TIME news that Lady Rhondda has
petitioned the British government
to permit her, "as her right" to
take her husbands seat in the House Of
Lords will be of peculiar interest to
American women who can and do ap
preclate ''gumption."
Until January /, 1916, Lady Rhondda
was plain Mrs. Thomas. Had her hus-
band died then she would have
vote now, under the new order of things
IN England, which grants the right of
franchise to women between certain ages.
But on January /, 1916, her husband
was made Peer of the realm. Because
Of that his widow has no vote, just as
MS wife would have had no vote.
There is one class of men in England
Of title is denied the franchise granted
to his valet and his chauffeur But he
has the House of Lords to sit in. He
can vote all he wants to there, and al
though he cannot vote for Members of
Parliament he can cast vote to veto
any measure passed by Lne House or
commons if it does not suit him.
Peeresses have no vote. No matter
now rich and famous they and their fam
iiies, they can have no VOICE in Britain's
government-while every woman mum
ton worker in the land, and the
peeresses' own housemaids, exercise the
newy-acquired right at the polls
And there is no House of Ladies to
console them, as there is House of
Lords for the men. What is to be done
ABOUT it? Let them sit in the House of
Lords. az Lady Rhondda proposes?

throughout the state as Governor Anne"
And it looks now as though the voters of
Nevada might change her title to ''U S.

come around, so that they may boast of
sending not only the first woman to the
United States Senate, but of sending a

The Platform of
an Independent

Now she is to run for the Senate on an
independent ticket-a political path
which few statesmen have trod with sue
cess. 1t means not only that she will
hight her final campaign against both
Republican and a Democratic candidate.
but that her name will probably be
placed in an obscure corner of the ballot,
and the casual voter who, though he
does not grow in such great numbers as
he used to, is still considerable factor
IN general elections, is likely to overlook
her when he scratches his ballot. Never
theless Anne Martins chances for cleo
ton are not to be despised.
Her platform is comprehensive and
explicit. 1t begins with pledge of
loyalty to President Wilson and his war
policy, and includes plans for the agri-
cultural development of Nevada through
conservation Of waters and the opening
up Of new land under Federal and state
direction; Federal farm loans at low
rates; providing farms for returned SOL
diers; elimination of freight discrimina-
tons against Nevada, and the lowering
Of railroad fares for the protection of
seasonal labor. A state and national
prohibition plank is inserted as war
measure for the conservation of food
materials and man power And she con-
cludes with: winning the spiritual issue
of the war: to make the world safe for
democracy"

Every Woman a Judge
In Her Own Right

Besides the large class of mothers,
there are innumerable women whose jobs
involve the administering of justice
There are the thousands of teachers,
kindergartners, settlement workers; ;
wherever it is necessary to have control
over children or young folk almost in
variably one finds a woman on the job
The trained nurse has the even harder
task of securing obedience from the
grown-up patient, who is often-espe-
cially if man-wholly unreasonable.
The day has long passed since women
felt it necessary to have mans guild
ance, and the most cursory reading of
the fiction of the day or the most casual
survey of ones acquaintance proves
that women constantly exercise this
natural and acquired gift of training
and guiding men.
Older women feel it up to them to
bring up boy-who may be any,
where from twenty to thirty-and use
various methods in the process. One
looks in vain for companion articles to

Made Ny Husband Go to Church,

most thoroughly with the
conclusions of this letter,
that no one should follow in the
wake of the militant suffragists in
Washington. or encourage any one
else to do so. If Mrs. Pankhurst

women to inaugurate it.

Sap Brings Out Various and Sundry Picks for Mythical
 Championship Teams

Picking mythical ball teams, icom- posed of the champion players in both majors, has long been great spring sport. Also there is nearly always some argument among fandom as to which of the major organizations is the stronger but this debate has practi- cally been settled in favor of the American league since the last few worlds series in which the junior cir cult has returned with the spells regu- larly.
 The apparent superiority of Ban Johnson's league was better evidenced last fall than ever before when the Giants who were far aoove oener T. tional league clubs, lost to the White Sox, who had only a shade on two or three of their rivals.
 Some bug has attempted to pick an all-American and an all-National league team and expresses the opinion that in the event of their meeting the score would be close These two aggregations are composed of the best men, he says, in their particular places in each cir cuit Just how they would play to- gether is another matter, but then they never will. so why worry. Here's his choice.

civic organizations and public spirited citizens in general are expected to set on the band wagon and root for q record breaking opening day crowd.
 As usual. the Boys Industrial School band, in military formation, will pa- rade the streets and march out to the park when they will delight fandoEl with martial music during intermis- sions. It is not known yet whether the merchants will close or not. as so many demands have been made on them recently, but if they do remain open the chances are that most of their employees will be given an op- portunity to get out to the game if they choose.
 In addition to the 0 per cent to be given by the local association Presi- dent Baugh announces that he will dorate s100 for the same purpose should Birmingham "kop the kup." The committee in charge. composed of A. C. Crowder. F. H. Andrews and l., Sevier. have not decided what cause this money will go to- but it is pror- able that the Girls Training school and the Boys Industrial school will split the purse.

 SOLDIERS ERRORS
Fike Pitches Good Game, X But Receives Poor Sup
 port in the Pinches

Aided by the rotten fielding of his
 teammates, who made numerous errors
 of omission and commission, young Fike
 of the Camp Mcclellan team was showed
 under by the Barons yesterday to the
 tune If g to O. The khaki-clad port
 slder pitched a very creditable game,
 the 15 hits secured by the locals being,
 for the most part, errors of judgment ty tile visiting fielders. Fike struck out Black and Altenberg three times each and Southworth twice.
 The visitors threatened to score only once. Tn the fifth inning Wells was safe
 on Re.nsen's error and went to second on a fielders choice. Wingfield hit safe to the infield advancing Wells to third. Giles drew pass, filling the sacks. With 1, ,oniy one out it looked like a good chance for the soldier boys, but Eddie McDon- aid nllled his hidden ball trick at shis fsts se and Fike grounded to second, re- tiring the side.

Four more scores came in the eighth on hits by Bernsen, Clark, Debus, Black and AL l tenDerg, accompanied by several more wild throws on the ypart of the soldiers l Black pitched good ball for the locals allowing only five hits and turning the

What the outcome of the pennant races in the two leagues will be only the fu- ture can disclose. In the American league the Chicago White Sox, world champions, are conceded to have the edge in playing strength and confidence which comes with the capturing of a championship. One or two of the rival combinations, particularly the New York Americans, have been strengthened as the result of trades and cash purchases, and it is likely that the race for first place will be fully up to the standard of past years.
 In the National league the New York Giants winners of the 1917 pennant are still the favortes for the flag, but on paper at least the team does not appear to be quite as impressive as year ago. In addition, there is certain to be greater opposition on the part of two or three clubs which have built up stronger teams than were available last season. In a general way Cincinnati and St Louis appear prominently in this particular, with at least one other combination in the role of a dark horse.

CATION MAKES GOOD
 WITH P|TTSbURG Smith and Hill Fell Victims to Injury and Draft, So
 Were Not Retained

It's always more or less interesting to read what other folks think about our ball players, especially when they are trying out for big league berths. The following paragraphs culled from re- cent issue of the Sporting News, were included in a Pittsburg dispatch com menting on the progress or the Pirates at Jacksonville. It is interesting to note the reasons assigned by this scribe for the release of Carmen Hill and Red Smith, also to hear that Kid Caton is regarded as a regular at short:
 RED A GAMBLE
 "The catching staff has been reduced by the release of Willard (Red) Smith, who has been returned to the Birming ham club of the Southern association, from which he was secured last fall He was taken under an agreement whereby he could be returned during the first week of April, if his retention was not desired.
 "A few days ago, Smith was ordered home to undergo physical examination for the army. He has grounds for exemption from army service, and it is pesumed that he will soon be called into service Under the. circumstances, the Pittsburg club decided to return him. He was shaping up well in camp, and but for the call from the government, would probably have been retained. His going does not wreck the catching de- partment, however, and the chances are that the Pirates will be much stronger behind the bat than they were year ago.
 CATION STARS
 Young Caton seems to fill the bill al short, and he is almost sure, to be sta toned there when the locals open ur against >Christy Mathewsons much-tout- ed Redlegs at Cincinnati. Caton is a lit tie fellow with short arms, but he wields heavy bat, and gets real distance into his blows. His pals at Jacksonville have marveled at the power behind his hits and have admitted that they cannot un- !; derstand how 'he does it. However, ht l is huskily built has a broad pair ol shoulders, well-developed muscles, an6 swings hard on the ball. He looks like 2 mighty fine prospect. and Manager Beg dek seems to think he Is real jewel.
 ABOUT HILL
 "The pitchers have been shoulderine their Hull share of the work, with thi exception of Carmen Hill. This youns man wrenched his back shortly after h; reported, and Bezde.l allowed him t take matters easy. in the hope that : little later he might be useful. but, fail ing to improve. it was decided to sene him back to Birmingham"
