HALF A DEMOCRACY

Every person in the country who has
been against the granting of suffrage
to women should read the speech OF
President Wilson to the Senate of the
United States. urging it 10 vote for
The amendment granting suffrage as a
war measure. No better summing UP
of the principles which underlie the
movement for woman's suffrage has
been made,
Every person who is for woman's
suffrage should read the speech for
the same reason. II supports and JUS
titles faith.
There are two paragraphs of this
speech which perhaps more than the
rest deserve study and meditation.
They are these:
II do not speak my conjecture. II is
not alone the voice of statesmen and
of newspapers that reach me. and the
voices of foolish and Incorporate agi-
tators do not reach me at all. Through
many, many channels | have been
made aware what the plain, strug-
CLING, workaday folk are thinking upon
whom tile chief terror and suffering of
this tragic war falls. They are looking
TO the great, powerful. famous democ-
racy of the west to lead them to the
new day for which they have so long
waited; and they think, in their logi
cal simplicity, that democracy means
that women shall play their part in
affairs alongside men and upon an
equal footing with them.
IF we reject measures like this, in
ignorant defiance of what a new age
has brought forth, of what they have
seen but we have not, they will cease
to believe in us; they will cease to fol-
low or to trust us"
The question is this: Are we to lose
the leadership we have won painfully
through a long time by our ability. by
our idealism. by our generosiss. by our
willingness to support our beliefs with
our lives and with all that is ours,
simply because in this new age of
growth we are willing to remain and
act as half democracy? There is
only one answer.

TWO HEROES

Where so many generals are win
ming glory, il may seem an invedious
distinction to pick out any for signal
honors. Two men, however, by COM
mon consent out above others, save
Foch himself, in the recent achieve
ments of allied arms. They are. of
course, Gen. Allenby and Gen. d'Es-
percy.
Allenbys defeat of the Turks in Pal
estine is set down as the cleanest job
anybody has yet accomplished in this
war. He has succeeded in absolutely
destroying all the Turkish armies in
that war theatre
Franchet d'Esperey's victory over
the Bulgarians is if possible still more
brilliant, because of the amazingly
short time in which it was accomp-
lished and the vast results immediate
" following IL When he started his
drive, Bulgaria was still regarded by
mahy critics as impregnable. She had
won all her war detectives. and held
them firmly for more than three years.
Campaign after campaign had brought
the Allies scarcely any appreciate
gains. Yet in twelve days from the
start of his offensive. this hitherto OBJ
scure French general had wiped out
the bulgarian and Austrian armies on
a wide front. opened an unobstructed
passage into Bulgaria and compelled
that country to lay down its arms and
submit Internationally to the terms
of the Allies.
IT should be remembered that both
Allenby and d'Esperey won these
triumphs with forces little if any SUI
perior numerically to their enemies.

CLOSING THE MOVIES

The action of the city Health OH
Ger in closing the Moving Picture
Theatres was surely wise and timely
one.
1t is generally admitted that public
places or gatherings is the greatest
medium for the spreading Of diseases
and causing an epidemic.
1t may be considered a great sacri-
fee on the part of those who usually
attend these places of amusement, and
find much rest, recreation and enjoy
ment therein. All such however, will
no doubt gladly acquiesce in the clos
ing order at this time in order to pre-
vent. If possible, the spread OF the
dreadful "fu", which has brought be-
reavement to so many homes of our
city recently.

MIR. TALBOTT.

The best tribute to the champion
guide and friend of Baltimore county
who died yesterday is that to which
we referred to a few days ago-the
unchanged affection of his thousands
of friends, 1t is a notable fact that
after forty years of hard fighting in
the political arena Mr.. Talbot dies
without an enemy. The Second dis
trict Congressman was political
leader of the old school. With DR..
George Wells, who passed away last
week, he was the last remaining poll
tician of his type in Maryland. He
had some of the defects of that type,
but, as all of his contemporaries had
not, he had all of the virtues. He was
loyal. responsible. and the instinct of
friendliness never left him. In the
National Congress he gained increas-
ed influence with each term he served
there. His greatest public service
was his long-maintained and consist
ent effort in behalf of the upbuilding of
the American Navy. The value of that
service has been demonstrated in the
great war. Since the war began he
had been unfailing in the support of
all measures that were directed to a
vigorous and successful prosecution
of it.
He will be missed at Washington.
He will be greatly missed in Mary
land politics. But most of all he will
be missed by his neighbors in Balti-
more county, whose devotion, TO him
was personal. sincere. lasting. having
little to do with the fact that he might
have political favors to bestow, but
responding spontaneously to the hui
mainly that was in the man.
This is his best monument Balti-
more Sunday Sun.
