SUNDAY. OCTOBER IL. 1920.
As Their Mothers PRAYED

/ low VIII the women vote? The Ques-
ton is being asked anXiously all over
ms broad country and the politicians con
fess their bewildcrment. Here in Virginia
the answer is easy. 1t is: They will vote
as their mothers prayed, and as they would
have voted had they been given tho oppor-
tunty. Who can doubt il?
Since the suffrage amendment was rau-
fed there has been much loose gussip OF
woman S independence along political lines
of separate party for women, even of
revenge at the polls to be wreaked upon
men who honestly opposed the Federal in
curson upon the States. It is possible. bu,
far from probable. that some such bizarre
movement may be development of the
future. 1t is more likely however, that
political questions will be settled in the
nome much as domestic Sproblcms are de-
tcrmined. Husband and wife will discuss
Inc situation about their fresidc, their chill
dren around them, decide the issue and
then arm i'll arm, go to the polls and cast
their ballots for the same candidate. But
that is OF the future.
Today there are comparatively fcw
women in Virginia who will not be in
ilncnced ny the thought of what their
mothers would have done under similar
conditions. Many OF these gray-haircd
saints are still with us. They remember

Inrding's Outlay ICnc,lc

CENATOR HARDING is crcdulous to The
~ point of stupidity if he really believes
that Great Britain, France or any of the
others OF the forty-one nations that have
subscribed TO its covenant and pledged their
honor to its maintenance would be willing
at his behest to kick the league of nations
overheard and join an association which is
possible only in his fatuous Imagination.
AS Secretary of State Colby points out,
such an association is barred by tho league
under Article NX. OF the covenant, and il
could he organized only in the event that
the league, now functoning successfully. is
dissolved and fresh start made from the
zero point. Under that article the faith OF
the nations is pledged against it, and that
pledge will be kept nviolate even If Amer
lea should decide to remain in its present
selfish and dishonorabc isolation

OF nat ions his one hope lies in the formation
OF an outlaw league. Germany, Russia, Aus
