated competition the life Of trade?

POLITICAL RESPONSIBILITY


been concluded with the recent primary and
practically all Of the officials for the ensuing
four years have been selected either by
election or by appointment.
The conclusion Of the contests through
out the state gives opportunity to the voters
to consider one matter connected with the
weighing of the aDpointive sys-
tenn as against the elective system in ch0OS-
ing public officials.
In every subdivision Of the state there
are officials selected by either elective or
appointive power and the several cOnting-
encies have splendid opportunity to make
a comparison of the material entrusted with
leadership.
The issues are important in view Of the
fact that the last legislature passed acts
greatly charging the appointive power of
Tie 20 yernor, and which policy is likely to
Re followed IN the near future in the reOr
ganizatlon of the judiciary and other
branches. in fact the amendment providing
for the state affairs board now up to the
people for ratification is a most radical de-
parture from what has been accepted as
public sentiment on this subject, and the
adoption OF the amendment will lodge more
power inathe executive, than that official has
ever enjoyed.
Its adoption will clearly indicate a
swing of the pendulum and will call for
careful consideration on the part Of the
voters.
The JOURNAL has always leaned to an
aDpOintive rather than an elective system,
and admits that the state affairs bill confers
the acme Of arEOntive lOwer.
There have been abuses of the appoint
i've system but in the main these abuses
have been the result of elect;ng poor an
irresponsible members of the General AS
sembly who in most instances have recon-
mended the executive appointments. The
exercise by the voters of more discretion in
choosing members of the general assembly
would correct this evil and remove the most
prominent complaint against the appoint
i've system.
The average representative goes to
Baton Rouge with the intention and the
power to hold up the governor and admins.
tration policies in order to secure the ap.
pointment Of his local favorites. So, afte:
all, the voter can trace the evils of the ap
pointive system to the fact that they have
elected irresponsible members of the legis
lative branch.
The remedy lies in charging the exec
utive power and in improving citizenship by
voting for capable members Of the genera
assembly.
Attention to public duty on the part Of
the voter and less cussing of the governor
will accomplish desired results.
When the governor makes a bad ap
continent trace the blame to the loca
fountain head and eliminate the evil in
i fiuences at the next election. The governor
will appoint the best men he can d.-En
large his powers and weed out the irrespon
sible leaders who are really to blame TO
most Of the il!advised appointments.
Now is the time to consider the issue
You have before you the record, so pu
