Local Republicans of the faction which appears TO have

that his party will back the movement for suffrage here
WILLIAM r. GALLIHER, high-class leader of his
party makes the suffrage question the chief for Wash

from the District the national Republican convention will
go there prepared fight for great principle and to cast
their votes only those candidates of the party who will
support this principle.
District people tired of party promises in convention
platforms They have amounted to little The two parties
in their last platform, promised LIVING WAGE to Gov

Federal employ.
So it night be just well to watch out for party prom

The local Democratic factions have this question
before hem and it will be interesting to observe whether
they rise to the occasion whether their rush to ndoe
candidates will blanket suffrage and put personalities ahead
of issues.
The hearts of District people set control of their

To the Editor of The Times:

To the Editor of The Times:
worked for some time with the
Rcd Cross graves registration office
here and had the opportunity to see
about 200 pictures OF burial, ant re
burials in the different cemeteries in
France. A great many OF these buri-
ais had to be made under fire, in
shell-torn and rain-soaked ground,
while hand-clapping undertakers sat
behind closed curtains, smiling grim
ly at future prospects.
] also saw a copy OF the undertAk-
ers, official magazine, in which ap-
peared an article addressed to all OF
the profession asking them in plain
words: "What are you doing to help
bring back the boys who died In ac-
tion?"
II the mother OF any of those boys
who paid the supreme sacrifice could
read that degrading article and could
learn the true situation as it exists
in the cemeteries lover there" she
would insist that her boy be kept
where he now lies until second Ar
lington Cemetery can be established
on French soil. where they may all
be honorably laid to rest with fitting
ceremonies.
The isolated and small cemeteries
have been concentrated into large,
well-kept cemeteries, and II would be
q sacrilege to hand over several
thousands of dollars to the cultures"
who have no wings and never will
have AN EX-SOLDIER.

EAR MISS FAIRFAX:

- am going with young
- man who is bright. ambitious
and well informed on topics Of the
day. He seems to have had a fair
education, yet in his speech he
continually makes such errors as
81 seen" and You was" etc. Now,
don't you think such little things
often keep a man back in business
life as we'll as in social life?
I'd hate to give him up just for
this, yet / don't wish to have a
friend whom I'd be ashamed of on
any occasion. Won't you please
advise me? would appreciate
your opinion very much.
A DOUBTFUL GIRL
Incorrect speech when it comes
from lack of opportunity and
education can only be pathetic,
but when it comes only from care
lessness, it is unforgivable. Nicely
of speech has much more than
lust itself to recommend 1t. 1t
usually means a we'll ordered and
thoughtful mind. The Opposite
indicates a slipshod way OF think
ing that is an abomination. Even
a person denied advantages in
early life can master the minor
faults OF speech with a little APP
plication and study. Any way you
look at 1t, there Is little excuse
for the errors you mention. There
is nothing worse in the world than
for a woman to be obliged to be
apologetic about her man. How
ever, since he has the other quail
ties YOU describe, why not en-
deavor to improve his speaking
English. Such an effort must be
made with care, however.
I remember hearing OF an inter-
esting experiment at a boys prep
school. One Of the boys had
atrocious table manners, but he
was such a thoroughly genuine lad
that not even the head master
could correct him. Finally the
plan was hit upon TO have one of
the boys whose manners were i'm
peccable make identically the
same errors, for which the head
master reproved him. The first
lad was quick to note the correc-
tons and quickly took advantage
Of them, never dreaming that the
whole performance had been
staged for his benefit He had
been able to benefit without hav-
ing his feelings hurt.
You might try a similar plan
make an error In speaking and
then quickly correct yourself. You
may soon be amused to find him
correcting you. You might also
develop an interest in the study OF
grammer and rhetoric and induce
him to Join in the study with you.
There's always more than one
way to kill a cat, you know, and
this young man seems to be worth
bringing up.
