beyond the shadow of doubt
that what is one mans meat
may be another mans poison. And. as
if that were not disagreeable enough
state of affairs. we now read that one
mans abstinence from meat may be an
other mans financial ruin. The butcher,
we are told in the new chapter of war
economies. must live. and if we abstain
from meat. what is there left for him to
do but starve? 1t is too frightful to
think about.
When we first saw in the papers that
there was nothing left for us to do but
60 into the war, we began good-natured-
" to do the right thing by the situation.
Flags were unfurled, and we incorporat-
ed into our speech such accepted war
phrases as doing his BIZ" Stacker"
and conscientious objector." And, OF
course, we began to plan on how we
could economic. That was the least
that we could do, especially if we hap
pened to be over age or near-sighted.
There were all kinds of luXuries that we
found could be done away with, and we
were just beginning to glow with salts
faction at the thought of how we were
helping things along (and really at such
little inconvenience to ourselves), when,
suddenly, an ominous cloud hove IN
sight. increasing momentarily, until it
now has assumed terrific proportions.
1t began with a nervous appeal from
the Retail Dry Goods Association to the
women of America, beseeching them not
to indulge in "hysterical economy to
the extent of economizing on their
clothes. Cut down the food wastes.
Surely. That is all right. But don't get
rabid on the subject and skimp in dress
materials. That would be reductto dd
absurdum. Furthermore, did you ever
stop to think what economy in dress
goods would mean? No, the Retail Dry
Goods Association thought not. Well,
il would mean that thousands and thou
sands of drygoods employees would be
thrown out of work That's what 1t
would mean. 1t would mean women and
girls walking the streets looking for
work: it would mean hungry babies cry
ing for bread and little cottages falling
into decay, simply because the women OF
America gave in to popular whlm,
national hysteria, and cut down on their
drygoods expenditures.
And it sounds reasonable, too. 1t had
me quite convinced, until the next day
read an appeal. printed in Minneapolis,
representing the millers' side of the
question. This said that, of course, econ
omy was a good thing in general, and
that people could very well economic IN
their clothing, but when it came to cut
ting down on their food they were just
lending themselves to short-sighted
hysteria, which could end nowhere but
in the ruin of thousands of grocers,
butchers and bakers throughout the
country.
Then came the Brewers Association.
They felt the thing pretty keenly. The
proposition to prohibit the manufacture
of liquor during the war seemed to them
to be nothing short of vandalism. 1t
wasn't so much themselves that they
cared for, but it was their employees and

ARE WOMEN PEOPLE?

Is not an ideal man?

The Great Half-DemOcrats

"The world" said Mr. Root, the ether
day, Cannot exist half-democratic and
half -autocratic."
Until Mr.. Root becomes a suffragist
we suggest that before he makes one of
his speeches on democracy he recite the
following lines:
Democracy will be my theme,
Democracy for men alone;
Because, you see, | cannot deem
Democracy is still my thence
That women are or even seem
Like people-not the ones I've known.
Democracy will be my theme,
Democracy for men alone.
We are glad Mr.. Root is going to
Russia He may get converted to full
democracy there.
But we must advise him against say
ing to Catherine Breshkovsky and the
other returning eXiles, as he has said so
lightly to his own countrywomen
Woman rules to-day by the sweet and
noble influence of her character. Put
woman into the arena of conflict and she
abandons these great weapons which
control the world, and she takes into her
hands, feeble and nerveless for strife,
weapons with which she is unfamiliar
and which she is unable to WELD"
If he said this, the Russians might
not think that we had sent them our
wisest and best.

Another of Those Condolences.

Two bills at Albany, which under
cover of being war measures are actu
ally designed to remove the present
legal projections from the labor of
women and children. The following
organizations, among others, have pro-
tested against them: The Child Labor
Committee, the Women's Trade Union
League, the Consumers League, the
Young Womens Christian Association
and the New York State Woman Suf-
frage Party.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-05-06

The bills were introduced by Senator
Elon r. Brown. Yet, Senator Brown, in
speaking against suffrage, recently said:
Il am opposed to woman suffrage be-
cause it conflicts with my ideals of man.

the qualities of the ideal man is the re-
serve force to save and protect women
and children from the aggressor."

Two years ago. Mr.. Henry l.. Stimson
wrote a tract for the anti-suffragists,
in which he said: Take for example
that basic fundamental duty of every
nation living in world still ruled in the
last event by force-the duty of prepa-
ration for self-defence. Par
ticipation in the decision of such ques-
tons by woman, who is not only wholly
ignorant of the methods of force, but
whose very nature shrinks from the
thought of it, cannot but be source of
peril to the government which permits
it,

which the officials have to meet is
that of explaining to the wives, sis

PETROGRAD, Aug. 4.-Premier
Kerensky and all the members of the
cabinet resigned today, later with
drawing their designations at the re-
quest of a delegation of representa-
tives. Foreign Minister M. Pokrovsky
refused to reconsider his resignation
and will no longer serve.
The designations resulted from &C
cusatiens against Minister of Agric-
ultureG Tchernikoff and complete
breakdown of negotiations to bring
constitutional amendments before the
cabinet. M. Tchernikoff was accused
of having been connected with the
German general staff in the late up
rising against the Gear.
An attempt will be made to recon-
struct the cabinet with M. Kerensky
as presiding officer. The new mem
hers will be exclusively from the So
cialist and radical parties Of the re-
public.
