WoMEN'S VOTES: A MYSTERY

T IFE is being made harder and harder
IL for the generals and admirals of the
two big political parties by the news that
comes from successive conventions of
women voters. Do the grizzled veterans
of past campaigns moan and cover their
eyes, and are they learning anew the
habit of prayer? If they are not doing
these things it is because they have not
yet measured the full significance Of
feminine tendencies in the realm of poll
tics.
It was generally supposed for exam
pie, that the first national convention of
women voters recently held at Chicago
would be a vast pink tea. 1t wasn't. That
convention was notable for really gal
liant approach to living issues in econom-
les and politics, for incisive debate and
for what might be called the organized
snub of regular party leaders.
Even more ominous Is the news from
New York, where the Democratic women
have just closed what will be remembered
as a most extraordinary convention. Daz-
zling tactics, a mastery of the parla-
mentary game, plots and counter-plots,
log-rolling and a merciless use of the
steam roller are reflected in the chronicle
sent from Albany by awed correspond
ents. The convention was packed 1t
was packed by the independents, who
upset their party leaders plans and
almost got knife into the Tammany or
ganization.
Miss Elizabeth Marbury-Miss Eliza
beth herself-was the Tammany candi-
date for the Office of delegate-at-large to
the national convention. She just man
aged to escape with her political life.
Gradually party leaders are finding out
that the feminine voter is to be classed
among the imponderables of the New
World. 1t is no wonder that an effort is
being made temporarily to sidetrack the
women's vote. An ordinary politician
cannot understand it and he cannot tell in
advance what it may do.
The question now is whether women
with the franchise will follow the regu.
larly ordained party leaders or listen ia
the voice of the leaders in their own new.

formed organization. It was assumed
that the woman voter would continue,
even in politics, to carry the slippers for
the lord of creation and hearken to MS
counsel or his commands Lately it has
been apparent that such a surnlise was
not altogether justified. The women VINO
have been leading feminine opinion talk
like determined insurgents. They are
new cause for concern in both big parties.
So, though ratification in four more
states will make equal suffrage general,
it should surprise no one If action in
these states is delayed by one method or
another to keep large element of the
potential feminine vote out of the presi-
Dental election.
Oklahoma has already declared for
suffrage. The governor of Washington
has announced his readiness to call Spc-
cial session for ratification If this action
is necessary. The support of three more
states would still be required. Connecticut,
Vermont, Delaware, West Virginia, Vir-
gina and New Mexico have not yet acted
on the question of ratification. Their
Legislatures, except in West Virginia,
are not in session. The governors might
be persuaded to call special sessions
and they might be persuaded not to call
special sessions. And there you are.

THE HlCH-coST BANDWAGoN

THERE was time during the war
= when potatoes were among the unat-
tainabe things of this life. Farmers and
truck gardeners held tons Of them back
from the markets and waited for soaring
prices to hit new high level. You were
told, as you may remember, that you
we're lucky to get rice and spaghetti with
the roast.
The potato hoarders lost money in the
end. But since they made enough to buy
motorcars it is a certainty that they will
be among the first to cry out bitterly at
the report that oil producers are holding
immeasurable quantities Of their product
in tanks and pipe lines to force gasoline
up cent or two a gallon in the spring.
Doubtless there were oil men who went
without potatoes at dinner. Oil men and
farmers are accustomed to have their say
like the rest of US about the high costs
of shoes, clothes and the like.
There is a serious question before the
house and it is this: Who will step in to
stop game in which everybody plays?
High general cost of all necessities is
due in part to money initiation, in part to
greed and in part to the desire of many
men to pass the burden of their income
taxes on to somebody else But there
really is a remedy for the affection.
Common sense, and even a temporary
cultivation of the virtue of self-restraint,
will make money go a great deal further
than it goes now in the average family.
Everybody knows that the margin of
extravaganza in the United States is
great even in normal times. 1t has been
said that an American family throws
away food that would suffice household
in France The French wife of a returned
American doughboy became hysterical
with worry when she saw her groceries
delivered every day from trig automo-
bile. She knew that the cost of the tires
and the gasoline and money for the up
keep of the motor and the chauffeur's
salary and his uniform came from her
pocket. Absentee marketing is one Of
the costliest habits of the moment and
one that makes life easy for profiteers.
Everywhere the demand is for the cost
liest food-not always for the best. Yet
meat that costs the most is not the most
nutritious and clothes that are most ex
pensive are not by any means the most
becoming.
Bills in almost every American house.
hold could be cut by careful shopping and
by an abandonment of the deluson that
the price of cut of meat is a fair indi-
cation of its food value. No one ever
died because of an inability to keep pace
with every lightning change in styles.
Self-co is what the country needs.
1t needs, too, revival of respect for
dimes and nickels which passed during
the war By such means no one will
altogether escape the profteer. But a
way is clear, nevertheless, to Illustrate
him often and to get by with less hard
ship. and to hurry the return of normal
| conditions.

A PROPER SCHOLARSHIP

THERE is scant probability of any va
cancies in the crew of the schoolship
Annapolis when she is ready for her
spring cruise to the West Indies. Nearly
hundred applications for this excellent
course in seamanship have already been
filed. In her United States navy days the
Annapolis seldom carried a crew of much
more than $50.
The commendable interest in this train
ing vessel, authorized as a nautical
school by the commonwealth, testifies
not only to an appreciation of Americas s
new role on the sea, but also to the judg-
ment displayed in assigning to this serv-
ice ship entirely suitable to its purpose.
The Saratoga was picturesque but
Anticipated. The principles of modern
seacraft and naval subjects can, how
ever, be practically taught on the An
napolis, which is well-equipped gun
boat, capable, in spite of her twenty
three years, of giving an excellent ac-
count of herself.
Her ALLEGATION here is partly the result
of the wisdom of the Pennsylvania Legis-
lature in appropriatng 100000 for the
maintenance of state schoolship and
partly consequence of the short-sight-
edness of California in failing to provide
a sufficient sum. The trig little Annap-
oils, which was towed all the way from
the Mare Island Navy Yard, is distinctly
our gain

WHAT RANSLEY DEPENDS ON

or COURSE, Harry RansIey, who
~ wishes to be the Ware candidate for
Congress in the Third district, is for light
wines and beers. He has to be in order to
be regular, for Congressman Ware set the
pace when he said that the Volstead law
ought to be amended so as to permit the
sale Of beverages with a small alcoholic
content.
This is the only controversial matter in
Mr.. RansIey's platform of three planks.
He favors tax reduction and so does
every one else. And he thinks there
should be a budget system to regulate
national expenditures. The leaders in
Congress are committed to the budget
system.
But, after all, Mr.. Ransley is not ex-
pecting to get the nomination by virtue
of his platform. 1t is put forth out of re-
Spect to political customs. He is depend
ing upon what is left Of Ware control in
the district to pull him through.

GETTING UNDER WAY

THE current week has given evidence
L that there is an earnest purpose in the
City Hall to carry out the program Of
improvements about which the people
have been thinking for long time.
This newspaper has been directing at
tention to eight of the most important.
Since Monday there have been confer
ences to consider the work on the bridge
across the Delaware, to study the rapid
transit situation, to ascertain the exact
status of the free library building project
and to bring about a cooperative COM
pany to buy the Hog Island terminal and
build drydock there 1000 feet long.
All these things can be put across if
the good work is kept up.

adapted to present-day conditions. Lon
don is soon to have a great new mart OF
this character.


Philadelphia can possess one, too, If
business energy, enthusiasm and vision
here are commensurate with the scale on
which this permanent exposition" must
be maintained in order to serve its pur-
pose.
Mr.. Wood, who is an engineer, spoke of
the favor of the Girard estate to this
project and the possibility of erecting
the building on half of the Chestnut
street block between Eleventh and
Twelfth streets, provided sufficient rent
ais were guaranteed. He also spoke in
terms of millions. This is the correct
language to use with regard to plan
affecting the progress of city contain
ing 16,50O industrial establishments.
The site. provided it is reasonably
central. is immaterial With due tinan-
cial backing suitable one can always be
found. The cruX Of the matter is the
industrial vitality of Philadelphia.
AS regards productivity, this is huge.
Something more, however, is an indis-
penSable factor to the current PROPOSE
ton. What is primarily needed is appre-
citation of the majestic force Of modern
business cooperation and a suppression
of the instinct to ervisage failure in new
ventures of large scope.

ROBINSON ADMITS 1T

SUPERINTENDENT ROBINSON, OH
~ the eve of his retirement from the
Police Department, says that the eff
cheney of the police has been hindered by
politics. There has been too much look
ing to people other than their superiors
for orders is the way he puts it,
Everybody has known this for long
time. 1t was one of the reasons for the
political overturn last fall But no police
department official has hitherto been so
bold as to admit the truth for publica-
ton.
The police bureau has been run as an
annex of a political machine and the po-
litical bosses were the real commanding
officers. Of course, the force was de-
moralized under such conditions.
If the men on the force can be con-
vinced that the real boss of the depart
ment sits at Director Cortelyou's desk,
and if those who ignore orders from head
quarters and obey commands from out
side forces are properly disciplined, we
shall have got something for the trouble
we took to vote Mayor Moore into Office.
