politician Third"

Something like a miracle happened in
the State of Oregon at the last election.
Alone of states beyond the Missouri it gave
its electoral vote to Hughes. Various rea-
sons have been unearthed. Latest and
most picturesque stands Mrs. h. b. Hanley,
of the Rogue River Valley, manager of a
pig and turkey ranch, mother of two at
tractive children, and the most successful
campaigner the state produced on the Re-
publican side.
Her portrait, grazing a page in THE
Sunset Magazine" shows a pleasant,
shrewd and thoroughly charming face. As
for her stunt, she sold a couple of pigs in
the midst of the late campaign, took the
train to Portland, and made there her first
political speech. Or rather she just talked.
Her success was instantaneous. The pigs
had to look out for themselves while she
stumped the state. She brought home to
Rogue Valley on Election Day box full
of Wilson buttons, thrown on the platform
during her speeches by converted Wilson
ties who hit the Hughes trail. And Will
son lost the state by 6,726 votes Also her
son Junior" became equipped with very
satisfactory and expressing box of but
tons.
When Mrs. Hanley among her turkeys,
pigs and children, was asked for COM
ment upon it all. she remarked: 81 am
mother first, wife second and politician
third" Which seemed very fitting con-
clusion to the most unusual stumpng tour
in the history of Oregon. Such ratings
are always difficult things to determine
Mrs. Henley's rings true and prophetic
We seem to foresee cheerful hour coming
when mothers and wives will take an
amazing interest in politics, thereby de-
ranging hopelessly our present system Of
professionally conducted patriotism. Con-
fusing it will be, yes. But quite as thrill
ing and entertaining as Mrs. Hanley was
to the State of Oregon. Fathers first, and
husbands second, will be obliged to debate
with mothers and wives-and all will be
politicians third. Goodness knows how
frequent miracles may become in such a CO.

German Excuses for the Submarine

"The New Republic" in an smiable en-
deavor 10 be fair all round insists that we
have never been really neutral" and
while justifying our Partially In favor of
Germany's foes makes bold to say that "if
we had not Disseminated against Germany
she would have been deprived Of her pres
ent excuse for using her submarines as
commerce destroyers and probably would
never have done Sc"
AS far as excuses go, Germany has never
been at a loss. Long before it entered into
open war with neutral nations it found
sufficient excuse for sinking neutral mer-
chant vessels in "the misuse of neutral
flags ordered by the British government"
1t even pretended to believe that the cap
tain of the Lusitania tried to disguise that
INDISPENSABLE ship by flying the flag Of the
United States. When the Lusitania was
subsequently sunk the German excuse was
that she undoubtedly had guns on board
which were mounted under decks and
masked" Again when it was resolved the
other day that hospital ships, too, must be
sunk without warning, there was no diff
Guilty in finding the appropriate excuse:
the imperial government had convincing
evidence" it was explained, that hospital
ships were used to transport troops. Nor is
there anything TO be gained by deprivlng
the German government of excuses, for
when one is taken away another is instant
ly ready.
But, excuses apart, "The New Republic"
thinks submarines would never have been
used at all as commerce destroyers "if we
had not Disseminated against Germany "
This is, indeed, surprising conjecture.
Long before Germany had begun TO bar

When we come, however, to consider the
dilemma Of New York City we see no
light. Young women In this city can find
dozens OF occupations better paid and
pleasanter than presiding over a roomful
of unattractive, noisy children under the
present nerve wracking regime The high
school girls who have turned away from
training school have probably been in
formed that the prospect for the future
grows worse instead of better. A recent
ruling to the effect that no classroom shall
contain less than forty children makes
nervous prostration inevitable and de-
prives the young enthusiast Of the only
hope Of real happiness in teachng-that
is. the spiritual rewards which come from
human interest contacts with her pupils.
Why should young girls dedicate them
selves to this slavery? Not for money
certainly. Unless they look forward to the
time when they are fifty years old and
school principals, they will see no magic
sum to dazzle their young eyes. FIFTY

many attractions to the mind of twenty

souls are altruistic and whose nerves are

thought twenty years ago, that teaching is
the only career for girl.

Vacation and Efficiency

II Is the change. really more than the rest,

and even atrophic, to exercise and develop.

Cut Traffic COMPOSITIONS Cost

There is no lack of interest in the sug-
gestion that a commission be appointed TO
work out a general plan for solving the
rapidly growing traffic problem, and no
lack of good arguments in favor of that
course. The City Club and the Safety
First Society, which have joined the group
of advocates of this plan, present a point
in favor of its prompt adoption. I'VE are
convinced" runs a statement they have
sent to the Board of Estimate and Appor-
tionment. chat the sooner the City of New
York undertakes to solve the street prob
lem in a comprehensive way the more sat
isfactory will be the results and the
cheaper the cost to the taxpayers and users
of the city streets"
By no possibility can this problem be
minimized. Police Commissioner Woods
has said that his men, who do the best
they can in the way of regulation, have
reached their limit in handling the street
traffic. Business men know the huge an
nual increase in operating expenses which
time lost through street congestion means
to them. The Police Department and the
Safety First Society know what congested
streets cost each year in injuries and
deaths. These are handicaps which a city
cannot afford to permit to exist. They
are too costly, these conditions-too costly
in money and in lives. The sooner they
are attacked "in a comprehensive way"
the cheaper, assuredly, if the saving of
money to the business men Of the city and
the saving of lives be taken into account.
AS a result of the districting ordinance,
the manufacturing and mercantile dis
tricts of the city are likely to take fairly
we'll defined form and be in future more
permanent than they have ever been in
this community of real estate speculation
and sudden movings. This will make pos
sible the working out of street plans on a
large and permanent scale, as task OF
this nature should be undertaken, rather
than on the basis Of affording some tenn
porary relief to this locality or that
through some means that might interfere
with the carrying out Of general plan of
betterment. If, as the City Club and the
Safety First Society believe, the work of
the proposed commission could be carried
on by the staff of the committee on city
plan of the Board Of Estimate, with little
if any additional expenditure at the pres
ent time" there seems to be left scant
ground for argument against the early APP
pointment of such commission and the be-
ginning of its investigation.

ANTI-SUFFRAGIST BENEFACTlONS

To the Editor OF The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: SuTragists are like "a man on the
fence. Catching them coming and going It
makes good copy" to say that "suhragsts
offer 100000 women TO aid in war but the
history Of woman suffrage propaganda proves
the shallowness of this latest grandiloquent
resolution"
When the war broke out in Europe over
two years ago, Mrs. Arthur VI. Dodge, presi-
dent of the National Anti-Suffrsge Assoeis-
ton, proposed in public letter that sufra-
gists stop all agitation for the ballot during
the continuance Of the war, so that all
women, suffragists and otherwise, might de-
vote themselves unstintingly and unremit-
tingly to Red Cross and relief work. This
offer was refused by suffrage organizations
throughout the country and their activities
in America have never been so great as
during the last two years.
They adopted the slogan Suffrage First"
and in 1915 resolved to boycott all pillar
thropical work. Their members were fur
nished with printed cards refusing to aid any
charity ION account Of the deferred enfra9-
chisement OF women" This position was re-
at the beginning Of the present year at the
suffrage convention in Albany
Recently, Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait an
nounced that suffrage organizations colec:
and spend 100000 a year, and said that
the Leslie legacy of S2,500,000 would not take
the place of regular suffrage contributions,
but would be devoted TO suffrage education"
Mrs. Gait, lane Adams Charlotte Per
kins Gilman, MaIy .Aaw. Rose Pastor Stokes.
Mrs. Norman Whitehouse. Alice Carpenter.
Mrs. Frank Cothren, Mrs. Amos Pinchot and
other prominent sufragists have been the
supporters and leaders of the "pacihst' move
ment, and perhaps have done more than any
other influence in this country to discourage
patriotism in certain quarters, and to lower
the vitality of democracy.
AS for the promise to give their service
to their country" this is what every organi-
cation should do, and what every woman
worthy of the name always has done and al
ways will do. Certainly it is no more than
men stand ready to do. In fact, it is probably
in the power of the government to conscrlpt
women for "women's service
Il is notable that more than year ago
both the national and New York State Asso-
Citations Opposed to Woman Suffrage went on
record for preparedness, and that they have
approved universal military training.
When the European war broke out the
headquarters of both the national and New
York anti-suffrsge organizations we're trans
formed into Red Cross receiving stations,
and since then every public affair given by
the anti-sufragists up TO the present moment
has divided its receipts with relief work Of
one kind or another.
Every woman at the head or the anti-sut-
frage cause is a generous and transformations
giver to every form of philanthropy.

"Now as Before"

II is now possible to estimate correctly
the precise value of the negotiations into
which the German government has been
cndeavoring in the last few days to draw
the government of the United States. Al
ter some preliminary maneuvring 1t has
allowed the Swiss Minister to declare IN
writing that it SIS, now as before, willing
to negotiate, formally or informally, with
the United States, provided that the com
mercial blockade against England will not
he broken thereby" In other words, Ger
many is content 10 free itself Of the irk-
some consequences Of its recent decree on
the single condition that the cause shall
not be removed.
Surely no more insolent proposal was
ever put forward in the guise Of friendly
overture. After repeated and outrageous
provocation we finally broke off relations
with Berlin on the occasion of the amazing
proclamation of January 81, and now the
aggressor graciously invites US to discuss
the matter at leisure, waving for the pres
ent our particular grievance as thing
that does not interest Germany.
The object. as in the case of the Kaiser's
reace proposal is obviously to gain time
The imperial government desires, no doubt,
10 discuss those difficulties and peculiari-
ties Of Germany's position" which we are
told our government never clearly under
stood. If only we could be caught once
more i'm the meshes of note-writing 1t
would be easy to keep US amused and pro-
coed with the task Of ruthless destruction
and slaughter at sea.
There was only one possible answer to
30 preposterous an offer. The first step
toward negotiation is the withdrawal Of
the offending proclamation. No discussion,
formal or informal, with an outlaw is
conceivable.
