Stair is a Democrat and-a Nonpar-

a few days ago Mr.. Doyle showed
where he stood by making o red hot
loyalty speech in Fargo. He paid his
and all its workings, denounced the
league as disloyal and called them
profiteers Of the worst sort.
This places an unequivocal issue
before the patronage dispensers OF
the administration. To reappoint
Doyle after his characterization OF
the league as a disloyal organization
would be a reasonably positive action
and would squint ut an appreciation
of the charge. To name Stair in
Doyle's place after Doyle's outspoken
statement of position and in view OF
Stairs wholesale Endorsement by the
Nonpartisan league, would be equally
positive in its expression Of approval,

also over the fact that c. George

The American people, along with the
whole allied world 1--WE don't know
whether to count Russia in or not j will
express the fervent hope that Sir Eric
Geddes, first lord of the British admiral
ty, was telling the exact fact when he
stated in Parliament speech that the
allies are sinking German submarines as
fast as the boats are being turned out ;
that is, they are not allowing Germany's
supply of undersea boats to increase. II
that is being accomplished at the present
time, it may not be too much to expect
that the trend toward the allied cause
will be even better as the days proceed
inasmuch as the facilities for fighting
the submarines are, constantly growing
in strength and efficiency. Granting that
the statement of Sir Eric Geddes was
founded on fact and granted. also, that
the American war bearing strength is
getting into its stride, there will be rea
son to believe the statement of another
British official several weeks ago. to the
effect that by August of 1918 the sharp
ness of the submarines sting will be

woMAN's SUFFRAGE TRIED IN
VERMONT.

Taken throughout the state as a
whole, the initial appearance Of women
in local elections may be considered a
successful experiment both as TO tho
number OF registered women who exer-
cised the right of franchise and as to
their adaptability to tho unusual ex'
perlence. In some OF the towns, where
there was fairly large registration of
women there was not correspondingly
largo number OF women az the polls. the
effort 90 get them 20 register not having
been followed up by purpose TO get
them to vote. the women, of course, not
showing enough interest 10 go to the
polls OF their own volition. In other
places, notably the larger centers Of pop.
ulation, there was surprisingly large
women's vote, far better than among
tho men in those same communities; and
they conducted their part of the town
meetings in expeditions and intelligent
fashion, II the various reports are to be
taken for their face value. In a few
places the overthrow of license may be
in large part ascribed to the introduce
ton of this new element in the voting
strength of the separate communities,
probably Burlington and st. Adams be-
ing the most notable examples of this in
huence. But the results attained are not
so much the gauge of the success of
women's suffrage as is the proportion of
representation of women at the polls, the
measure of interest shown by the vot
ers. In this latter respect the trial of
suffrage will be counted as
success in the larger places where the
of women registration had
ia most forceful drive; and it is TO be
expected that continuation of the drive

II may be stimulus to patriotism
for President Wilson to stand up in a
Washington theatre and address the au.
dience on subjects pertaining to the war !;
but we are inclined to doubt the wisdom
of permitting such a thing to take place.
We are reminded of what happened in
another theatre in Washington when war
was on and when rancor had spread
through the minds of people in the Unit
cd States. We had a martyred president
even though President Lincoln did not
thrust himself upon the public gaze of
the audience but kept to the seclusion of
his box Now when there is an element
at large and bitterly opposed TO the
president and willing to do anything to
injure the United States, it would be a
reasonable exercise OF prudence for the
chief executive of the nation to be better
safeguarded than to be permitted to stand
in theatre box and address an audience
assembled from all walks of life and
without discrimination as to the sale of
tickets.
