decided that they will support the amendment hoping to secure it's adoption and thus compel States to grant votes 10 women in order to their representa- tion in Congress But t would do more than that it would cause States to remove educational tests for voters the requirements of citizenship residence registration and many other things that serve to limit the number Of votes It might induce them to reduce the voting age to something less than 21 years and something more than the word.sping
 The sooner the people discover tho fact that the voting women in the woman suffrage States better representatives of the women of America than the agatng suiIragetes Of the East the better it will be for the cause of votes for When they do that they will gain the knowledge that after all the only way to secure woman suffrage is to carry one State after another for that proposition That is what they will have to do in the end. Even the PondeXter amendment would have to be ratified by thirty-siN States before 1t would be effective It is easy to carry thlry-sx States for woman suffrage directly as would be to carry that many for some fantastic Constitutional amendment and when State is carried directly the women of that State may begin voting without waiting for a Constitutional amendment Give
 the women of thIrtysix States the suffrage and all O. them will have 1t within two years
 The foolishness of the manner the Eastern wo- men are proceeding was disclosed by the vote for President last fall President Wilson, Q believer and supporter of woman suffrage favors the State after state plan The Eastern women asked for his defeat.

ANOTHER BRYAN VICTORY

st one time or another nearly every one in the United States has felt like expressing extreme impa uguee because Of osmcthing sprung by Bryan, and most people have done so. Bryan has always had a remedy for the chief il. of the hour. And he has very active habit of starting something when no ih Is in sight Yet there has been probably no man in the Nations history who has been eXcoriaed for his positions on questions of concern and lived to his detractors supporting the things that he was con demned for suggesting.
 Probably nothing that was ever suggested by Bry- an was attacked severely than his proposal Tor government guarantee of bank deposits. This remedy was advanced for the ills growing out of the panic Of lQO7 The plan was one of the principal issues of the 1908 campaign and it was no sooner proposed than it was attacked from ocean to ocean and Canada to Gulf However 1t was adopted in Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and few other States where they think well of Bryan

WILSON'S ACHIEVEMENT


 It is nothing to be surprised at that the whole nation is supporting the President it is un;hinkabo that it should be any other way; but h is a matter for remark in view of the history of American opinion during the past two years that this support is beng rendered with by every group and element going % make up the American composite The nation is united not only in fundamental loyalty. but also in opinion. which is a very different thing.
 There may be no doubt about the facts. Henry Cabo, Lodge and Augustus p. Gardner stand where stands the GermanAmercan press; Henry Ford pa cGSt announces yhlt Ee wiu offer his great factory b the government for operation without profit. The reason for this singular unaamity is Co be found ir the exceptional quality of President Wilson's leader ship.
 Within the past two months the President has sought to hasten the end of the by direct demand for a formulation of the terms upon which the two groups of belligerents would respectively conclude peace One group has responded. Not satisfied with that he has gone on to outline in his recent address the Senate platform for world peace; the recog nitiou of the consent of the governed" principle, freedom or the seas. limitation of armament, the preservation of peace by concert of power of all nations instead Of balance of power between com pettive groups of nations. He has called for the application of the Monroe Doctrine to the world the end of forc5e imposition of alien overlordship and institutions upon unwilling peoples, the right of urfcttereG expression Of the genius O. every people in .;s government.
 These uttcrauces and enteayors have been the offspring of vision and fatth-yis.on Of a time when war shall be no more; faith that the gracious world process which has done away with private vengeance and enabled German and Freuchman, Bulgar and Serb Russian and Turk to live in peace in the United States will not stop short of the conquest of inevna t,onal relations also
 Now tha. the President has been forced, by Germauys announced intention Of indiscrminate de- struction of merchant ships in the face Of specific treaties to break of diplomatic relations. there is not an American citizen who does not know that the action was taken only after the most strenuous and earnest effort not only to preserve the friendly rea t!ons subsistng between this country and the Ger man people for century and quarter, but to pro claim new doctrine of international relations to lay foundation for a new ard stable peace among the nations of the world
 We are all united in loyalty to our country as a matter of course But our oneness goes beyond that. One hundred million men and women of all stocks and races are united their view of the ent crisis united in their aspiration to seek peace through concert of all nations rather than through balance of national auimosities and fears. And it s Woodrow Wilson who has revealed to us-chiIdren ,f diverse stocks and diverse sympathies-Our unity n this purpose and this hope. O

NO POLITICAL GENERALS
CNew York World

(New York WOrld)
 f an emergency requiring call for volunteers should arise Congress will be shoTtsghted indeed II it does not at the same time eliminate the political general. Something has been done in this derection ia the new Army Bill which provides that all off, ce-s of the National Guard shall be men who have had practical theoretical training in military science
 Even more important than this would be similar rule covering the entire volunteer organization in time of war. Political Coonels and Generals were the curse of the Union armies in 1865 Their worthless ness was not the serious indictment against them. They were always in the way of better men, and get rid of them it often became necessary to give them Undeserved promotions and then relieve them of command.
 Thre are enough trained soldiers in the United States to officer great army in all the higher grades Tn case of war these should not be set aside for politicians. who usually demand and receive rank to which they have no claim. There may be good reason for the appointment of civilians to high rank for staff service the responsible commands should go to the trained and experienced officers of the regular army.

ANOTHER LOAN TO ALLIES
LIKELY TOBE AUTHORIZED
First Allotment of $3,000,0oa 600
Already About Half Exhausted.

The authorized loan OF 5000. DOT, 900
to the allies is nearly half exhausted
and will be entirely so in three or four
months. Congress probably will be
asked. before adjournment. to author
ize another gigantic loan. possibly of
$4,000. 100000
The amount of credits extended to the
allies is already $l.3o3. 900, 900. Loans
are being made at the rate of $3.50. 000,-
900 month. The financial policy of
the administration appears to be to con-
tinue financing the allies throughout
the war.
Total credits of the allies probably
will approximate $1.5c0, 100000 by July
Is. three months after the, signing OF
the war finance bill under which au-
thority for the loan was given by Con-
gress Should the loans during the next
three months be at the same rate as
during the past three, the entire So
000.0e0.G00 Will be exhausted by Oc-
tober 81.
without authority by Congress the
, government cannot exceed the S3,0G0.-
100000 limit named in the bill and the
next session of Congress will not con-
vene until December
Al the rate OF lending during the last
three months an annual loan of S6.000,-
100000 would be made abroad. all the
funds, OF course. being spent in this
country for foodstuffs. munitions and
other supplies.
Estimated costs to the American gov
ernDent for its military and naval estab-
lishments during the first year of war
were placed at approximately $4,000
100000 soon after war was declared.
The total of these two items. it is be-
ieved. was the figure Secretary McAdoo
had in mind when he declared in his re-
cent speeches on behalf of the liberty
loan that the government would be called
upon to raise $4,000. 100000 during the
first year of war
Present indications are that Congress
will remain in session till late in October
and that the war revenue bill will be
| among the last Of the big measures to be
disposed of. 1t is not unlikely that au-
! thorzation for the additional loan to the
allies, when sought, will be taken up
about the same time, possibly as an
amendment to the revenue bill
