Politics and Chivalry.

The result of the women's special train that
went out with blare of trumpets to accomplish
something for the Republican national candidate
seems to be generally voted failure.
Those who were conceded place in the spot
light were who had won their spurs on
public platforms and few were embryo politicians.
They had great plans and great ambitions, but
their calculations did not include proper measure
of the electorate they chose to convert. On the
last stages of the journey, is doubtful whether
they helped or hurt the Hughes candidacy.
There were several mistakes in the conception
of the tour. No greater mistake was made than
when the personnel was confined largely to women
who were associated with great wealth. They had
no interests in common with the working masses
encountered in the West and the receptions that
they were given by the working women of the
country beyond the Mississippi could develop no
enthusiasm.
The activity of women in politics has been
largely devoted to equal suffrage propaganda or
campaigning against that reform For that reason
the men voters found it difficult to disassociate the
women campaigners from suffrage or anti-workers
even though their platform was purely Republl-
can-and men voters were noticeable by their alb
sence.
Women in the States which have been enfran-
chised and will have a real voice in the election
in November resented the advice of the olsen
franchised women of the East They urged that
they had practical experience with the ballot and
it savored of mpudence for their inexperienced
sisters to advise them.
Other meetings brought out hecklers who took
keen delight in advancing embarrassing questions
which men campaigners of more experience would
have had difficulty in parrying, but which
brought the women speakers to point OF nervous
ness and irritability.
Last but not least in the troubles OF the women
was the systematic campaign of belittlement con-
Quoted by the Democratic camp.
1t was very interesting experiment. and DEM
onstrated that while the are willing they
probably have not yet reached the stage in politics
where they take the hustings and swap verbal
brickbats with those encountered in the average
rally of the voters. When the women seek equal
political rights with men they learn that chivary
has to take back seat and equality at the ballot
must assume equality the public platform.

The New War Faces.

Emphasis so often is placed on the new engines
of destruction that the European war has de-
veloPed that it is really refreshing to learn the
terrible conflict has done something for the bet
terment of humanity
Contrasted with the stories of tanks that wreck
life and limb and noxous gases that leave
their victims bereft of reason is the welcome news
that science has evolved a mode of reconstruct
ing horribly dishgured faces and making war suf-
ferers less repulsive to the human eye and more
like normal beings.
Strangely enough, it is sculptor Lieut. Der
went Wood, son of an American father and an
English mother who has turned his talents to sue
cess in the betterment of the facial contour of
the manned
While past the age of enlistment he has ap-
piled the expert knowledge Of his own art as an
assistant in the royal army medical corps with
singular success. By means of masks Of thin COP
per, tinted to resemble flesh, he has been able to
work wonderful transformations in men who
would otherwise be permanent objects of pity
through dishgurements.
One case among many in which happiness was
made to displace despair was that of TROOPER
Everitt whose face had been smashed by an ex-
plosive bullet. His nose had been carried away
almost entirely and his left cheek torn open from
his ear to the corner of the mouth Before the
able by the wonderful facial mask that Lieut. Wood
has contrived for him-a mask consisting of false
nose, cheek and mustache-he is plying his old
trade and prospering. When he first saw his re-
constructed visage the report says that he jumped
for joy.
Further encouragement to those sufferers whose
sacrifice to strife has been the loss of an arm has
been afforded by moving picture films showing
what an American SO handicapped, has been able
to accomplish in educating his remaining arm for
useful service.
This man, John NJ. Casey municipal censor
of films and theatricals at Boston runs the type
writer, keeps an involved set of books issues
theatrical licenses and looks after all of the Hubs
theaters, although possessing but one arm
How he has been able to make himself useful
servant in the business world is depicted in film
now being shown in the English and French war
hospitals. The film is said to be a revelation, fur
nishing wonderful inspiration and encouragement
to those in Europe similarly afflicted
Such things recall that the war has really taught
something constructive even though the advances
of science have been at terrific cost

The Herald's Open Forum

No meats, coarse vegetables nor stfrnu-
lants OF any kind should be allowed. but
only the simplest, most easily diFested
foods In moderation.
While the epidemic was at It's beiRbt
newspapers published accounts OF iFnor-
ant foreigners In the poorer sections, Civ
ing their babies beer in place Of mix.
and others were found feeding cucun-
bers TO very young children. Many
children Of this class. among whom the
plague originated, spend their pennies az
the curb pushcarts for over-ripe and dirty
fruit and the cheapest sort OF cakes and
csndies-sticky and covered with the
hlthy dust and germs Of the cutters where
they play in the hot sur and fetid air.
Surely such q combination Of conditions
is vastly more harmful than q few hles
and a pet dog or cat
Since children in the charitable instftu-
tons have escaped infection this would
seem 70 add weight to the theory that
food is an active agent in causing the
disease, for they are given only the plain
est fare and are more often underfsd
than overfed! Another significant fact II
that the boy patients greatly oUtnumber

Could there be better evidence of the aloofness
of America from European affairs, so long there
is no infringement upon American rights, than that
the American public has viewed calmly and with
detached interest the activities of German subma-
rines off the Atlantic coast? AS long as the rules
of war are observed the Germans may continue
destroying shipping within gun range of American
harbors with protest being made by the govern
ment, and without resentment being felt by the
people. Should the Germans resort to "frghtful-
ness" the position of the American government
would be just what it was when the Lusitania was
sunk, and action suitable to the circumstances
would be taken in due course and without excite
