Two Big Questions feel on the

These two questions will be heard
pretty nearly every time two men in
terested in public affairs meet. There
is nobody in this neck Of the woods
qualified to answer the question. The
writer, with all due modesty, but out
of an experience extending through
some years, suggests that Washington
is the very last place to obtain ac-
curate information about the state Of
the country.
1t can't be done. People from an
over the country como here. but rs q
rule they describe things to you either
as they want them to appear to- you. or
as they think you would like to have
them. You have to go to the sources
Of information and be pretty careful

some claim, the women as a rule vote
as their male relatives do, it is a
question of arithmetic. but, as stated,
that is not admitted as a fact, nor
proved to be so.
How will they vote if some great
issue of humanitarianism, sentiment
or the like is infused into the CAM

stance? 1t has been claimed that the
women responded to the sentiment He

heated discussion ON both sides of that
assertion. in support and dispute Of it.
It is often asserted by the hardened
old political manipulators that the
women are susceptible of being swayed
by appeals to emotion that do not af-

woman suffrage retort that If such be

the fight to the caucus again and
seek to upset the assignments.

Capt. W ashburn Describes
Tournament Held i'm
Paris by the Soldiers


In spite of the ravages made IN It's
ranks by the world war, in spite OF the
WEAKNESS wrought by four years OF
heroic graphing with death on the far
flung battle line of France, the world OF
lawn tennis has already started to rise
from the ashes and lay plans for the
future.
France, still bleeding from her
wounds, has shown the way by sending
her challenge to Australia for the DAVIS
Gun matches in 1920. Assurances have
already been given that America, Eng
land Canada, Belgium and Italy Will
follow suit, and this means that the
came is in for the greatest PERIOD IN
IFS long and honorable history.
A letter made public last night by
officials of the United States National
lawn Tennis Association gives an in
eiqht INTO the way things arc shaping
themselves in France. If France can
thus rise supreme above her trials OF
the last four fearful years there should
be small, doubt that the other ma
tons among the Allies will do as much.

tourney was open to all soldiers Of the

The letter follows:
"The idea of the tournament orgi-

PINEHURST, N. c., Jan. 1s-Don
Nj. Parker, of the Garden City Golf
Club, won the final match of the golf
tournament of the Advertising Inter
ests here to-day. He capped the climax
to week of brilliant playing by easily
defeating William NJ McCord, of the
Rumson Country Club, in the deciding
tussle at thirty-six holes. Parkcr's
margin of victory was G and s.
McCord's game suffered relapse
this afternoon, and he trailed Parker
from the first drive. The Jersey
player, by virtue Of his victories over
several of the early favoritcs, was OK
brush for the honors. AS matter Of
record, it was the poorest match in the
first division during the week.
1t could hardly be d.gnifed as a CON
test, for it was too one-sided to hold
the interest Of the gallery after the
first Sew holes. At one stage the Gar
