VARDAMAN AND HIS "ExPlA-
NATIONS"

In explanation, not apology, "
Of his opposition to the admins
tration war measures, Senator
Vardaman has been reported as
saying at Hazlehurst: my
father was opposed to secession,
but enlisted in the Confederate
army and fought for the South
during the four years of the
civil war. Robert E. Lee had
in his heart at the close of the
war a belief that the Confeder-
acy was wrong and had made a
mistake. | am not apologizing
for what have done. / am ex-
planning. | did not take the
oath of allegiance to support Mr..
Wilson. This is a new leaf in
Lee history. AS we have read it,
his appeals to the god of battles,
which were earnest and continu-
Gus, were based upon claims of
the righteousness and justice OF
the Southern cause.
But the point is, could there
have been a man in the audience
he was addressing so ObtuSe as
not to perceive the infelicity of
Vardaman's comparison of his
case with that of Gen. Lee-to
whom the vast difference did
not occur of keeping his belief
of the Confederate mistake in
his heart" instead of weaken
ing the faith and devotion of his
army by proclaiming it, with bit
ter reproach and defamatory ac-
cusations of base motives against
those who brought it on? Was
there a patriotic American in
Vardaman's audience who en-
dorsed his remarkable denial of
any obligation Of duty in the
present crisis to support the
President, because he had taken
no oath of allegiance to that
effect? Many thousands of the
best men in the state Opposed
to secession enlisted in the army
and fought during the war. "
When war came they, unlike
Vardaman, did nothing and said
nothing to weaken service of the
cause they had opposed.
If Senator Vardaman can get
away with his explanations, he
need fear nothing from the
false statements and SANDER
Gus attacks of his enemies. ("
Nor yet the stultified and abus-
i've labors of his organs in de-
Tense of a record that in other
states would place him under the
espionage of the federal authori-
ties put him in the pillory with
LaFollette and Pettigrew. The

 And for all time one stock argument of suffragists will be riddled, namely, that which has held tha. they only should vote who can serve their country in time of war.
 Women can dc whatever they are called upon to do. It can never be said that they were unable because they are un:Icd. They first had to vote to prove that they knew how to exercise that right.
 The argument against equal suffrage in England have faded since womens participation in the manufacture of munitions the production of foods.ufts and otherwise supplying the needs of the soldiers in the trenches So also will the experiment of cm- ploying women in naval or military aid in the United States cause much of the opposition to woman suffrage to dwin- ale and disappear.
 Who can say that the great landslide for suffrage in the recent New York elections was not in great degree due to the part the women of the nation have already taken in he great war preparations of this country.

Many Women Unable to
Tell Names After Blast
By ASSociated Press

st. John, N. B., Dec. IA simple
statement that came over the tele-
phone from Truro to-day reveals
more of the horror of the tragedy at
Halifax. 1t was that many women
injured or destitute or both, who had
been brought from Halifax to Truro
had been so crazed by the shock that
upon arriving at the relief stations
they were unable to do so much as
tell their own names.
All direct telegraph wires between
st. John and Halifax were down to-
day. A heavy sleet storm added ia
the delay in restoring them. Three
local telegraph wires between St
John and Truro were working spas
medically. The only communication
out of Halifax was by cable south
and the Canadian Pacific wire, which
is occupied entirely with government
and railway business.
A message from Truro sbrings the
story of Eleanor Tapley of st. John
student at Mt. Vincent's Academy
at Halifax. Miss Tapley says the
armory was destroyed and some SOL
diers killed. The academy was con-
verted into a hospital to which as
many as could be found place for
were brought and cared for by the
sisters and girl students.

AT MAJESTIC
Vaudeville Bill a Variety of
Gown Designing, Music
and Comedy

A fashion review. musical and COM
edy offerings, wire balancing feats
and a clever sketch are included in
the variety bill for the last half of
the week at the Majestic. While one
of these failed to appeal to the audi
ence last night, the others proved en-
tertaining enough to win hearty ap-
plause.
Bollinger and Reynolds have a
short but clever turn in wire balanc-
ing, the comedy tumbles contributing
much to the success of the feats.
Lewis and Chaplin follow with bit
of song and nonsense, which failed to
arouse much enthusiasm. Two hu-
morous parodies of popular songs
made a hit.
One of the best vaudeville sketches
both in the way of comedy and orig
inality is The Broken Mirror" by
Schwarz Brothers and Company. 1t
kept the audience in an uproar of
laughter. Holmes and Buchanon met

seldom heard any more, but none the
less pleasing.
