A Word to the Pickets.

Since the woman suffragists persist
in their determination to picket the
White House and express sincere
willingness to suffer confinement in
Jail for a year to demonstrate their
principle. why the seeming reluctance
to having their rights in the premises
defined by the highest courts?
The methods pursued by the women
and the handling of the cases by the
police resemble opera bouffe. The
authorities have leaned over back
ward in their efforts to grant the
women absolute justice. to the point
where their courtesies and considera-
tions have been construed by the pub
lie as ludicrous and tinged with
belief that they lacked the courage
to enforce the law to the letter.
The Washington Herald believes that
equal suffrage is as inevitable as the
rising of the sun. In common with
others not antagonistic to the cause.
it cannot see where the militant meth
DDS are advancing the cause. On the
other hand, it believes it is antago-
MIXING an unprejudiced element who
may sooner or later be numbered
among the supporters Of votes for
women.
The answer to it all is plain. The
women are guilty of disorderly con-
duct and petty misdemeanors in the
course they have elected to pursue,
according to Police Court judge
Nullowny. 1t is a judicial opinion
that stands as the highest yet re-
corded on their activities about the
Executive Mansion.
None of the women have been rep
resented by counsel, preferring to de-
fend themselves. Hence their opinion
is tainted more or less by prejudice
and by an obsession that their course
of action is legal.
The National Woman's party claims
it has the resources and the friends
in the legal profession to take the
cases to the highest courts. Then
by all means do SO at once. Set the
machinery Of the law in motion and
find out whether the action of the
pickets is justified in the eyes of the
law. Judge Mullowny has offered
every latitude in the matter of an
appeal. The women should take it
and in the meantime suspend their
work about the White House and
direct their endeavors for a principle
along legal and more constructive
lines.

ago. The bargains which the War
and Navy departments have been
driving with respect to copper. steel.
coal and oil have been an eye-opener
to the general public. The object les
son will not be lost.
The man in the street argues: IF
the coal barons can afford to sell coal
to the government at s233 per ton lat
the mines. why can't he give the
same price to me?" There is no logi-
cal way of evading this query. which
is going to cut a decidedly big figure
in the immediate economic thought of
the country. The government cannot
evade it, and should 1t try to do so, It
will face disaster.
In regard to food speculation. If Mr.
Hoover does not wipe that off the map
of the United States for all time. he
will have failed to grasp the full OPP
portunity before him. If he cannot
eradicate this most vicious economic
tendency that threatens the stability
Of the nation. he will have failed OF
the highest measure of success. We
are not thinking of the extraordinary
conditions of war alone, but OF peace
times also. The era of mulcting and
gouging the public, OF extortion.
ought to be brought to a definite end.
For this reason there are certain
basic principles of the food legislation
which probably will become a part of
the permanent law of the land.

Little boy! little boy! Why go so fast E?

Sparkle with brightness, both manly

What are the joys you are hoping to
Tell me, pray tell me. oh! little Boy
What is it moves you. what's it
about?
Your eyes like the azure of sweet
summer skies
Are beaming and dancing with light
that defies,
Your lips bright and rosy, with
, youths CHEEKY glow
Look drawn, parched, and puising,
with haste's fevered show.
Your khaki-clad limbs, 1.-the and little,
'tis true,
Are the sturdiest, best little limbs,
ever grew
To run Ger the road. to tackle. to
kick,
They now look to me. like they've
learned a new trick.
Oh little boy! Little Scout! Tell me
/ pray
What is the power that moves you to
say
The very best thing, with the very
best grace
90, no one resisteth that look in your
face?
Tis the spirit. the times. the call! that
inspires,
His country. his freedom, the boy s
grand desires.
In his heart, there's a dre! in his
bosom a-Bond
He is working for freedom in the far
of beyond.
And the faith that moves him, is the
fame, without doubt,
That always should burn in the breast
Of the Scout;
The little boys working for glory SO
pure,
And the little Scouts wearing a
medal. Am sure!

The Food Bill as a Landmark,

In the white heat of war the Ameri-
can people may find a solution of the
economic tangle to which they had
been driven through clumsy distribu-
ton processes in times of peace. In
the eye of certain Senators such a
solution is in sight. They think the
sumptuary powers granted the Presi-
dent for the war emergency furnish
the answer
Communicating. or the threat Of
communicating. Is what they have in
mind. Foodstuffs. fuel-perhaps steel.
leather. lumber-are in the scope Of
the bill. The governments power to
control and regulate these commodities
will be absolute. The effect already Is
marked. There Is less talk Of soaring
prices now than tAers was . month

The New German Cribs.

In the little German city Of zittau.
the city council has admonished the
population to go barefooted, because
there soon win be no leather from
which to manufacture shoes; in
Dusseldorf. Stettin. Gleiwitz. and
other towns food riots are multiply
ing; newspapers are flying from one
extreme to the other, frantically call
ing for support Of the government one
day, and relapsing into morbid fore
bodings Of the future on the next.
These casual flashes of unrest in
Germany. which for two years have
constituted q profitable traffic for the
rumor-mongering neutral press just
beyond the frontier Of the central
empires. can no longer be dismissed
lightly. They are not sporadic now.
but symptomatic. The Frankfurter
Zeitung. reputed to be the organ of
Bethmann-Hollweg. has been for
hidden to indulge in editorial cons
ment until the ban is raised. II is
obvious that the military ring fears
these conservative journals more than
the Socialist radicals. They are
beginning to fly of on a tangent. to
portray the real state of mind of the
German middle class. the commercial
class, whose changed spirit" the
government fears more than It fears
the growing forces Of radicalism and
socialism. The latter it can suppress,
II necessary; the bourgeois are too
powerful to be ignored or fouted.
The current meeting of the Reichs-
tag will show many things. Ger
many has been led to believe thai
submarine frightfulness would force
the surrender of England during the
summer. The process of disillusion-
ment has set In. A fourth winter of
war confronts the German people.
How are they to view it, with its
hardships tripled and quadrupled over
these experienced hitherto. hardships
which apparently have reached the
limit of endurance? That is the big
issue facing Germany today. The
populace sees a regenerated Russia.
further away from a separate peace
than ever, beginning a new ana
formidable offensive under Brusilofr.
It hears rumors of Bohemians flock
ing to the Russ standard; of a dis
couraged Austria fighting Internal
Generalization. 1t will soon know the
truth Of American war preparation,
much as they are being falsified by
the authorities now. 1t must know
soon that the U-boat is a broken hope;
that the German armies are per-
manentIy on the defensive; that the
crash must come when America is
prepared to strike in the fullness of its
power.
When the German becomes morbid,
gloomy, or apprehensive. it is tins
to look out" Unless buoyed up by
absolute confidence in himself and his
magnificent armies. he loses at least
20 per cent Of his efficiency. 1t is
blind faith-a virtual worship at the
military shrine. an ingrained habit OF
believing what he is told to believe
that keeps him going today.
But the scales are falling from his
eyes. The Prussian is creature OF

ground between arrogance and whining
serv!lity. moral breakdown. There
fore when the crack appears, the
collapse will come speedily.
