DRAFT EVASION.

General Crowder makes plain the fact that
means are being prepared to meet attempts at
Sdraft evasion; from the tone of the generals
announcement it may he believed that there
fhas been more Of this evasion than he finds to
his liking On the whole. however, there has
been so little Of it obtruding in the smooth
working of this great enterprise carried for
ward by civilian cooperation that there is
cause for hearty qualification. Contributing to
this has been the general feeling that the draft
has been absolutely fair in motive and method
the evasions have been individual or small
group derelictions, not affecting the wide public.
Another source Of help to the management of
fhe draft has been the rapid mobilization of
continent in the public Of lending aid to its
Workings. General Crowder says he has an ally
JIM the womanhood Of the nation and he could
have no better. Pride in the fine army we have
in France and will that it shall be increased by
divisions just fine are inspirations to our
people to insist that the draft be impartial and
that those called by it answer with prompt truth
and readiness to serve

Officials from the city of Quincy
were in Keokuk recently to investi-
gate the power situation with view
of operating the street cars of that
city, a report having been circulated
that the dam was not producing suffi-
cient power to operate Quincy street
cars and serve it's other patrons at
the same time. The Quincy officials
returned to their home convinced
that there was plenty of power being
developed here and the Journal in
Saturdays issue contained the follow
ing report:
Adequate surplus power to furnish
juice for the Quincy Railway com
pany system here is in readiness at
the Keokuk dam, according to word
brought to Quincy today by Mayor j.
A. Thompson and Aldermen Sam
Hyatt James McNutt and John Myers
who investigated the project Friday.
That there is sufficient power avail
able at the dam at the present time
to furnish complete and desira bic
power for the operation of the cars

Mayor Thompson and his staff of in

AN UNFORTUNATE EXPERIMENT

New York Evening Sun: The de-
feat of Miss Jeanette Rankin in the
senatorial primaries indicates that,
/ having tried it. Montana objects to
rather historical feminine represent
tation In congress. 1t would not be
fair to infer that this is positive
setback to the intrusion of women
Legislators. Some other, more grown
up type of woman, might have been
a. satisfactor representative.
The experiment was unfortunate In
many respects. 1t may, perhaps, be
held to show that women who have
no real, valid expression OF life, no
practical contact with things as they
are, however brilliant minded and
equipped with theory they may be,
are not satisfactory representatives
of the real womanhood of the country.
For it is plain that it was largely
the votes of women themselves that
defeated Miss Rankin The patriotic
women of Butte combined agalnSf
/ her 1t is great mistake to sup
pose for moment that the women
| of America are pacifists or coWardly.
The exact contrary is true. MISS
Rankin's vote against the declaration
of war, and against conscr1puon, with
/ her concomitant weeping, settled the
business for her with the mass OF
women, most of whom are wives and
mothers, and valiantly belligerent.
( The women of America are not
going to allow the vote which has
been given them to be wasted. When
the time comes, and experience is
gained, they may choose women to
speak for them, but it will be women
Of a different type from this.

sETTLE TT NOW.

The question of ownership after the war
should be settled before final action py Tue
senate on the water power bill, giving the presl-
dent authority to take over and develop wafer
power plants This bill was drawn by Chalr-
man Baruch, of the war Industries board, ana
both he and Secretary Baker, OF the war depart
ment, urged Immediate enactment. Inc mouse
needed their urge and passed the measure.
Power is needed to keep war producuon a.
hi oh level, but private concerns seem 10 leei
chat they would not be justified In spending
large sums on developments which might prove
TO be far in excess of industrial demands 10
peace time. That attitude is reasonable, ana II
points to the need of government aid In the
present emergency.
But the bill should be changed IN the interest
Of clearness Not only does it fix no time Tor the
return of properties taken over, but apparently
the whole question of return would be left nn-
settled if the bill became law in It's present
form. Mr. Baker admitted as much when ne
said in answer to question put by member
of the house committee on interstate commerce
that the measure might be construed as giving
the government the right to permanent owner
ship In his opinion, the matter should be LETT
to the discretion of the president, but there IS
no occasion for grant of power to be exercised
after the war crisis has passed. 1t power plants
are taken over, government control should De
limited to the war period-and now is the time
to settle the matter.

SAFETY FOR LIBERTY BONDS.

Chicago Daily News: A number of
Chicago banks, in the downtown dis
trict and others in outlying sections,
have been giving free and safe
storage of Liberty bonds to those
of their regular customers who have
no suitable place in which to keep
those securities. The adFisability of
extending this benefit to the public
at large has been under discussion
for some time among the local banks.
and now a few of them have made
formal announ cement of their inten-
ton to accept Liberty bonds for
safe-keeping from any holder with
out charge or restriction of any sort.
The action is enlightened and pa
triotic II is made particularly timely
by reason of the fact that prepare
tons are under way for another
nationwide. campaign for the sale of
fourth issue Of Liberty bonds.
Hundreds of thousands of new and
small investors have come into the
field since the United States govern
ment began 10 make appeals to the
patriotism and the self-interest of
the people in placing its great war
loans. Many of the purchasers of
coupon bonds in small denominations
are so unfamiliar with securities that
they even have failed to collect their
interest when it was due. Not a few
