ENGLISH WOMEN AT POLLS.

A wonderful tribute to women is
paid In an Associated Press dispatch
reviewing the British elections which
says Reports go so far as to con-
tend that the new House of Commons
has been mainly chosen by WON en-"
If the men OF England resemble their
brothers in America they do not ap-
preciato the privilege of tho ballot rs
they should. But this cannot DO said
Of the women, who crowded to the
polls ana stood patiently In long
queues for their turn to vote. Even
the aged and infirn1 were Nberally
represented and in some districts tho
women outnumbered the men In voe-
ing strength.
This Is apparently the winter Of
discomfort for the men of England,
many of whom wall that the votes Of
their wives nullihed their own votes,
each selecting opposite candidates for
the favor Of their ballots. Herein Is
furnished an argument against the
contention that wives would simply
vote as their husbands vote and share
their husbands views in politics.
There yet may be truth in the
statemen that ''the hand that rocks
the cradle rules the world" We may
never fear tyranny in petticoats.

\ Contrast With a Lesson.
(New York Times.)

Whoever is in danger of having his
Or her-~sympa thies entrapped by
Contem plation of Germanys hard
fate can regain sanity by reading the
admirable and more than admirable,
dispatch in which Mr.. James con-
trasted yesterday conditions as he
found them in Treves and as he left
them in scissors only a few days ago.
The one city has not been touched by
the hand Of war, the other is little
more than scattered piles of stone aid
brick. Treves is populous, and, for all
that anybody in it can see, its inhab-
itants are prosperous; SCISSORS is
silent and empty, wrecked probably
beyond repair -'
As Mr.. James wrote, the German
soldier returns to a home--a blouse
with a roof--and in it are his wife
and children; the French or Belgian
soldier in innumerabla instances can
his family is scattered or dead, and
not infrequentIy the members of il
who are dead are more fortunate than
the others 1t is no wonder that tho
Germans love the phrase, forget
and forgive.' 1t is no wonder, either,
that their foreign agents and auxil-
iaries are repeating it with JUNCTION
and doing their best to confuse Jus
tice with revenge.
The more Of such confusion THAI
can be created, the less of RESPONSE
bility for their murders and theil
thofts will the Germans have to bear,
and also the less of obligation will
there be to do what the pacihsticallN
inclined hato most. and that is to do
anything about anything when the
doing is troublesome, expensive or
dangerous.

was presented by talent chosen from

amusement and got big h~nd from

A male chorus sang several old

from the factory, refreshments were
served and dancing was enjoyed until

by Lynch's orchestra.

In constructing the steamship

Hohenzollern should not feel down

ship ahoat. That it was used by an
enemy nation as part Of its machin-
cry of war is only a small matter.
And as Hohenzollern hated war he

COOPERATION AMONG
FARMERS is URGED
Nebraska Governor reject Also Adyo-
Gates Graduated Tax On Land
and Strict Lease Laws.

Annapolis, Dec. 1S.-Speaking be-
fore the conference of governors here
today Governor elect Samuel r. Nc
Kelvie of Nebraska, urged farmers TO
form cooperative organizations for
purchasing and marketing and for
the solicitation of loans at low inter
est rates.
Cooperation among farmers. ne
said, is the safest solution of most OF
the rural economic ills.
Mr. McKeIvie advocated a gradu-
ated tax on land and strict land lease
laws providing for proper cultivation
and rotation of crops and shelter for
livestock and grain as the best means
of dealing with the absentee landlord
situation.
Governor ". l. Harding of Iowa
also urged cooperation for market
ing. The GOOD produce gambler

Crime and Penalty.
(Chicago Tribune

Many persons of speculative turn
Of mind have found some degree Of
employment in debating the form Of
pnnishm ent suitable to the former
kaiser obviously such yerdicts
range in harshness from the purely
moral penalties involving the lash
of conscience to the extremes of
physical torture. And it begins to
look as if Wilhelm may soon face
some sort of q. tribunal.
What should the penalty be? It
is customary among some contro-
yersialists on the social relation to
assert that the minor crook is heav-
ilv punished for some slight offense
while the distinguished malefactor
is briefly admonished for some ire
mendous felony. If this comes true
IN the case of Wilhelm he may es-
cape with a sugary Gliding.
Of course this could not be actual
" so, but the effect might not be
considered far different 49, should
be exled to some comfortable island,
there to ponder over his misadven-
cures.
II might at least be thrusting aside
some we'll worn traditions to treat
A royal miscreant with the same pro-
cess that is provided for the lesser
rogue IT is possible that the demo-
cratic world would take more COM
fort out of knowing that Wilhelm
Was being tried in a common court
than in the knowledge that he was
being accorded q gilt edged hearing
before special sessions. And there is
proba bilty that this well known
English fashion of administering
Justice will be applied.
Trial before ordinary court
would fetch the whole line of autoc-
racv out of the false aura of divine
right Hanging in jail yard would
have q very salutary effect upon
others who dream of world empires.
It certainly would be setting a demo-
cratic organization to work Oh IN
situations which heretofore have re-
ceived special consideration.

THE VICTORY OF GALLIPOLI.

Gallipoli was not in vain.
Lieutenant General Birdwood, who
commanded the Australian and New
Zealand troops in this campaign
against the Turks, points out that
while the venture was failure as far
as territorial gain figured, it had the
effect of depicting the flower of the
Sultan's army. So determined were
the Anzacs that they would turn the
slaughter house Of the Mediterra
mean into a Temple of Victory, SO
boldly did they charge up the hills
and into the jaws of death, that the
Turkish military leaders found it
necessary to expend a larger number
of troops in defensive tactics than
otherwise would have been required.
GalHpoli was not gained, CONSTANT
nople was not taken, but the campaign
opened the veins of the unspeakable
Turk and his life blood slowly ebbed
away
Let no man count Gallipo1i as a de-
feat for Allied arms. The brave Aus
tralians and New Zealanders who
toiled there, who fought there and
who fell there gladly paid the price
not knowing that in his hour OF VIC
tory the enemy was tasting the bitter
CUP of defeat. The struggle that was
lost was won.

(BradStreet'S)
Vigorous opposition was voiced in

munication such railroads, tele-
phones and telegraphs In one reso-
luton adopted by an almost Unani-
nous vote, congress was urged speed
lily to enact legislation providing for
the early return Of their owners under
federal charters of the railroads now
being operated by the government
under federal regulations permitting
the elimination of wasteful COMPETE
ton, the pooling of equipment, COM
binatiOns or consultations through
ownership or otherwise in the opera
ton of term mails, and such other prac-
tees as will tend to economies with
out destroying com petition in service
The congress further declared itself
opposed to governm ent own crshiD and
operation of telephones, tolegraphs
and cables. Other resolutions advo-
Gated the modification of the anti
trust laws so as not to restrict whole
some cooperation. recommended the
construction of p great m ercantile ma
rine advised the development of mar
kots for foreign trade through all ap-
propriatc means, including special
training of Young men therefor, and
the cultivation of better relations
with South America. and urged that
upon cancellation, ar orders placed
by any contracting agency of the gov
eminent and accepted in good faith
should be promptly adjusted and sat

Europe a commission representative
of American business to study the re-
construction needs of Europe and TO
he available for assistance to the
American peace delegates in ca sc thew
should need any help in the working
out Of economic problems. It also
adopted unanim ously a resolution de-
Claring that as we have made common
cause with the Allies in the war we
should act with them likewise in seek
ing the solution of the imme diate
rrOblemS OF reCOnStruction that we
should deal gen erously in sharing with
them our resources of raw materials

/ At meeting of prominent Con-
necticut manufacturers and agricul-
t1lrists in Hartford yesterday. deter
mined opposition was expressed to the
Intention of Secretary Lane Of the In
terror 30 employ discharged soldiers
in recfain1ing arid and swamp regions
for the purpose of making these areas
thlable- Tt Ia said that the scheme
did not"meet with favor because Con-
necticut has no axad or swamp hands
to be reclaimed. That may have been
the reason, but there is a more im-
portant reason to be taken into con-
sideration--ft is possible the dough-
boys will not want to became farmers
and their opinions should be sought
before any plan 30 coloniss them in
the west and southwest rs outlined.
While Connecticut has farms under
cultivation. it Is essentially a manu-
featuring state. The presence of SO
many farmers in the General Assem-
bly, lends color to the belief that we
from the soil but that situation is due
to our peculiar laws of representation
which give the farmers control over
the commonwealth.
1t is not believed that the Connect
icut soldiers are eager. on being de-
modified to rush to an undeveIoped
tract of land and make lilies bloom
where wild roots OR tree stumps OF
cactus doomed before. The majority
OF the soldiers are "citthed'. In the
past they have earned wages in the
factories where many of them became
skilled mechanics or had the oppor-
tunity TO do so. AS one writer on the
question has pointed out, the soldier
has had his fill of earth. He has
slept on it. burrowed in 1t and eaten
1t ever since he went to Europe and
probably his one ambition La to re-
turn to a happier land where street
cars are at hand and where electric
lights illuminate the ground on which
he treads.
Emigration OF the youth of the
country to sections far removed would
work q hardship on Connecticut man
ufacturers by creating a shortage of
labor. This would result in the de-
cline OF the state as an Industrial
community. Economists say the de-
unand for hands In the factories will
he haavVy Nm tho newt Fevv 7roars To
the men are to be sent thousands of
miles away how will the factories be
operated? 1t is a recognized fact
that Wa must have agriculturtsts and
that the field Of agriculture opens an
avenue of bright hopes to the man
who is willing to isolate himself from
his netghbors and abandon the con-
veniences of the city but the big fac
tor in the strength of Eastern United
States is its manufactures and the
factories need men.
Capital Is also essential if g. man
is to succeed as a farmer An axe
and hoe will not suffice. He must
have modern machinery and farm i'm
plements If he is to compete in the
thus equipped. Uncle Sam pays his
soldiers the highest wages in the
world but these wages do not permit
the saving of sufficient capital to
start him in agriculture.
