government, thus making ii possible to institute prompt

WoMANS NEW DUTY.

CARDINAL GIBBONS. head of the Roman
~ Catholic hierarchy in this country. is one OF the
really great Americans. He has always opposed wo-
man suffrage, as he frankly stated to the Baltimore
newspaper men yesterday, but it is clear from the
prompt and emphatic way in which he urges the Amer
lean women to take full advantage of the new right
that he had realized for a long time that it was inevlta-
Bile in this country, and he was prepared for IT, !,
The advice he gives is good for the women Of all
church affiliations. The elective franchise is not
merely a night; It is a duty and one which they should
fulfill intelligently.
The women who have been leading in church aetiV-
tiles, in the fratemal organizations and the CIVIC bodies
should now try to be leaders in organizations tor
political affairs as well. The better trained they are;
the more qualified for constructive leadership during
the first years Of full equal suffrage. the more they
should feel the obligation to throw themselves into
politics.
One of the ltock objections to equal suffrage was
that The polling places and political meetings were no
places for refined women. That objection has been
raised to slow up every advance woman ever made.
But there is nothing 10 it. There never was much to
Il, but in public affairs the women have the matter
absolutely in their hands. If conditions not to their
liking grow up they can soon find out who is resPon-
sible and their ballots are all they need TO use to elm
mate the Objectionable practices.
After this year women will be on. an absolute equal
ltV with men IN all inc parry OlSahEohSh' ASI
do moi like the kind Of stale, county, district and pre-
cinct leaders their party has been having they can BY
combining drive these men out Of politics and put
better, more enlightened men in their stead. It IS the
hope of this newspaper that in many instances that
very thing will happen in both Republican and Demo-
cratic parties. The gravest menace TO our political
institutions is moi hat our politics is d dishonest, but that
our politicians in a distrcssngly large number OF IN
stances are stupid. At bottom our politics is no more
dishonest than ordinary business, but the boneheaded-
ness Of the average politician is enough to provoke the
sardonic mirth Of the gods.
The women can clean that up. They can make
our politics alert and responsive to the public conscience
and put politicians of average intelligence and common
honesty in charge of the party machinery if they want
to. Ii is the hope Of The West Vir[ginIan that they
will not only want to, but that they will take the trouble
10 see to ii that it is done. This is highly important
work and there is no woman in The land whose social
position or intellectual qualifications puts her above
taking part in it.

Senator Harding is to make several speaking tours
between this and election day. but not more than
one speech in each state, according to an announce
ment which was made yesterday at Republican
Headquarters in New York. The possibility that
this would have to be done was anticipated at the
beginning Of the campaign and the decision to do It
is in no sense a change Of campaign plans: A great

lowers the dignity Of the high office 70" the candt-
date 10 go on a transforming trlp, but at the same
time the American people like TO see the man they
intend to vote for. The plan of a series OF speeches.

make it possible for them to see Harding, and it
ought 10 satisfy every one except the Democrats.

Crop reports for this state indicate that West Vir-
ginia will have more potatoes this year than last
year, and that the corn crop win be In excess OF
$4,000, 900 bushels. which is very gratifying in spite
OF the fact that it is 2,OOO, 900 bushels less than
last year. The corn yield not only In this state but
all over the country this year is rather amazing
The farmers, especially the farmers in the corn belt,
say that it takes hot nights to make corn. The sum-
mer has been unusually free from hot nights and
corn was late in getting a start, yet the crop is going
to be a bumper one.

prosecutions will be started. No wonder prohteer-

sey, member of the National Sena-

the printing and circulation of thou
sands OF circulars concerning Senator
Harding's lineage, involving an expen-
dlture of thousands of dollars, is prop
erly matter Of inquiry by the Ken
Won Senate Committee. There is q
demand from all sides that there shall
be made a rigorous investigation of
the defamatory campaign.
The National Committee was in
formed yesterday by Ohio Republicans
tat there are on file at Wooster and
other POINTS in Ohio, copies of tele-
grams of inquiry sent to Professor
Chancellor, whose connection with the

the restless soul Of the New York

at the Biltmore to an audience of
several hundred men who were mostly
fortified behind white shirt fronts and
the rest of the evening dress effect.
1t isn't every night that boxing bouts
are held at the Biltmore, but this was
a spcclal occasion to advertise the good
work that is being done in the habitats
Of the gangsters by Mr.. Alpheus Geer,

Mr.. Geer writes for magazines and

Circulars Not on Cox
Train, Durbin Declares
Democratic Chairman Insists
Party Had No Share in An
ccSsrv S[UaHcr COrSDirucs.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. 1.-Chair-
man W. W. Durbin, Of the Ohio Demo-
cratic State Executive Committee, to-
day issued a statement denying that
"a young man closely connected with
the Democratic state committee" had
brought certain printed and mimeo-
graphed circulars concerning the an
cestry of Senator Harding to Governor
CoX's special train, as contained in a
statement issued last night by Scott
c. Gone, director of publicity for the
Republican National Committee. Chair
man Durbin said:
This hue and cry being raised in
the eleventh hour of campaign is
merely conspiracy OF Republican poll
ticlans to blind the voters to the real
issues and attempt to stem the tre-
mendous tide that is flowing to Cox
and the League of Nations.
"The fight made by the Democratic
state and county committees in Ohio
has been clean, fair and above board
This, too, in spite of the fact that the
opposition has stopped to the foulest
lowest tactics.
II repeat that we had no connection
with the alleged circulation of pamph
lets or reports. Furthermore, | sub
nit that reports Of similar nature
nave peeh current Tor thirty years, that
they have figured in previous cam
paigns of Senator Harding and that
they were prevalent all over the state
and nation during the preconvention
campaign. circulated by Republicans
who opposed him. Now, however, when
such reports have been prevalent all
during the campaign, and were also in
circulation at the convention that
nominated him. Republicans attempt to
bring last minute cry against Demo
Gratis.
I'VE regret its entrance. We have
not had anything to do with its trans
mission and we are sure that the use
Of it in the last hour will not swervo
the voters from the overwhelming
swing to Cox on the main issues."
