Miss Rankin,s Sex Limitation.

Brooklyn Eagle: Modest, indus
trious, of quick intelligence, and not
affected by the cacoethes. loquendi,
Miss Jeanette NJ Rankin of Montana
the one woman member of the house
of representatives, is true and fair
representative of her sex. She loves
the right, she hates the wrong; she
wants the best in legislation.
And yet Miss Rankin's first vote
was against the resolution of war on
Germany, and her first great speech
made was in essence defense of the
Industrial Workers Of the World, an
arrangement of the owners of copper
mines, demand that the government
seize such mines and operate them in
the common interest. Shocked by the
llynching Of Little, repudiating other
acts of 'anti-I. W. w. violence, she
chose to ignore every suggestion of
the truth that the l. w. w. is formally
arrayed against government and
against society.
Let us be frank Let us call Miss
Rankin's exhibitions of one-sidedness
sex-limitations, due to super-symp athy
with the under dog, which often bites
you if you try to help him. In gentle
woman this super-sympathy has a
charm of its own Men would not
Danish it. Men do not laugh at it.
But. translated into legislation, it
would be not merely unwise. but grave
lily pernicious. The scorollary any
thinker can work out for himself. It
is worth some attention.

A LOST SERVICE.

No nation ever entered with less Of the out
ward appeal to popular emotion than has at
tended our war preparation and war making
thus far It is we'll to remember this in giving
due credit to the progress we have made in get
ting men for our forces Of all sorts and in get
ting equipment for the work they have to do
The apathy to the is no more than might
be expected when it is remembered that war is
generally matter Of crowd spirit in its actual
making however much it may be the work Of
a small group Of individuals in the causing. We
have Just reversed all this. Our entrance into
the war is a matter in which the slowly irri-
tated and slow gathering of concensus Of the
great majority has decided against its wi sh
and its trend Of thought; we have hated the
thought of war but we have come to see it as
a national necessity.
There is nothing in this to stimulate the
hurrah and the impulsive action of the crowd.
It is grim and bitter determination that is the
spirit actuating the nation. We face the work
of destroying German military aggression as
we would face the need of stamping out any
evil force that threatened our national welfare.
The good for which we fight is for all the
world and for the coming years we'll forl
our own nation in the immediate present, and
by so much as it is worldwide, it loses in its
selfish appeal. The enlivening Influence, the
power to make the real situation apparent in
all it's bearing on the nations present, the in
spring personality that is vast motor impulse
to action are lacking These would have
been supplied if Colonel Roosevelt had been

Warden Perkins.

Sioux City Journal: 1t is com
pliment to the Judgment of the state
board of control that in Sioux City
the news of the appointment of a
minister, Rev. J. R. Perkins, to the
wardenship Of the state penitentiary
was received, first, with a little sur
prise, then with the general reflec-
ton that the appointee is remarkably
qualified. In Sioux City, where he
has held the pastorate of the First
Christian church for five years, Rev.
Mr.. Perkins is very well known, in
deed. His activities and his acquaint-
anceships have been far wider than
those of a localized churchman. And
he is not only most known, but pos
sibly also best known for his con-
genial humanness in all relations
for his native sympathy with men
That quality, plus a high degree of
practically in his thought and deal
ings. unquestionably brought him to
the attention of the board of control
in the boards search for the right
man to take charge of the Fort Mad
ison prison. Rev. Mr.. Perkins will
take with him to Fort Madison ideals.
and he also will take common sense.
He will take sympathy, and he will
take the proper, degree of restraint
The board Of control has not chang
ed preacher into a warden, but has
recognized the warden in the preach.
er. AS Rev. Mr.. Perkins says, the
step is not really such radical one.
1t is from the service of men to the
service of men. And the opportur-
ity for the exercise of the human
quality. intelligently directed, is
surely nowhere greater than at the
concentration camps Of the stigma
