The First Woman Senator.

It is political oddity that the first
woman member of the United States
Senate should be from Georgia. For
Georgia is one of the States where
the men insisted that woman's place
was in the home and not at the polls.
Georgia was more bitter in its oppo-
sition to woman suffrage than most
of its neighbor States. Georgia in
1919 rejected the Nineteenth Amend
ment to the Constitution by an over
whelming vote-39 to 10 in the State
Senate and 132 to "a in the House.
Texas might vote for such revolu-
tionary thing, but Georgia neverl
OF course it may be that Mrs.
WILLIAM II. FELTON,, who was ap-
pointed yesterday by Governor
HARDwIcK to fill the vacancy caused
by Senator TON WATsoS's death. will
never participate in the business OF
the United States Senate. A Demo
cratic primary in Georgia will nomi-
nate a candidate for the Senate this
month and it probably will be some
body of the sterner sex. But Georgia,
In honoring Mrs. FELTON,, who was one
of the patient strugglsrs for suffrage,
has made what will be regarded as
a gesture OF repentance for its hard
ness of heart.
Even If she never sees the Senate
Chamber Mrs. FELTON, is a Senator in
Congress. Georgia has done what
the country expected Kansas to do.

The Needed New Word.
"Publician" as a Term to Describe
One Who Serves the Public

To THE New YORK HERALD: How
shall we define the vocation or avocation
OF one who is unselfishly devoting him
self to public affairs? You report the
demand for new word less dignified
and exacting than Statesman" and less
sinister than politician"
Unfortunately words. like poets. arr
born and not made.
Hundreds of new words have been
made by scientific men, inventors and
manufacturers but these words are con-
nected with concrete objects and there
fore stick. Scores of slang words strike
the popular fancy and are accepted into
the language. Few words are made by
scholars because the making of a new
word is very difficult job.
We have the word "publcist," which
of course applies to person who inves-
tigates economic or public affairs. This
word suggests the proposed new word
publican" as one who serves the pub
lie. Civilian, electrician, Bostonian and
politician arc examples Of words SINH
larly formed. Publican" is therefore a
word logical and well born and would
mean one who belongs to or who serves
the public.
Warren G. Harding Is a statesman.
Charles =. Murphy is a politician. Theo-
dore Roosevelt, in his earlier career, was
a PUBLICAN.
/ believe the word PUBLICAN is good
one and fits the case. even il 1t is some-
what like the word publican" a
change of one letter makes difference
in a lot of words, for instance "signer"
and sinner" Yet one does not hesitate
to become sgner lest he may thereby
become a sinner e. G. JOHNSON.

Isadora Duncan's Case.
Anna Fitziu Protests Against Her
Ellis Island Experience.

| To THE New York HERALD: Isadora
Duncan at Ellis Island The gods may
we'll laugh. Isadora Duncan, to whom
the School OF Classical Dancing in Amer
lea owes its foundation, put in the ciass
with dangerous immigrants.
Here is an American artist OF the
very first rank, woman whose art is
developed to a subtlety almost beyond
appreciation, a dancer who puts into
her performance not only the exquisite
perfection of rhythm and poetry of
movement but vivid and restless imag-
ination that is unsurpassed in the realm
of the dance. put in a detention pen
The first OF her series of dance reci-
tails for which she journeyed to Amer
lea is scheduled for next Saturday after
noon. performance in which the artist
will give TO the hundreds who will
throng to applaud her the very highest
in the art of the dsnce-and our immi-
grant officials tremble in their boots
lest she convert her audience to Boil
shevism
And all the trouble seems to have
arisen from the simple fact that Miss
Duncan has exercised the privilege of
marrying whom she pleased and that
her husband happens to be youthful
Russian poet. All those who know Miss
Duncan know that she is an artist little
Interested in social and economic prob
lens, and her husband is an artist like
her
When we Americans reach point
where we are willing to disown our own
for Miss Duncan is our own-when
our own have contributed something
priceless to our native art il is surely
time to protest. ! do not believe we
have reached that point. but as our
immigrant officials apparently do be-
lleve it, l hereby register my feeble
protest ANNA FITzIg.

TIE City Thinks of You.

The city thinks OF you, now you are

Under the noon when night is far with

fleet,
or dreams Of you. to find remembrance

When twilight FOODS the western sky

Never another trod its old grim ways
With half your grace; no other ever

With laughter when the sky was over

And so with sunshine filled the gloomy

PARIS, Oct. 3.-The opening OF the
conference for the discussion of the inter-
allied debts and German reparations to
be held In Brussels has been tentatively
SGT for December !. The preliminary
plans do not provide for Americas pres
eace, as there is growing feeling that
at least one European conference will
have to be held before cooperation by
the United States can be expected.
Exchanges OF views have already taken
place between the French and Belgian
governments and as soon as the Turkish
problem is fairly on the way to settle
ment conversations will be held periodi-
cally between Paris and London.
Premier Poincares present plan is to
offer to reduce the German obligation
TO a figure between 40.000,000.00O and
so, 600, ,00o, 900 marks gold in return for
the cancellation of the French debt to
Great Britain and England's surrender
of her share In reparations, which
amounts to 90 per cent
One OF the most important factors
toward the success OF the Brussels con-
ference is thought to be the mission TO
Washington of Sir Robert S. Horne.
British Chancellor of the Excheuuer.
While the Allies are said to realize hat
there is no possibility OF the cahccis-
ton Of the British debt, any definite
n sraement for funding 1t would place
Great Britain in a position to consider
acceptance of,the French Premier's pro-
posaI. sir Robert is expected back about

announcement concerning further dept
missions TO Washington, though 1t is

mentier and some other onciai VIII re-
turn TO Washington with details which

Bankers and Farmers.

EUGENE MEYER. Jr, managing di-
rector of the War Finance Corpora
ton. said a sensible thing to the
banl1ers' convention when he declared
that TO do its work right banking ma
chinery must shape itself to natural
conditions and not expect natural
conditions to shape themselves to the
banking machinery. This is funda
mental truth as to all business prac-
tices.
The farmer cannot make his turn
over in sixty to ninety days like the
active, pushing, successful merchant,
who knows that the welfare of his
business, the welfare of all those con-
nected with his business. depends on
( the quick flow of goods to and away
! from his shelves. The farmer must
wait year before he can go to mar
ket with his new crop. He may have
to wait longer than a year to sell it
if the market is waterlogged with an
excessive supply. In that year he
must have the financial facilities to
plant, raise, harvest, ship and sell
his crop.
The American farmer is entitled to
get the best banking facilities from
the regular banking system, rather
than from special agencies operated
in rivalry or conflict with our now
truly great banking system under the
I Federal reserve plan. The American
/ farmer is entitled to get this banking
service. because the American farmer
is the base on which rests the coun-
try's whole Industrial, commercial
and financial structure. 1t is as i'm
portant to the American people as
it is to the American farmer that he
should get it.
Mr.. MEYER, under whom the War
Finance Corporation has lent upward
of half billion of dollars to banking
institutions in the agricultural sec
tions for reloans to farmers and live
stock men, had this message of cheer
about the American farmers:
THE position OF the farmer and
stock man has been immensely
strengthened. hle harvest prospect Is
favorable and. although there were
declines recently In the prices of some
commodities, most staple farm prod
ucts are considerably higher than
they were in the summer and foll
of last year
And of equal moment to the farmer
and to the country is the fact that his
cost of raising the crop he will sell
! this year was lower than his cost of
raising the crop sold last year. His
labor cost less, his machinery less,
his supplies less.
In the previous crop year the
! farmer had put topnotch costs into
his crops only to have the bottom
| fall out of his market when he went
to sell those high cost crops. Even
the prices of last year. which went
down to something like a normal
basis would have been good enough
II the costs of the products had been
anything like normal.
But the farmer could not stand up
against the combination of higher
outgo and lower income. He was
eaten up in the process. This is
why he had to have unusual bank
ing help. 1t is why the banks in
the agricultural section had to have
unusual help. And both may need
such help for some time because the
farmer got deeply into debt and the
farmer banks carrying him got over
