Hats Of in Court!

A nice question Of manners was raised
in the Supreme Court when woman en-
oeavored to secure a temporary injunction
against the publishers of "Tipperary.'
She had engaged an attorney of her own
sex to lay her plea before the court, and
On the opening of the case the judges first
question was: Are you member of the
har?" eyes, your honor" was the reply.
Then" said he "you should remove your
hat like all other lawyers" Which, Of
course, she promptly did.
Now, it was obviously for the court to
decide on the point in question, and 1t Is
hardly possible that the most jealous de-
fender of women's rights could object to
the ruling. But, on the other hand, 1t Is
conceivable that the more old-fashioned
sort, if they think it worth while to defend
& woman who has intruded on mans do
main, may deem it unreasonable to insist
on conformity in this matter, and even go
so far as to argue that woman by re-
naming covered shows more respect than
by dof1ing her headgear in imitation Of
the male lawyer.
The position Of the women in such cases
is little difficult. A few summers ago at
some country church the female part Of
the congregation was openly rebuked from
the pulpit when some venturesome young
people appeared in church without hats.
The parson, moreover, was able to back his
rebuke with a reference to the teachings
CT st. Paul. "For it," he quoted, "a wom-
an be not covered let her also be shorn:
but if it be shame for woman to be
shorn or shaven, let her be covered"
st. Paul had very definite views on
this point and used an old Eastern super
stition to impress on woman the impor-
lance Of modesty. She ought, he main
tanned "to have power on her head"-or
"a sign of authority on her head" as the
Revised Version has it-"because of the
angels" Whether the angels are to be
taken into account in court of law is a
question that may be arguable, but St.
Paul's main point was there was natural
distinction in these things between men
and women. st. Paul was quite old-fash-
toned in his belief in what mature" taught
us, and he took it for an axiom that what
was dishonor to a man was a glory to a
woman.
The point is full Of difficulties, which
might be simplifed if only we had not
Al 4: II L 1,zl.
Oarristers. Our lawyers having no "sign
of authority the question must for the
present be left to the courts before which
they happen to appear. The best thing is
still to follow st. Paul's teaching. For
eager as he was to promote feminine mod
esty, he was no bigoted stickler for forms
and customs. "If any man seem con-
tentious," he said, Eve have no such
CUSTOM"

Mr.. Daniels and the Navy League
CFrom The Scientific American

(FrO1n The Scientific AWerfcdn)
What If to be the future Of the Navy
League? This is a question which Is on the
lips of many Americans who have watched
with amazement the occurrences OF the last
few weeks. An event has taken place which
we believe is without parallel in the history
of our country. An effort has been made by
the Secretary Of the Navy so to cripple the
activities Of a patriotic organization that it's
usefulness will be brought to an end.
1t is true, perhaps, that the league has not
been in sympathy with the Secretary of the
Navy. 1t has doubtless felt that the inter
ests of the navy were being jeopardized by
the retention in office, as the head of one Of
its most important departments in war times,
of one whom the league has regarded as a
man Of too many limitations to handle the
gigantic work which is placed upon his
shoulders. This feeling Of uneasiness and
distrust is shared by a very large part of
our thinking community. The Secretary has
shown himself TO be democratic and cordial
in his personal attitude toward the common
sailor, but most Independent autocrat and
disciplnaran as far as the service in gen.
cral is concerned, and particularly when his
own personal position was involved. This
is amply proved by the disciplning process
WhlCn ne mas uSeO IOWAIu SOME ol our nlRn
ranking officers who have drawn attention
to certain defects of our navy and thereby
incurred his displeasure.
The destruction or impairment Of the Navy
League would be distinct loss to the coun-
try and TO the navy itself, and the obnoxious
order which he has promulgated should now
be withdrawn in view of the retraction made
by the officers Of the league.
The demand made by the Secretary of the
Navy that the officers of the league should
resign is distinct interference with the
rights and privileges of the league, and is
a new method Of warfare conducted by the
head of 4 great department Of our govern
ment against an independent and patriotic
society. II such method Of coercion is
to be countenanced and is to be submitted
to by our people. is not a precedent being
established which is most dangerous TO the
liberties OF the public? If the work Of this
society is TO be crippled or destroyed because
the Secretary wishes TO inflict punishment
upon the president of the league, might we
not EXPECT that some other department head
Of our government might demand the resig
nation of the officers of the Red Cross or the
Allied Relief Society or some similar asso-
citation, because of a personal grievance?
The practice which has been introduced by
Mr. Daniels is too dangerous a one to be
passed over in silence or ignored by the PEG.
ple Of the United States.

Aliens and the Draft

The amendments offered in the House to
the Chamberlain alien draft bill make that
measure much more acceptable and work
able. The Senate voted to make all aliens
subject to CONSUMPTION, except enemy
aliens. In the selective CONSUMPTION act
Congress included all aliens in the popula-
ton on which the state draft quotas were
to be based. All foreigners were required
to register-even German subjects. But,
after registering, aliens were automatically
exempted. A grave injustice was thereby
done to the states in which there was a
large alien registration. The eligible citi-
zen population was compelled to bear a
double burden, first supplying its own
proper allotment and then supplying the
allotment of the ineligible aliens.
The government has now admitted the
unfairness of this arrangement. General
Crowder has recommended the passage Of
law conscripting aliens, as well as citi-
zens. The Chamberlain measure, which
the Senate adopted, applies that remedy,
but applies it without discrimination. A
wholesome incorporation of aliens into our
military population is not advisable.
Enemy subjects should certainly be ex-
cluded. 1t is against the usages of war to
compel them to bear arms against their
own government. 1t would also be foolish
to trust to their loyalty as soldiers. The
government has ample control over them,
regardless of any CONSUMPTION legislation.
1t may intern them and may use them in
non-military employments. We think that
it would also be a mistake in policy to
conscript the subjects of the governments
which are allied with Germany. These
governments are now virtually our enc
mics, and a declaration of war on their
part or on our part cannot be avoided
much longer. Austro- Hungarians, Bull
garians and Turks should not be con-
scripted. Those of them who are willing to
fight may be accepted, even now, as volun-
teers.
So far as the subjects of neutral govern
ments are concerned, we should be estab-
fishing a novel rule if we conscripted them
Internationally. The amendments pre-
pared in the House recognize the unwis-
dom of unconditional CONSUMPTION. They
permit the subject of neutral govern
ment, if drafted, to claim exemption on
the ground of alien allegiance. They also
admit the soundness of that claim, but seek
to deter alien neutrals from making 1t by
DENYING them the right of naturalization
thereafter and by threatening them with
deportation. 1t is doubtful whether the
government would care to make good its
deportation threat. We need labor, and
can hardly afford to drive able-bodied neu-
trails out of the country as penalty for
declining to denationalize themselves. They
can help to win the war by working as
well as by fighting.
With the subjects of governments which
are at war with Germany there can be
little difficulty. We have treaties with
Japan, Italy and Serbia exempting their
nationals from military service here. But
these treaties may be revised, if the United
States presses seriously for their revision.
