Senator Ashurst spoke big truth
when he said, in reference to the at
tempt to defeat the confirmation Of
Louis d. Brandeis: II can well mag
inc the CONSERVATION of republican
senators when the name of Mr.. Bran

a man who spent his life steering cor
porations around the law they would
have been fighting for his confirma-
ton; but, having spent his life fight

causistry is resorted to-
Now, if Louis D. Brandeis had bowed
to the will of the corporation, had
gone along the easiest way, without
opposing the great powers of finance
and privilege. he would have been
hailed a great man. But because he
dared fight on the side of the people as
against monopoly and corporate in
fluence he is unfit to sit on the su-
preme bench of the United States. Has
this country reached the stage where a
man must be on sociable terms with
the corporation before he is fit to rep
resent the people? The senate can an
swer that question. The people are
waiting for the answer. The individ-
uality of the man Brandeis is unim-
portant in this case. The issue before
the senate Of the United States is
whether they will bow to the will OF
the corporations or the people.

A Bankrupt Leadership,

New York World: Last January
James R. Mann as republican leader
in the house, was standing BY the adj
ministration on behalf of reasonable
measures for the national defense.
Early last March found him voting at
the head of l01 other republicans for
the McLemore resolutions in surrender
OF American rights as demanded by the
kaiser. His leadership next found ex-
preston last week in sneering and
maleVolent comment on the presidents
address to congress in relation to the
submarine crisis. At the end of the
week, posing as in favor of an imme-
date enactment of the senate army
Dill, he lnsistently acted so as to post
pone consideration of the measure.
This ends the descent of James r.
Mann from a worthy position of house
republican leadership to a state where
personal spite and obstructive dema-
gogy are the governing factors. Only
three months-but the fall is as COM
plete as that OF Lucifer at the lower
deeps of the depths.
Whatever may be the condition Of
republican leadership outside OF con-
gress, that of the house in congress
is hopelessly bankrupt, as all can see.
II remains now to name a receiver
ship to take over the wreckage and
consider way and means of rehabili-
tation.

The Coming Woman in Europe.

St Louis Globe-Democrat 1t has
been possible to wonder, since the be-
ginning of the great war, if the doing
of mems work by millions of women
at home, would not lead the feminine
mind to higher appreciation of wom-
en- in the general scheme of things.
When Paul Blouett wrote that, if he
could be reincarnated he would want
to be reincarnated an American wom-
an, he was as much critical of the too
low estate of women in Europe as of
what he believed to be a dangerous
elevation of women in the United
States. He was sure that women were
not getting fair chance in Europe,
and it necessarily could be nothing
more than his opinion that the final
result of giving her too many chances
over here would not be good.
The absence of men in trenches has
called millions of women into many
OF the occupations the men had to
leave behind them. In all of the war
ring countries, the women have done
their new work SO we'll and therbey
cooperated so effectively in maintain
ing the national defense and public
welfare, it is hardly to be supposed
that, after the war ends, they will
drop back into the minor sphere al
ways held to be the proper sphere of
womankind in Europe. In Paul Blou-
etts native France, the movement to-
ward charging the field of woman's
participation in the responsibilities of
life is already taking shape Demands
are already being formulated by
French women for equal wages and
equal civil rights. Many organizations
OF women workers have been perfect
ed. A rural school has been started
to instruct women in scientific meth
DDS of agriculture. There is no prom
Use of an abandonment of domestic
duties by French women, but every
prospect of the coming woman whose
new status in organized society Iegis-
lation will have to recognize to some
extent
In Great Britain, in Germany, and
in Austria, where, too, women have
been forced to take up new work, they
are doing it so well that among them.
as among those of France, there must
be an awakening consciousness which
will make itself felt in pressure for
larger opportunity, and on more
equal terms with men. The men of a
country emerging from this war who
would withhold from their women all
enlargement Of opportunity in reward
for their loyalty, and their proved
merit, would be lacking in the ele-
ments of common fairness. 1t may be
possible that, even in benighted Rus
STA, there will be some STRINGS of
the sense of fair play in recognition
of what Russian women have done
and are capable of doing.

MOVIES AND SCIENCE.

If you are a movie fan you must
have noticed the extreme youth of the
most popular sweethearts in the
screen world. "Flappers," it appears,
now have their choice of all the eligi-
BILE men in the film plays.
The heroines Of the glass screen for
whom the shadowy heroes and vii
lains contend most desperately are just
out of school. These sweet young
things get themselves engaged with
their golden hair hanging down their
backs, and doing impulsive things with
kittenish innocence which saves them
from seeming imprudence.
A man may be eligible as lover
~and husband at any old age, but &C
cording TO movie plots, the most sought
after girls of the hour do their hair up
on top of their heads for the first time
when they go to the altar.

Ecle contains a dangerous teaching.

Sunlight, the most powerful germi-

in a plate may withstand a moment
airy fash of sunshine, or at most suf-
fer only inhibition of growth, but if
the direct rays of the sun fall for d
few minutes upon the culture all the
germs will be destroyed.
In using disinfectants, for the prop
er disposal of infected discharges, the
time element is commonly neglected.
fectant is sufficient. On the contrary,
the diSinfectant must remain for MANY
minutes, perhaps half an hour
longer, in contact with the infected
material, if the disease germs are to
be rendered innocuous.
While it is by no means good prac-
tice to employ antiseptic or germi-
cidal substances habitually in the
toilet of the mouth, nose or other body
cavity, there are many conditions in
which antiSeptics may be required.
For instance, an acute sore throat,
in which mildly antiseptic gargle or
spray is used. If the solution is but
momentarily in contact with the in
famed or infected surface it can exert
but feeble, if any. germicidal action,
whereas, if it be kept in contact for a
minute or two it may accomplish
something in that direction.
Now this is no argument in behalf
of lozenges in preference to sprays or
gargles. We think lozenges very
doubtful indictments. The point is
/ that it is a waste of time and money
using antiseptic solutions unless they
arc used to practical advantage. A So

THE FAVORITE FALLACY OF MILL
TARISM.

("Common Sense About Prepared
ness-Some Observations of a Mere
Civilian" by viii Irwin, in the Satur-
urday Evening Post of Jan. l, 1850
ITO begin with, what do we intend
to do? At present, simply to defend
and secure our own. Not one Ameri-
can in a thousand wants anything
more than that Defense, not con-
quest is the reasonable demand of
the American people. Here, | think.
is encountered the first danger in our
new defensive program. To raise
armies, to gain appropriations for
navies. munitions and equipment, we
must create popular enthusiasm. And
there is always the chance that we
shall create enthusiasm not for de-
tense, but for war itself-that we
shall set up in our land that religion
of valor which is the philosophy of
hell. Once start an enthusiastic peo-
pie like the Americans in any direc-
tons, and there is no telling where
they will stop. Already there is d
good deal of false doctrine abroad"
Now most of our political leaders
seem to think that a certain amount
of buncombe must be mixed with any
propaganda in order to make it go
down. Usually the buncombe is harm

trations. But this is dangerous bun
combe. Let the religion Of valor once
take hold, and defensive preparedness
may easily become aggressive pre-
paredneSs. From thoughts of war for
defense, our somewhat mercurial peo-
pie could easily be stampeded by the
idea of conquest-all the more easily
because It Is a new thing, and there is
no zeal like that of the newly convert
ed, If we are going to prepare, let us
in heavens name do it with reason and
with our eyes open.
NOW enters self-interest. Most OF
US Americans believe that among the
modern European peoples the Ger
mans had gone farthest with the re
ligion of valor. They appealed to US
as a people little mad over war. But
who worked up the madness? Very
largely the people who held stake in
war. The Krupp works contributed a
great deal to this debauch of civiliza-
ton. 1t is on record that before the
war the Krupps were spending $500,
900 year on press spreading the
religion of valor, so that all European
peoples should pay more and get more
for arms. And that was only one

ARGUS IS ONE OF THEM.

Money makes the mare go" is the
old saying. Hugh Chalmers has
changed it to advertising makes the
cars go" So firm is Mr.. Chalmers in
his belief that 81 100000 will be spent
this year telling the public about Chal-
mers cars.
Newspaper advertising is the back
bone of the Chalmers campaign,
though of course some of the great ma
tional weeklies and magazines are also
used. Paul Smith, vice president in
charge of sales, says this of newspap-
er advertising;
The local newspaper is the now
medium. 1t is the solar plexus blow
which hits at the door of each home in
each dealers town. And that means
sales now. The national weekly and
magazine is necessary, but the timely
blow is delivered by the daily paper in
each sales district. As a proof of our
absolute faith in this fact we are US
ing 1900 newspapers throughout the
country several times each month in
the campaign We are now waging." In
a recent talk to a board of commerce
Mr.. Chalmers said:
advertising increases my sales so
that | simply cannot afford to do with
out it. The only man who doesn't ad-
VertiSe is the one with so much bust
ness he can't handle it; or the man
with so little business it isn't worth
while. Our secret of advertising is as
simple as A. B. G.. Be honest, be SEN
sible and be persistent"
Backing up this Understanding
advertising, the Chalmers company is
upholding its standard of quality
first" in the 3,400 r p. m. six-30 Chal-
-mers and the results are phenomenal.
The combination of advertising AMI
quality. backed by service and aggres-
siye craftsmanship, has already put
more than ten thousand of these cars
in the hands Of owners. The OWNERS
are joining the newspaper in adver-
.tising and the company is building
22,0O0 more six-30s all Of which are
practically sold today in the demand
which has been created.
