the suggestion was received with much
respectful interest. A good man, by
general concession. Free from all fac
tionism, undoubtedly. An able admin
istrator, as had been shown by him in
the digging Of the Panama canal.
A counter suggestion followed that
Col. Goethals, as he then was, might not
care for, and would not enjoy, the pull
ings and haulings incidental to and in
escapable in all large tasks Of q politi-
cal or semi political nature. The great
engineer would find the atmosphere Of
the White House very different from any
he had ever before breathed.
The name Of Col. Goethals was not
pressed. That Of Justice Hughes was,
and it won the nomination easily.
Gen. Goethals is having some expert
ence now suggestive Of what would have
fallen to his lot had he been nominated
and elected President. His present Of
fee brings him into active controversy.
ClasLing influences press upon him.
Great importance attaches to his de-
cisions, and quick decisions are neces-
sary. Multiply his present embarrass-
ments by ten thousand, and you get an
idea of what he should have encountered
had he been chosen to preside over the
whole task Of the country at this time.
So strong a man, however, does not
shirk work or responsibility; and it is
fortunate for the country that it has at
this critical time many such as he, will
ing to serve where placed, and willing
to breast endorsements in efforts to
forward the country's interests. Mems
judgments as well as their souls are be-
ing tried today.

ommendation. not only in England but
elsewhere. In France the boycott has
begun already. The country has been
flooded with sheets setting forth that for
every German and Austrian water cure
one is to be found in France quite as
effcacious. Every known disease for
which sufferers heretofore went to one
Of the numerous Teutonic "bads" can be
treated remedially at a French estab-
ishment, and the appeal is being spread
not only through France, but in this
country as well, to patronize in the times
Of peace later to arrive none of the in
situations under German or Austrian
control. If Germany loses its foreign
trade and its inflow of i'll or hypochon-
driac tourists it will, indeed, have paid
humanity staggering price for its in
diligence in the war game. -.

The British Suffrage Victory.

Even though the minimum age of vot-
ing is stated at thirty years, or nine
years higher than the minimum voting
age of men, the provision adopted by
the British house of commons for the
enfranchisement of women in the
United Kingdom is great victory for
the suffragists. Especially notable is it
in view of the enormous majorities that
have been recorded in the house in favor
Of suffrage. The principle itself was
adopted by 3S5 to Sc, or majority Of
329, while the age provision carried by
291 to 25. Plainly there has been a
great overturn in British sentiment on
this subject, and it cannot be doubted
that one of the chief factors in this
transition has been the manner in which
the women themselves have discharged
their patriotic duties during the war,
and especially the devotion to the ma
tlonal cause Of those hitherto SO mill
tant in their demand for the franchise.
Thus the women of England are win
ming the vote by abstaining from the
methods that for so many years char
acterized their campaign. This should
carry a lesson to that small contingent
Of American suffragists who persist in
mi1itancy.

Gen. Goethals.

Some eighteen months ago, the re-
publicans. realizing that they must have
q strong candidate with whom to oppose
Mr.. Wilson, whose denomination was
certain, were casting about for the right
man. A leading consideration was that
he should be free Of any participation
In the factionism with which the party
for several years had been distracted. A
too close and conspicuous adherence to
either the Taft or the Roosevelt leader
ship was regarded as disqualification.
The name Of Mr.. Justice Hughes had
been mentioned, but scme doubt existed
as to whether he would consent to be
drafted. He would not discuss the sub
ject in any form.
Suddenly somebody said Goethals; and

Regular Army Week.

President Wilson's proclamation of
the week of June 1880 for recruiting the
regular army to its war strength of
100000 men offers an opportunity for
10000 Americans to join the ranks be-
fore the selective draft is conducted.
Any man between eighteen and forty
has this chance. The President calls
particularly for unmarried men. As
suredly there are 10000 in the United
States who will answer this call. There
must be many thousands over thirty
who want to serve the country, but who
will not be reached by the draft. If
so, they should come forward next week
and join the ranks for the war.

The Teuton Boycott Has Begun.

German titles have gone out Of style
at the London court. Several of the
British princes and princesses have long
been known by designations rejecting
the Teutonic ancestry of the royal fam
lily, but since the war there has been
q decided public distaste for them. Now
the king has decreed that henceforth
these exalted ones shall be known by
strictly British titles. Nothing Germanic
Is popular now In England. Even the
tableware must pass muster. Recently
at formal dinner party some one dis
covered that the plates bore the mark
Of German pottery and the host began
to smash the offending crockery, in
which pastime his guests followed suit.
This is an unhappy augury for the Ger
man trade after war has ended. That
ones potent stamp "Made in Germany"
Is likely to be ban instead Of rec

Let Us Have the Facts.

Now that the United States is at war
with Germany, in alliance with England
and France, the people Of this country
are entitled to the fullest possible in
formation respecting the progress OF the
war. One of the most important phases
Of the campaign is the work of the Ger
man submarines and the work against
them. Every week statement of the
sinkings of British ships is issued by
the admiralty Of London, giving the
number of vessels sunk above 1000 tons
each and those sunk under that tonnage.
The actual tonnage itself is withheld.
That is perhaps justifable as precau-
ton against giving undue information
to the enemy, although presumably the
German admiralty is accurately inform
ed Of the tonnage of every vessel de-
stroyed, and has as perfect a record of
sinkings as have the British.
The admiralty at London has never
made public the number of German sub
marines sunk or captured. It has drawn
a veil Of secrecy over this phase Of the
conflict on the ground, it is stated, that
silence causes an important psychology
cal reaction in Germany. But evidently
secrecy as to the fate of the submarines
caught or sunk has not deferred Ger
many in the slightest from building and
sending forth new undersea boats, or
made it particularly difficult to obtain
crews for them. Notwithstanding this
secrecy there are, it is believed, more
German submarines in operation today
than ever before. Is it not time to let
the world know what is being done in
the way Of submarine destruction The
American people have now more than
neighborly curiosity in this connection.
They have right to the facts, for their
ships are now being sunk as ships of
q be,ligerent power, and their naval YES
sells are patroliing the seas in search of
submarines. If actual progress is being
made against this form of piratical war
fare it is due to the people Of this coun-
try to let them know.
The latest report of submarine sink
ings shows that in the past fortnight
there has been decided increase in the
number Of vessels torpedoed, almost a
doubling. This is due, it is claimed, to
the fact that for time large numbers
Of German submarines were withdrawn
from operations for repairs, in order
to present the strongest array of raid
ers at the time that the American troops
were being sent overseas Whatever
the cause. the fact is patent that sub
marine destruction, which waned for
four weeks to point which led to hope,
is now increasing at rate that causes
apprehension.

The many questions which arise
To fog the understanding
Grow far too numerous for replies
Sincere respect commanding.
Yet In this wilderness immense,
This intellectual thicket,
We venture now with diffidence
To ask, Why is a pickett
Why should lady choose to stand
In a detected manner.
Displaying from her outstretched hani
An inartistic bannerq
With public sentiment in haste
To let her choose her ticket,
And vote according to her taste,
We ask, Why is q pickett /.

CONDUCTING SALES.

Many people have somehow acquired
the notion that when a dealer conducts
sale he is trying to unload a lot Of
undesirable merchandise. While this
occasionally may be true, it is more
often not the case, but rather merely
an advertising plan designed to draw
people into the store.
Oftentimes goods are marked almost
at cost to the merchant and then ad-
vertised for sale during a certain pc
Rod of time.
The object is to make it worth while
for the people to come in and not only
buy the advertised goods but to pur-
chase other merchandise at regular
prices. The dealers profit then is not
on the sale articles but on the others.
If everyone bought only the mer-
chandise advertised in the sale, the
dealer wonld make no money. But he
displays his other goods conspicuously
so that customers can see them and
save themselves time by making fur
Their purchases. Thus he makes addi-
tional sales that are profitable and the
customer saves money and saves time
through buying big bill of goods at
the one store.
