Franco-American friendship.
We never expected to find the French

against materialism and anarchy" says
Supreme Knight Flaherty In his eulogy
Of the nation, which he terms The
eternal friend Of our republic, the United
States"
I'VE have been profoundly touched
by the affection shown US by the French
episcopate and fellow Catholics, but We
will never forget the impressive unanlni-
ity with which the n-Cathollcs have
endeavored to prove their amity. We
will find pleasure In telling our brothers
in the United States and Canada that
the France OF Marquette and Champlain,

tlon with the sole aim OF consolidating
world peace and assuring the triumph OF

There is considerable dissatisfaction

WHERE WILL THE VOTES OF
WOMEN COP
Senator Brandegeo's Tribute to the
Newly Enfranchlsed Citizens.
From the Boston EpeninO Transcript

From the Boston Euenin0 Transcript
BY far the finest tribute to the new
voters OF the nation that we have seen
since Tennessee completed their enfran-
chlsement came from Senator Frank b.
Brandegee OF Connecticut. His words
ring with the courage and tho sincerity
that distinguish a statesman from a vote
beggar and n Senator In fact from a
Senatorial chair warmer, AS soon as he
heard the news from Tennessee the
senior Senator from Connecticut, reply
ing to an inquiry from the Hartford
Courdnt, said:
Both political parties have been playing
game in tho attempt to catch the
woman vote. In my opinion they Will
both be fooled. The women will vote ex-
aetly as they please on the great Issues
before the country, as they ought to-
They will align themselves between tho
parties according to their convictions,
and tho artful politicians who have been
angling for their votes will be disap-
pointed,
Women are apt to be much better
judges of men than men are Of one an
other. Judging men is one of the most
important tasks associated with the ex-
ercise Of sovereignty. What a candidate
for office says is much more important
than how he says 1t or where. 1t is the
courage to speak with sincerity and
truth his honest convictions that counts
most among the voters, be they men or
women, who are striving to support the
candidate for President, Senator, Con-
gressman or State or county office who
will best serve not the selfish desires of
individual constituents but the unselfish
aspirations for the common veal.
II Senator Brandegee were candidate
for reelection to the Senate from Massa-
chusetts the tribute paid by him to the
intelligence of women voters would win
him the support of many thousands of
men and women who talk straight and
think straight and rally to the leader
who does likewise. Massachusetts, and
Connecticut are near neighbors and the
rank and file of their people cherish the
same ideals and value the same traits of
character In the chosen leaders Of their
public life. So It is not surprising to
hear that Senator Brandegee will be re-
nominated without opposition. And OF
course that forecasts his reelection,

GOOD OLD RAILROAD DAYS.
A TIme Whom There Were No Strikes
and Conductors Wore Diamonds.

To THE SUN AND NEW York HERALD !:
The letter OF George p. jennings re-
ferring to the rates Of fare for clergy
men on the railroads brings to my mind
flood OF recollections concerning early
railroad days, when the railroad boys
were as one large family.
II was brotherhood In reality. There
were no strikes and every one worked
for the railroad as though he owned It
The president called the men his boys,
and they could go to him as freely as a
boy could 60 to his father.
From 1869 to 1875 I was employed on
the old South Side Railroad OF Long ISL
and In various Jobs from driving stakes,
dragging chain and taking levels with
the railroad surveyors to having charge
OF the freight and ticket office at the
Roosevelt street ferry at James slip,
New York. I knew every man on the
road.
Many things that happened in those
old days seem strange now, but then they
were commonplace, Mr.. Jennings COM
plains Of clergymen riding for half fare,
the same as children. As matter OF
fact any man who buttoned his collar
behind rode for half fare then. More
over, any man who sent fve tons OF
freight year over the road insisted
that he should ride free. This was per-
mitted for the reason that the old mer-
chants on tho south side Of Long Island
could send all their heavy freight by
sloop or schooner before Ice closed tho
bays Therefore they were catered to.
OF course the families Of employees al
ways rode free.
Conductors In those good old days
were without check or hindrance. Some
OF them wore very expensive clothes and
expensive jewelry. knew one conductor
who carried a punch set with a diamond
and another flashing from his hand.
He hardly needed a gold plated lantern
to aid him in collecting tickets as he
walked through the cars. Many men
bought no tickets as they are now
obliged to do. They preferred to pay
the cash to the conductor. recall an
incident on the old South Side Railroad
when the board OF directors voted TO em-
ploy Pinkerton men to watch the con-
ductors. The president, a fatherly old
man who loved his hoys, told one popular
conductor to look out and not get caught,
as they had put Pinkerton men on the
road.
|. Those we're the real old railroad days.
I used to know lawyer, now dead, who
always wore a silk<hat and white bow
tie. When asked why he sported such
things he replied that when he came
out on the old South Side road he wanted
to make himself look as much like
clergyman as possible 30 he could ride
at half fare along with clergymen and
children.
Perhaps It Is needless to say that the
old South Side Railroad went into the
hands Of a receiver.

LIoUIDATORS COMPLAIN.
Custom House Experts Think Their
Special knowledge Unappreclated.

Special knowledge Unappreciated.
To THE SUN AND NEW YORK HERALD /:
The Custom House liquidator is the man
who ascertalns the amounts Of duties on
imported merchandise, and Is therefore
practically the collector Of the second
largest item of Government revenue,
He Is a special type sometimes college
bred, always mathematician, His
work. the hardest In all the departments
OF the national service, Is nerve racking
and brain tagging tedious and painfully
monotonous requiring patience, endur-
ance and unremitting application. So
peculiar and so arduous is the work that
Of all who ever attempted 1t over so per
cent failed to make good.
There used to be four grades Of liqul-
dators A number Of new llquidators
have been recently appointed. These
men, now inexperienced, get the same
pay as men who have spent years at the
business and who have become expert on
tariff rates and tariff laws and short
methods of calculating and Treasury
decisions. The new men have lot to
learn before they can give the service Of
the older men.
What would be said Of a labor union
that demanded the same pay for an APP
prentice as for a journeyman? Yet that
is exactly what is done by the personnel
committee of the New York Custom
House with respect to llquldators. l APP
preciate the difficulties the personnel
committee had to face, but believe the
members did not rise to their opportuni-
ties in this matter. There is no ques-
ton about their intention to be fair but
good intentions butter parsnips no better
than good words, and liquidators who
feel that they have been Disseminated
against and who know they are UNDER
paid cannot give the close attention to
their work that by its very nature It
requires and they cannot refrain from
agitating their grievance during working
hours and at other times when opportu-
nifty offers. A LIoUIDAToR.

Hospital Reports Show the Growth
OF the Booze Graft.

The Commissioner of Public Wei
fare, Mr.. COLER, reports that August
has been the most alcoholic month Of
this year. His verdict is based on
the jimjam reports from the city
hospitals.
The increase in delrium tremens
and allied ailments is not to be Won
dered at, Large quantities of whis-
key and other fiery spirits are still
extant. SO is an appetite for the
stuff. The Eighteenth Amendment
has not soaked into everybody.
Where there's will there's a way.
The hospitals ran with light sup
plies of bromides earlier In the year
because the bootIegging industry was
not yet on It's feet. Now, evidently,
1t is no longer creeping infant.
We can see a ray of hope for Com
missioner CoLER and others who
grieve over mans weakness The
more the alcoholic cases. the greater
the consumption; and eventually the
disappearance Of all the old stock.
Then there will be no contraband
liquor except what is made in Illicit
stills or smuggled in.
Meanwhile the addicts see the cerlse
anaconda and the law abiding public
watches with mingled aversion and
contempt the incidents which spot the
surface of the greatest internal scan
dal-the booze graft-that has marked
national politics In more than a
generation.

As to "WIggllng and Wabbling''
at Marion.

Our neighbOr the World discovers
in Senator HARDING's address of Sat

subject of the League Of Nations.

directness Of the Senator's declara.

said he is in favor Of going in on

am not. That Is the whole differ
ence between us"
We have copy Of the Marion Daily
Star dated August %, 1919. That
was the time when the supporters of
the Wilson covenant were threatening
the Republicans and the non-League
Democrats In the Senate with the re-
convenlng of the entire Peace Confer
ence, with the resumption of diplo-
matte negotiations all around, and
with the indefinite prolongation Of the
war status unless the Senate acquI-
esced to an iota IN the autocratic de-
mands of the President.
It is interesting and instructive to
observe what Senator HARDINo's news
paper thought and said of that bug
aboo. We quote from the editorial
utterance Of more than year ago:
There is no doubt that Germany,
after signing the original treaty with
the Allies, would also indorse the
treaty with the United States after It
had been changed by the Senate.
Such amendments as the Senate might
make In the document would not be
considered Of any importance to Ger
many"
We know how true that was This
remarkable editorial article in the
Etor, which appears to have been
written by Senator HARDING himself
when there was much confusion Of
thought in his own party, continued
as follows:
''But suppose Germany should re-
ject the altered treaty, then the
whole thing could be thrown into
the discard and the state Of war
speedily terminated by Joint resolu-
tlon Of Congress declaring that the
objects for which we went to war had
been attained. Or a new treaty
between the United States and
Germany might be drawn up, elimi-
mating practically all Of the treaty in
It's present form, with most of the
business Of which America has no
possible concern"
The editorial article In Mr.. HAR
D1NG's Star then recited the historic
and actual purposes Of our declara'
ton Of war against Germany; adding
that "all the other so-called issues o.
the war, evolved from time to time In
the brain Of Mr.. WILSON to fit into hi
scheme for the reformation of the
world, have no basis in history oil
fact and should find no place in q
treaty between Germany and u.s.
Then we come to the concluding
paragraph:
II The Senate Is not going to be
scared into acquiescence In the peace
treaty by the threat that war will
be interminably prolonged otherwise.

Senator Pollock Working for Suffrage

Columbia. Jan. 22.-One of the
liveiiest lobbyists for the Susan B. An
thony suffrage amendment at the pres
ent session of the general assembly is
Former United States Senator Pol
lock. of Cheraw. Mr.. Pollock is work
ing with the suffrage leaders for votes
on the ratification resolution. His ar
gument is that the amendment will
simply put the white women of the
land on an equal footing with the
white men and that there will be no
more problem with negro women
than there now is with regard to ne
gro men.
I Speaker Cotfran brought hearty
laugh to the house Wednesday after
noon when he called attention to the
fact that typographical error in the
suffrage rejection resolution had used
! the spelling suffrage" He said that
no doubt the present outlook for the
ratification resolution was causing
! them ladies to suffer.
