MORE THAN RIGHT"

7 IFE would really become hard for the
l. money makers in politics and corrupt
factions would find existence more and more
uncertain If any considerable number of
voters were to observe consistently the rule
of action suggested yesterday by Mrs. X. J.
Rolston, who presided at n meeting repre-
sentative of the independent women voters
of Philadelphia and Montgomery counties.
All women desire to do right, observed a
delegate. "Right?" cried the Chairwoman.
THAT isn't enough. To accomplish what
needs to be accomplished the women who
vote must be more than right
The difference here suggested is between
the positive and the negative virtues. 1t
suggests again the truth and tho inner mean
ings of the aphorism that once brought n
storm Of criticism on Colonel Roosevelt.
The man who is good and nothing else"
said the fighting President. lis of little use
in the world." Similarly it might be said
that the man who is content to vote right
and let it go at TINT will never be much Of
a force for political reform.
Political corruption has gone so far in this
state that Crusaders-pcOplr who nro able
and willing to be "more than right"--are
needed to contend with It, The independents
among women voters seem TO have realized
this. They are among the honorable mi
nOrity which isn't afraid to face a fact or
ashamed to go into open warfare with an
accepted condition. Will the mood last?
Will it survive the defeats and dsilusion-
mcnts that have made reform movements OF
the past fruitlcss and inconclusive?
1t was the opinion Of yesterdays meeting
Of the Independents that women should do
something definite to eliminate habits of law
losSn"sS in this city and to halt crimes Of
the sort ordinarily called violent. No method
for direct action is available to them. But
they can do a great deal in the long run BY
fighting the clQues Of pretontious political
leaders whose cynicism and furtive evasions
Of law have for years been dangerous Cx-

missions on work obtained through "the
exercise Of his influence at Washington Is
likely to inspire wonder rather than con
viCtion among the obscrvant.
Mr.. Nugcnt made himself famous by call
ing Mr.. Wilson an migrate and n liar. He
said even less kindly things about Tumulty,
and It is pretty we'll known in Washington
and at Trenton that Tumulty hates the big
boss from Newark quite as nrdcntly MS the
President hates Senator Lodge Yet we find
Tumulty blandly mentioned by Big jim as
one Of those whose help he obtained when he
went jOurnryirg to Washington in the in
tcrest Of some of his friends who sought
war contracts
Are wc supposed to believe that there
has been n burying of hatChcts in Jersey?
Or can it he that the enemies Of Mr.. Will
son and Mr.. Tumulty arc merely trying to
prepare a warm welcome for them in civil
life? On the face Of the situation 1t ap-
pears that Mr.. Nugent, rs well as Mr.
Bryan, has his own peculiar notions rCla-
tive to the form and manner in which the
Democratic party should he rcorGanizcd.

the failure of William Penn to foresee the
growth of the city.
All this leads up by devious ways and
gradual stages to the proposed international
fair in 1926. If the city, like Ephraim, Is
to be fed on east wind for a year or two
before We start to do anything the build
ings will not be ready for the fair on the
date when il should open.
The city Is full of business men who in
their own enterprises exhibit courageous
initiative and great driving power. When
they decide to do n thing they do it. II
these men are summoned to the task Of
planning for the fair and carrying out their
plans the thing will hc done brilliantly and
on time. II, however the lesser men are
allowed to push themselves into positions Of
authority on the committees we are in danger
of seeing n parade Of pcncocks vainly dis
playing their beautiful feathers while the real
work Of organization and construction lngs.
The way to do a thing il to do it. But
this is so trite n saying that we are in danger
Of forgetting that it is also true.
