STATEMENT ISSUED.

Suffrage owes its victory in the
house to neither of the great political
parties-but to friends Of the move
ment in all parties leading suffra-
gists declared today.
To offset efforts already under way
both by the Democrats and Republi-
cans to claim full credit for the house
vote favoring adoption of a constitu-
tional amendment giving women the
franchise, the national woman's suf-
frage association issued statement
today.
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait, presi-
dent of the association. emphasized
that women are left free to make
their party alignments and to carry the
question to their state legislatures on
the same bipartisan basis as has
marked the work of the organization.
Yesterdays vote" she said, LEAVES
the woman beholden to neither of the
dominant parties. On the democratic
side there was the action of the presi :
dent, the speaker and four members
of the cabinet in helping US at the
crucial hour.
"Paralleling it on the Republican side
there was the tremendous help given
us by a powerful Republican leader
topped by the dramatic and effective
entrance of Mr.. Mann to cast the great
weight OF his influence into the Repub-
lican scale just as the vote was to be
taken"
Mann came from hospital at Bal
timore, where he had been under treat
ment for some time, cast his vote and
returned Immediately to the hospital
His action made tremendous impress
sion on the women and was described
as the deciding factor on the floor OF
the house by Miss Mary Garrett Hay,
chairman of the woman suffrage party
OF New York City.

WITHOUT A SOUL

When Mrs. Shelley's student constructed a human being out
of odds and ends, the monster had muscular strength, animal
passion and active life, but no breath of divinity"~no soul
1t longed for animal love and animal sympathy, but was
Stunned by all. 1t was most powerful for evil, and being fully
conscious of its own defects and deformites, sought persstently
to infict %retribution on its creator, and finally murdered his
friend, brother and bride. After remaining in hiding beyond
Ultima Thule it comes forth and kills the student, Frankensten,
as he was returning home from an expedition, This monster
was an exact prototype of the kasers army, 1t had everything
that describes the monster of fiction. and its name was Prussian
Militarism. The original monster was without a name, and has
been called by the name of its creator, Frankenstein. The Prus-
sian monster has done everything in the way of evil that lay
in its great power. 1t had no soul-no breath OF divinty-and
it was finally conquered and subducd. The indications are that
it will undergo a metamorphosis, and in its new manifestation
as Bolshevikism or revolution it will destroy its creator and all
his tribe.
The truth, when it is told, may be stranger and more terri,
bic than fiction, and it would only be a just %retribution. The
German monster had efficiency, power, malevoence and cunning,
and wreaked vengeance on everyone that came within its reach,
1t failed for the want Of a soul, and unless it is the exccutioncr
of its creator and his dear ones, the Prussan monster will
likely carry out the analogue and do away with the kaiser and
his sons. No one will greve. In contemplating the enormous
crimes of this monster civilization stands aghast. Atilla was
called the scourge Of God. but AUlla did observe the rules OF
warfare as they were known in his age. When the Prussian
monster destroys its creator the world will be avenged, and can
rejoice as heartily as it did over the end of the war.

WATCH KENYON

While the Democrats are bemoaning the loss of the senate,
and the Republicans are rejoicing over the return of the pork
barrel, with all of its SuggeStiVenCsS, to their side OF the cham
Der, the American people are still able to find something for
which to be thankful in the turn of the wheel OF political fortune
The interesting and gratifying feature, even to those who
depore the loss Of the senate to the Democrats, is that the
old-line Republicans are not going to be permitted to exercise
the full and unrestraned sway that they have contemplated
during the lean years of Democratic rule.
The principal obstacles in the way Of a relentless rule of
"standpatism" are William S. KENYON, of Iowa; William F.
Borah, Of Idaho; Miles Poindexter, of Washington, and other
progressves from the West, who are going to insist upon a rule
of common sense, even by Republicans, and a rule Of decency,
even II they must go to the extreme OF kicking Boise PenrOse
bodily out of committee aSsignments.
1t is regretted that Hiram Johnson, OF California, cannot
be named among those demanding a new order and a new deal
from the Republicans. Johnson has an enyiabe record. He
made a good governor, and his personal popularity landed him
in the senate. He is a great believer in Col. Roosevelt. Left
to his own devices he would line up with the progressive element
in the senate, and he is admirably suited to lead such an organi-
cation of clean-minded honest and enthusiastic statesmen.
But, unfortunately, Col. Roosevelt finds himself allied with
the element that he has fought and been defeated by. Penrose,
Lodge, Smoot and Watson seem to have taken him into their
camp-a camp that Johnson would never be congenial with, but
which he gives indication of joining for no reason other than the
desire to follow in the footsteps Of his idol.
When Col. Roosevelt led his Bull Moose party to Arma-
geddon or Gethsemane, or wherever it was he led it to, he was
actuated by vindictiveness and to satisfy the craving for political
vengeance. 1t is unfortunate for the colonel that in the hour of
triumph for progressive ideas he is found in the camp of the
reactionaries instead Of with the small but consequential band
that is going to have a hand in shaping the policies of legislation
for the next two years, to an extent far beyond the extent
implicitly their limited numbers.
In all probability the senate under Republican domination
will develop the Republican candidate for the presidency, 1t will
be the progressive who stands between the people and the cor
poration interests represented by Penrose, Lodge, Smoot, Knox
and others whose every thought and act is opposed to the wei
fare of the people. To our mind Kenyon is admirably suited
for this task, for the people will have no more of Penroseism.
The people will do we'll to watch Kenyon for the next year
or two. They may see a president i'll the making The country
might do worse than elect him, but the Republican party could
do no better than to nominate him.

All crime should be noted and the perpetrators of it AIDE
quately punished. In this respect the German high staff should
be dealt with. They are guilty Of crimes that should not go
unpublished. Official orders captured on prisoners directed the
German soldiers to burn all property on their retreat, poison
wells and blow up coal and iron mines.
This is in violation Of the rules of war, and contrary to
civilized custom,
The soldiers were not to blame, because they were threat
cned with dire disaster if they failed to carry out orders. The
high command can be located and reached, and these Savagcs,
from Hindenburg down, should be lined up against a wall and
made an objective for a firing squad.
Such conduct should meet with condign punishment. 1t
