ADVENT OF WOMEN IN POLITICS
WILL PROVE A GOOD THING
Sentiment is Needed in Consideration
of Many Problems of the Day

SeutIHShS ~ NeSuou IN CONSIDERATION
of Many Problems of the Day
Senator Irving L. Lenroot, Repub-
lican, of Wisconsin, as introduced
measure providing for a unifca-
ton of the railroads Of the country
into enc privately owned system
with earnings guaranteed, the man
agement shared by the security hol-
ders, public and employees, and with
provision for sharing excess profits
between the public, the employees and
the government.
Under the proposed plan the man
agement, while private, would be un-
der the supervision of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, but conduct
ed by board of directors appointed
by the President and confirmed by
the Senate, consisting of two employ
es, two representing commerce, indus
try and shippers as represented by the
U. S. Chamber of Commerce, two farm
ers, three security holders and one
each from the Interstate Commerce
Commission and the State Railway
Commissions. Dividends of per
cent. would be guaranteed by the gov
eminent on all stock issued, but must
have the approval of the Interstate
Commerce Commission. In distribut-
ing the earnings a maximum dividend
of per cent. would be fixed for new
stock, while 40 per cent. would be paid
to labor, 30 per cent to the public for
improvements and retiring outstand-
ing stock and the remainder to the
stockholders.
Senator Lenroot thinks the inter
ests of men and women are identical
hence ne feels that they are equally
interested in solution of the rail-
road question. They are affected
exactly alike; the cost of railroad
transportation, both freight and pas
senger, enters every home. The well
fare of the employees upon the rail-
road concerns private and national
life. If they are overworked and I'M
derpaid the public suffers, because
they cannot give efficient service.
Men and women, according to the
Senator, have an equal interest in
general legislation of the nation. at
is true" he says, "that in certain
matters of legislation their interests
are more direct because these more
directly affect them. l feel there is
no legislation before Congress that
should not interest women, and l be-
lieve it does interest them quite as
much as the men.
Upon every public question wo-
men are taking just as keen and just
as intelligent interest as are men.
The only distinction that | see be-
tween the women and the men in the
consideration of public questions is
the possibility that women may be
more likely to be moved by consid
erations of sentiment than the prac-
teal side of the problems confronting
them. If this is true it is not an
unmixed evil, for we need more senti
ment than we find among men in the
consideration of public problems. On
the other hand, progress cannot be
made without full realization of the
practical side. For this reason l feel
that the advent of women into politics
is splendid thing"

Shipyard Workers to Vote
On Countrywide Strike

PORTLAND, Ore, Feb. 25.-En-
dorsement of the metal yard ship
strikes at Seattle and Tacoma, which
has tied up shipyards in those cities
since Jan. q, was given last night by
the Pacific Coast Metal Trades Dis
trict Council, which concluded an g.
day conference here by calling for q
referendum vote of all jurisdictional
unions on a proposal for country
wide strike April 1. The proposed
strike would be for the purpose of en-
forcing wage demands made by Puget
Sound shipyard workers in excess OF
those fixed by the Macy awards,
which expire March 81.
The council, in announcing its de-
cision, issued an official statement in
which it brands as false the, state.

circulated to the effect that the
northwest strike was a Bolshevist
movement"
Continuing, the statement says:
"The convention went on record
unanimously in favor of the establish
ment of six-hour day in order to
make employment for those that are
unemployed.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-It WIN

years, to pay of the war debt, ac-
cording to estimates of the treasury.
based on incomplete knowledge of pre-
cisely what the final war debt will be.
This calculation is made on the as
sumption that the net war debt, with
deductions for loans to the allies. will
be in the neighborhood of $1S .000, ,000,-
900. Interest on this amount at the
rate Of Az per cent would be 765 .000.-
600 a year. to be raised by taxes.
and then repaid to to bond holders.
In addition, about SAT- 100000 would
have to be provided every year as q
sinking fund to redeem all bonds In
Is years.
This would require cumulative
sinking fund provision of 2.32 per
cent. Congress has not yet authori-
zed establishment of a sinking fund,
as recommended by Secretary Glass.
Treasury officials assert that II this
authorization is given, bonds might
be bought up on the market each year,
or called for redemption atsthe periods
provided In terms under which they
were sold.

EFFORT MADE TO
Cause DISCORD
WITH JAPANESE
fBy Associated Press>

vLADIVOSTOK, Monday Feb. "a.
Attacks by certain newspapers on
the attitude of the American troops
in eastern Siberia with the evident
purpose of attempting to arouse Rus
sian sentiment against the Americans
and to create discord between the
Americans and Japanese have been
answered by Col. Henry D. Styer, OF
the American army. The attacks were
based on the facts that the Americans
had given protection at khabarovsk
TO 1900 Cossacks who had muttned
against Qeneraf Kafmikoff, their COM
mander.
An alleged wireless dispatch from
Funadashi (near Tokio) reproduced
in the Vestnik, says that only the
presence Of the Japanese troops at
Khabarovsk prevented part OF the
American troops from joining the mu-
tineers. The Dalny Vostok, the organ
Of General Kalmikoff declares that
the mutiny was arranged in territory
under American control and that
American soldiers took part in the
plans. It refers to the general atti-
tude of the Americans toward the Rus
slams as one of arrogance and con
dencsion.
"It is not the habit of American Of
ficers," says Col. Styer in his state.
ment, ito pay attention to absorbed
gossip and newspaper criticism. How
ever, at the request of our allies we
make the following official explana.
ton:
American troops have no intention
of defending or sheltering political
parties or groups whether they are
called Bolsheviki or other names. The
Americans recently disarmed the Cos
sack deserters for the sole purpose OF
avoiding blood-shed and disorder. We
are keeping them under guard while
the allied military council at Vladivos
tok decides what is to be done with
them. The American troops are al
ways ready to act conjointly with the
commander of the allied force in the
defense of safety"

Eighty-fiue Thousand
German Helmets To Be
Given A.uay BY u. S.
tBy Associated Press,

WASHINGTON, Feb 25.-Eight-five
thousand captured German helmets,
sent to this country by General Perish
ing, for Victory Liberty Loan adver-
tising, and now dumped in a huge
pile at Hoboken, N. j., today sent gov
ernment lawyers prying into their
books to find some statutes under
which the "iron hats" might be given
away.
At first the war department said the
loan managers plans for using the he'll
NETS as prizes for the best records in
each district could not be carried out
becauseS the government, by law, was
forbidden from giving away materials.
Then Frank p. Wilson, director Of
loan publicity, thought Of an old law
permitting the government to give
away munitions Of no value" Now
war department lawyers are checking
up on the law.
Meanwhile, a long distance tele-
phone message to the treasury from
Hoboken said souvenir hunters from
the neighborhood are nibbling into
the pile of helmets without waiting
the lawyers decision.

ware as Second Glass matter

1t is hopeful sign to see the fine
spirit of unanimity between Smyrna
and Clayton in the matter of public
utilities, especially the subject of cleo
trio lights and day current. At a
meeting of Smyrna Town Council,
Friday evening, the Committee from
Clayton Town Council were given a
cordial welcome and it was pleasing
to note that they were heartily in
favor of making a deal with Smyrna
for electric current for the Town of
Clayton. They want their streets
lighted, presented the desires of own
ers of as or more properties who
wanted to introduce electric lights in
their homes and business places, and
noted that some of their industries
wanted current for power. Personally,
the gentlemen expressed a desire for
a better cooperation between the two
towns, to the end that good road, a
cement walk lighted with electric
lights and fine High School build
ing to do for both towns, be built be-
tween the two municipalities. There
was a fine spirit protrayed and gave
hope that a remodeled electric light
plant to serve both towns with contin-
uous current was soon to be reality.
Smyrna Town Council practically gave
assurance to the project by ordering
that the attorneys for the two towns
get together and draw up terms of
agreement. A modern electric light
plant and day current, long the dream
of so many of our citizens, seems an
assured fact, and Clayton is in line to
enjoy it, too.
