COX AND SLUSH

GOVERNOR CON is becoming tire e
~ some with his constant repetition
of the charge that the Republicans have
"slush fund" of S15. 900. 900 to elect
Harding. If he has the proof to offer
that such fund exists and that it is
being illegally used he ought to produce
it. But he only raises doubts of his
good faith by merely making the charge
every time he appears before an audi
ence and not attempting to substan-
tiate it.
Coming from n candidate who owes
his nomination to the most vicious ma
chine elements in the Democratic party.
like Tammany and the old Roger Sulli-
van outfit in Illinois. elements which
have never hesitatcd to shake down
every plum on the corporation and
Office holding tree each election. un-
supported charges of this kind are
hardly becoming.
1t is rather distressing to people of
good taste to see the course Mr.. Cox has
been pursuing recently along the lines
Of vituperntion and dCnunciatiOn. His
speeches in the last week have Smacked
more of petty precinct mud singing

From the point at which he ended
the statement of his beliefs, Mr.. Hard
ing will logically continue toward the
translation of his convictions in a
realistic working policy. That will be
by no means an easy task. The Kansas
experiment. and especially the outline
Of a working method provided by Mr..
Hoover and his associates in the indus
trial conference, offer the machinery of
industrial justice and peace ready made.
The Misunderstanding existing be-
tween the workers and the managers
and the owners in industry will have
to be overcome before that machinery
can be made operative. Those differ
cnces are largely spiritual. Managers
and officials and foremen will have to
realize that the sensibilities and desires
and aspirations Of their lowest subord-
mates are fundamentally the same as
their own. The whole process of pro-
duction. especially in the highly organ
lied industries, needs humanizing.
IL the next President can prove for
the whole world of industry the truth
of all this, he will be in a way to bring
peace in n field where war still threat
ems to be almost continuous.

MRS. EDWARD W. BIDDLE, of

country an added duty and a broadened
field for service.
For many years Mrs. Bidle has stood
in the forefront of the women who lave
interested themselves in the city's well
fare. Few Philadelphians of either
sex have enjoyed wider experience in
civic movements.
Her highest hope is that through pos
session of the vote and the incentive
which it will give for participation in
public affairs the women of Philadelphia
will work side by side with the men in
the promotion of all civic improvements

Mrs. Biddle evidently secs no danger
Of what might be called "class soldar-
ity" among the women voters. She
expects them to vote not as women as
a whole. but as intelligent individuals
who will form opinions. of their own and
necessarily divergent opinions.
Hopes for Better Future

We do among the men, she said.
Il should be sorry to seem to discredit
the good that men have done in order
to extol the hope that women will do
better.
"And yet" she added whimsically.
- hope that the women will do better.
Mrs. Fiddle is conscious of the dis'
putes and divergenccs there have been
between men and women, especially in
matters of politics and policies in the
past. 1t is her ardent desire that thes"
divCrgenccs be brought together, so that
men and women will walk side by side
and shoulder to shoulder along the way
of better city and state.
The thing for women to do. in my
opinion" Mrs. Biddlc explained. lis

She said then: "I can make no

simply to operate with the men.

on this committee seems to us only q
natural step in the equal suffrage plan.

''Inasmuch as women are to be
voters, it is well that they should make
a careful study of political matters, so
they will really understand and be able
to Operate efficiently with the men"
Mrs Biddlc holds to this same opin-
ion now that the last barrier to suffrage
is down and the women have come into
their own politically.
II have been in public welfare move
ments for twenty five years." said Mrs.
Fiddle in talking of the new vistas
opened up by the granting of suffrage.
II know Of almost innumerable ways
in which the women will be able to help
the men toward better city.
There are many big movements now
initiated which the women can advance
the more effectively because they can
back their views With their ballots. We
will not have to search far for causes
deserving of our best efforts. Men and
women together. we will strive for all
those things which will rebound to the
City's good.

gives women position in the commu-

therefore is a great blessing to women
II they use that power correctly.

ELLIS ISLAND A BAROMETER

TT THE theories of economists are
l. correct. the most welcome signs of
coming business prosperity are being
brought to these shores from Europe,
not in the holds of deeply laden cargo
ships nor in the fine salons of the
liners whore bankers and industrial
magnatcs forcgathcr, but in the deep
and dark rcCcssPS of the Stecrages,
crowded by the huddled drcgs of hu-
manity.
Economists declare that a marked in
crease of immigration into country
always preCpdCs a period of business
expansion and national we'll being. And
that marked increase. according to the
figures just given out by the Depart
mpnt of Labor, is now being shown at
Ellis Island. More than 5000 immi-
grants are now arriving daily and the
previous outward bound tide which set
in after the signing of the armistice has
been turned.
Despite the stagnatiOn Of slumping
stock market. despite the disQuieting
figures of the commodities lists despite
the inactivity in the building trades and
all of the other signs of uncertainty that
are worrying the business man, these
people, of class to whom statistics
mean nothing and for whom stock
market reports and commercial figures
are written in an unknown language,
obey the call of their friends and rela-
tivcS in this country, sent in letters
across the sea, saying that this is once
more a land of promise. And they come.
Ellis Island thus has become the
barometer, and the reading Of its figures
enables US to chart the highs and lows
upon the American business weather
map.
The map now says fair winds and
clear weather. The depression is NOV
ing away from us. We may not feel
the change ourselves as yet, but
barometer Is sensitive instrument that
registers Influences that we cannot
sense, and it will at least put us all In
a better humor to believe its signs-es
pecially when they are favorable.
