men who hold radical ideas, even per- haps going to the extreme limits of Bolshevism, just as there are men so unbalanced, but we are working to endow with the right of self-deter- imitation the vast majority of sane, normal human women who stand for the growth of the Democratic spirit along lines of evolution rather than revolution.
 In these final stages of the struggle for full suffrage the Connecticut Wo- man Suffrage Association wishes to conduct the campaign on the plane of issues only. It deplores the injec- tion of bitterness and personal at tack, and believes it to be possible among right-minded women, each fol- lowing the light as she sees it, to confne the discussion to the merits of the question itself. It is the issue of giving women the vote which Con- necticut is to settle, and not the ques- tion as to whether it likes or dislikes the methods of the proponents or op- ponents of woman suffrage. May we not prove that this, and all the other vital problems which citizens in these difficult days must solve, may be dis cussed in temper of moderation and sanity, and finally settled without bit terness.
 We ourselves propose to hold as long as may be to such spirit and, in proof of it, shall, as an organization, answer no more of the futile charges made against our members by the Anti-suffragis

WALKING DELEGATE
 '. AND THE WAR


 in April last, your Executive Com mittee called attention to the danger to the Nation which was threatened by the Anti-efficiency provision of the Naval Appropriations bill as it had been passed by the House of Repre- sentatives and was pending before the United States Senate. Similar pro- visions had been passed by Congress in other Appropriations Acts during the previous four years. The pay ment of bonuses, of premiums, of ad- ditional compensation above regular wages was forbidden, and no induce ment could be made to increase output by workmen employed under the gov ernment. Disregarding the injury that would be done to our own army at the battle front, this Anti efficiency pro- vision was designed by the walking delegates to hold back the efficient workmefi to the pace of production made by the laggard.
 This disregard for the welfare of our army we denounced as approach ing treason in time of war and as giv- ing aid and comfort to the enemies of the nation.
 The walking delegate now stands revealed to the patriotic men and women of the Nation in his true light.
 A leech upon honest workmen, pro- ducing nothing himself, giving noth- ing, living upon and sometimes en- riched by the levies he makes upon the wage-earners and others who fall un- der his pernicious power, resorting to any extreme measure by which he can exercise and retain his power is a menace to the national safety, drag, upon the activities and the efforts of the Nation and in effect is an ally of the enemy.
 The walking delegate is law unto himself, and he imposes his law upon others. His laws override the laws of the State and of the Nation. The enforcing of his laws rests upon his power; his power rests upon his means of getting money; his means of get ting money rests upon his supposed or actual power. He gets his money by levy and fine; by power to punish and power to withhold or yield favor. A vicious circle depending upon money. He exercises his power as a despot and unhappy is the worker or employer who falls under that power. In order to enforce his demands he organizers, and has resorted to violence and lawlessness, even to the extreme of murder.
 Tens of millions of right-thinking people in our country detest the<walk ing delegates, and it lies easily within the reach of these tens of millions of right thinking people to drive the walking delegates from power.
 There are about five hundred mem bers of Congress and from one to two hundred members in the legislature of each State. The tens of millions of right-thinking people should not rest until Congress and the State leg islatures have done justice, to the workmen. These tens of millions of right-thinking people, acting through their local societies, should adopt res should send delegations to Washington and to the State legisla- lures, and they should write letters, they should work with Congress and State legislators without pause. There should be no let-up until the working men of our country are made secure in their right to work free from outside

Columbia Reports
Record Enrolment:
Men in Majority
Women Lose Lead Gained
When U. S. Entered War;
Has Total of 100; Bar.
nard Registers I'll

For the first time since the United
States entered the war the men under
graduates at Columbia this year out
number the women students, accord
Ing to oficial figures made public last
night at the university. In 1918, the
enrolment at Barnard College was half
again as large as that for Columbia
College, the figures being Respectively
e64 and AIS. This year. however, the
tables were turned, the men students
numbering more than twice as many
as the women. Columbia College has
the largest registration in its history,
1909. Barnard has also broken all its
past records with a total Of III.
The total enrolment for all depart
ments of the university is 22,6os, of
which 2,420 are undergraduates, 5,7s4
graduate and professional students and
1859 summer session students. The
graduate students come from all over
the world and are more numerous than
ever before in the university's his
tory. this being especially true OF
Chinese and Japanese students. The
increased number Of students from
other lands is ascribed partly TO the
prominent part taken by America IN
the war and partly 10 the disorganized
condition of the educational system Of
Europe.
The most striking increase Indicated
by the figures for this year Is that
FOR the Department OF Extension Teach
ing, which offers classes IN the even
irgs for students unable TO attend reg
ular courses. More than S,40O per
sons are enrolled for the evening in
struction, an increase Of 5000 over
last year. All departments and schools
are enjoying q larger attendance than
in many years and. in the case OF some
the number enrolled for classes IS too
large for the facilities. The graduate
faculties and the Department OF Bot
any and Zoology are sufferers IN this
respect and will need new buildings IN
the near future, as predicted by pres
ident Butler in q statement week
ago.
The total figures announced yester-
day do not include the registration IN
the Home Study Branch of Extension
Teaching, which began work this fall.
There has been a large enrolment for
the Home Study courses, which are
conducted by mail and supervised by
regular members OF the teaching stan.
Men and women from all over the
world are taking the courses, IT was
said at the university, many Of them
in Canada and iasular possessions OF
the United States.
