The New Day in New York.

The women of New York as voters are
already very much in evidence. They
are bellies now more than ever. The
politicians are bowling before them
deeply. The amount of advice they are
receiving is considerable. How much of
1t they will accept and apply remains
to be seen. Some of it may try their
patience, to use a feminine term.
For an instance, Gov. Whitman, q
clever and successful politician, advises
them to let by-gones be by-gones; to
treasure no animosities toward those
who opposed nfranchisement, and yield
no support to others only for the reason
that they favored it and helped bring it
about. Excellent advice, but hard to
apply because of running little coun-
ter to everyday human nature.
Then there is the question of party
afiliation. Should they choose from
among existing organizations, or from
an organization of their own, or choose
a party as the platforms and candidates
Of each campaign may suggests There
is enough in this one question alone to
call for the putting on of thinking caps.
Then there is the question of running
for office. A vacancy in the national
House will soon occur, and woman can
didates are suggested. Well, why not
If the people are so disposed, why should
not New York send lady to keep the
company of the lady from Montana 2
Miss Rankin is making progresses
cures attention whenever she takes the
floor, and is rapidly learning "the lay
of the land" East and west would thus
join hands under the new dispensation.
These New York women, it may be
mentioned, are tackling politics in its
most practical shape. From the begin
ming of the government, the game has
been played in that state with a skill
commanding national attention. Now
and then it has commanded national
reprobation. Can the women make the
game better and squarer' They think
so, and are committed to such an en-
deavor. If they succeed, the effect
should show beyond the confines of the
state. For the contention will follow
that as woman suffrage operates to the
good in as difficult field as New York,
why not everywhere
These are new times in many particu-
lars, but in no particular more interest
ing than in the enlargement of the cleo
torate whereby women in large numbers
are sharing with men the responsible
ties Of government.

Senator Gallinger and the District

Senator Gallinger and the District.
Washington welcomes the assurance.
conveyed in the course of an interview
with him printed today, that Senator
Gallinger of New Hampshire proposes to
continue his active work in the Senate
in behalf of the District of Columbia,
for whose welfare he has labored stead
tasty during the many years of his
service in Congress. He speaks for lib
eral appropriations for all the branches
Of the municipal government, schools,
police and fire departments, and also
the adoption Of projects for continuing
the development Of the capital in true
accord with its position. It is in this
spirit that Washington should be con.
sidered by all the national legislators
who are by the Constitution charged
with responsibility for the care Of the
seat Of government in both its federal
and its local aspect. The local com.
munity is doubly gratifed that sena.
tor Gallinger returns to Washington
fully restored in health.

through for q decisive victory in the
field. Lloyd Georges frankness, though
it hurt, has nevertheless been helpful,
inasmuch as it demonstrated the need
Of consistent policy on the part Of all
the allied powers.
At Paris the ministerial crisis has
| brought Georges Clemenceau once more
to the front. The veteran statesman,
who has occupied his years of respite
from office in vigorous journalism, has
accepted the task Of forming a ministry.
He is probably the strongest man In
France, though not perhaps the most
constructive. He is the object of bitter
hatred on the part of the socialists,
whom he fought vigorously when he was
prime minister. Just at present, how
ever, he is of the type needed at the
head Of the French government. He
demands the eradication of what has
come to be known as "Boloism," by which
name Teutonic intrigue for peace is now
styled in France. If he succeeds in
forming ministry with parliamentary
support he will doubtless prosecute en-
ergetically the housekeeping of which
France is now urgently in need.
These crises at London and Paris do
not signify any slackening of spirit, nor
do they presage any lessening of the
war energies of the two countries. They
are, indeed, really less significant than
the changes in the German chancellor
ship that have occurred since the war
began. In both countries a sense of re-
sponsibility for the prosecution of the
war to 4 successful finish is manifest,
with no signs of diminution. With the
United States now in the field and be-
coming daily more materially factor
for victory it is inconceivable that there
should be any laxity or that any mere
political shifts or crises should make
for premature peace, which is tanta-
mount to German victory.

War Cooperation With Railroads.

4 Chairman Fairfax Harrison of the
railroads war board, in statement to
yhe public published today, makes an
ppeal for cooperation of the people
nth the railroads in the stupendous task
ow confronting the carriers, and for
,satience while the railroads grapple with
staggering difficulties yet to be over
5Dme. 1t should attract the attention
and receive the sympathy of every one.
To say that upon the railroads rest a
great burden in the winning of the war
is but to state the elemental. To say
chat the railroads have demonstrated
not only their willingness, but ability
. shoulder their load is but to give
simplest credit where it is most OBJ
Yiously due. .--..
II his statement Chairman Harrison
calls attention, without boastfulness, to
somc of the feats accomplished by the
,aiiroads. They have in the five months
OF the war hauled 10000 carloads of
freight to national camps; have handled
1900 carloads Of freight for the ship
ping board; have moved 10000 car
loads more of coal than in 1916, while
The general freight traffic was so per
>ent heavier than in 1915. They have
transported 100000 soldiers to train
ing camps. They will move 5000 car
leads Of supplies a month to these
camps.
All this in the face of difficulties of
sheir own, occasioned by serious shortage
OF the highly skilled labor necessary for
railroad operation; Of a lack Of sufi-
cient cars and locomotives; of lament
able inability to get adequate equipment
while the government has priority in
its demands for steel and other mate
rial. Even their officers have diverted
their attention to government business
TO the detriment Of executive manage
ment Of their own properties.
The railroads war board has sub
mitted to the government director Of
priority and the fuel administrator q
list Of $50 commodities whose Transport
tation can be dispensed with without in
convenience to the public, and IS com
modities which could be dispensed with,
although, admittedly, with inconveni-
ence. Denial Of transportation Of these
commodities will aid the railroads to
give greater service to the war. Chair
msn Harrison asks the public to CO.
operate.
May he not reasonably expect us all
70 pay heed to this request, not only to
submit without complaining to the cur
tailment, but even to help it alongf It
is al for the winning Of the war.

acome back" Today he Is reported as
active, with plans for stirring up strife
along the border.
The United States has recognized the
Carranza government, and wishes It sue
cess. An American ambassador Is on
duty In Mexico. A Mexican ambassador
is on duty In Washington, Matters off,
cial are moving smoothly between the
two governments. Americans In Mex
leo with money investments are resum-
ing business.
Still, these stories about an outlaw
who has caused SO much trouble to his
own country and to this are disquieting.
If true, they point to duty which the
Mexican government should perform as
promptly as possible. If Villa Is alive
and in the saddle. whether supported by
small or large force. he should be
hunted down. He should be shown in
chains, or his dead body shown, and
thus assurance be given that no further
trouble is possible from him.
The Star has made this suggestion be-
fore. The Carranza government could
well afford to address itself particularly
to the settlement Of this matter. It has
a good organization, civil and military,
in northern Mexico; and that is the
quarter Of that country Of most con-
Germ to this country. Disorder there is
certain to be felt on this side Of the
border.
There is danger in Villa as long as
he is alive and at liberty. Even if only
a few followers remain to him, he is a
menace. A small myth has grown up
about him. He came to the front so
rapidly and from such Insignificant
sources a few years ago, and while in
the picture achieved such remarkable
things for one of his kind, he impressed
not only the masses, but the classes of
Mexico, and became an object Of inter
est even in America. For time he was
discussed in connection with the presi-
dency Of Mexico.
What has happened once may happen
again. To prevent it happening, put an
end to Villa, and in a way to convince
both Mexico and America of the truth
of the performance.
