THE BABY BUGGY VOTE

There was a recent election In a
large city at which women voted
And there was an organized force
Of women to look after the Baby
buggy voters" Mothers were urged
to come to the polls, and outside
every voting place stood woman
ready to look after the baby busgies
and toddlers while the mother went
within to do her duty as q citizen.
How long ago It seems that we
were told 1t wasn't right for women
to vote because IL was against ma
ture for any woman to neglect her
home and family. In some parts OF
this enlightened land relies OF the
dark ages are still urging the same
argument.
OF course It's against nature, 100,
for woman to wheel her baby out
to the grocery or meat market. and
dangerous to the coming generation
for her to leave the buggy withou,
while she enters and remains. ne
glecting her duty long enough to buy
few Hooverian edibles.
Somehow. all these things &c,
adjusted when we are ready for
them. The only real difference be-
tween leaving the baby outside to
vote and leaving him outside while
buying a pot roast is that in the for
mer case women have already be n
organized to cooperate with eac
other SO that the baby is protected,
and in the latter they haven't got
that far yet.

JAIL PATRIOTISM

An odd situation is reported in the
county jail at Cleveland. Ohio. Be-
sides its ordinary prisoners the jail
contains more than 100 enemy aliens
and disloyal citizens OF alien birth.
The Germans for a while had things
pretty much their own way. They
used to sing Deutschland ueber
Allies" and die wacht am Rhein"
and the Hymn OF Hate" and con-
duct themselves generally very much
as II that Jail was little corner Of
the Fatherland. But the american
prisoners" have stopped all that.
They have ostracized the war pris-
oners, and refuse to let them so
much as hum a German song when
the lights are turned down and the
inmates are locked In their cells for
the night.
There Is no music heard in that
jail now that isn't 100 per cent pa
triotic. The jailer says that even
ragtime has disappeared, in favor Of
"America" and "The Star Spangled
Banner" and songs OF kindred ma
ture. The rank and file OF prisoners
follow the war news closely. They
are Just as patriotic as good citi-
sens outside, says the jailer. and
nearly every one Of them would vol
unteer for the army II ne had a
chance.
The oddness OF the situation con-
sists chiefly in the peculiar contrast
Of moral standards. Among those
American" prisoners are men
charged with burglary. murder, and
many other grave crimes. Most OF
the alien prisoners do not consider
that they have committed any crime
whatever For nearly all OF them II
Is their first experience OF Jail life.
Yet the murderers and burglars re-
gard the enemy aliens as so far be-
meath them that association with
them is communicating and intoler.
able. And the prisoners charged
with milder offenses agree with
them.
Is naturalized citizen who proves
disloyal to his chosen country really
worse than a murderer? Is an alien
resident who remains in this country
after war is declared, and abuses the
country's hospitality by hostile plot.
ting really worse than a burglar?
There's a fine subject for argument
In q way, the patriotic jallbirds
may be right about It. War is the
supreme test OF a nations virtues
