was a new light in the darkness.
Great sacrifice was required of these

Times have changed. Suffrage is no
longer sneered at. 1t is an accomplish
ed fact in the western states.
Il is said 70 have swung the presiden-
tial election in 1916, and this would seem
to be true from the fact that legislatures
in the east have changed their apathetic
or hostile attitudes and have fastened to
pass bills granting presidential suffrage
TO women in a number Of states.
II is practically national fact, tho
America, which stood sponsor for the
movement. has been outStripped by Nor

Zealand, Iceland, Canada and now Eng

With so many of the women of the
United States enfranchised. the 'Wom-
ans Journal believed it time to change
its name and Tin a measure) its charac-
ter.
1t is still the journal of ideals. Of high
est principles. of loftiest purposes. but 1t
is now a practical and official organ,
under the wing of the largest body Of
women in the world, the National Suf-
frage Association Of America. with Miss
Blackwell on the editorial staff. and it
can now tell not only what it hopes and
aspires to do for women, but what it has
already done and is doing every day.
Therefore we welcome The Woman

movement
We hope that the new publication will
garner in its more pretentious pages the
richness of spirit which has been so IN

noble pioneers of other days, while tax
ing its rightful place in the roll call of
today.

Hang the Spies AS
Fast AS They Are Caught"

Events today are proving no part of
President Wilson'S war message Of April
2 is truer than this which he said Of
German spies:
One OF the things that have served 10 con
vince Us the Prussian autocracy was not and
could never be our friend Is that from the very
outset OF the present war. II has filed IN
suspectng communities and even our Offices OF
government with spies, and set criminal intrigue
afoot against our national unity OF council, our
peace within and without. our industries and
our commerce. Indeed. II Is now evident that
the spies were here even before the war began.
These are the steps the United States
is taking to stamp out the spies:
Various government detective agencies
are being grouped under one central Sc
cret service.
More complete cooperation Of United
States secret service with that Of Euro
pean allies is being effected
All wireless messages they can pick up
are being copied by naval vessels and leg
islation for federal control Of cables may
be enacted.
The postofice is barring numerous pub
locations for opposition 10 the war.
Hundreds Of suspected persons are be-
ing kept under surveillance. Daily some
are indicted, arrested, convicted, deported
or informed

ers in congress now say:

The Strength of Yielding
BY Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank Crane)

Learn TO yield
You often gain more by giving in than
by holding on. Battles have been won
by strategic retreats as well as by Wig
orous advances.
OF course, there are some things
about which you ought to be inflexible,
stubborn, and not-if-I-die-by-it. But such
things are not nearly so plenty as ones
pride is like TO think.
Very often when you clash against
some one whose views seem directly OPP
posite to your own, if you will let him
say his say, and give him free rein to
explain what he means, you will discover
that after all it is not so much some vital.
essential principle that divides you as it
is some phrase. Your quarrel is perhaps
conflict Of catch words, not of con-
victions.
So be willing to listen. Be eager to
grant all that can be granted. Be keen
to find out how far you can agree with
your adversary. For every useless issue
you can cut out of controversy will
strengthen your side when it comes to
the unavoidable differences.
BY yielding you test and ascertain
your opponents strength. You also learn
the spirit of his attack, the temper Of
him, and how dangerous or harmless
he is.
Give way little when you can, and
see what he does with the advantage
you give him.
BY yielding you awaken nobleness.
Finding no opposition in you your adj
versary finds it in himself, his own sense
Of justice, of courtesy and consideration
is awakened
This may be the gist Of the command
TO turn the other cheek" For if you
truly love your neighbor you are more
concerned in his coming TO himself
and realizing his own wrong than you are
in triumphing over him.
The great secret Of efficiency Is to find
the essentials and stand for them only
And the corollary of this is, not to make
an issue of non-essentials.
The skilful mother avoids clashing
with her child she corrects his faults
by letting him have his own way, and
cleverly bringing him to see his own
folly.
The wise wife leads her husband by
indirection She gets her own way by
yielding far oftener than another 81 con-
tention.
BY yielding you accumulate power for
striking when the time comes. The long
"watchful waiting" of the United States
was not wasted. During this time a ire
mendous moral force was being gener-
ated
Strength" wrote William Sharp, "is
built up out of forfeiture as we'll as of
steadfastness, and the man or woman,
cause or race, wins which on occasion can
relinquish or forbear. Merely to be ir-
reconcilable is merely to prefer the blank
wall to the open road. The most invet-
crate and ireconclable foes (Which is
but the rhetoric Of those fevered with an
epileptic nationalism) may, with COM
mon sense, yet be able to write with de-
cency and courtesy upon the common
veal"
And William Sharp was an Irishman!

Thrown Into Prison

Kerensky spent all his free time in
the house of L. Bsranovsky, a brother
Of the Tashkent general, and married
in 1904 the daughter of Baranovsky,
Olga Lvovna. Upon his graduation
from the university Kerensky devoted
himself wholly to social and political
work. At that time the Social Revolu-
tionary party already had been firmly
planted in st. Petersburg. He Joined
one of its branches there, and soon
paid for it with arrest and imprison-
ment.
Kerensky took an active part in the
campaign preceding the elections to the
second Duma. At that time the Social
Revolutionary party already had given
IN the idea Of boycottrg the Duma
and resolved to enter it. A party circle
under the name Of Land and Free
dom" was formed in st. Petersburg,
dedicated to the election Of Social Rev
dictionaries into the second Duma.
Kerensky became one of the most
fervid and active members of this or
ganization. | vividly recall his youthful.
thin frame, vivacious, alert, ever blaz-
ing with an inner Fame. People said Of
him in those days: "Hc L all forward,
always Drawing the danger" His tenn
pestuous speeches burned with the fire
of emotion; his Characterization OF
current political events were always
amazing in their keenness; his tactical
proposals always bore the stamp OIL real
statesmancraft.

Becomes Inspired
BY Patriotism

From all that he read heard and saw
Sasha Kerensky. in his keen magma
ton, had crcatively constructed the
whole age-long picture Of the fettered
life Of the entire Russian people, Of
the laboring, patient, large-hearted,
all-enduring, all-condoning, all-suffer-
ing Russian people. And he began to
love il, this toiling Russian people, with
all the ardor of youthful love. He be-
came pervaded with profound respect
for the first champions of popular free
dom and happiness.
There is no doubt that the first fight
ers whom Sasha Kerensky desired 20
initiate were the heroic warriors of the
Land and Freedom" movement.
The Kerensky family was intimate
with the family of General B. Barsn-
ovsky, who at that time aerved in fash
kerr. Sasha Kerensky frequently passed
his time in the Baranovsky home.
In 1899 Kerensky completed his
studies in the Tashkent High School
and entered the st. Petersburg Unive:-

In any event. the "spotting" of Ke-
rensky was thoroughly organized. The
police archives have the most abundant
record of his life.
The espionage of the government
penetrated even into his home. Tie had
introduced there youth called Militia
Alimoff, who came to him well recon-
mended Kerensky took paternal care
Of him, developing his mind and aiding
him in entering the Petrograd Psychic
Neurological College.
And this very Militia was later re
vealed to be in the employ OF the De
partment OF Police.
It has not yet been ascertained how
this unfortunate youth had been caught
in the police net. but it is known that
he sold Alexander Kerensky for 90
rubles a month.
When Kerensky found it out his grief
was boundless. az you only knew how

ton concerning the rights OF the peo-

convincing speeches Of the tribune OF
the people, reaching them IN the form
of fragments in the newspapers OF
large blank spaces, forced even the open
enemies of the masses to stop and

Kerensky's convictions were recognized
even by his political opponents.
