Business needs to step on the self-starte
Why Oppose the Inevitable.

A FTER an initial gift OF $sI,soo Mrs. o. H. T.
~ Belmont has made the total $I46,ooo to en-
able the National Woman's party to complete the
purchase of their national headquarters here in
Washington. These comprise three buildings over
looking the Capitol grounds, OF which was the
temporary meeting place of Congress after the
British destroyed the old Capitol in 1912. Very
appropriately the women have made Mrs. Belmont
president of their organization.
The present objectives of the party are to gain
the political, civil and legal equality OF women
with men, Having granted them the vote, there is
no possible for denying any Of the rest.
Denial, also, is foolish they now equipped by
the vote to gain these other privileges and will do
so. Certainly a woman who is voter, should be
allowed to hold any office for which she can vote
If she is fit to vote, she is fit to hold any public
position to which other voters will elect her 1t is
equally inconsistent to try to keep her from jury
service full property rights.
The vote implies and will inevitably secure full
political equality. Having been granted the vote
all the rest must follow. Every privilege a man
has, a woman will have whether not she exer-
cises them, is for her to choose. Nature made
physical distinctions and largely because Of these
there are psychic distinctions quite as indeble
But these do not affect political nor economic
ability, rights privileges They extend only to
social distinctions, differences and as to these

Two Island Empires.

III APAN has often been hkened to Germany IN
her attitude toward the rest of the world, her
spirit of international contact and the aggres-
siveness of her ambitions This is all true, but
nomically she is like Great Britain. Both island
empires overcrowded in the homelands with in
-austrial populations unable to provide food for
themselves and lacking materials for manufac-
ture. They are about equal in population in pro-
portion to area.
!. But Japan came upon the about century
late share in the earth's division. 1t is now
seventy years since she opened her ports to trade
and decided to be part Of the world. Great Brit
ain, almost century before, had acquired India,
Australia and Canada and had entered South Africa
II is peculiar thing that Great Britain and Japan
are the only island empires and that their lines of
development and economic needs nearly
identical But Japan, seeking to expand. as Great
Britain has done, found all doors closed to her
and compelled to force them open, if she would
both enter and possess.
i Germany, without the need, found much
the condition when she sought expansion, and
while Japan parallel to Great Britain in geog-
raphy and needs, she parallels Germany once more
in her methods colonization psychology and in her
attitude toward those whom she has sought
to rule. Mtarsm has controlled and the mill
tarist method has prevailed. Her system that
of conquest of military development and harshness
She conceded rights to those not Japanese She
has exploited resources, but has not developed
peoples.
Wherever she has extended her sway, it has
built up only bitter hostility. Yet Japan must have
just what Great Britain must have-abundant food
supplies and materials in peace and war. To
assure these Great Britain has always relied upon
her navy. What natural than that Japan
should follow this example? What is natural
than their alliance located they opposite
sides OF the world Great Britain with vast interests
on the Japanese side, and Japan fearing German
and Russian encroachments from the west? Both
of these also the rivals and antagonists OF the
British.
!. The war has changed this situation Neither is
now dependent upon the other. Germany and Rus
sa have disappeared a menace to any in war.
There is opportunity for combna-
ton basis. But this must to the
British and Japanese, under all any conditions,
what is known freedom of the seas" They
will not jeopardize their food and material
supplies. Great Britain get these from her
own dominions If the held open. Japan
get them just readily, though not by prefer
ence, under like process of exchange, if she too is
assured of free ships Is the United States ready
to join in disarmament the basis OF such joint
guaranty?

U6litarian Education.

TINE enrolment at American colleges was never
so great as this fall The college populations
will be larger than in any prior year. This, too, is in
a year Of great financial depression and with almost
a peakload of unemployment. There are number
of reasons for this all of them interreated to the
new utilitarianism OF the colleges in education.
Employers, from the government to factories
and wholesalers seek in their questionnaires
to applicants for positions information educa-
tional training. They require that this shall have
been in preparation for the position sought They
want specialists and the colleges offer courses
in so many speciaties that the tendency is to mar
row education to hair lines Moreover how much
of this specializing according to rule and theory in
creases employees practical value is questionable,
while it unhappily narrows the student to his
course and rather units him for anything else than
the single kind of work. He must have position
in his speciality, he is aAoat. and has advan-
tage from his college work.
Employers who never saw the outside of a
college in their YOUTH demanding this special
preparation which they did not have. Frequently
they do not know what it is, nor how it especially
qualities young man for actual service. But it is
the hallmark. More and more, then, every business
and profession to specialization; young people
know it, colleges offer the courses, and hence
their growth in population.
Whether this is good or bad time will tell. We
believe is bad in that it tends narrowness both
mentally and in opportunity. Grounded in the prin-
cipes of broader field trained in the fundamentals
of engineering. science, law or other field which
formerly formed in itself speciality, the young man
could choose his minute speciality on the
work. He then would have a background. He
would have learned to think, and to apply prin-
ciples. He would not be mere text book on one
subject and if he had real brains more than one
eonvolution could develop and all be mustered to
help each other.
Specializing in college lessons breadth of view
grasp of all the elements of a problem, initiative
and that most valuable of the mental powers, the
ability to correlate information, experience, prn-
ciples and all that is known knowledge. II
enormously increases the cost of college mainten-
