Suffrage Marches On

It is still no easy road of which women
win the franchise through state action,
but the advance is sure, if slow. Michi-
gan fell into line according to the late
returns, thereby establishing an impor-
tant and significant gain in much dis
puted territory. Twice her voters de-
feated suffrage at the polls. Yet such
was the underlying drift in its favor that
the Legislature last year granted women
Presidential suffrage; and this years
popular acceptance of general suffrage
for women upholds the judgment of the
legislators.
Here in New York the significant fact
was the calm acceptanve Of suffrage by
women generally, without confusion,
without sex cleavage, without shock and
anybody. Women voted as matter OF
course. The great revolution that was
to overturn civilization arrived and
everybody took it with calmness and a
general chorus of approval.
After such demonstration of the de-
mand for suffrage and it's arrival among
the established policies of progressive
America, there can be little doubt Of
the Senate's course. One more vote has
already been won to suffrage. The other
must surely fall soon. To think other
wise would be to deny to the Senate not
only an open mind but even open eyes.

as an administration" enterprise. There
has been pathetically misguided at
tempt to convert patriotism into Dem
ocratic asset.
The American people resent the capi-
talizaton of great national emotions and
impulses for factional advantage. Mr..
Wilson's electioneerng appeal struck
perhaps the shabbiest note that has yet
been struck in this war. Its proscriptive
animus was an affront to the American
spirit Of fair play and tolerant common
sense.
The voters have answered that appeal
as it deserved to be answered. They have
divided according to their natural incli-
nations, altogether regardless of the
Presidents argument that his prestige
would be shattered and his leadership
impaired by the election of an opposition
Congress In most of the states in which
he interfered with epistolary and other
Endorsements of candidates for the Sen
The electors voted their own minds.
They restored the Republican party to
power in Congress because that party
constitutes the normal majority in the
country. 1t has been unwarrantably and
jealously excluded from proper partici
patton in the conduct of the war. Those
who have been responsible for that exclu-
sion have been appropriately chastened.
We are all patriots first. But we re-
fuse to indorse the Presidential vagary
that patriotism is the exclusive appanage
of the Democratic party.
Tuesdays election puts the nation into
the war in a new and broader sense.
Whatever conclusions as to his own Gun
embarrassed spokesmanship" the Presi-
dent may still draw from the result are
his own affair. The result speaks for
itself. 1t is the deliberate judgment Of
the American people, and as such there
is no need to fear that it will not be in
telligently interpreted in every capital
"on the other side of the water"

The Relief for the Gold Miners

Few things seem more fantastic than
the wall of the gold miners for govern
ment relief. Following a very marked
change in the processes of gold extrac
tion gold mining became an exceedingly
profitable industry. These changes in
volved general introduction of steam or
pneumatic drilling, the great cheapening
of explosives and the development of the
cyanide and similar processes of leach
ing the ores. The result was more than
tripling of the worlds production. 1t
rose from an average of less than a hun
dred and fifty millions year to between
tour and five hundred millions The more
emotional of economists stood aghast be-
fore this ''gold deluge."
But gold is more than commodity;
it is the almost universal standard of
value. And those who understood clearly
that an increase of the purchasing me-
dium more rapid than the increase in the
production of goods and services meant
an inevitable rise in prices saw with
great clearness that the day must come
any such large profits and that the out
put would then decline This would have
come even without the war. The rise in
prices from the famous bryan days."
which happen to be bedrock, was some
thing like so per cent up to the outbreak
of the war. 1t has been from so to 100
per cent SINCE the war. The result was,
Of course, simply strangulation for gold
mining. The Rand production, for ex-
ample, has been kept up only with gov
ernment support.
During the war the whole world has
been practically on paper basis" But,
unless times of great stress arise, the
present gold reserves are probably amply
sufficient for the solvent nations. And
no end of gold supply could save the in
solvent ones. There could be few more
mistaken ideas than that heavy gold pro-
duction was any factor in winning the
war or that it could be of any great eco
nomic value after the war.

BACK HOME STUFF
"Sug" Bowles

The Bijou Pool Room was upstairs
over Link Meals drug store back home
The cushions were dead and the cues
warped. The charge was two and
half cents cue.
Outside Of the two pool tables there
were a little glass case for chewing
tobacco and cigarettes: big oil lamp,
two long benches and chair for Grand
pa LaClerq, who always loafed there.
On one wall was poster of Al Fields
minstrel troupe, and on another the
escape of the hero in Human Hearts"
The Roush brothers-Joe and Ed
owned the place. Joe Roush was the
first man in town to whittle steamboat
and put it inside a glass bottle. Ed was
more of business man, but had spells.
"Sug" Bowles was the champion pool
shot of the town. He clerked at the
Merchants Hotel in the winter and was
second mate on the packet Neva in the
summer. He had a story about himself
in "The Cincinnati Enquirer" during
the '88 flood, when he dove under the
coal float and brought up Colonel Bud
Miller's body.
"Sug'' was we'll liked by the older men
from Lawyers Row, who came over in
the afternoon to watch him and Editor
Sibley play bottle pool. Some of the
politicians got him job as superinten-
dent of the Children's Home. 1t paid
$3.50 year and his board and privilege
of farming. 1t looked for while as if
"Sug" was going to amount to some
thing. But he kept coming to town and
playing pool all day and he got put out
of Office.
He still hangs about the poolroom
When strange drummers come up "Sug"
always starts every conversation with
when I was superintendent of the
Children's Home" It is his only
cherished memory. DOM.
Something tells us that Germany is
going to call the Allies armistice terms

The peace ship was one colossal folly
of Henry Ford's. His political venture
must be rated as another. AS a cre-
ator of automobiles by the mile and
boats by the yard, he was an American
hreo of real parts and deserved honor.
AS publicist he has been joke, and his
election to the United States Senate
would have been calamity The Pres
ldents nomination of Mr.. Ford and his
campaign for his election were amazing
episodes. Never did Mr. Wilson's weak
ness in estimating personal qualities and
aptitudes betray him worse.

An Irish Solution at Last!

Some imitator of Caesar divided the
English-speaking people into three parts
those who read George Moore and like
him, those who eXecrate his name, and
those who never heard of him. The
membership in the third class will be
materially reduced, and probably that
of the second relatively augmented il
the suggestion of the author of "Con-
fessions of Young Man" for the solu-
tion of the Irish question is given serious
consideration.
Distinctly disclaiming any desire to
recall to mind an exceedingly trite quo
tation, it still must be remarked that the
whole iconoclastic literary career of Mr..
Moore has given proof of his willingness
to rush in where the more conservative
feared to tread. 1t may be surmised,
therefore, that he would not bring for
ward solution of the veXed Irish ques-
ton unless he had something different
to offer. Briefly, then, and not to sus-
tain the suspense too long, Mr.. Moore
would build causeway from the north
east corner of Ireland across the narrow
channel separating Ireland from Scot
land, build similar causeway from the
southeast corner of the island to the
nearest point in England, thus making
the Irish Sea pond; pump out the
water, fill up the hole, and, 10 Ireland
Is no more. Then, there being no Ire
land there can. per Sc, be no Irish oues-
ton. To those who might quail at the
engineering difficulties involved Mr..
Moore suggests letting the contract to
the Dutch, no doubt having in mind their
historical feat of taking Holland.
Mr.. Moore, who is Irish himself, but,
like good many other Irishmen, lives
elsewhere, has only recently returned
from visit to his native island, and he
tells an interviewer for "The London
Observer that Ireland is a land flowing
with milk, honey and discomfort. Dis
approval of conditions as he found them
there probably accounts for his drastic
plan for making Great Britain all one
island. Failing in obtaining approval of
his own project, Mr.. Moore announces
himself as an ardent supporter of what
is known as the Rolleston programme,
which includes railway communication
with London by means of tunnel, big
transatlantic port for Ireland, improved
educational facilities and fair share of
the profits of the partnership; in other
words, taking Ireland into the union.
Asked II he had discovered what Sim
Fein really meant, Mr.. Moore repled
'lt means the same as Bolsheyism
means--complete freedom to do as you
Ike. They talk of self government

New-York tribune., 1918-11-07
The Squealing Hun

The German governmental mind has
shown in its peace man9uvres neither
courage nor conscience. It squeals like
stuck pig over the Allies air campaign
and bemoans the Allies lack of humanity
in not ceasing to lombard defenceless
cities and towns in response to the Ger
mans sudden attack of humanity in this
respect. And, after squealing, the Ger
man government shows its much battered
tusks again by threatening to resume it's
barbaric ways unless the Allies promptly
behave
The case is a beautiful illustration of
the folly of trying to talk or confer or
share any debate with the present ruling
classes Of Germany. They have no real
perception of their guilt, of the worlds
attitude toward their atrocious war MAX
ing. All they have is bad scare-their
precious crowns and skins and perqui-
sites and prerogatives are in some meas
ure threatened, and it hurts. So they
squeal.
And are the German people any more
repentant or any better reformed? Are
they doing anything more than squeal-
ing, too? Well, if they would overturn
their ruling classes and speak for them
selves we might at least have a chance
to find out. AS Germany is still ruled
to-day lin spite of the Lord knows how
many notes) there is not the slightest
evidence available Of anything more than
general hurts and hunger and Wholesale
in addition to retail, squealing.

Sedan 187Oz918
By Frank H. Simonds
(Copyright 1913, Ncav York Tribune Imc.)

TTHE approach of our American
troops to Sedan is something
more than the recalling of the
bitter memories of forty-eight years
ago, now all but abolished by recent
events On the contrary it may be a
significant and decisive detail in a new
Sedan, ten times greater than that which
extinguished the tinsel empire Of Napo-
leon III and imposed upon France al
most half century of humiliation.
AS it stands to-day, the Germans are
for the first time since the tide turned
on July 18, facing situation which is
critical from the Scheldt to the out
skirts of Metz. In the west the British
armies have broken through the last
permanent line of German defences; the
fourth of their lines stretched from the
sea to Metz. Having broken this line
where it met the Scheldt, the British are
advancing astride Of it toward Bavai
and Maubeuge and nearing their first
battlefield Of the war, Mons, of unhappy
memory.
This British advance is, in reality,
down the valley Of the Sambre toward
Namur. 1t has already turned the line of
the Scheldt, which must be evacuated,
and it is approaching the canal and
river lines, which supply the last re-
naming natural obstacle to Allied ad-
vance until the line of Antwerp Namur
is reached. This means, in fact, that
the whole northern, or right, flank of the
Germans has been dslocated and is "in
the air"
In the south, in the centre of the great
front from the Scheldt to Metz, the
French have taken the offensive and are
pushing forward with great speed, iron
ing out the great bulge into France
which represents the survival of the
older salient extending to St. Gobain.
Here the German retreat has become
almost fight, owing to the threat
coming from the British side.
Finally, in the east, between the Aisne
and the Meuse and astride the Meuse, our
American troops have broken through
the second line of German defence and
are advancing down the Meuse on either
bank, having already eliminated the
Maubeuge- -MezieresMetz lateral rail-
way and thus brought about complete
isolation between the enemy's centre and
right and his left.
No one will venture to prophesy that
the German army is now Immediately to
suffer something like the disaster which
has in turn overtaken the Turk, the
Bulgar and the Austrian upon the bat
tlefeld, the sort of disaster which has
made Sedan forever memorable in mill
tary history. But the unmistakable
fact is that the existing conditions per-
NIT one to say that it is not only not
impossible, but hardly improbable.
After four months of defeat the Ger
man has now to execute long and diff
cult retreat, with both his Aanks in peril
and his centre exposed and requiring to
be extricated from an exceedingly dan
''lation ANY local collapse now
will inevitably bring general ruin. Any

lie Bien-Etre du Blesse
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: May correct one or two errors cor
tanned in a letter from Washington. dssa
November 5, regarding lie Bien-Etre d
Blesse? To quote:
"The Bien-Etre du Blesse was grapplins
with the problems of furnishing supple
mentary food to the French wounded, as
cording to Red Cross reports. Its only sys.
tenn, owing to shortage of funds and lack Of
facilities, was that of sending to the hos.
pitfalls quantities Of dried foods. sardines
and wines"
This is an extraordinary statement, and
your correspondent has confused Le Bien
Etre du Rlesse with another organization
which for nearly year past has been send
ing dried foods and other ediblss suitable
for advanced convalescents to large nrm.
ber of hospitals in France.
We take care only of the severely wound
ed, the fever patients and the tubercular
in the war zone hospitals. Sardines and
dried vegetables would soon finish msu
