Mr. Hays Replies.

1
Detroit Free Press.
VIII H. Hays chairman Of the Re-
publican national committee, has
| transmitted quick and ample
answer to the Inquiry put to him by
Secretary Tumulty regarding certain
remarks which MIR. Hays was report
ed TO have made in Chicago on Labor
day. Mr.. Hays has said all in the
way of reputation that Mr.. Tumulty
possibly could desire, assuming that
such a denial was really wished for;
and ne has added for good measure
some pointed remarks that obviously
are less welcome. Perhaps Mr.
Tumulty IL even a trifle sorry that
hhc made his inquiry,
What Mr.. Hays was reported to
have averred was that the Demo-
cratic leaders in Washington won ID
not stop at anything they believed
would insure the reelection OF a
/ Democratic congress this fall. and
that they would even end the war
with any sort OF a compromise II
that would insure continuance OF
their party in power.
1t is rather curious that no gen.
eral prominence was given this sup
posed utterance until the text OF II
was sent out from Washington in
connection with Mr.. Tumulty's extra
ordinary demand for an explanation.
We say extraordinary demand. be-
cause on the face Of IL, the state
ment has misquotation. No man
fit for the responsible position which
Mr.. HAYS holds capably would be
guilty OF such an absurdity or OF
such tactical mistake, and Mr..
Tumulty surely must have known IT,
II Is difficult to understand how the
presidents secretary could have
made his query guilelessly and in
good faith. One cannot evade the
feeling that he was attempting TO
create situation for the purpose Of
Issuing II warning" to the Republic
ans to beware OF leso majeste.
IL Mr.. Tumulty had anything of
this sort In his mind he failed dis
mally. Denying the words attributed
to him, Mr.. Hays nevertheless de-
clared flatly that no had aSsailed the
methods OF certain emocratlc lead
ers.' and in referring to methods
employed in the Wisconsin senatorial
campaign by Democratic leaders"
he averred that those methods were
IAN Infamous prostitution of all
patriotic prophecies" and their ac-
N'''I l' Cdl'l, was TfDuhP0 IN the
Michigan primaries and at the Maine
election,
Since II is a matter OF common
knowledge that the situations which
arose In Wisconsin and in this state
were both the result Of open presi-
dental interference, TO say nothing
OF similar situations which have been
created by similar .interferences in
Mississippi, Texas Illinois, Georgia
and other states, Mr., Hays answer is
direct. and we believe, richly de-
served rchuke TO the president.
1t is flat notice that any immuni-
ties from criticism which war condi-
tons may give Mr.. Wilson as chief
executive, do not extend to Mr.. VIII
son acting as titular and directing
head OF the Democratic party, and
that they fail most emphatically
when Mr. Wilson attempts to use tho
prestige of his office for the benefit
of his party by resort to methods
that up to this time have been un.
heard OF in America, and indeed al

Every representative and one-third
OF the senators must either retire or

the secretary OF the treasury and
other members OF the federal admin

Suffragists Fear MothcrH

John L. lriSh.
The fury with which the political
women attack the senate TO force the
suffrage amendment through has a
reason which they do not make pub
lie.
II is known to them, as II is to 9TH
ers, that II women suffrage is re-
submitted to popular vote In the
states that have II now Il will he
voted out by three to one. | speak
through knowledge OF conditions in
these suffrage states, where sooner
or later there will be re-submission,
because "A majority OF women in each
state has seen its demoralizing effect
upon their sex and its corrupt influ-
ence upon politics, and Will register
and vote suffrage out. Mothers in
these states are thinking OF the future
OF their daughters and will vote to
save them.
This IL why the feminists, free
lovers and socialists desire to hurry
suffrage into the federal constitu-
tiOn where no state will have the
power to recall IT,
There is another view Of It to
which the attention OF the senate is
invited. The federal amendment is
demanded because its female advo-
Gates demand equality. But that
amendment does not give them
equality. II gives them superiority
for II puts woman suffrage under
the protection of the federal consti.
tuition but leaves male suffrage only
the protection of the states. Has the
senate thought OF that? Has It con
sidered the possible consequences Of
two kinds OF suffrage in this coun-
try, one superior and the other infer
rior?
Under that duplex system, II wom-
en- are in the majority In any state,
as they are in Massachusetts and
some western states, they can COM
bine and BY their ballot take the
franchise away from men entirely.
That the political women are entirely
capable Of this is abundantly proved
by the feminist literature. Malevo-
lcnce toward man is an attribute OF
the female suffragist. Just now they
are organized in California to pester
the legislature to pass law which
will deprive the husband of the right
TO make a will, leaving that right to
the wife unimpaired as she has is
now. Verify these things teach and
eXhort.

Tho Railway Experiment.


Government operation OF the rail.
roads Is still In the experimental
stage, and II would be improper at
this time to draw any definite OF
final conclusions from the data al
hand. With this reservation In mind
however. we may nevertheless con-
slider the implications OF the recen,
report Of the interstate commerce
commission.
According to this report. the OPP
Grating expenses during June OF this
year exceeded the earnings by S5S,-
959, 900, whereas In June OF 1917 the
earnings exceeded the operating eN-
penses by s9S ,909, 600. In other
words, the railroads under private
ownership managed TO show a mar
gin OF profit, but under public opera e
ton they not only failed TO break
even hut actually came out with a
deficit nearly as great as the profit
OF year ago.
There are certain explanations
which serve TO mitigate the apparent
case against government operation.
During May the increase In railway
wages became effective. an increase
amounting to some S3OO,OOO,OOO a
year. We must also take into ac-
count the fact that the cost Of fuel
and equipment increased by a very
large percentage; for the year 1918
II is estimated that this Increase
would amount TO figure varying
between E200,000,000 and 100000
900.
To offset these increased expenses
the director general has very largely
advanced freight and passenger rates,
These advances became effective
during June, and the returns for
that month naturally do not show
the full effect of the higher rates.
But even after taking all these cir
cumstances into consideration, COM
petent critics are at loss to under
stand why the ledger account should
vary so greatly from last year. II
has been suggested that the quality
OF service on the part of the rail-
road employees has deteriorated under
government ownership, the eNplana-
tion being that an employe has a
greater sense OF responsibility In
working for private owners who are
represented by his immediate super
iors than in working for some
what intangible institution, such as
the government. II was expected
that this loss in efficiency would be
counterbalanced by the economies
which could obviously be accom-
plished under centralized control and
management: but the facts do not
seem to bear out the assumption
The Taiload administration may yet
demonstrate that II is more cconOm
ical and more efficient than private
management Certainly no one Would
wish to discredit public operation on
the basis of incomplete information
but at the same time II must be ad-
mitted that the experiment has not
thus far been completely successful.
