We Congratulate These
Women and Congratulate
the Voters of Detroit

The Detroit Times is OF the opinion
that the voters Of the city are improving.
II believes that when they feel that
they have half a chance TO do something
along radical lines which is going to
benefit the city they leave their slippered
ease and cosy freight and get out and
do IT,
1t also sees symptoms that their preju-
dice against the feminine half of the COM
munity, as factors in civic life, is dimin-
ishing and that they are willing and glad
to cooperate with them for the benefit of
their children.
The Times congratulates the women
nominees.
1t also congratulates the other Detroit
women on their part in the campaign
and on this mile stone, so successfully
passed, in their political history.
1t congratulates the men on having
done the obviously sane, fair and open
minded thing.
That the small school board is fact
in this city is due to the strenuous eff
forts during many years of Mrs. Laura
Osborn and a place upon the board is
Justly hers. Mrs. Carrie Oostdyk is a
sufragist of long standing and has
worked long and valiantly in the suf-
frage cause. She is a woman of ability,
an ardent worker for prohibition and
possesses a broad and sympathetic out
look upon life.
Finally Detroit is to be congratulated
upon having achieved this nomination.
May the election confirm what is so
well begun.

$4,000, 900 a Day
BY DR.. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank crane)

Twenty-Five million dollars a day Is
what Chancellor of the Exchequer Bonar
Law stated in the House of Commons the
war is costing Great Britain.
$29,000,000.0O a day.
$4,000. 100000 month.
How much year?
These figures are benumbing. We can
not think them We can only cape.
For what is the nation paying this
staggering price?
For defense OF homes and institutions.
for liberty and honor and all that?
Yes. But go back little further. Ask
why 1T became necessary to pay such
amounts.
1t is England's share Of the price the
world pays for lack of government
The nations refused to ground arms
and arrange an international tribunal to
settle their differences; they refused to
consider the proposition seriously; they
couldn't even see it, and this refusal. this
blindness is costing England $50 600, 900
day.
World government, the federation of
the world, is utopian. impractical. All
right England You are entitled to your
opinion. But il is costing you $29,
900 a day.
The people Of the United States ara
considering now the spending Of count.
less money preparing for possibility
of entering this war. They are not spend
ing one million, or one thousand, dollars
in trying to organize a world federation,
which is the only possible way to police
the world against war This same inabil-
ity to see is costing England $40 100000
day.
All we can understand is the two par
ties, one for preparedness and the other
for peace at any price, militarists versus
pacifists; the third party, who want to
take immediate steps TO call the world to-
gether and stop the whole war business,
can hardly make its voice heard in the
general clamor. For this dumbness we
are preparing to spend our $29.000,000
a day.
Because we will not let go of our ram
pant nationalism, because we are afraid
some one will call Us unpatriotic, because
we can only think in the terms of worm
out European politics, because we viii
not spend $4,000, 900 or so in actively
pushing the League TO Enforce Peace, OF
some other form Of world organization 70
prevent war and establish international
law with proper enforcement, we are get
ting ready to spend S29, 900 900 day in
an international brawl.
To say nothing of the human suffer
ing and horror that war means, which
no money can measure.
$29,00O,0O0 a day, England, for not
putting your army and navy behind the
Hague Tribunal.
Millions upon millions in money. and
the slaughter Of your choicest youth, and
the desolation of uncounted homes, .
nations of the world, is the price you
are paying for keeping up your internal
pride of arms, your fiction of homicidal
patriotism, instead Of establishing law
and order in the lanes of the world.
S29,00O,000 q day is just one nations
price of anarchy.
500 600 900 a day for the fool pride
of carrying your gun and doing your, own
shooting, instead Of turning the bust

international court and international po-
lice
