THE. WOMEN MAY WIN.

If the women of the full-suffrage states can keep
|ogether during this presidential campaign, they
nay win for their unfranchised sisters the ballot
low welded in twelve of the commonwealth.
But it is a large if. .
During the recent Chicago conventions the
Homen had AN unparalleled opportunity to stamp
heir demands into the party platforms. They got
satisfactory suffrage plank into the Progressive

Snfrage but adds the statement that this is matter
Tor the states to decide.
This position is precisely that of the Democrats,
md the Democratic juggling of the Susan B. An
fhony amendment has raised the ire of millions of
foting and non-voting women.
In eleven states the women have full SUI
frage privileges. They control ninetyone electoral
votes. There are 100000 women voters. If they
can stand together-again the big 'if'-they could
easily force candidate to meet their demands OF
defeat him. @..~..- .yt

a duty which she performed With
cleyerness and grace.
Dean Leusehner. after telling OF
Prof. Gayley's disappointment at not
being able TO be in Honolulu, dwelt
upon the close INTERPRETATION that has
always existed between Michigan aud
California and spoke of the large debt
California owes 10 Michigan. quoting
the mares of large number Of CALI
fornia professors who had come from
Michigan At the request Of the
assembled company he also told some
thing of the problems and interest OF
his work in astronomy, treating .
somewhat technical and complicated
subject with such clarity and SIM
plicity as to prove himself master not
only of his subject but equally so Of
the refinefnents Of English. In lighter
vein he told some amusing incidents
that had come within his own expert
ences and all in all acquitted himself
In such fashion that the local alumni
and alumnae feel that they have just
cause to be proud Of their representa-
tive.
At the close Of the dinner the kicht
gan alumni gathered about the piano
to sing The Yellow and Blue" their
university hymn, which was followed
by the Michigan Locomotive Yell !"
The Californians shortly replaced
them to sing "All Hail, Blue and
Gold,9 which was followed BY husky
"oski."
A most delightful evening was
closed by few dances on the Country
Club floor to the music OF the same
Hawaiian orchestra which had played
during the dinner.

ANsExERcIsE IN. RED TAPE.

There is certainly Justice to the complaints of

property under the department of public instruction
The mass and maze of figures to be made out
b the principals and the impossibility Of yaluing
Iese correctly without trotting all over the city,
1f IN other towns, seeking cost prices makes the
Inventory both q burden on the principals who
ave to handle it and heterogeneous collection
b Information Of doubtful reliability after it is
.ecured.
hey may leave the spaces blank, the superintend-
int announces and that is precisely what the teach
|fs are said to be doing in innumerable instances.
The inventory is thus practically valueless except
IS an exercise in red tape.

Hawaii is not the only part of the Union which
finds its congressional representative not on the
Job" Pennsylvania congressman so lax that
the Philadelphia Ledger feels called upon to re-
mark: 1.-THE Public Ledger has repeatedly called
attention to the notorious dereliction of number
of the Pennsylvania members of Congress in the
matter of attention to the duties for which they
were chosen. Senator Penrose S absences have been
especially notorious; and some of the members of
the House have records Of nattention hardly less
discreditable If this absenteeism confined
to the Republican members, some weight might be
attached to the excuse that the opinions and votes
of the minority are not needed in committee work
or in general debate; but the record of several of
the Democratic representatives is no better"

Still, the tide Of equal suffrage is rising so
powerfully that its becomes matter of easy
prediction. Hawaii pays little attention to this
matter and the women of Hawaii have never shown
a strong. concerted desire for vote; but the vote
may be given them almost ere they know it.

Nobody can blame the German fleet for retiring
from the field of battle in the North Sea wheli
confronted by an overwhelmingly superior force,
yet victory that leaves the enemy in possession
of that field is hardly one that justifes the I'M
restrained jubiation in which some of the German
newspapers appear to have been indulging. The
world is sti-very far from being in possession of
the facts upon which to base judgment, but there
is some ground for believing that the disparity
in losses was not so great represented in the
German reports and that the British have less
son for encouragement than appeared to be the
case when the early bulletins were first issued

A Discriminating ALLIANCE

The President turned an effective
phrase when he insisted that he op-
posed any sntangling alliance, but
would be In vevor Of a disentangling
engagement; such an one as the plan
of the League for the Enforcement
of Peace. 1t is we'll enough to re-
tain our reverence for the precepts
of the fathers with regard to foreign
complications; but the world has
been remade since Washington's
farewell address. Who dares ex-
press confidence TINT Washington,
had he lived with this generation,
would insist on the dictum laid down
in that address?
It must be understood that any
"disentangling alliance" would yet
be an alliance, and would involve
very real and definite obligations on
our part. Thus, it can scarcely be
doubted that in world whose peace
was guaranteed by proper cooper.

MENACINd THE MAGAZINES

Magazines occupy peculiar and
distinctive field in this country. They
furnish the basis for much of our
thought about national issues. One
has only to read history of tine
magazine development in the United
States, now running in a literary
periodical, to realize the important
part they have played in the thought
of the times. The magazines have
been pioneers in many reform move
ments later written into law, and
they have introduced to the reading
public a majority of the literary
leaders of the last half century.
Any handicap placed on the quick
and free distribution of magazines
is aimed at the reading public, not
alone at the publishers. The extent
of the investment in the magazine
business should be sufficient to in
sure it against the pickayune legis-
lation contained in the postoffice ZAP
preparation bill. This measure gives
the Postmaster General the right to
consign magazines out Of any city to
freight transportation. The claims
of the public cry even louder than
those of the publishers. Congress Is
more than likely to hear from the
former element before the fight
against this clause is over.
The present situation is anomo.
