Suffrage Still in Doubt.

The suffrage amendment passed
the House, although by a lower ma
jority than had been expected, and
now the question is up to the Senate.
Ordinarily the Senate could be expect
ed to return an unfavorable vote.
Most Of it's members are %ultra-con-
sentative. But the suffrage advocates
will marshall all their forces and the
victory in the House, the recent res
ult of the New York election, and
President Wilson's appeal may COM
bine to carry the amendment by a
slight margin in the upper house.
Washington bankers have always
been credited with exercising a potent
influence over administrations, not
merely in local matters of real estate
and deposit profits, but in national
fiscal policy. Much of this influence
has been credited to the chummy
habit of making loans to members of
Congress on their personal notes,
when the prospect of payment is not
particularly good. Half a dozen
novels of Washington political in
trigue have mentioned the typical
banker, who smiled 50 coolly at his
official callers in the quiet room
where these loans are made.
There is a story that in the best
advertised bank in the national CAPT.
tol there is still held for collection a
personal note signed by Daniel Web
ster and endorsed by Henry Clay.
They split the $1,000 that the slip of
paper brought them. They we're in
Congress for many years a~fterward,
but the bank seems to have been sat
isfied to keep the note unpaid.
Much Talk About Peace.
Under the surface, Washington is
seething with rumors of peace nego-
tiations revived by President Wilson's
last message. Most Of these rumors
are based On hearsay gossip, and are
spread by persons hopeful of getting
a more reliable peace report in re-
turn. But the substance of the rumors
seems to be that the taking over of
the railroads and of the electric power
at Niagara by the Government, and
the threat Of naturalization of other
industries-possibly coal and steel
has created a great desire on the
part of big and small investors and
salaried employees of business houses
to assure themselves that these
threatened changes will not be re-
quired. Their first way of escape is
apparently, by the ending of the war
At once the negotiations between the
Russians and the Central Powers take
on new Importance.
Western members Of Congress are
more interested in getting a demo
cratic peace than, a. a rule, are the
men from east of the Lakes. They
were slow to call for war and they
will be quick to endorse peace ne,
gotiations when they are sur tina
the negotiations have a foundation il
real democracy for the worlds future
But they are not at present shown,
quite the fear at the prospect of higl
taxes and the taking over Of indus
tries into public hands, that is show,
in the Atlantic region.

WHAT CAN 1 DO TO HELP WIN THE WAR.
A Personal Word to the Readers Of the Courant:

A Personal Word to the Readers Of the Courant:
The United States will rush soldiers to France
as fast as possible, it is announced in the latest
news dispatches. North Dakota boys are already
there. It is believed that . million American sol
diers will be in France by spring. The task Of get
ting enough food to France and England is even
now taxing the available shipping facilities to the
utmost. Every nook and Granny Of every ship is
filed to capacity. Every American soldier added in
France means one more mouth to feed and adds
to these difficulties.
You can win the war by using corn, oats, rye
and barley in place of wheat. Wheat and flour can
be packed away into smaller shipping space than
almost any other food of equal food value. Use
corn and save wheat for,the soldiers. Try this
recipe. which is recommended BY the Food Admin
~istration:
Corn Dodger-2 cups corn meal, 2 teaspoons
fat,1 teaspoon salt, ! 81 cups boiling water:
Pour the boiling water Over the other materials.
Beat well. When COO, form into thin cakes and
bake 80 minutes ii hot oven: Makes III biscuits.
These crisp little biscuits are good with butter or
gTavy. Eat them with your .neat and vegetables
