answer needed.

THE WOMAN CITIZEN
RAPS GOV. HOLCOMB

Women who are to vote next autumn
are much interested in what republi-
cans have done or have left undone
where the suffrage demand has been
most insistent In a recent issue the
Woman Citizen calls attention to the
fact that two republican governors,
Marcus H. Ho1comb of Connecticut,
and Pereiva1 W. Clement of Vermont,
who, held out against the Federal
amendment, were mot SO much fouting
the women of their state as houting
their political party The magazine
worth of New York, up to 1917, did
all possible to keep women investors,
taxpayers and capitalists from having
the right to vote, although they actu-
ally possess about 48 per cent. of the
wealth of the state that he is supposed
to represent.

THE VETS NOT ASLEEP.

No, the vets OF the country have
not given up the fight. perhaps
they are with their backs to the wall
they will admit tnat much-but
they are not entirely vanquished.
John Barleycorn is not a corpse so
dead that the undertaken must get
him. He is only paralyzed and MS
friends hope he will recover sulll-
ciently TO get around.
Tho point is. the vets are oaslns
their last ditch fight on the prlncl-
pc of states rights. They are pefore
the Supreme Court with the claim
that states should be permitted 70
regulate the quantity of alcohol IL
ouor might contain within their Dor
ders.
Perhaps, they say, the government
can regulate what passes between the
states but the states should have the
right to determine the strength OF
the spirits made and sold WITHIN
their borders. -,
The indications are that this Will
he a big issue in the democratic ana
republican conventions to be held this
year. Leaders in both parties are di-
vided on the issue. Some OF the dem
ocratic leaders are afraid the repub-
licans will adopt a wet plank OF lib
eral proportions and others are
afraid they won't. The same may be
said of the leaders in the repuoll-
can party in their attitude toward the
democl attic party.
According to the Literary Digest,
which has made careful survey OF
the political field, the issue will be
put squarely up to the voters in ev.
cry state in the union. This forecast
is borne out by the fact that for the
first time in many years prohibition
will be an issue in South Carolina
politics.
Solicitor Warren of the 14th cir
cult has announced that he will be a
candidate for the United States Sen
ate, and will advocate amending the
prohibition laws so as to allow each
state to say for itself what percen-
tage of alcohol the beverages sold
within it's borders should contain.
And there is some consolation in
the reflection that if the vets are
successful it will mean nearer-beer
than any before served in the states
permitting it's sale.

A SOVIET FAILURE.

For two years Premier Lenine, au-
tocrat of soviet Russia, has attempted
to run a country without capital. He
now confesses failure by sending to
bankers and manufacturers Of Amer
lea an invitation to make investments
in Russia, pledging them security and
ample profits.
The dream that a country can be
run without capital, that private prop
erty can be abolished, has ended. The
industry of Russia must be reorganiz'
ed along "capitalistic' lines. The
Bolshevists are ready to guarantee
the sanctity of private property
Capital is begged to come back.
1t cost considerable agony to Rus
sia to prove the point.
