to quicken the convictions and the con-
seriousness of mankind with regard to

we ought to be quickened to give this

URGES STATES GIVE
WOMEN THE VOTE
President Wilson Tells New
York Suffragists Now Is Time
to Act on Question.

President Wilson. IN addressing a
delegation of the New York state wom-
an suffrage party yesterday afternoon,
headed by Mrs. Norman de r. White
house. gave a full expression OF his
Views on the suffrage issue, urging that
the states act on the question at this
time. and likewise paid a tribute to the
patriotic effort of women during the
war
The President said:
TT. Is with great pleasure that 1 re-
ceive you. 1 esteem 1T privilege to do
so. / know the difficulties which you
have been working under in New York
state. SO clearly set forth by Mrs
Whitehouse. but. in my judgment, those
difficulties cannot be used as an excuse
by the leaders of any party or by the
voters of any party for neglecting the
questions which you are pressing upon
them.
Because. after all. the whole world
now is witnessing a struggle between
two ideals of government. 1t is a strug
gle which goes deeper and touches more
of the foundations of the organized
life of men than any struggle that has
ever taken place before. and no settle
ment of the questions that lie on the
surface Can satisfy a situation which
requires that the questions which lie
underneath and at the foundation
should also be settled and settled right.
! am free to say. that l think the Ques-
ton OF woman suffrage is one of those
questions which lie at the foundation.

backward. In fighting FOR the spread
of democracy we must not strike at
the one agency that serves democracy
most.
In these critical times for the
nation the people ought to be kept as
fully informed as possible. within
reason. There should be no gag law
that will place our people In the
same condition that the Germans are
in, having only such news as the
authorities choose to give them,
without an opportunity to criticize or
comment on what is going on. This
Is so utterly un-American that It
seems hardly possible that 1t could
pass, yet there is grave danger of 1t
being enacted under the stress of the
war. 1t Is time for sober thinking.
The press, upon which the people
depend for information and discus
sion, ought not to be hampered
either in the matter of a shortage of
white paper or in the ability to speak
freely in the matter of conducting
the war. These are things that the
people ought to insist that congress
consider carefully In order to safe
guard the peoples rights in every
particular.

BLOW AT DEMOCRACY

In his historic address TO congress
netting forth that q state OF war
exists between the United States end
Germany. President Wilson placed
the influence of free press among
the factors essential to the life of q
democracy. In referring to the evils
of concealed intrigue in autocratic
governments, he said: "They are
happily impossible where public
opinion commands and insists upon
fun information concerning all the
nations affairs"
There are two dangers that now
threaten the full Information that
the public opinion commands and
insists upon having. One of these Is
the condition In the print paper
market. and the other is the espion-
age bill which Is now before con-
Gress. Both of these threaten the
freedom OF the press. and 1T has been
the principle of free speech and an
unhampered press that has been the
bnlwark of our liberties since this
nation was founded.
The fact that the federal authori.
ties have produced sufficient evidence
to have number Of the print papers

OF conspiracy shows to what extent

But the trouble is not over by great
deal Publishers are asked to make
further drastic economies. The mem-
bers OF the American Newspapers
Publishers Association are told,
through their official bulletin, that
they must place news on a thirty per
cent. basis-that they must eliminate
features, supplements and all special
matter. They are urged to cut their
present consumption of white paper
twenty-five per cent When 1t is
realized that practically all news
papers have been greatly reduced IN
size already this further demand for
o reduction in the use of paper comes
rs hard blow.
The Federal Trade Commission,
that has given the white paper sltua-
ton careful study, has found that
the shortage is largely artificial; that
exorbitant prices have been due
chiefly to manipulation. 1t has es-
tablished the contention that through
the diversion of machines, intended
