UnWiSdom of NeW Woman,s PQ1b
Use Women Big stcL :
identia Electio Result Disasrously IN the Pre-

With the organization of new political
faction in the United States-it cannot be
regarded as anything else but that-called
the womans party suffragists inaugurate a
departure Heretofore the American con-
testants for the ballot have considered it the
better part of wisdom to curry favor with all
parties, to supplicate those from whom they
must get the franchise rather than to threat
en- them. They have deemed it astute to
keep out of politics now so as to be sure
of getting into politics ultimately.
The woman's party now abjures these tao
tics 1t is significant that the moving spirits
in it are the leaders in the Congressional
Union, the youthful organization which has
come to be more or less of thorn in the
side of that redoubtable pioneer, DR.. Anna
Howard Shaw, and her co-workers in the
National Suffrage Association, writes M Liss
in the Philadelphia Evening Ledger.
1t cannot be denied that the Union is filled
with "pep," but it is an open question wheth-
err or not it is as seasoned as the parent asso-
citation from which it sprang. DR.. Shaw has
probably done more to shove forward the
woman's movement than any other living
person. The fact that she has not put her
sanction on the new woman's party should
give pause to those who look forward to the
speedy enfranchisement of women.
The contention of the old guard sutfra-
gists of which DIR. Shaw is the mentor, is
that the Susan B. Anthony, or any other fed
eral amendment, has absolutely no chance
of being successfully passed upon until one
or two influential Eastern states, such as
Pennsylvania, New York or Massachusetts,,
are won over to the cause. If the senators
and representatives in congress express the
wish of the majority of their constituents
then senators and representatives OF the
East could not conscientiously vote fayora-
bly, on the Susan B. Anthony amendment,

HERE'S TO LAUGHTER.

From the New York Herald.
Here's to laughter the sunshine of the
soul, the happiness of the heart, the leaven
of youth, the privilege of purity, the echo
of innocence, the treasure of the humble,
the wealth of the poor, the bead of the cup
of pleasure; it dispels detection, banishes
blues and mangles melancholy, for it is the
foe of woe, the destroyer of depression, the
enemy of grief; it is what makes kings envy
peasants. plutocrats envy the poor the gull
tv envy the innocent; it's the sheen on the
silver Of smiles, the ripple on the waters
delight; without it humor would be dumb,
wit would be withered. dimples would dis
appear and smiles would shrivel, for it's
glow of clean conscience, the voice of
pure soul, the birth cry of mirth, the swan
song of sadness.

Politics; Not Craftsmanship.

The pages of the esteemed Congressional
Record are crowded these days with out
bursts of partisan oratory, brought on by the
fact that this is presidential year and
that one prominent citizen of the Unit
ed States is striving with might and main to
displace another prominent citizen as the
nations chief executive. Instances Illus
trative of this are being more and more
familiar. In the senate only few days ago,
when the shipping bill came before that re-
putedly august body the senators relegated
it to temporary position of innocuous des-
uetude while they engaged in an all-day
wrangle as to the alleged merits and demer-
it's of Mr.. Wilson and Mr.. Hughes. Repub
icans vehemently aired their personal views
of the administration, and democrats, with
equal vehemence, defended the existing re-
gime and excorated its detractors.
If The News has the correct ideas as to
the duties of United States senators this does
not constitute a proper procedure. There
is time and place for all things, accord
ing to an ancient axiom, and there is unques-
tionably a time and a genial surrounding
for political debate; but the place is not the
floor of the senate and the time is not that
which is being paid for by the country's
electors and taxpayers. The honorable SEN
ators have certain prescribed duties to per-
form. They are salaried men, neither more
nor less, whose services are arranged for by
their respective constituents at so much per
day, and those constituencies have a right
to expect that the salaries shall be earned.
Assuredly they are not being earned when
the gentleman from this state or the gentle
man from that state arises in his place to sol
emily descant on matters affecting the per-
sonal ambition of Mr.. Wilson or Mr.. Hughes,
the while everyone forgets the real business
before the senate.
Get down to business first, and accord it
the attention it deserves. Then, but not in
the Congressional Record, we may play poll
ties to our hearts content.

Dollar Diplomacy.

The revival of dollar diplomacy" indi-
Gated by the proposed American loan OF
$50, 900, 900 to China is the answer of the
United States to the japanese designers on
the great republic of the Orient Since the
war began the European powers have been
too engrossed with their own affairs to take
an active part in the exploitation of China,
but Japan has more than made up for their
enforced inactivity She has demanded and
obtained utterly unwarrantable concessions
and privileges of the land of her big neigh
Dor, threatening even war to obtain her ends
Torn with revolution and badly in need of
money China was unable to resist Japanese
aggression, and was forced to meet the
wishes of Japan.
China's need of money through the drying
up of the European sources of supply Of
fered Japan a golden opportunity to clinch
her hold on the republic. Lately she has
been trying to get China to accept loan
from her for the reorganization of the adj
ministration 1t was a case of the Greeks
bearing gifts, and China refused the prof
fered aid and began the present negotiations
for loan in the United States.
The loan will act as powerful wedge to
prevent the closing of the "open door" of
Chinese trade which Japan seems to be work
ing for strenuously. 1t will mean increased
American trade with China. and is thorough
" in line with the growing idea in American
business and financial and also official cir
cles that to increase our foreign trade we
must be prepared to invest money abroad

of the boil weevil than are those of many
other counties of the state. In the past two
years not single carload of feedstuff, bacon
or other supplies has been shipped to Daw-

to that time hundreds of car loads of west

hundreds of thousands of dollars to farmers

DURING THE AUTUMN or LIFE
Are the Years After FIFTY the Best or
the Worst?

When men pass the half-ccntury
mark they usually regard themselves
as going down hill. A writer in tho
American Magazine disputes this leg
end and says:
"a discovery which | made by
talking with those who were really
living In the later period was that
many Of them regarded their expert
cnce of life In the advancing years as
the best part OF the whole. II did not
appear ON the surface; II was not any
marked success before the world, and
II would not appeal, perhaps, to those
in the earlier life, but many Of those
people told me they felt that they
were living the happicst days of all
There seems to be n mysterious quail
ity OF life In these later years which
is not found in the earlier part, some
thing that is worth while in the living
OF 1t. and no one has had all OF human
life until he has been through these
years and found II.
Then, and not before, | came back
to the conviction that one who has at
tanned half century of clean, honest
living is worthy of congratulatIon;
that he ought to pass his fiftieth birth
day without n particle of dread as to
his future years and understand that
the greatest opportunity of his life Is
yet before him.

Place yourself for n moment in the
position of a telegraph company Of
fetal who is erecting the wires for
the telegraph between New York
and San Francisco. After erecting
mile upon mile of poles and copper
wire. costing about TWENTY-FIVE o. ..S
pound, he finds that he now has n
way TO carry the current from the
one city to the other, but he must
have some way to get the current
back again, as the electricity must
have a complete circuit and get back
TO the source. Naturally he would
try to find some way to have the
current return other than the eN-
pensive wire. Looking upou Io
earth. he wonders If It. with its tre-
mendous size. will not be able to
