~JOsephus's EIa mple.

Secretary JosEPHus conferred an
ADDRESS on the students Mt the Naval
Academy last week in which he in.
dulged in the subjoined advice and
prophecies:
II counsel you 70 early marry ts!cl
yourself TO a special branch O, the SER
vice. for an ounce of expert knowledge
in the days that are before you will be
worth a pound OF general information.

self a master OF his speciality.
THE time will come when exper;
knowledge will he the chief demand
upon you"
May it turn ont that JosEPHus,
throughout whatever period Of time
he may retain the Office in which he
has so conscientiously displayed his
unfitness since March 4. 1913. will ap-
ply to the administration Of his duties
tne lesson ne sought To impress on the
young naval officers. Hitherto he has
shown n contempt for special knowl-
edge and expert guidance that has
alarmed the service unfortunately
entrusted to his care. His disinclina.
tion to give heed 10 the recommends.
tions of trained and skilful officers
has been n boast Of his administra-
ton, and its effects are unhappily
apparent in every unit Of the naval
establishment.
From JosEPHUs's words. In this in
stance. and ne from his example, the
young men of Annapolis are TO derive
whatever wholesome inspiration he
may be able to impart to them.

Our Santo Domingo and Haytian

In the present uprising the United

fierce the marines who landed several
weeks ago. and the casualties incurred

WOMAN IN POLITICS.
l nequlNocal Claim That She Holds
the Balance Of Power.

To THE EDITOR or THE SUS-Sir. In
forming a Woman's Party there is no
though; % "seS-t-a:.nS woa:ea" yo...-
ioallH, nor Is there any expectation Of
uniting 100000 women voters" We
do not need 10 unite 1000. 900.
The M voters are organizing FOR
one purpose only. TO secure the passage
oi the national suffrage amendment.
they have been appealed to because
they are the group Of voters most SYM
pathetic with the ruggie Of Eastern
women for freedom. Their help is
reeded because the party in power is
blocking the amendment in Congress.
Women voters are in r position to
give this help and 10 defeat the party
which persists in opposing national
Woman suffrage because of these facts (:
The twelve States N which ONT vote
are "douhtful' States. II the last five
Presidential elections not one Of them
tas gore steadily for any one party.
N any ~ them a change ~ 2 per cent.
OF the total yot" cast In any Presiden-
tjal election since 1895 would have
thrown the election 10 the other PARTY.
In 923 out Of 30l congressional cleo.
Tons during this same period a change
OF 10 per cent would have changed the
result IN the same way.
\ small group % them united ian hold
the balance ~ power In the coming
elections.
The Congressional linton. tire orga nj
zation which has called the women vot-
ers together. is accused ~ being anti
de ToCratic. The fundamental r-inciple
OF the union Is 10 put the issue ~ ma
,lonal woman suffrage above all mar
ties, TO oppose any party in power which
refuses TO further this cause. The
Democrats happened 70 be the party IN
power when by the winning % the Ia 81
suffrage states women secured enough
rover to make themselves felt In ma
t'onsl politics. and the Democrats have
chosen SO far 10 oppose the suffrage
amendment.
Our hope is that before his session
a. Congress Is completed the Democratic
party VIII have recognized the Justice
and wisdom % putting the amendment
through, and the Woman's Party will
have no need 10 enter the fall elections.

A Word to SunPsgists,

The attitude Of the members of
the Congressional Union for Suffrage
toward national preparedness is in.
comprehensive To Americans, men
and women alike, who realize the
gravity of the situation in this coun.
try. The mischievous character Of
the unions propaganda is the result
OF an error underlying It's methods.
an error identical with that which
led the English muitants to action
Injurious 10 their cause.
1t would be well for the union to
consider the significance of the fact
that the English milltants subordi.
mated their enthusiasm for suffrage
10 devotion to the flag of their nation.
The suffrage cause may receive n
new impetus in England after the
war because a large number Of mill.
tant sufrage,tes, once given to stone
throwing and incendiarism, have he.
roically engaged on the battle fronts
In nursing men wounded in the strug.
gle England was forced to make for
existence. The English militnnts were
quick IN realize that In time OF peril
the suffrage issue is Of secondary
Importance.
The Congressional Union is dis.
posed to blind itself to the necessity
for immediate preparedness against
war. As n Of It's leaders ccntly
said, Its opinion Is that a country
that denies the vote to women Is not
fitted to survive that unless u Fed.

takes a poet 10 tell what's what. Which
one OF us who read Tennyson In our

The sanctity OF his phrasing was hardly
enough TO save him from our contempt

thought he displayed IN presenting his
preposterous vision to us as a picture
OF possibilities. And now look!
When Moore wrote The best OF all
ways 10 lengthen our days Is TO steal
a few hours from the night, my dear"
who imagined hat he was doing any
more than putting a fantastic wh!msy
into immortal verse; We smiled and

better, And now look
