The Supergirl

Inez Milholand Boissevain, lying on n
sick-bed in Los Angeles, rallied when she
heard that suffrage had won in South Da-
kota. While hoping for news of her COM
pIete recovery, who did not pause and
share with the suffragists their pleasure
in this latest chapter of the Inez legend?
1t was in 1909 that rumors first began
to come out Of Vassar College of "su-
pergirl" who had shattered the worlds
record for the shotput, and was at
the same time the most beautiful Romeo
that ever melted the undergraduate heart.
She enriched college tradition about the
same time by defying President Taylor's
edict against suffrage meetings, and led
her followers under cover of night to a
nearby graveyard, where they Grated to
their hearts content.
With this running start, she easily be-
came the most picturesque figure among
the new women" of America. She led
the first suffrage parades on horseback,
and she was starred in all the tableaus as
the most beautiful suffragette.' She was
arrested while picketing in the shirtwaist
strike, and she helped Mrs. Pankhurst to
riot little in London. All these activi-
ties, however, did not prevent her from
from the New York Univer-
sity Law School and beginning active
practice in famous law firm.
d, hat
to check the tide Of her picturesque
career. She merely added Housekeeping
ten minutes a day." to the list of her
activities, and hired somebody else to do
the drudgery for her while she continued
her jestful round of pageants and cam
paigns. Fortunately, her husband be-
lieved in the feminist movement, even to
the extent of letting it be known that it
was the lady who had proposed; later,
however, he claimed that she beat him to
it only because he was foreigner and not
very quick with his English.
When the war broke out Mrs. Boisse-
vain became active in the peace movement,
and went abroad in the Ford ship. Her
last work was as a campaign speaker for
the Woman's party, which aimed to en-
list the women of the Western states to
vote against the Democratic party because
Of its failure to adopt Federal suffrage.
Admiration for this picturesque career
does not commit one to believing that
every modern young woman should go
and do likewise. 1t means only that in
this drab and contentious world one en-
joys tale that tells how suffragist was
beautiful and specialist retained the
ability to enjoy life.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Your to-day's leading editorial, tie

cruelty on Belgians because the German
American choice got elected President Nay
Because those Americans who urged the pss'
pie to vote for President Wilson indorsN

under the Presidents name approved t's
Endorsement. Approved it, not because thu

A Depressed American

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir' / write as one OF those whose ancss-
tors have been Americans for nearly three
centuries and whose boyhood spirit thrilled
with the historic deeds from Bunker Hill to
Appomattox. The past two years have been
years OF complete establishment as to our
country. The American of to-day is con-
glomeration OF all races without a well de-
fined national spirit. Such a thing as pride
of race Of course cannot exist In such a mot
ley throng.
The only we'll defined national aspiration,
as demonstrated In the election, is to keep
comfortable and fat. or such a country I
should say Mr.. Wilson or Mr.. Bryan is a
hitting and representative ruler. For such n
country ! can feel no sentiment Of patriotic
pride. The America OF Washington and JEFF
ferson and Lincoln has passed and have a
feeling of having lost something almost a..
precious as a religion. GEN

Wednesday afternoon, he announces. The
news then favored the enemy and every
body was excited. including, no doubt, Dr.
Grayson. Yet Mr.. Wilson played better
than his best. defeating DR.. Grayson, who
usually beats him. "His putting" Dr..
Grsvson concludes, was as good as or
better than usual. That is how much
nerves showed on him
DR.. Grayson was addressing medical
association, and perhaps his facts may con-
vince mere doctors. They will not con-
vince real golfers. In respect of nerves
Golf is about the trickiest and most un-
stable of activities. You can train your
self for a month, eating none of the things
YOU want to eat and drinking nothing AZ
all. also avoiding every form OF nerve
strain. and then blow up completely on the
very first tee. Unstrained nerves are not
the point. as a matter Of fact, but only a
very delicate pose of mind, which may
conceivably flow from a night out or
broken heart or any other calamitous
trife.
Very possibly Mr.. Wilson felt no strain
from the election. But DR.. Grayson does
not prove the point. To the contrary, the
President played the game Of his life. And
wherefor? Because of the nervous strain
that just happened to straighten out his
swing and roll his ball unerringy into the
cup. Not many golfers have been elected
to the Presidency. But any golfer can
explain this simple phenomenon to the
Southern Medical Association and Dr..
Cary T. Grayson.

In 1920 the Republican party will nave an

more. but I believe once more only, unless
they present a united front recognizing the
boundaries Of the nation as running from the

the Gulf of Mexico.

will have to prevail over that Of the minority

that Mr.. Wilson was elected but that the Re

Clear as a Fog Bank
ditor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The long editorial, "Come East, Young
Vest" in yesterdays Tribune is positively
the worst that has appeared in that paper IN
a long time. It's chief fault is its vagueness.
It hides under mass OF words the germ OF
an idea that is about as clear as fog bank.
Which, what or who is the West that is to
come East, and what is he or it TO do here
Does it mean Illinois. Indiana, Michigan and
Wisconsin, or Ohio, Kansas, Nebraska and
California? Or does it mean that William
Allen White, Of Kansas, should come here
and tell us that New Jersey should have
voted for Wilson as Kansas did, because the
Republican convention nominated Hughes in
stead of Roosevelt or that Hiram Johnson
should come and tell US that we should vote
for Wilson as California did, because the re-
dictionary reception committee In California
side-tracked him (Johnson) at the time Of
Mr.. Hughes's visit there?
Or does it mean that they should tell us
that the great national issue to-day Is Par
sons. Barnes, Penrose, Murray Crane? Here
in New Jersey we thought the Issue was
Wilson and wisconsin, and knowing Wilson
the Republicans and Progressives voted
solidly against him. In Ohio, for some I'M
known reason, the Progressives seem to have
voted not only for Wilson, but also for
Democrat for Senator Can The Tribune ex-
plain why? Mr. Longman, in to-day's Trib-
une, shows why. 1t is that some states mot

Ukuleles
CFro, The Seattle Post-fSfsHiosncsr

(Fror The Seattle Post-rsfsrtcsrcsr)
II has become apparent that the ukulele
has invaded the American market with some
promise of a permanent place in the public
regard Those who have not attempted har-
mony upon it may have specialized upon its
source. A. p. Taylor, correspondent of the
Federal Department Of Commerce, has given
some information on that point.
The ukulele was first produced by q Portu-
guese at Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands. 1t was
a popular vehicle OF music in the islands long
before IL invaded the American market.
Mr. Taylor tells US that September |, 1918,
the ukulele factories of the islands were turn
ing out 500 or 500 instruments menth. A
year later the production had increased to
] 500 n month, and the orders from music
dealers were far from being all filled. Last
month company was organized IN Honolulu
to manufacture 1900 usuls.as q month.

IMPERVIOUS TO ARGUMENT
Many Voters Had Minds Made Up Before
the Conventions

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: For more than forty years | have
been a subscriber to one or another of the
great New York newspapers. In all that
time have never sent a communication to
an editor. But after reading your editorial
of the 10th, "The Real Answer" my indig-
nation Is so great that in behalf OF myself
and many other like-minded Republicans
am moved to protest against its statements
and it's insinuations.
This great state Of Ohio had a Democratic
landslide. Thousands Of lifelong Republi-
cans voted for Mr.. Wilson. Why? Was IL
because Of Mr.. Wilson's winning personal
ityf No. Did they vote for Mr.. Wilson
because Of Mr. Hughes's personal unpopu-
larity, or that he did not couraseously. clear
ly and forcefully present to the average vot-
err the issues Of the day? Surely not. There
were two reasons why these voters voted for
Mr.. Wilson: One, Wilson kept US out of
war" The other, "Times are good. the coun-
try is prosperous; it is inexpedient to make q
change; don't swap horses when crossing a
stream" These voters had their minds made
up months before Election Day, especially
the farmers.
Mr.. Hughes made q splendid campaign,
considering the conditions under which he
made his fight, with a disorganized party be-
hind him. No other man could have received
so large popular vote or won so many
electors. Neither Mr.. Hughes's mistakes, il
he made any, nor Mr. Wilson's popularity
caused his defeat. | protest that it Is not
fair after the election to bring out the tarpot
and spot Mr. Hughes or to bclittle him or
his campaign ID. l.. DAVIES.

BETWEEN TWO EVILS
A Reluctant Voter Explains His Ballot for
Mr.. Hughes

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In course of the late campaign | re-
ceived a courteous letter from Chairman
Tanner Of the state committee requesting
q contribution to help the Republican cause.
In reply wrote Mr.. Tanner that American
citizens travelling on the high seas had
been foully murdered by the armed force OF
another nation that President Wilson had
not made any earnest effort TO secure re-
dress, and still retained at Washington the
representative Of the nation which killed our
people, living on friendly terms with the ad-
ministration that so far as we could judge
from his record and speeches Mr.. Hughes
approved of Mr.. Wilson's conduct In this
matter, although he had denounced all Of
the Presidents important acts In other
matters,
Then asked Mr.. Tanner II there was any
good reason why any true American citizen
should give vote or money TO help the
election OF either one OF them. That oues-
ton remains unanswered.
In order to record my disapprovnl OF Mr..
Wilson's course was compelled to vote for
Mr.. Hughes. but never in forty years past
did I give such a reluctant vote for . candi-
date for President. ] hoped that possibly
Mr.. Hughes might make . better Presi-
dent than Mr.. Wilson in unfolding the
RIGHTS of American citlsens. But the ma
iority disagreed with me, evidently believing
that in choosing between two evils Ills bet
ter 10 retain the one we have than fly to an
other that we know not or
