The President on world Democracy
and Woman'S Rights.

The appearance of President WILL
SON in the Senate Chamber yesterday,
urging the passage of the suffrage
amendment resolution as a war meas
ure, Is among the most remarkable in
cidents of these remarkable times. His
appeal Is all the more impressive be-
cause the President was regarded not
long ago as one of the most powerful
supporters and expounders of the con-
stitutional theory that woman suf-
frage should come, IL it does come, by
State determination and not by Fed
eral Initiative.
How many things that appeared
doubtful or complex have been clari-
ned and made simple by the tremen-
dous experience which the world is
now undergoing. The same process
Of simplification to which Mr.. WILSON
referred In his address in the Metro
politan Opera House last Tuesday
night. when he pointed out that this
has become n peoples war, not a
statesmen's war, and that statesmen
must follow this clarified common
thought or be broken, explains his
own change Of attitude regarding the
method Of securing for women the
equal rights and privileges to which
they are justly entitled.
In the Presidents view the time
has gone by for differences of opinion
as to method where those differences,
however respectfully entertained on
either side, serve only to delay re-
suit that has become necessary to
the fulflment of the greater purpose
he has in mind. So, separating him
self entirely from his earlier ideas
about State rights in the matter of
the franchise, he goes to the Senate
at the critical moment, when only a
vote or two Is required to send the
Federal measure to the States for
ratification, and points out the rela-
ton between woman suffrage and
world democracy-the world democ-
racy for the safety of which we and
our allies are fighting.
'The plain, struggling, workaday
folk" says the President to the Sen
ate, stink in their logical simplicity
that democracy means that women
shall play their part in affairs along
side men and on an equal footing with
them. If we reject measures like
this. In ignorance or defiance of what
new age has brought forth, they
will cease to believe in us; they will
cease to follow or trust u.s."
Mr.. WILSON is a wonderful dialec-
tician. More than that, he is states
man and politician who knows how to
strike when the iron is hot.

Labor prices naturally will swing
toward normal, to the advantage Of
the people who have been badly
plnched by the cost Of living; but
there will be plenty Of room for the
returned soldier II America makes
that room for him now. The way to
do it. is to spend money only for
things that are utterly necessary; to
anticipate in advance the saving that
will come from this. and to buy bonds

will be put now where It Is needed,
and the opportunity to work will be
ready when the soldier returns.

Buy Bonds! and Let Some Things
Wait.

In an article in the North Amcri-
can Repie,o on the conditions that
will meet the American soldier on
his return home after the war BAR
BARA SPoFFoRD MORGAN says:
"It Is to be anticipated that the first
market to feel the shock OF peace is
the labor market. Into it will be
poured some millions OF men, many of
whom are more physically fit than ever
before"
The matter of finding places for
these millions of men would be a
serious one If the American people
had insisted and continued to insist
upon having all the luxuries of life as
well as It's necessities; and had, by
some miracle of industry, compelled
the farms and the factories to turn
out the non-esseptial things of every
day life as well rs the essential prod
ucts of war time.
Americans, however, have not only
been going without certain luxuries
but in the next year, or until after
the ink of the last phrase of a real
peace Is dried under the blotter at
the worlds most important confer
ence, they are going to make more
and more sacrifices. In order TO pay
for double the number of bonds that
they took at the last issue they are
going to double their list of Things
That Must Wait. The effect upon
the industries producing the non-es-
sentials wifi be immediate. The labor
that has been used In the creation
of these articles will be diverted to
the channels of essential work. A
man who wants piano will post
pone its purchase and buy $500 more
In bonds than he could have bought
If he ordered the piano. The work
men who would have built an instru-
ment to take the place Of the bought
piano will find essential employment
and good wages, perhaps in the same
factory building.
At the end of the war some luxuries
of to-day will resume their place rs
necessities. We shall have learned
thrift, but not stinslness. The piano
will be bought, for six billion dollar
issues Of bonds will be at an end.
The former makers OF pianos will 90
back to their old Jobs, or else re-
turned soldiers will fill them. Many
of the women workers who have left
the clothing factories will be at
tracted back, for Mrs. Smith will
start dressing up again. The returned
soldier will find thousands OF facto-
ries that seek men to make the things
which Americans have gone without
In order to lend their money to the
Government. He will be wanted to
make the articles, from steel beams

The Bulgarians sent from Sofia to
the conference at Salonica were rep
resentatives of the army and the peo-
pie. The armlstlce which they signed
as preliminary to terms Of peace was
an expression of the desire of the
Bulgarian nation. The Bulgars were
drawn into the war principally
through the connivance of their Gar
and the pro-German militarlstic
party; they continued in it with lit
tie enthusiasm, and in the face Of the
deprivations and hunger which came
IN its train they have willingly seized
an opportunity TO withdraw.
The promise of aid from Berlin and
Vienna Is scarcely likely of fulfilment.
Troops cannot be withdrawn from
the western front without imperllllng
the strength of the resistance there.
The transfer of regiments from the
italian or Albanian fronts would re-
suit in q weakness on these lines that
the Italians would quickly take nd
vantage of. To send Won MAcKEN-
SENS army Of occupation to Bulgaria
would open the way to the revolt
against the German rule that has been
seething in Rumanla ever since 1t was
subjugated. The present would not
appear Opportune for carrying out
Berlins threat of taking the control
Of the Bulgarian army away from
Bulgaria" and putting 1t under Ger
man commanders. The Bulgars have
very concisely expressed themselves as
finished with Teutonic domination.
The part that the shrewd FERDI-
KAND has played in these negotia-
tlons does not appear. 1t was
stated earlier that The purpose Of
his visit to Switzerland was To ar
range a meeting with Entente repre-
sentatives. II was also said that he

''Buy Until 1t Hurts the Germans. ="

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir. The
fourth Liberty Loan drive can be helped
considerably by the employment OF slo-
gans with the proper punch TO appeal
to the public and make 1t loose its purse
strings for the support Of Uncle Sam
and his allies. During the last Red
Cross drive one slogan made a par
ticularly strong appeal to the public.
The slogan was Give Until II Hurts"
Using that as a basis, may 1 suggest
that a good slogan for the present drive
would be "Glve Until II Hurts the Ger

Uncle Joe, a Song and n Mystery.

ShNO SVeS sung anu mystery.
The House being in committee Of
the whole on the state of the Union,
1t was BETTING that earnest thought
should be expressed, occasion arising,
rs TO a national recreation popular in
many States Of the Union. Proper,
Indeed official, occasion arose when
the clerk read Paragraph 8, Title NJ,
playing cards: Upon every pack OF
playing cards containing not more
than fifty-two cards, tax Of eight
cents pack"
Uncle JOE CANNON at once obtained
recognition. He wanted information.
AS one who has with a statesman's
mind considered the state Of the Union
in all Its moods, who has grown in
wisdom with years because he recog-
nizes the Importance of pastimes
which strengthen and refresh the
Union and aid in clinching It's indis-
solubllity, he said, II would like to
ask the gentleman what the commit
tee means by playing cards"
Mr.. KITCHIN. being the gentleman
appealed to, not knowing, as usual, at
once passed the buck, as the saying
is, to Mr.. LoNGwoRTH, "who was on
the subcommittee which dealt with
that particular part Of the bill"
Mr.. CANNON explained to Mr.. LONG
WORTH that when he was a child he
played with cards a game called Au-
thors. Were they the cards favored
with the 8 cents fax?
For some reason not obvious 10 the
non-legislative mind, Mr.. LoNGwoRTn
feigned innocence, or he may have
been inattentive. He did not respond.
Had Senator UNDERWOOD CHANGED to
be in the House at that moment and
fixed with a calm gaze of speculation
the innocent seeming eyes of Mr..
LoNawoRrH 1t might have suggested
to the distinguished Ohloan to ante,
or, as some are said to prefer to call
the performance, to chip in.
However, Mr.. GARNER of Texas
filled in the pause with brief state
ment which seems to us to have been
non sequitur, but we claim no ex-
port knowledge, This is fifty
two deck" the Texan said.
Thereupon the chairman of the COM
mittee added. mot to exceed fifty
four" and continued, II do not think
the gentleman from Texas ought to
try to impose upon the gentleman
from Illinois" The gentleman from
Illinois," Uncle JOE no less, demurely
asked, "Fifty-two-does that mean
one or two jokers;"
One" responded the Texan. and in
further response to Uncle JoE's In
quiry If there were more than one
joker in a pack, said, THAT depends
upon how you play the deuces."
This does not seem to refer to the
