Willis X. Jones, who is a candidate for
the Democratic nomination for the House
of Delegates from Baltimore city. has sent
to the Just Government League the follow
ing letter in reply to an inquiry as to his
position on woman suffrage:
in answer to your inquiry as to my
position on woman suffrage. let me say
very candidly that am opposed to the
ratification of the Anthony amendment.
and expect to cast my vote accordingly in
case of my election.
ITO me it is quite evident that the vast
majority of our people. both men and
women, are opposed to woman suffrage
If am elected to the Legislature shall
feel it my duty, and it will be my purpose
at all times. to act in accordance with
what believe to be the wishes of the peO-
pile whom | represent. Entertaining these
views, could not consistently vote for any
measure extending the right of franchise
to women.
But aside from the above. the people
of Maryland are entitled to a referendum
on this question. The Constitution of this
State limits the right of suffrage TO male
, citizens. and. as you know. amendments
may be proposed either by the General
Assembly, three-fifths of the members of
both houses concurring. or by constitu-
tional convention. In no case. however.
can an amendment to the Constitution OF
Maryland become effective until ratified
by majority vote of the people in gen.
eral election The ratification of the Fed
eral suffrage amendment by the General
Assembly Of Maryland. with the requisite
number of other States. would enfranchise
the women of this State without any ref.
erendum whatsoever. AS view the sub
ject, therefore. vote by member of the
General Assembly Of this State in favor of
this amendment is not only vote to force
upon the people of this State something
that they do not want, but it is also a vote
to deprive them of safeguards reserved
under the State Constitution, which every
member is sworn to support.
There is still another reason why this
amendment should not be ratified Even
If the people of this State should want
woman's suffrage, 1t is not for Maryland
to say when the other States of this Union
should extend the right OF franchise to its
women. and yet our General Assembly
would be doing this very thing by ratfy-
ing this amendment 1t is Maryland 8
business TO say whom it will permit to vote
for its public officials. and the same thing
is true Of every other State.
THE way in which this amendment and
the prohibition amendment have been jam
med through the Legislatures Of the various
States has convinced me the amendment
which our Federal Constitution most needs
is one that will take away from the State
Legislatures the power of ratification Of
Federal amendments and place it iii the
hands Of the people. where 1t properly
belongs.
you are at liberty to give the contents
of this letter such publicity as you may
wish. as have no desire TO pussyfoot my
way into Office The people are entitled
to know where candidates for the Legisla
ture stand on public questions. and IL
cannot win my nomination and election
fairly. prefer to stay home"

Girl War Worker Is Swept To Death
Over Great Falls.

swept over the rapids at Great Falls, in
iull sight of several hundred men and
women, Miss Selma Margaretten, young
woman war worker employed in the Ad-
)utant Generals Office. War Department,
was drowned last Saturday afternoon,
after she had made thrilling and almost
successful fight against the heavy currents
that finally dragged her under.
Miss Marearetten, who was twenty-three
years old, lived at 215 Rock Creek Church
road, Washington city. and her parents are
in Los Angeles.
With Miss Clara Larson, of $50 u street,
northeast, Washington, Miss Margaretten
had gone to Great Falls for a holiday, and
the two were on the rocks above the falls
when Miss Larson asked her companion to
pose for picture.
Spying large rock on the edge of the
swift current. Miss Marsaretten sprans on
it so that she might be photographed in
the picturesque surroundings. but in at
tempting to get back she failed to land
squarely on the treacherous stone, and a
moment later was being carried to her
death in the rapids below.
By what seemed to be a miracle the
young war worker apparently was unhurt
after being carried over the main falls
and was seen to be making valiant efforts
to reach the shore, using side arm SWIM
ming stroke that bespoke familiarity with
the water. But just below the main falls
is row of sharp rocks very near the sur
face when the river is low, and she was
apparently injured by one of them.
After passing over these rocks her efforts
to swim were seen to become feeble. and
when abreast of the big eddy just below
the falls on the Virginia side she disap-
peared in the current.
Her body was recovered Sunday morning
near the Anglers Club House. about three
miles below the point where she fell in the
river. An investigation of the cause of
her death was unnecessary. as the acct
dent was witnessed by number of persons.
Upon this information Magistrate Gather,
of this town. Sunday evening authorized
Constable Boswell, who had the body in
charge, to turn it over to Washington
city undertaken to prepare it for burial at
the request of relatives of Miss Margaretten.

DemobIlizing Army Great Achieve
ment.

The rehabilitation Of our army to date
was declared one of the greatest accom-
plshments of the war by Secretary Baker
recently in statement pointing out the
comparison between the figures in this war
and those of SO and '65. The Secretary
laid particular emphasis upon the great
record of transportation achieved in re-
turning the men from France
THE rehabilitation record to date is
one of the most splendid successes of the
war. said the Secretary. ut ranks favor
ably with the greatest achievements of the
war. In one month alone we brought
home more than third of a million men,
this with little help from the British and
French shipping. which had largely been
withdrawn at that time. The British and
French took more than fifty per cent of
our men overseas. but almost single-handed
we brought back as many as 1854. 900 men
in the month of June. more men than were
ever transported overseas in a single
month.
Rehabilitation during the present war
has far eclipsed the work of either the Civil
or the Spanish war. To date we have
brought back from overseas more than |, :
$4,000 men. We have demobilized all
but about 100000 of our four million men.
in one month after the signing of the
Armistice we had demobilized 351.206
men and 10000 officers. In 1898 it took
| ten months to muster out 1877. 1897 of the
216.256 officers and men serving when the
American force in that war was at its
peak. Certain units were demObilized from
the Philippines even later than that. In
the Civil War the strength of the volunteer
army was 1884 .064 when disqualification
began. 1t took from May 1. 1865. to No
vember l, 1866. or eighteen months. to
muster out this force. In approximately
two and a half months after the Armistice
we had mustered out 1923. 1884 men and
$4,000 officers, thus more than equaline
the eighteen-month record of the civil war.
THE movement homeward and demo-
Utilization Of troops began almost contem-
poraneo1sly with the signing of the Arm
istice. At the time the President. going
abroad in March. ordered rapid demobili-
cation. the first processes were well under
way and from that time on we have car
ried out a program of rehabilitation that
is almost astounding under circumstances
| of transportation and other difficulties that
had to be overcome.
There are at present approximately
$4,000 emergency troops to be dis
charged. There are less than l00. 900 men
now in Europe and under present plans
there will be less than $4,000 men in
France on September /. There are already
more than a hundred thousand new en-
lstments and about $4,000 new enlist
ments are needed to bring the enlisted
quota of the army up to the authorized
225.O00 strength"
Further figures on enlistments in the
regular army show that 2l.67l of the men
newly enlisted have expressed their pref
Ierences as regards places Of service. Of
these 1854 have expressed desire to
serve in Europe. Among the branches OF
service preferences given 1884 want to
serve in the infantry. while 1873 express
preference for cavalry.

that Mr.. Morgantheau has been and is
the league of nations. He has toured
the country as one of the recognized
spokesman OF the league forces, urg-
ing that the hope of the world rested
in the adoption of the covenant. In
spite of the fact that the chief reason
for the league. as alleged by its sup
porters, is to prevent war the former

WHY WILSON DOMINATES

Those who boast of the domination
of Wilson at the peace table should
take second thought and realize how
that domination has been made pos
sible. 1t is not solely through his in
tellectual leadership, nor through his
force of will. but rather because he
has behind him the grain, hogs and
cattle produced by the American farm
er, and the billions of American mon
ey. Because the peoples of Europe
are hungry, he is forcing them to do
his bidding. What he hopes to ac-
complish may be for the best, but his
methods are as old as the hills.
The Delta independent., 1919-05-30
REPUBLICAN DRIFT

A correspondent of the New York
Evening Post who is thoroughly sym.
pathetic with President Wilson's ideas
has recently returned from 10000
mile trip over the country for the pur.
pose of testing political sentiment. He
finds very strong anti-Wilson senti-
ment. and growing irritation at the
administration policies. This author
ity confirms what everyone who reads
or travels or talks must feel.
The people are sick Of neglect of
reconstruction problems, of failure to
call Congress together to consider
them, of partisan handling Of war af-
fairs. of bungling of the war supply
work, of relegating a conspicuous mill
tary leader to a low position, of the
extrayagance of government operation
Of public utilities. and the general lack
of business spirit at washington.
If the election were to be held today
any one of dozen good republicans
could be elected. And unless Congress
makes inexcusable blunders, the same
condition will exist in November. 1920.
However, that is no reason why the
republicans of Congress should no:
play the game very carefully. Division
must if possible be avoided. There
must be spirit of accommodation and
concession, so that progressives and
conservatives shall be kept together.
The republican leaders keep stead
lily in mind that they must work for
the interest of the great mass of the
people. They must not merely pro-
duce prosperity for the wealthy peo-
pie and great corporations. but they
must produce prosperity for the mass
of the wage earners. OF course. the
two things usually go together. which
is often forgotten. But they must con-
slider and initiate practical measures
of social welfare. If they work along
in this spirit, the election of 1920 will
give Mr.. Wilson or any other demo
cratic candidate scarce,, more than
the solid South.
