PRESIDENT ENDORSES SUFFRAGE

President Wilson has given his personal endorse.
ment to the proposal for = federal amendment removins
all Ax distinctions from our political system. On other
occasions he has refused to do this on the ground that,
whatever his personal desires in the matter nigh, he,
he had no right to seek to impose them on the othe.
members 81 his party, and that the party itself had
taken no action on the subject. The President has voted
for woman suffrage in his own state, and it has generals
|ly been understood that he regarded the subject a. one
to be dealt with by the states themselves. in the exercise
of their sovereign powers. =
The present declaration comes in answer to 4 reouees
from congressional members OF the Presidents party tor
information as to his attitude and for advise fr~sa him.
In response the President made his statement in su2ecs.
Of the proposed amendment and expressed the hope tia.
the congressman would vote for it IL their eonse;enees
would permit them to do so.
OF course the Presidents callers did not Just hap
pen to drop insto ask his advice. nor was the advice
given on the kpurN OF the moment. The call vas ar
ranged, and the statement was carefully prepared. This
action was evidently taken as the most convenient way
Of disposing Of a subject which was full OF irritation and
annoyance without needleesly run1ins the feelings Of
those in the southern states who are particularly opposed
to woman suffrage because Of the additions which it will
make to the colored vote.

"SELF DETERMINATION"

We hear much Of late about the self determination
Of peoples. Germany has proposed that the future of
Poland and the Baltic provinces of Russia be left to be
decided by the residents Of those provinces. Why is
not that fair? What objections to it can come con-
sistently from nations which call themselves democratic.
which insist that governments derive their just powers
from the consent Of the governed?
The hypocrisy in this German proposal lies in the
fact that the provinces in question are occupied by
German troops. with the normal population scattered
or terrorized. To call for a decision by the few actual
residents Of those provinces who are in any way identi-
fed. with the territory which they inha bit, while Ger
man guns are pointed at their heads would be to per-
petrate one OF, the solemn farces in the staging Of which
Germany has become adept.
There can be no self-determination under duress.
The same principle applies to the conditions in Alsace-
Lorraine. Senator Gronna does not approve of the
presidents address because instead of insisting on the
Fighting of the wrong done France in wrestling those
provinces from her the president did, not prescribe for
the people Of those provinces self government under
German national sovereignty. That suggestion is worthy
of Senator Gronna or any other German partisan. 1t
is not worthy of anybody else. q

WHEAT ACREAGE
To increase his production of graf,

To increase his production of grain as largely as
possible is one of the duties that every farmer owes to
his country, just as the individual engaged in any other
9ccupation owes it to his country to increase his pro-
ductiveness as much as he can. There is special need
for a larger production Of wheat, because wheat, which
is the food crop most needed both here and abroad, the
most staple, most easily transported and used, is the
crop in which, Of all the main food crops, there is the
greatest shortage. Increased prohibition depends, in a
measure, on increased acreage. But the two may part
company. Large acreage and Indifferent cultivation
may mean a smaller aggregate production than smaller
acreage with better cultivation. And, even with the best
methods Of culture, there are limits beyond which the
farmer may not wisely SO in adding to his grain acre
age. There is always the possibility that acreage may
be devoted to wheat that ought to be given to son1e-
thing else. The nation will not be we'll served by the
farmer who wastes energy in the effort to grow wheat
on land that is not fit for wheat, even though there
may be a slight increase in his aggregate production.
There is such a thing as producing things at too great
cost; and If land is used for wheat which, because of
its character. ought to be growing grass, there is a loss
of labor, and the country needs the full enectivenesa
of every man in it. The wise selection Of land for wheat
issas important as the increase of acreage.

SOUND AMERlcANlSM

There is sound Americanism in the attitude of Dan
". Lawler Of Minnesota with reference to the election of
public odicialsi n this year Of war. Mr.. IAwler,Ss II a
democrat. He has occupied a prominent position in The
counsels of his party. But he realizes. ~ all good
Americans do. that this is no time to play party polit,se.
He urges the reelection Of Governor Burnquist on the
strength of his record in supporting the federal admin
istration in the war. and he places special emphasis on
the importance of retaining in the senate Senator Mel.
son. another Republican, whose wise counsel. strong
common sense and unwaverins patriotism are needed in
the national government at this time. )
\ few days ago The Herald quoted from soreeeHt
article by Vice. President Marshall a sentence or two sex-
pressive Of the same spirit. Mr.. Marshall expresses re-
sret that under our system there is no way in which
elections can be escaped this year. II It could be done
it would undoubtedly be to the advantage Of the coun-
try to avoid them. 1t cannot be done. and the next b.st
thing is for all patriotic people to see to it that they are
conducted with as little as possible Of controversy over
non-essential matters. We cannot afford to waste our
energy in party or factional struggles. A5

GEN. PERSHMC AND MRS. GRUNDY

The short-story writer has ground a huge srist from
war material and one of his chief sources Of supply has
been the French institution Of hlleul (godson)> in the
trenches and marianne Godnother) at home-their COR
respondence, their growing interest, their meeting, their
romance. The American Soldiers Godmothers' League
has sought to introduce the same scheme into our army.
And now comes General Pershing and requests the
league to cease its efforts. He does not want His sol-
diers, he says. corresponding with strange women. ( ~
o tempora! o romance! Is America, wherein SO
many happy marriages have been brought about by the
simple device Of the country n,aiden's writing her name
on an egg before shipping it, wherein the matrimonial
bureaus have 80 long existed and f~lourtshed, wherein
convention has played TO minor a role-is America to
take up the championship Of the proprieties? True,
General Pershing offers another reason. He fears tsat
the sodmotherly correspondence may interfere with the
transport Of more necessary mail. But this may be re-
sarded a a subterfuge. The postmaster general has
made arrangements for wholesale transportation Iof
masazines-it is only necessary to put on a 1rcent
stamp and hand the magazine to a postman-and would
not any soldier prefer the warm exchange Of persona1i-
ties to the cold type Of editorials and advertisements ?
General Pershing may be right. He must be right.
He knows the soldiers and he knows the situation. But
who could have imagined that he would have taken
his present stand? It is as If he had called Mrs. Grundy
to the colors.-Chicago Herald.

COSSACKS RALLY
TO KALEDISES.

London, Thursday. Jan. 1c.-A
majority OF the Cossacks and the
population of the Don district are
grouping themselves around the Don
military government under General
kaledines. according to a special dis
patch from Petrosrad tending Is give
an authorized account Of conditions in
south Russia. General Kaledines'
principal aim is not t o fight tho Sol
sheviki. but to consolidate demo-
cratic republican power of the Don
district.
General Alexier, former Russian
commander.in-chief. around whom
has gathered a corps o~f'son,e $4,000
officers. has considered it necessary to
organize a struggle against the Boil
sheviki on an all-Russian plan and to
create in Russia a moderate liberal
regime. Monarchial principles are
said to be very strong among Alekieff's
group. d
General Kaledines and his party or.
pose General Alexieff in his desire to
utilize the Don government against the
Bolsheviki and is willing to include
in the Don government representa-
tives Of all democratic organizations in
order to bring an end to civil war.
