at intervals Of a dozen or more feet,
carrying banners back and forth along
the long front Of Westminster. The po-
lice made no attempt to interfere with
them, for they were in the public high
way and kept moving. Had they sta
toned themselves in front Of Bucking-
ham palace, or the residence of the pre-
mier, they would have been quickly dis
persed. There is total lack of logic
in the picketing at the White House
apart from the obvious impropriety of
demonstration at the gates of the
chief executive, whose only offense has
been his refusal to force the issue of
constitutional amendment, holding as he
does that the proper way for the exten-
sion of the suffrage is by state enact
ments.

Harry Thaw.

Harry Thaw's career has run in a
tragic course. Yesterday it came close
to finish, in manner calculated to
win for him certain sympathy, how
ever undeserved. This young man, with
exceptional opportunity for leading u
useful and benefcent life, has for years
been a source of the most painful anx-
iety and distress to his family, the cause
of the deepest suffering to others and
the object of heavy expense to the pub
lie. When after long, costly fight he
regained his freedom through spec
tacular flight from his prison sanitarium
in New York. it seemed for time as
though he had learned the lesson of his
misbehavior, and was bent upon making
amends. But it now proves that he was
not actually changed in disposition.
Charged with extreme cruelty to youth
whom he had taken under virtual guar
dianship, he became once more a fugi-
tive from justice and was pursued and
when cornered he attempted to take his
life. 1t is not cruelty to say that it
would have been better if he had sue
ceeded, for there is no profit to society
in the proceedings that are certain to
follow, and there is no ground for hop
ing that this unfortunate man has gain
ed mental and moral balance. At lib
erfv he ia eyidentlv q menace and con-
fined he is q cause of continuous ex-
pense and conflict, the effect of which
upon the public mind is certain to be
demoralizing.

Why Picket the White House 2


If the militant suffragists believe
there is any virtue in pieketing why
should they choose the White House as
the scene of this demonstration Moth
ing is palmer than that the President
is not going to yield to pressure and
take the initiative in an attempt to force
Congress to act on the national amend
ment at this session, If picketing has
any value whatever it should be under
taken at the Capitol, the scene of legis-
lation, the place to which the suffragists
must hook for action. OF course, there
are certain physical difficulties about
picketing the Capitol. Even within the
grounds the space TO be covered is a
large one. There are many entrances
and furthermore the main building is
connected by tunnels with the Office
buildings. Nevertheless, it would be
possible TO make spectacular demonstra-
tion in front of the building unless the
authorities there interfered on the
ground of trespassing within the reser-
| walton with unauthorized banners. If
persecution is wanted, the miiitants may
get it abundantly by trying a demon
stration at the Capitol. Some years ago
| the London militants decided to abstain
for q while from their scandalous ac-
tiyities and organized silent protests
that took the form Of quiet parades up
and down in front of the parliament
buildings. The women marched slowly

lions and habits of peace, old habits, and

tions and habits Of peace, old habits, and
especially as old and strong habit as
tippling, will fight for recognition again.
Then the state will be put to it to con-
tinue a policy which had war conditions
for its inspiration.
But it is altogether likely that the
effort will be made. Temperance is so
great a question, and intemperance had
become so great an evil when the war
began, those countries which had suf-
fered most from the evil will strive to
prevent its recrudesence.
Naturally, this will be reflected in this
country. Prohibition, without war, has
made such rapid strides with us. there
is firm belief that it is advancing to
the importance of a national issue, with
both parties bidding for the support of
the friends Of the cause.
Capt. Hobson, like Mr.. Bryan, is Civ
ing his time to prohibition. Like Mr..
Bryan, he is out of Office, with plenty
of time to spare; and, like Mr.. Bryan
still again, he is in great request in
chautauqus circles, addressing crowds
wherever he goes. And again like Mr..
Bryan. he is a professed democrat, anx-
ious to see his party take the lead, in
what he claims is the greatest issue be-
fore the American people.

The President and Revenue.

In commenting the other day on a
report from the White House that the
President would make no specific recon-
mendations to Congress on the subject
of increased revenue The Star said: att
is the business of Congress, not his
business, to shape revenue measures. AS
Congress holds the purse, it should fill
the purse; and the purse just now needs
filing"
In reply to this The Star is reminded
by reader of an act Of Congress, dated
March 4, 1909, which requires the Presi-
dent, in case of an anticipated defcien-
cy, to recommend to Congress such
loans or new taxes as may be necessary
to cover the deficiency"
Nevertheless, this does not put upon
the President the duty Of shaping in
detail q revenue measure. If it did the
House would be shorn Of its authority
as an initiator Of such legislation. The
President might, along with message,
submit bill, but it would be no more
than a recommendation. 1t would still
be in the power of the House to take
the bill or leave it; or to take part and
leave part.
There are two excellent reasons why
the House-the Senate, later, aiding
and not the President, should work out
the present problem. The President has
his hands full of other business. For
eign affairs have not been SO delicate
and difficult in many years; and in a
large measure they are committed to
his hands. And therr are many do
mestie questions which press, and in the
settlement of which he has large voice.
The second reason is that the Presi-
dent is not, and does not pretend to be,
an authority on taxation. He is not
tariff expert His views on the subject
are, as those Of many other public men,
of O general character. Details are be-
yond him. 1t is very different in Con-
gress. The ways and means committee
Of the House and the finance committee
of the Senate are composed Of men sup
posed to have intimate knowledge of the
tariff and as matter of fact some of
them have participated in several re-
visions Of the tariff. The man whose
name the existing tariff law bears is a
member Of the Senate finance commit
tee. If not experts themselves, they
command the assistance of experts, and
have this one matter Of more revenue
before them. They can give their whole
attention to it.
Mr.. Kitchin and his ieutenants in the
one body, and Mr.. Simmons and his
ieutenants in the other body, know
what is before them, are ut work, and
should be able either to settle the bust
ness at this session, or show the neces-
sity of an extra session Of the new Con-
gress to deal with it.

A DRY" World.

Since leaving Congress, Capt Hobson
has not been much in the public eye.
be makes his resppearance in the foi-
lowing news dispatch from Muskogee,
Okla:
"Plans for AN international confer
ence for worldwide prohibition, to be
held cotenporaneously and at the same
place with the peace conference, when
ever it shall be called for the settlement
Of the European war, were announced
by former Representative Richmond z.
Hobson Of Alabama, in an address here
today under the auspices of the inter
national prohibition movement 'All the
great nations are taking progressive ae-
ton against liquor and America will
take the leadership toward making the
whole world dry said Mr.. Hobson."
Everybody seems to be thinking in
world terms now. Whether the subject
is peace, prohibition or what you will,
suggestions are on a grandiose scale.
The war has produced some wonderful
results, so far as tipple is concerned
IN all the countries engaged. Strict
measures as to such indulgences have
been taken in them all, and enforced
with fair success. Booze, in its various
forms, from vodka down, has been put
under the ban as a matter of necessity
and from royalty at its table, to the sol
der in the trenches and the plain man
lsft behind to do the everyday chore,
at home, temperance greater than even
known before has been enjoined and
observed.

The Allies Reply.

4 ne erect OF the reply OF the allied
powers to President Wilson's note is
somewhat confused by the simultaneous
publication of Germany's reply to the
entente, issued yesterday in Berlin. Yet
despite this it is plain that the way
10 a possible peace remains open. The
allies state their general objects in the
war in sufficiently explicit terms to per-
NIT further attempt to join the issues.
As Germany has not yet made known
any basic peace terms, however, despite
the fact that three notes have emanated
from Berlin on the general subject, it
is impossible at this stage to judge how
far the entente propositions run counter
10 the Teutonic concept of possible
peace.
The allies state their terms clearly
enough for present purposes. They de-
nand the restoration Of Belgium, Serbia
and Montenegro with indemnities; the
evacuation of the invaded territories of
France. Russia and Rumania with
reparation; the restitution of territory
wrested in the past from the allies by
force or against the will of their popu-
lation, which would include the liberia
tion of Italians, Slavs, Rumanians and
Teheeo Slovaques from foreign domina-
ton; the reorganization of Europe guar
anteed by stable regime to insure ter
ritorial and maritime frontiers against
unjustiied attacks; the enfranchisement
of populations subject to the tyranny
of the Turks and the expulsion from
Europe of the Ottoman empire.
1t will be noted that while there is 10
inees may be included in the demand for
the restoration of territory arrested in
the past from the allies. The allies
specifically disclaim any design "to en-
compass the determination of the Ger
man peoples and their political disap
pearance." Save as may be included in
the item referring to the "reorganiza-
tion of Europe or the possible return
of Alsace- Lorraine, in whole or in part,
to France, there is nothing in the
terms of the entente to menace Ger
many with any losses. The real losers
in territory under these terms-outside
of the conquest of the German colonies
would be Austria, Turkey and possibly
Bulgaria. But there is decided signifi-
canoe in the reference to indemnities
and reparation.
Thus stated, the terms offer some
ground for negotiation if Germany is
disposed to begin a genuine peace par
ley by submitting its own terms.
II is to be borne in mind that
although Germany made the first peace
movement the entente powers have been
the first to set forth any outline of pos
sible peace terms. For the German note
that is published simultaneously with
the entente note deals exclusively in
generalities, bringing accusations against
the allied powers on the score of pre-
cipitating the war and violating the
laws of nations i'll Europe and in Africa.

Remember the summer of 1915? The long
hot weeks during which the pleasures OF our
beautiful park were available only by ferry or
small boats?
You don't want that to happen again-and
vet the present make-shift bridge may not
withstand the winters ice foes, or another
dripping hot-tar wagon would surely ignite it
much more easily than in the case of the
former span.
If the bridge proposition does not receive
a three-fifths vote on November 9th, it will
mean that Detroit will be without new bridge
for more than five years, as the amendment
cannot be submitted again for two years, and
it would be another three years before the job
could be completed.

running for thirty years.
When you express your approval on the
new bridge next Tuesday, you get in line with

better and more beautiful Detroit than you
