At the time of the suffrage parade in
Portland last week Halbert P. Gardner
was quoted as having said that the rea-
son women oppose suffrage was because
they were too lazy to properly inform
themselves on political matters. The
Portland Press says that what Mr.. Gard
ner did say was: "In my judgment. the
opposition by women to equal suffrage is
based on ideas that are finicky.'

President Wilson has accepted the
German note and we now enter upon
another period of "Watchful Waiting"
to see if Germany will abandon her pres
ent methods of submarine warfare
against passenger and freight carrying
vessels. although the promise to do so is
conditional on the United States compel
ling Great Britain to give up her food
blockade against Germany. This decis-
lon Of the President is somewhat sur
prising in view of the fact that the Ger
man note is positively insulting in its ref
ersnces to the attitude of this country
and discusses issues entirely irrelevant
to the main point. The conclusion of
President Wilson's last note to the Ger
man government was as follows:
Unless the Imperial Government should
now Immediately declare nd effect an
abandonment of its present methods of
subm arlne warfare against passenger
and freight carrying vessels, the Gov
eminent of the United States can have
no choice but to sever diplomatic rea-
lions with the German Empire alto
gether This action the Government of
the United States contemplates with the
greatest reluctance, but feels constrain-
ed to take In behalf of humanity and the
rights of neutral nations.
The immediate" reply requested was
three weeks in coming and arrived just
before the first anniversary of the sink
ing of the Lusitania, which followed the
sinking OF the ship VIM. P Frye, and
has been followed by other offences.
During this year numerous "notes'
have passed between the two govern
menJs; but has any reparation been
made by Germany or any promise made
by her been fulfilled? If so it has not
been made public. The Boston Tran
scr5ptin summing up the situation before
the President had come to decision, in
dictated that there may be more or less
politics in it. 1t said:
The pessimistic predictions of yester-
day are supplanted today by Optimistic
surprise" in certain official quarters and
and Mr.. Bryan and his followers in Con-
gress and in the country can be counted
upon to place friendly and favorable
construction upon the extent of Ger.
many's concessions. If the rejoinder
is regarded by the President as sufficient
ly sympathetic to warrant continuance
of relations with Germany we may safely
expect series of notes to Great Britain
through the summer which will serve tc
relieve the Administration of the crit.
icisms that now prevail in parts of the
Middle West over its alleged failure to
made Great Britain "toe the line." The
political effect of such manpuvre should
be favorable to the President among all
classes of citizens inclined to be hostile
to Great Britain.
N'What we want from Germany" says
the Brooklyn Eagle, ''is an admission OF
wrongdoing, which we have not obtained
PREPARATION for the injury wrought, which
we have not obtained; and promise OF
amendment, which we have obtained, but
which is SO qualified by restrictions as te
make it of doubtful value" That tells
the whole story.

anti-dumping legislation and repeats
the stamp tax sections, but not the
special excise taxes of the war reve-
nue. bill Of October, 1914.
Republicans succeeded in amending
the bill in several particulars even if
they were unable to modify its essen
tials. Representative Longworth of
Ohio was the author of a successful
amendment striking out the provision
that no former member of congress
shall be appointed to the tariff com
mission. His amendment carried, 239

Representative Wood, an Indiana
Republican, obtained adoption of an
amendment eliminating the special tax
levied against bankers of 81 per thou
sand of capital, surplus and undivided
profits. This amendment was adopted,
202 to 176. Tae bill as reported, as
sessed bankers. although it was argued
today that they already were taxed
under the corporation tax statute. Mr..
Wood 5 successful amendment was of
fered while more than twenty members
were seeking recognition from the
chair, to offer amendments, and con
stituted an eleventh-hour change prob
ably as important as any made in the
bill.
DESPITE the protest of Representa-
tive Rainey, in charge of the tariff
commission section of the bill, the
house adopted an amendment by Rep
resentative Green of Iowa reducing
the salaries of the members of the
, commission from $4,000 to 81, 800 per
year. The salary of the secretary was
cut from $4,000 to $4,000.

bill carried tax of . cents for every

Held on Suspicion.

FAIR HAVEN. July 1.-Two men
giving their names as Frank Baker
and John Radigan, are being held on
suspicion in connection with breaks
ut the ticket office at the railroad sta
tion and the office of the Fair Haven
Foundry and Machine company. The
breaks were discovered Yesterday morn

both instances by breaking n window.
The burglars evidently secured but
little booty, nothing of value but a gum
machine. which was taken from the
wall Of the railroad station, being miss
ing. Several papers were stolen at
both places. but why these were lugged
off is a mystery as they could be of
no value to the thieves.
Baker and Radigan were found
asleep beyond the railroad tracks and
it is claimed that some Of the stolen
papers were found within i feet OF
where they lay. Both of the men were
intoxicated.
They were locked up by Officer John
