PortIand's Peculiar Conditions
Portland Press J


Following the action of the Tennes-
see Legislature, the next step will be
the issuing of the proclamation by
the secretary of State stating that
the amendment has become a part of
the Constitution.
1t happens to be of peculiar inter-
est to the women of Portland that
this proclamation should be issued
within the, present week, for if it is,
they will be the first of their sex in
the country. to exercise their rights
under the new provisions.
This is due to the fact that on
Thursday next there is to be a special
election to choose a member of the
board of trustees of the Portland
Water District. The law provides
that for the purposes of this cleo
ton there must be special session
of the board of registration which
will be held. as has already been an
nounced. next Monday and Tuesday.
Anticipating favorable action by
the Tennessee lawmakers. arrange
ments have already been made for
the registration of as many women
fObSIo sto poSoiDlS tllOSe IWO Jays.
Special clerks will be employed and
1t is believed that it will be possible
to enroll about 1000 voters at this
time.
But by reason of another provision
Of the State law, this special session
of the board of registration has a
more important bearing than the
mere question of the participation of
the women in. the election of a wa
ter district trustee.
This is a section of the revised
statutes which provides that in cities
of population of 10000 or over, vot-
ers must be regularly enrolled by the
board of registration before they can
participate in any election. The law
was made especially for Portland,
but it is unfortunate that on account
of it the women of Portland would,
alone of all their sex in the State, be
unable to participate in the election
in September, as the law now stands.
The special session of the registration
board will enable at least a part Of
the women of Portland to register
and vote in September.

When Governor Cox says, as he did
Wednesday, that woman suffrage will
save the world he goes a long way
farther than most of the suffragists
themselves do. There may have been
and perhaps still are, women who
think the vote in their hands is a key
to the millennium. but no woman and
no man who really does think, has
any such illusions. Governor Cox is
manifesting general tendency to
indulge in bromides and platitudinous
twaddle which may get by in the
Dayton News but will not deceive the
sensible people of the country as a
whole. The Kennebec Journal has
been firm believer in the right of
woman to vote and has been very
glad to congratulate woman upon her
attainment of her objective, but it
never has had any idea that women's
votes would redeem the universe.

Farmers, Facts and Factors.

The largely attended and interest
ing meeting of the Grange and Farm
Bureau this week afforded conclusive
evidence that the farmers of This
county have fully decided to be a
more active and influential factor
than heretofore: to cooperate, to in
form themselves of markets and con-
ditions, to assume the fixing of the
prices on what they produce. They
see every other factor in production
doing that and naturally conclude it
is necessary for them. To accomplish
this farmers must cooperate, must
keep informed of crop conditions with
which they come into competition,
with conditions existing in the mar
kets, must be able to meet demands.
must employ common sense and re-
straint and should recognize that fair
ness in any well established business
such as is agriculture is a matter of
good business.
Keeping informed will be a never
ending effort. What affects agricuI-
ture has many and wide ramifica-
lions, illustration of which is seen in
what is being done through the Illi-
hois Agricultural Association in get
ting at the facts behind the serious
car shortage. In the words of the
street it would seem that their IN
vestigation had started something.
Members of the association made
daily records of the car initials and
numbers Of all cars at 494 stations To-
Gated in 46 different counties for
seven consecutive days." the state
farm bureau executive said "Of
these 4S4 stations, 146 or 29.5 percent
reported some of the same cars on
tracks the last day of the count as
were on the tracks the first day of the
count.
AT all stations, 1924 cars were list
ed the first day and of these cars, 93s
out Of 1924 cars had not been moved
from the country point for seven con-
secutive days. This is just a little
over 10 percent of the cars at such
points.
NO count was made in Chicago.
In several other large yards the as
soclatlon enumerators were elected
from the yards by railroad officials"
From this survey a grave suspicion
arises that there is more or less
"camoufage" respecting the alleged
shortage. 1t is to be hoped this in
Vestlsatlon may be made thorough
ana conclusive and the blame fixed.
Ihe farmers owe it to the country as
well as to themselves to accomplish
Inns. but in all fairness they have a
right to expect assistance.

in holding off the. bolshevist attack on
Warsaw but they have even advanced
to the east and taken the town OF
Novominsk, few miles east Of the
capital. Thus Warsaw is for the mo-
ment relieved and time is afforded
for the accumulation of materials and
equipment for the Polish defenders.
Because of the more favorable posi-
ton in which Poland has placed her
self, she may insist on making terms
of her own al the Minsk negotiations.
Poland is fighting for her very ex-
istence, but she is also fighting the
battle of the rest of US against the
advance of the Russian radicalism.
She asked some time ago for at least
tho moral support of the Allied ma
tons which fought the war with Ger
many. The recent note sent by the
United States to Italy regarding the
situation in eastern Europe assured
Poland of moral backing insofar as it
denounced the bolsheviki and their
works and promised to help with "all
available means" In general the note
has found favor both in the United
States and in Poland, even though it
is tardy in delivery and indefinite in
parts Of it's expression. France has
gone much farther, in recognizing
General Wrangel, the Russian anti
bolshevist leader. in strongly oe-
nouncing the bolsheviki and in ac-
tually sending one of her own gen.
erals to Poland to give the Polish
commanders the advice of his sea-
soned experience in the science Of
military strategy. Britain was for
some time rather disposed to treat
with the soviet leaders, but the wal
lop which Lloyd George has given
the laborites by declaring that any at
tempt of theirs to dictate the policy
of the government strikes at the con-
sututional traditions of the British
government, has served to put Brit
ain in a better light in Poland.
Every hour that Poland keeps the
line of Reds from her capital is pre-
cious to her. Her home defenses are
being strengthened and her supplies
are being replenishd. So much, so
that Trotzky has issued a call for vol
unteers. t'.s.-
