Mothers and Schools

The city of Raleigh, which Is the
capital of North Carolina, recently
had an experience of rather new
sort. Like practically all other
southern cities, she is slow and
backward in matters OF education;
and when the question OF bonding
the city for school purposes was
put before the voters in the recent
election, it was assumed Off hand
that it would be certainly defeated.
The election did not go this way,
for the bond proposition carried.
The reason was, of course, that the
women Of the city had, for the
first time, the opportunity to ex-
press their desires at the polls and
they stood so solidly for education
that the men were showed under.
This may be put down as the
stand of women everywhere in the
United States. Men may be blind

ferent as to whether the young
folks OF the land be given chance
to secure it, but the women OF the
country are neither
The truth appears to be that in
this field, women are destined to
play lar part in America in the
future. This does not mean that
they will uphold it simply by their
support at school elections, but
that they will become active in ed
ucational affairs, holding positions
on school boards and in many adj
illustrative positions, and also
that they will soon be found divid-
ing with superintendent and teach
ers the responsibility of deciding
WHAT KIND of education shall
be given in our public schools.
This last is most important Of all.
Women must sooner or later wake
up to the fact that their Judgment
is actually superior to that of
teachers and educators generally in
the selection of the subjects that
children should study in school.
This is literally true, provided wo-
men will study the question as The
teachers have studied it; and this
is the task that confronts
them. They must accept it and
throw themselves into it with all
due interest and enthusiasm.
The Journal expects to take up

which seem to demand the thought

days. 1t will come in the form of

ticles on subjects that will doubt

ers but with which they will soon
have need to be familiar.

Office Seekers Promises

Should candidates for public
offices be required after their cleo
ton to fulfill the promises they
made during their campaign? OF
course they should. Indeed, this
lis one of the very first demands
that voters should make of those
who seek and receive their support
at the polls. Bad faith in this
should be punished at least by re-
fusal to give further support at
later elections and it would be bet
ter still if some way were provided
by which voters could visit genuine
justice upon public servants who
had deliberately hoodwinked them
by false and specious promises be-
fore election.
Office-holders would doubtless
have difficulty sometimes in full
filling promises made during the
excitement OF a political campaign,
but it should be invariably re-
quired Of them nevertheless. A
particularly awkward case at pres
ent is that of Mr.. Emile Pencil,
who was recently elected to the
Missouri State Senate. He is a
bachelor of fifty three summers,
and apparently old enough to be
cautious about making promises in
which the women are concerned.
However, during this campaign he
wanted the women's votes so badly
that he went in for all kinds of
women's meetings, even attending
their tea parties and the like. Here
he seems to have lost his head, for
he is on record as having promised
that in case he should be elected,
he would marry at once and take
his wife with him to the state cap.

is beginning to worry about gust
how to make his promise good.
This is his own lookout, of course.
Certainly he had no business to
make such promise unless he had
in mind someone who would marry
him. However, even this appears
to be a detail that he overlooked.
1t is to be hoped that it may not
cause any serious difficulty; but no
concessions should be made in his
case, especially since there is a per-
fectly good principle at stake for
which voters must stand unfinch-
ingly and lmmovably.

A Woman's Field

One of the results of the war in
England was equal suffrage, so
that British women now enjoy all
the privileges of their American
sisters. Indeed, it even seems to
be true that in some respects they
are treated with more considera-
ton than are the women of Amer
lea.
England, for example, has shown
rather more willingness to put wo-
men into places of honor and trust
than has America 1t is estimated
that nearly three hundred will soon
become justices of the peace in
that country. This office in the
United Kingdom is a far more i'm
portant one than in the United
States owing to the fact that cases
of much greater Importance are
tried in Justices court there than
here. Probably the justice Of the
peace there would rank more near
ly with the judges of our Iowa dis
trict courts than with our justices
of the peace.
We give England credit for see

ing more quickly than we that IN
the determination of cases OF right
and Justice. women have distinct
advantage over men. Their sense
of Justice is keener, their interest IN
social work and service is less sell
fish and less liable to be subordl-
mated to consideration OF eNpedl-
encv, business advantage, or the
political influence of the lltlgants.
Beyond this, it is certain that IN
cases involving the welfare OF wo-
men and children, as so many do,
they would be much better able to
Judge Justly, and that In general
they would be less inclined to COM
promise with the forces OF evil.
America would do we'll to follow
the example Of England in this
matter. Women should at least
be given a chance to demonstrate
their fitness to sit in judgment in
the lesser courts of justice. 1t is,
of course, merely a matter of vo-
tiers generally accepting this view;
and it follows that we should in
the future stand ready to support
good women tor this particular
class of offices as opportunity offers

Barrels for Ballot Boxes

Barrels the size Of those used to
hold flour were substituted for bal
lot boxes in Jersey City, N. j., at
the election. The barrels had steel
hoops, reinforced bottom and a
hinged top with a slot for the
ballots.
City Clerk Dolan and Mayor
Hague decided that the boxes were
too small because woman suffrage
had doubled the number of voters.

How the People Speak

One Of the basic truths about our
government which women voters
should fix clearly in mind at the
very beginning is that political par
ties are not only necessary but in
dispensable to it.
This means literally that our re-
public could not exist long without
them for they are the sole means by
which the will Of the people can be
made known and carried into effect.
We may look upon this as an awk-
ward system, or we may disagree
with the principle of it; but we can
not ignore the cold facts that it is a
plan ordained and established by
those who set up the American de-
mocracy, and that it is for us to
accept it and adjust ourselves to it.
There are very many who do not
understand this, even though active
IN public affairs. An example is
seen in the case of Mrs. j. A. Pop
lar, OF Grand Forks, South Dakota,
who refused the nomination for a
local office during the recent cam
palgn on the following grounds:
Why can't this city set new
standard in politics? Instead of
having factions glaring at each other
susplclously, why not get together
and control tempers long enough to
agree upon candidates hat are more
or less agreeable to all?
"lt is great adventure, this
learning to live together, either in
marriage or poll les, but most of us
have become wise enough to know
that true progress is made only by
a respectful give and take attitude.
81 repeat | will never run as a
candidate OF any one faction al
though | am earnestly interested in
the common good of our CITY,"
Here we have a woman who
appears to be blind to the fact that
her government operates through
parties and in no other way. She
refuses to run as the candidate OF
any faction. Very we'll; but what
other way is there for her or any
one else to run, for party is merely
faction. Yes, she might, Of
course, run as an independent cand-
idate; and SO might everybody else
And then would our government
have broken down; for we should
have broken apart into so many
dozens or hundreds of little, strugg.
ling groups that no majority could
be secured for anything. The will OF
the people, then, could not be either
registered or executed. "The end
thereof is the way of death" 80 fal

Miller Says Predictions
In 1916 Have Come True
Cubernatorial Candidate Asserts
He Warned People of Danger
of Democratic Rule

GLENS FALLS, N. Y, Oct. 12.-Na-
than L. Miller, Republican candidate
for Governor, in an address here to-
day called attention to various prophe-
cies he made in Glens Falls four
years ago, when he spoke in connection
with the Hughes campaign.
He recalled that at that time he had
predicted if Hughes was not elected
the people would make a serious mis-
take. He declared to-day all of these
prophecies have been fulfilled.
Discussing the Spencer Wilson con-
troversy regarding whether or not the
President had promised to furnish
American army and navy support to
Rumania and Serbia Mr. Miller said:
at behooves the Democratic party
and its candidates, as we'll as Mr. Will
son, to claim that there is nothing to
that prevailing expectation on the part
of the Rumanians and Serbians and
that the covenant does not hold out
any expectations of protection from
the army and navy of this country.
"Now, all / have to say is that even
il we are dealing with expectations
and not guarantees, as the covenant
really is, the position of the American
people is that we do not propose to
hold out expectations to the rest of the
world that we do not intend to keep

Harding Accused by
Cox of I'll CHANGES
On League Issue
Democrat Opponent
Wigglingand Wabbling;
Governor for Covenant
Heart and Soul, He Says

LAFAYETTE, Ind, Oct. 12.-Gover-
nor Cox of Ohio, in busy tour Of IL
linois and Indiana, hammered heavily
upon the League Of Nations pronounce
ments of himself and Senator Harding,
picturing his Republican opponent as
wiggling and wobbling The Demo-
cratic candidate emphasized, to sixteen
audiences, that he was for the league
with whole heart and soul.
Centering his assault upon Senator
Harding's league statement to-day,
Governor Cox declared it vacillatng,
the eleventh position assumed by the
Senator, and at the heels of tempest
aroused by Mr.. Harding's Des Moines
speech. That the Senator's proposal
for a new association of nations was
held by former President Taft to be
impractical also was stressed by the
Democratic nominee.
Governor Cox expressed a belief that
America would be in the league within
few months and that no large nation
would be outside within a year, or pos
sibly six months.
In his fire upon Senator Harding's
league statements Governor Cox de-
clared that his own had been and would
continue unchanged
"I ask you," he said, "whether you
have followed the vaccillating posi-
tons of the candidate of the SEN
atorial oligarchy. He made changes on
the front porch; then, when we took
him off the front porch and he arrived
in Des Moines, he said he was going
tc turn his back upon the league, with
or without reservations There came
a tempest all over the land and Re-
publicans that were for the league an
nounced their position and there in
tcntion of voting for me. When he
reached the front porch again yester-
day he changed again and said he was
for new association Of nations.
president Taft, who is attempting to
keep him steady, says that the new
ASSOCIATION of nations is not practical,
that it won't work; that it can't be
attained. Forty-one nations of .the
world have already joined the league.
1T is going concern and they will not
abandon it at the, mere wish and
caprice of group of Senators.
The threat Of Senator Borah, who
doubtless spoke for both himself and
Senator Johnson, brought the ulti
matum at Des Moines. The force of
the tempest Of resentment which has
swept the country since then was felt
at Marion. In consequence of this an
other change was made-the eleventh.. ("
