young Bobby, and s. He literally
crushed the young Georgian with the ir-

gradually, but surely wore the young
Ser down, frazzled his nerves and
wrecked his game with an exhibition Of
golf that was always just as good as it
needed to be.

lie expenditure to prevent vice has
the same effect. Vice is its own
curse. If we let nature alone she
cures vice by the most frightful PEN
'alties. 1t may shock. you to hear ME
say it, but when you get over the
shock i. will do you good to think
of it.: drunkard in the gutter is
just where he ought to be. Nature is
working away at him to get him out
of the way, just as she sets up her
process of dissolution to remove
whatever is failure in It's line.
Gambling and less mentionable vices
all cure themselves by the ruin and
dissolution of their victims. Nine
tenths Of our measures for preventing
vice are really protective toward it,
because they ward off the penalty.
Ward off," say, and that is the
usual way of looking at it; but is the
penalty really annihilated? By no
means. 1t is turned into police and
court expenses and spread over those
who have resisted vice. 1t is the
Forgotten Man again who has been
subjected to the penalty-the clean,
quiet, virtuous, domestic citizen, who
pays his debts and his taxes and is
never heard of out of his little circle.
Yet who is there in the society of
civilized state who deserves to be
remembered and considered by the
legislator and statesman before this

the end of the year they had $4,000

One found honesty, too, in people
in whom it was least expected. There
was the race track follower, for
example, who admitted that he made
his living by betting on the horses.
He figured, he said, that he had made
s55 week and the income tax clerk
filed out the return that way. The
next morning he was back again.

my figuring" he said. 81 believe

showed the revised figures to the
clerk, by which his weekly income
was in the neighborhood Of SIS

One poker player frankly admitted
he had made 5000 at the game last
year, and the amount was shown In /

SPRING rs A CONDITION.

The temptation to revile the bards who sang
of spring is one to which we easily succumb In
sour, dour days such as we are having this
month; and we may expect sardonic irony
about ethereal mildness" and that ''sweet
daughter of stormy sire" who hangs the in
FAINT blossoms out, unlocks the flowers and
paints the meadows with delight. As for ethe-
real mildness, however, this may be it.
There are makers of odes to spring whose
guarded utterances do not convict them of
hyperbole. 1t certainly is ''the boyhood of the
year" as Tennyson tells US; and Willis is quite
within the facts in stating that with it comes
"a thirst to be away He might have added
that other thirsts come also which are even hard
er to satisfy unless one goes away very far-to
Cuba or Mexico, for instance Aristotle noted
lin his time that one swallow does not make
spring. Numerous swallows are needed to make
the season normal, and this spring has been
practically swallowless thus far. The fact of
the matter is that the word spring. as the poets
use it, is the name for condition and not
date. Spring is here when it gets here; and for
all we know nature has been tinkering the time
and setting the cosmic clock ahead

VOLUNTARY TRAINING.

The senate approves voluntary training for
youths between the ages eighteen and twenty
one. OF course this is a compromise move, the
best advocates Of universal training could get
j from a senate under the influence Ct election
fears. The plea of economy made much head
way with the public, since there is great need
for economy. There is prevailing notion Of
military safety because We have our great
body of ex-service men But the real cause of
opposition lay below these surface arguments
of opposition.
On the whole, if the house concurs in the
senate's action, much good may come Of the
voluntary training provision. What the camps
did is matter Of record. The college training
military units also proved the existence of a
considerable body of our young men who are
ready to take advantage of training of the sort
the senate bill presumably foreshadows If vol
untary training is Incorporated in the army re-
organization bill and if it is so managed as to
become popular as it ought, there will be
formed growing nucleus Of young men whose
Influence will be exerted to enlarge the scope
Of this training When the young men of the
nation believe in universal training and want
it, it will come.

WOMEN IN POLITICS

Leslies: Shall women enter
politics as women or as citizens?
This is the big question con
fronting the women of America,
who. after long and heroic strug-
gle, are about to become voters
by constitutional amendment
There is the very real sense in
which women VIII have to enter
politics as women. They cannot
and win not unsex themselves.
Women have always been, and,
let us hope, always will be funda-
mentally different from men.
There is nothing on earth more
distressing to look upon than a
mannish women unless it be a
womnish man. The Creator made
women because it was not posi-
BILE to put into one sex all of
of those opposite and yet compile
mentary spiritual energies which
were necessary to complete the in
carnation of Himself in human
nature. He saw that It was NOT
good for man to be alone because
apart from woman he was less
than half a man.
In politics a man is a man and
woman will be a woman Indeed
this is the great thing that we
hope for in the enfranchisement
OF women; that they shall bring
with them into politics a new
point of view, a new standard of
value, a new moral enthusiasm
and a new sense of direction by
which the nation shall feel it's
way forward toward better and
happier days.
We want neither a mans party
nor a woman's party in politics.
Such an alignment would throw
our national life into confusion
and slow down all progress. Men
and women alike must vote as
citizens. They cannot change
their sex nor can they substitute
sex for citizenship. Historically
woman suffrage is not sex ques-
ton. 1t grows out of the funda-
mental forward trend of organized
society. Political and social de-
velopment is simply the story of
the progressive characterization
of life. Since history began the
ground of public authority has
steadily broadened, passing down
from king to mobiles. from mobiles
to middle classes, until in these

Gold No Longer Thrills.

to lose its power to conjure up In the
average mind visions of unlimited

precious metal, but they are not max

last days it has included all male
citizens. 1t must be self-evident
to any fair-minded student of his
tory that this process cannot stop
until every man and every woman
in the world assumes his or her
full share of responsibility for the
general welfare. The right to
vote is not sex right; it is
moral right resting upon the dem
ocratic principle that government
derives it's just power from the
consent of the governed
Moreover it must never be for
gotten that class movements con-
tain within themselves the seeds
of political failure. A democracy
knows no class, creed, breed or
sex. 1t recognizes only the citi-
zen as human being clothed with
certain rights and governed by
certain duties which inhere in his
humanity. This is why the mas
culine monopoly of citizenship has
had to give away. 1t was wrong
in principle and in a democracy
could not be permanent.
There are many things which
women can do and ought to do
in politics as women. They will
lead the way to proper regulation
of the industrial conditions under
which women work. They will,
we hope, find means to purge from
our nation the black stain of child
slavery under the guise of shild
labor. And they will bring to
our municipal administration a
new realization of the truth that
city government is simply house
keeping and home-making on a
larger scale. Men are poor
housekeepers Perhaps the wo-
men will help them clean up the
slatternly mess of municipal in
efficiency under which our cities
now lie buried.
We doff our editorial hat with
profound respect to woman as the
female of the species, perhaps
more deadly, but always more de-
lightful that the male. In public
life we extend the hand of cordial
welcome to our new voters as fell
low citizens. the equals of men
only if they serve their country
as we'll, the superiors of men
only if they prove themselves to
be better citizens.

Mr.. Fosdick should change his viewpoint. 1t

wages and inflated prices for ma
terials and the metal when mined is
worth only about half as much. Other
metals have advanced in price; some,
as silver, sensationally, because their
value is measured in terms of gold.
But gold itself, like salaries of the
white collar class, has declined in
value.
AS might be expected, gold produc-
ton is falling off; in fact, production
for 1919 was the lightest since 1905.
