a system of administration, and in the lev

Laws About Legs
By Sarah Addington
EVERYBODY has his pet propriety, and
IL SO has every town. Some /of them

TVERYBODY has his pet propriety, and
u SO has every town. Some /of them
stick it out for curfews and hang
the whole towns morals on the bell rope.
If the curfew rings the town council can
sleep with peace O. mind for pillow.
Others close their restaurants at mid
night and rest on the assumption that wnen
the restaurant doors are closed all the de-
cences have been attended to. Some pro-
hbit 10 o'clock walks through the public
parks, if the walkers happen to be soldiers
and girls, on the ground that civilians and
girls together at such an hour would be
strictly within the scope of the moral law,
though soldiers and girls wouldn't.
And New York, the wicked, the daring,
the unconventional, New York says that la
dies may not go bathing unless they wear
stockings on their legs. It's all right for
women to vote it's proper for them to go
into muniton factories, but, by Jove, there's
a limit somewhere so we stop just short of
bare legs for swimming.
Now any man knows that if he tied up
his feet in bundles he couldn't enjoy his
lSSS III LNc water. w omen KNOW lC, 100, ana
they've sneaked off to secret pools just
enough 70 know also that nothing in the
world comes as close to heaven as a moon
light swim with suit at all. Still with
all this wisdom the women go patiently on
wrapping up their legs in stockings, strap
ping up their feet in shoes, and only COM
planning to each other at the silly prudish-
ness of it all. They giggle, too, when they
see the monstrosites of male build that are
allowed to go unveiled and uncovered on
public beaches; they giggle because they
know in their women's hearts that if art,
instead Of morals, had anything to do with
it the men would be the ones who would be
booted and legginged.
But it isn't really morals, after ALL For
there is Boston. The town of the bean and
the cod could never be charged with being
scandalous in public, yet on Revere Beach,
which is Boston's Coney Island every other
pair of bare legs is woman's, and there
isn't stocking on the beach.
Or is it morals? Can Boston be said to
have a higher sense of the good, the true
and the beautiful than New York~-too
proud to stoop to make laws about legs?

punity. Dispatches from Washington
say the Navy Department people would
not be surprised to hear of the lombard
ment of unfortifed coast resorts. Nor,
in fact, would anybody else, for if a
U-boat can sink tanker just outside
New York Harbor, it can shoot up Allan
tic City or drop shells on Coney Island.
Probably the Navy Departments re-
sources are SO fully employed in protect
ing essential military shipping that the
means Of defending our vast stretch Of
coastline are inadequate. That, in fact,
is to be assumed. We were unprepared
to meet the U-boat on these shores. But
If that is the situation it would seem that
the government might issue warnings ac-
cordingly, so that people should know
where danger is.
horrible German atrccity upon some
unfortified seaside place is evidently
possible, and if it should occur the Navy
Department would be blamed for having
merely scoffed at the military value of
the U-boat's exploits.

decidedly, yes. She was born on August
13, 1918. So her centenary has just
passed. What is a hundred years in the
life of the world? Surely, not much. We
ought not to expect great changes in so
short a span.
Touching women, however, there has
been motion and plenty Of it. Enough to
make an anti-suffragist dizzy, if he or
she would take his or her eyes away from
the particular change now under discus
sion and glance back to gain some per-
spective toward what was long since dis
cussed and adopted and forgotten. Run
over Lucy Stones life, for instance, as
reminder.
She was the daughter of Massachu-
setts farmer. There we're no high schools
for girls in 1918 and, Of course, no col
leges or professional schools. 1t was
thought unwomanlv even to join a tenn
perance society-or an antislavery asso-
citation. Legally, all the old common law
disabilities Of a woman still persisted. A
wifes entire property and earnings be-
longed to her husband. And SO on.
Womans place was literally in the home.
Well, Lucy Stone did go to school. She
did go to college. (She was graduated from
Oberlin in 1S47) Her husbands sister,
Elizabeth Blackwell, was the first woman
in America to take a medical degree Gin
1S49). Another sisterin-law was the
first woman TO be ordained a minister
A pioneer group, it will be seen. Lucy
Stone--she was the wife of Henry B.
Blackwell, but retained her own name by
agreement-studed Greek and Latin and
higher mathematics and all the other hor-
rible high secrets that had always been
the sacred property of males. And the
heavens did not fall. Instead, other
women followed in her footsteps, the foot
steps became path, and to-day not even
the most hot-headed anti-suffragist would
dream Of turning women back to their
lot of 1873
A rather pathetic figure was Lucy
Stone in many ways. What pioneer is
not? Yet if the universe is so ordained
that she can on the centenary of her
birth look down and read "Times" edi-
torial page Of 1918, with it's 1918 argu-
ments against letting women have what
they earnestly desire, we think the hu-

The Angelus

A good idea is the suggestion Of the
Rotary Club for daily minute of
prayer, meditation or whatever other
emotion the war happens that day to
place in our hearts. "Angclus" may not
be the ideal name for the thing. The
hour of l o'clock in the morning may
not be the best hour. Why not the noon
hour, for instance? But the proposal
appeals strongly; it looks in the right
direction. May something come of it!
The truth is that this is an emotional
time, the most emotional years any of
us are ever likely to know. And our
national customs and habits give little
opportunity to the expression of these
new-found, deep and strange feelings.
Probably minute Of daily silent thought
by all Of us, as individuals, is as good
way as can be devised for focusing these
emotions and giving them silent voice.
Let the bells sound. Hearts were long
ago ready to answer.

The Roaming U-Boat

Germany's U-boat campaign on our
Atlantic Coast began in May and has
been so far highly futile, not to say a
ludicrous, performance Nothing Of mill
itary value has been achieved The toll
is made up Of fishing smacks, coal scows,
a few coastwise vessels and one obsolete
warship. After the first shudder and
thrill OF interest people began to treat
1T rather as a nuisance than a menace.
The spectacle Of a frightful submarine
in combat with tug and barges off Cape
Cod threw the whole affair into comic re-
lief. And as the U-boat continued to
bag non-essentials in its heroic German
way the Navy Department was increas-
ingly admired for the success with which
1T bafied the real purpose Of this abom-
Unable visitation. Nearly three months
have passed, and it is still TO be appreci-
ated that the great military lane through
which one and quarter million of troops
and immeasurable quantities Of ammu-
milton and sustenance have passed re-
mains untouched. This il a fact Of the
highest Importance Military values
come first.
Nevertheless, the sinking of an oil
tanker at the very gates Of New York
Harbor is a disagreeabc reminder that
the German U-boats are roaming up and
down the Atlantic Coast with much i'm

Irnpudent Sedition

Eugene V. Debs, Victor Berger and
Adolph Germer, all three of them under
indictment for seditious activities, are
suffered to go up and down the country
Haunting not alone their own disloyalty,
but that also of the Socialist Party of
America, which they dominate, with the
prudent and sinister assistance Of its
great unindicted prophet, Morris Hill
quit
After a four-day conference of the
leaders and state chairmen at Chicaxg,
Debs, Berger and Germer collectivel lv'and
severally announce that the doctrine of
disaffection set forth in the notorious St.
Louis platform last year shall stand.
This platform commits the Socialist
party to the propositions, viz;
ID That the declaration Of war
against Germany was a crime
(2) That it is capitalistic war, dis
honorably forced upon the people.
(s) That the party's attitude shall
be one of continuous, active and pub
lie opposition to the war through
demonstrations, mass petitions and all
other means within our power"
= (4) That sabotage shall not be for
bidden.
90 That workers in all countries
shall be called upon to refuse to sup
port their governments in war.
That is the doctrine to which the in
dicted leaders of the party implicitly re-
affirm their adherence. Explicitly to re-
state it in public would be unlawful.
That is to say, one who should get up in
a public place and read the ST. Louis
platform as his own views would be sub
ject to arrest under the sedition act.
Rose Pastor Stokes was convicted for
less. But Debs and Berger and Germer
may with impunity reafirm it as party
orthodoxy.
Upon the St. Louis platform the So
cialist Party Of America is an enemy or
ganization. Because of that platform all
the true Americanism, led by men like
Spargo and Russell, has gone out of it.
The residue is our $4,000 Bolsheviki. We
wonder that Lenine and Trotzl1y have
not been instigated by the Germans to
recognize them as constituting a sepa
rate and friendly state.
New-York tribune., 1918-08-15
The New Czecho-Slovak State

A new European state has emerged.
II is the state of the Czecho-Slovaks, rec
ognized on Tuesday by the British gov
ernment-and recognized previously by
by France and Italy. 1t has no capital
as yet, and not even name. But 1t has
an army and citizenship imbued with
fiery patriotism. 1t is a racial entity,
and, so far as Bohemia and Moravla are
concerned, it is an easily distinguishable
geographical entity.
Never have a people struggling for
liberty done more to deserve it than have
these Czecho-Slovaks. They have fought
for it on their own soil, as generations
of agitation and martyrdom bear wit
ness. Shut in between Germany and
Austria, they have not been able to
shake off the yoke of dependency to
Teuton overlords. But they have bided
their time. By freak of destiny the
opportunity came to them to win their
freedom by fighting for it in distant
lands. They have escaped by tens OF
thousands from the Austro- Hungarian
have organized under their own flag in
countries at war with Austria Hungary.
They are fighting in Italy and in France,
and in Siberia and Russia proper they
have been able to carry through the
great romantic adventure of this war,
rendering the Allies service of incal-
culable benefit.
1t is due to them that the Germaniza-
tion of Russia was halted and that a new
Eastern front is soon to be established.
Isolated and thrown entirely on their
own resources, they have accomplished
task which most of the Allied war staffs
thought it a practical impossibility to ac-
complish. They have earned indepen-
dence by showing themselves superbly
qualified for it.
1t is regrettable that the United States
did not earlier extend official recognition
to the new Czecho-Slovak nation. In
this, as in so many other matters, the
lack of coordinating inter-Allied polit-
ical council and of joint Allied policy
is unfortunately conspicuous. We should
not nave peen behind France, Italy and
Great Britain in greeting the new state.
Seventy years ago the United States
was in a furor of enthusiasm over
kossuth's effort to free Hungary from
the rule of the Hapsburgs. Congress
passed resolutions extollng the Hungari-
an patriots, and even after Kossuth was
defeated and exiled he was received here
as one of the greatest figures of his time.
Hungary, fighting for liberty in 184s,
reentered into partnership with Austria
and became an even harsher oppressor
OF her subject peoples than Austria had
been. The Czecho-Slovaks have done
more for us than Hungary ever did. Our
gratitude as we'll as our sympathy should
go out to them. We should lose no time
in recognizing their independence and
saluting their flag
