The Woman Weeps
BY Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank Crane,

IL was reported that when her name
was first called in the national assembly
Miss Jeanette Rankin, the first woman
TO hold seat in the council of the ma
ton wept and voted no" upon the cues
ton OF declaring war upon Germany.
| understand her vote. If she wept |
honor her tears
would have voted yes. am in favor
of this war. | think we are entirely
justified in entering at this time. and in
the worthy and dignified way indicated
10y the President, into the huge struq-
gle ito make the world safe for democ-
racies.
But
] should be sorry if the people of this
country could not see the peculiar sig
nlticance of the first woman delegate reg
lSterlng her vote against war.
Important as it is that we defend our
nights II IS even more necessary that
some protest should be made against the
internal stupidity and wickedness of the
nations for so conducting their affairs
as to make war possible.
With little intelligent cooperation
they might have reduced their arma-
ments so that no vainglorious dynasty
could have dreamed of the glory of con-
quest.
If they had been less heedful of the
promptings of national egotism and more
concerned in the welfare Of the people
they would have devised some interna-
tional council backed by sufficient forcs
to hold the fretful world in awe"
Because we did not do this we are now
paying the dread penalty. Germany is
most TO blame, because her sin is AFRO
giant and forthputting But all the rest
of us are to blame for our almost equal
sin of omission, in that we did not see
into what horrible pit lack of world
concert would lead Us
Therefore let the woman weep Let
America weep as she draws her justi-
fable sword, weep that mankind stiIl
knows no way but the beast way Of
slaughter to arrange her governments
weep that thousands of splendid boys
must be torn in red death to pay for
the error Of fatuous, medieval minded
politics
We would prosecute this war in a
worthier spirit if, while it lasts, women
would wear only black, if no social gath
ering were held for amusement merely
if we refrained from feasting and laugh
ter, if every church of the outraged
Christ were hung in mourning.
This war is just and unavoidable. But
no Judge laughs while he sentences a
criminal to death no man can escape a
feeling Of revulsion when he is compelled
to shoot a burglar, no mother enjoys it
when she is forced to discipline hcr
child: and America goes into this con-
aic, with a breaking heart, to think that
80 many honest loyal men, both German
and non German, must be destroyed 20
correct the ignorance and folly of their
governors.

A Blow At the Auto
Industry Is a Blow AT
Detroit and Michigan

Michigan has never failed 20 Go her
duty in any war
Her resources in men and money have
always been at the disposal Of the eoun-
try.
In a few days thousands Of flags on
thousands Of sunken graves in our Gem
eteries viii demonstrate Willingness
when the fate of the union was at stake
that remains Willingness" today when
the struggle is for world democracy and
world peace.
Michigan cannot be charged with any
desire or attempt 20 shirk its share Of
the present war burden in resenting ac-
ton by congress which would be impos-
ing upon the states willingness" and
discriminating against one Of our prin-
cipal industries by exacting from it more
than its just share of war taxes.
The schedule of war taxation will ex-
empt. up to profits Of eight per cent, cor
porations like the meat packers, munition
makers, the Standard Oil company the
Harvester trust, and SO on but from the
automobiles of Detroit and Michigan it
intends to demand a tax of five per cent
upon the list price of automobiles. or
gross income.
Detroit automobile manufacturers
whose patriotism is unquestioned say it
cannot be done without gripping the in
dustry and putting a considerable Of it
out of business.
They claim that this tax, in addition to
other taxation, would, in many instances,
wipe out profits entirely
We do not understand tito be the aim
of this country while at wan to take" any
cities in the United States, but. if these
automobile manufacturers are correct in
their figures and in their fears over the
effect of this five per cent tax, German
artillery with Busy Berthas' lined up
at the city limits, co-operated with by
German U-boats in Lake Erie, could not
strike Detroit more serious or damag-
ing blow.

A war successfully prosecuted from
the standpoint of our country's greatest
advantage ought to leave al of our in
dustries intact-it must be prosecuted so
that we will suffer LEAST at home.
The closing of an automobile factory
would throw the workers in that factory
out of work.
1t cannot be argued that they could 60
to war, unless those who might advance
that argument are willing to assume a
position Numerically opposed to the
theory of selective CONSUMPTION.
The idea of selective CONSUMPTION is
not to enlist men in lunches, indiscrimi-
nately, and it should not be the purpose
of the government to throw out Of en-
ployment in punches, indiscrminately,
when it is the scheme that the country
will be best served by certain men re-
naming at home in needful and sustain
ing service.
The government seeks to provide in Sc
lective CONSUMPTION against paralyzing
the industries
An automobile tax of five per cent on
profits is, therefore, inconsistent with
that purpose.
That is the position of the automobile
manufacturers and it appears to be po-
sition taken upon very solid ground.
Michigan's representatives in congress
are playing a lone hand against solid
front presented by the other states.
They have been unable to secure as
yet even the very slight concession Of an
extra half hour added TO measly half
hour that has been allotted the automo-
bile makers for hearing in Washing
ton.
The idea of the congressman from the
other states seems TO be that the more
Michigan contributes toward the war the
less their states viii have "a contribute.
N And it seems> to be their further idea
that the automobile is luxury that the
people Of the country might better do
without while we are at war.
The automobile is one Of the reasons
