Clubwomen Show Sense.

No conservatism of to-day is SO hide.
bound as to deny THAT women's clubs
have reason for existence. In consti
tutional questions, in problems of good
government, in practical philanthropy,
in politics the interest of women IS as
legitimate and normal and proper as
the interest of men, and the differing
sex viewpoint makes strictly feminine
discussion of these matters desirable.
But this is wholly remote thing
from the raising of what may be caHed
questions of morbidity, to make copy
for such newspapers as thrive on the
decadence they develop. Nobody can
imagine any gathering of men solemn
ly discussing "indecercy in dress" the
immodesty Of shirtsleeves, the moral
issue of short trousers. Men have 9th
er things to think about.
A resolution to start a campaign ITO
control indecency of dress by appeal
ing to designers Of fashions and dealers,
who only give women what women
want, was an absurd thing TO offer in
the City Federation of Women's Clubs.
Some debate was inevitable. But in
the last analysis plain common sense
won and the resolution was laid on
the table This course was advised by
the Professional Women's league, which
is what its name implies and has al
ways been guided by sane discretion.
We congratulate the Federation Of
Womens clubs The resolution was
virtually an insult to the sex, which
dictates its own fashions as always,
Turning it down was an indication that
these particular clubwomen have both
dignity and a sense of perspective And
every such indication is cheering to
those who hope most of good from
feminine participation in politics and
in social organization. Brooklyn Eagle.

BERGER IS THROWN
 OUT BY CONGRESS
Is Denied His Seat by 0ver-
 Whelming Majority

Washington, Nov. 11.-Nictor l.. Berger of Milwaukee, socialist was denied his seat in the house yesterday by an overwhelming vote, the house holding he was ineligible for mem- bcrship because of his open Opposi- ton to war.
 After denying the seat to Berger the house declared that the seat was vacant, holding that Joseph r. Car nay, democrat, who contested Berger election, did not receive a plurality in the election last year. Without rec ord vote, the house also directed Speaker Gillett to notify the WlsCon- sin governor of the vacancy in the state delegat tion so that a special cleo ton may be called to choose new member.
 The vote to 1nseat Berger was 3O9 to i. Representative Noigt, repubIi- can, of Wisconsin, being the only member to support the Wisconsin so- calist either during the debate or on the roll call
 Berger appeared in the house soon after the session opened. Representa- tive Dallinger, republican, of Massa- + chusetts, chairman of the special com- mittee which investigated the case, said the only issue involved was that of Americanism.
 Tt is whether a man who in 1911 took oath as a member of this house to support the constitution gn'nd who when this country declared war against the imperial German govern ment, became the head and front of an organized conspiracy to hinder; ob- struct and embarrass this government in it's fight for existence, should be admitted 10 mem bership in this house." said Dallinger, The com- natttee is convinced upon all the facts and upon all the precedents in this house that Victor l.. Berger should be excluded from membership and that the question should now be de- termined by this house.
 "In the opinion of the committee the house expects it; the men who
