WOMEN IN POLITICS.

Time was when reports of the pro
ceedings Of a meeting of women or
ganized for suffrage would have filled
column after column in the newspa
pers. A good proof that the new order
of things brought about by the success
of their agitation has met with ac-
ceptance and has fitted smoothly into
the body polite is furnished by the
fact that the convention of the Laegue
of Women Voters has been assembled
at Cleveland for the last few days With
out attracting any unusual amount Of
public attention. Outside of Mrs. Cats
irnpassioned extemporaneous appeal for
the cessation of wars. there was moth
ing particularly spectacular about the
proceedings But if there was little dis
play. the solid work accomplished is an
earnest of the increasingly important
part which women are destined to play
in the political arena. The program for
192l-1922 was adopted with the mini
mum of debate, and the participants in
the convention buckled down % the
securing of results.
A deputation was appointed to wait
| on President Harding for the tw0fold
purpose OF thanking him for recon-
mending the maternity and infancy bill
! in his first message to Congress and OF
| urging him to take the necessary steps
! leading 10 reduetion of ornaments by
| the great powers. The debate staged
between former Senator Albert j. Bever-
idge, of Indiana. and Job r. Hedges. OF

A MUNICIPAL GOLF COURSE.

A mass meeting Of persons interested
i'm the proposed municipal golf course
will be held tonight at the Hotel du
Pont. and plans for the consumma-
ton Of the idea will be made public
and discussed.
This is one municipal activity which
deserves the support not only Of indi-
viduaI citizens but Of the city govern
mont also. our boys and girls have
been provided with excellent play
grounds. but there is little opportunity
for mature folk to engage in outdoor
exercise.
No argument In favor OF golf as
health builder and a health conserver is
needed: the benefits derived from play
ing tho game are admitted by all, But
the mass Of wnmingtcnians who are
even vaguely interested in the game
have no opportunity 20 play IL
True. there is the Country club and
the du Font Club. But the former has
waiting list which moves into club
election very slowly: and Of course the
du FONT club limits its memberahip to
those persons working for, or allied
with the du Pont organisation.
The average man or woman who Is
not a du Pont employe. and who can
not afford TO join the other club. IS
without means OF gratifying his golHng
desire. This desire should be fulslled
by the city. in the interest of giving
| recreation 20 its matured citizens. il
| for no other reason.
This is not radical step. nor in the
/ true sense of the word is 1t paternalistic.
| Many other cities. some smaller and
/ some larger than Wilmington, main
tain their municipal links. to which
all have access. Wilmington will not
step into the "bolshevist" class. as one
crouch remarked. by providing such a
course,
one public spirited citizen has offereC
to give $4,000 toward the construction
OF the links. Others will also con
tribute to the cause Cannot the cip

several tracts Of land which we believ,

TEDDY. JR-

Every one knows Of the handicaps
which the sons of distinguished men
labor under when they attempt to
make names for themselves in the world
No matter what they do. or how they
speak, invidious comparisons cannot
be avoided. His father wasn't that
way" is a favorite comment which
meets every effort which the aspirant
makes toward fame.
Now comes young Theodore Roose-
welt, Jr., who is wearing his fathers
shoes as Assistant Secretary of the
Navy. The real Teddy was noted for his
peculiar ability to hit the nail on the
head and drive it home with pictur-
esque phrases which amused the coun-
try. Teddy Jr.,--a nice, affable young
chap-is trying the same tricks. but
somehow his words do not ring with the
spirit in which the older man invested
his terms.
We remember "the big stick" and
"mollycoddles." and race suicide" and
muck rakers, terms which stirred
his hearers. But when the son speaks
as he did in Cuba Friday. saying The
Navy should be made Of men who are
not 'softies' nor little Lord F'auntIe-
| roys,' but real men who desire to bC
treated as men," he neither adds pic
turesqueness to his thoughts. nol
/ punch" to his meaning.
The thought behind that phrase il
excellent, though trite. But it is com.
pletely spoiled by the effort, conscious
or unconscious, to initiate his distin
guished father. Somehow. the wore
"softies" falls fiat and stale on the ear
just as near-beer is fiat and tasteles
to the man accustomed to the origina
article.
If Col Roosevelt had made a straight
forward statement, without the use o
any peculiar phraseology which calle
for comparison with the old Teddy, h

OUR RIGHT RESERVED.

The reply of Premier BRAND 70 the
note Of Secretary Hughes regarding our
rights in Yap supports the American

no specific reservations were made in
May, 1919. At former meeting both
President Wilson and Secretary Lansing
registered categorical reservations in

It is probable that European dplo-

Otherwise the inference would be very

vantage Of our ohsence, an admission
