ONE THING AT A TIME

Members of Congress returning
from their districts and States are
reported as doubtful whether the
sentiment back home would now JUS
tify the sending of an army to Eu-
rope or hard and fast alliance with
the entente powers. With all due
respect, Congress does not have to
decide these questions now. The
single issue before it will be whether
we are or shall declare ourselves to
be at war with a nation which has
been warning upon us. Other mat
ters may wait the logic of events or
the matured purposes of the nation,
once war is declared. Declaring war,
Congress empowers the President to
use the land and naval forces of
the United States to make war and
votes the raising and disbursement
of the necessary funds. One thing
at a time.

HUSTING

The junior Senator from Wiscon-
sin is an example of sturdy Ameri-
canism. He was the first to expose
and denounce the propaganda of the
German-American Alliance when it
was deluging Congress with stupidity
stereotyped kilograms demanding
the support of the Gore-McLemore
folly. Coming from State supposed
to be dominated by the German vote,
he has stood four-square TO- every
wind that blew, in the Senate and on
the stump. He has made no COM
promises with his patriotism and
now has the reward of SEEING the
consolidation of American sentiment
{ IN his own State and the disappear
ance of hyphenism. Husting is a
S,hator with a national and not a
provincial outlook.

GARDENING VERSUS BASEBALL

It's a poor maxim that doesn't
work both ways.
For instance, if it's an i'll wind

logically follow that it's a good wind

Whether this logic will stand the
acid test of philosophic analysis, it
is. nevertheless the way Washington
small boys, commonly denominated
as "Young America" dope it out.
While the juvenile element appre-

propaganda promises to wreak havoc
on the "sand lot" leagues.

ENGLAND'S LESSON TO AMERI.
CAN WOMEN

There is every indication that the
women Of England are to be granted
suffrage. A majority of 279 yester-
day expressed the approval of the
House of Commons for a franchise
reform.
But even more interesting, more
prophetic, and more convincing than
the vote itself were the speeches of
former Premier Asquith, Andrew
Bonar Law, and Premier Lloyd
George which preceded the vote,
These men have not always favored
the enfranchisement of women, but
they have been led to favor it by
the sacrifices and services which
women have given to England since
the war began.
What the women of England have
done during that time has had an
effect that all the ante-war activities
Of i'll considered sorts could never
have accomplished. From being i'm
practical pickets they came to he
practical patriots. Instead of heck
ling, they helped.
The women of this country may
well gain lesson from their Eng
lish sisters and ceasing the means
they have hitherto employed gain all
they wish by more effective and con-
vincing methods.

Plea For Double Platoon System
Made By Wife of District Fireman
In Letter to The Times.
To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
Taking advantage of your invita-
tion to your readers to air their views
on different subjects, would call
attention to the time our husbands
are compelled to remain on duty in
the fire station. We hear a great
many stories about the wonderful
bravery of our men, and we women
OF the fire department know that
these stories are true. But are there
any stories OF the women who wait
and wait at home, and sometimes
wait In vain, for their heroes to re-
turn?
How often we see in the news
papers the accounts of heroic deeds
performed by our men. We women,
so closely allied to these faithful
men, know better than any one else
the meaning OF the dread fire alarm.
We have no way OF judging of the fu-
ture out by the past, and, judging,
by the past, we wish to know what
has there been in the conduct of
these men in the past forty years
to justify such punishment as keep
ing them on so hazardous duty with
out a day off? Other cities areadopt-
ing the two platoon system. Why not
the Capital? I know some cases
where a fireman has remained twen-
ty-three days on duty before he got
a day off. I appeal to the wives and
families OF the firemen to organize
and petition for relief.

TEA ROOM GETS HER CASH
Amusement Costs College Girl As
Much As Study.

BOSTON, March 2e-The answer
to part OF the high cost of college
at Wellesley, at least-lies in the
popular tea room, in taxioabs and in
magazines and newspapers.
The fudEe, ice cream and other
"sweeties" at the tea room appeal
wonderfully to the college maid, as
shown by statistics published in the
current issue Of the Wellesley College
News on personal expenditures OF the
girls during the first semester of the
first half of the 19161917 year.
One sophomore spent $75 at the tea
room during the first semester. The
champion eaxi-riders, a freshman and
junior. spent $40 each in this fash
ion.
The class Of 1918 spent in the first
half of this year an average per men,
ber OF 1882 for tea room, taxis,
magazines and newspapers, against
an average Of $21 for books and sup
plies.

MILITARY NECESSITY"

Only a few short months ago Ber-

of villages by the Roumanians re-
treating in the Dobrudja. Yet to-
day the German armies retreating
through northern France are leav-
ing behind them a devastation be-
side which the Dobrudja would ap-
pear as blooming garden. Military

sense of proportion, if, indeed, there
ever was such thing.

her courage when she probably saved

todian OF the county Jail here.
Mr.. Kennedy was feeding the pris-
oners when four OF the inmates made
an attack upon him for the purpose
of gaining their liberty. He was
thrown to the floor and was about to
be bound and gagged by his assail-
ants when Mrs. Kennedy, hearing the
noise, picked up a pistol and ran to
her husbands rescue.
She commanded the prisoners at the

that they will start their gardening
work early and with an interest
Following are some of the letters
received today:
