That Sock.Dorner Strike

n o SOCKS go undarned because women voter
- That is a vital question that confronts US today
not entirely US personally and editorially, but us ma
tionauy. In a letter to the Times editor, which we
printed Yesterday. there was a plea that the strikers in
the useful art of sock darning return to work
Mother was a past mistress in that art. Well can
we remember how, with Dad reading aloud, she sat
night after night under the light Of a faint oil lamp and
darned and darned and darned. And yet that old ITO
be-darnedr basket never was empty. When Mother
wove a soft, neat patch over that big hole in the toe,
you never had to limp, either.
Mother had views on public questions, too, but it
was very rarely that they differed from Dads. Most
of the time the opinions she expressed were a refiec-
ton of his. But, sorry as we are to say it, Dad went
to sleep politically. He let George do it. and it wasn't
done well. Then Mother showed she was awake. She
had been doing some thinking on her own, and she be-
gan to act.
Now comes Mrs. Sidney Small, the only woman al
derman of Toronto, with a statement that women do not
want to rule the world, but are not satisfied with the
way men do it. I'VE seek only to cooperate with men
in protecting the home and the State" she says. Mrs.
Small is paying the United States a visit. Her OBJ
servation is that Canadian women are more enthusiast
tic and regular voters than American women because
they get more contact with city and national affairs
through daily work outside the homes.
For us men who have to wear socks with holes in
EN- or be told by friend wife to go out and buy new
while she goes TO a political rally-there's our answer.
It takes more hands to get a wagon out Of a ditch
than it does to keep it going on level ground. The
women who used to darn our socks have gone in to
get the political wagon out and running to suit them
better than the way We ran 1t by ourselves.
Perhaps, a little later on, when the wheels are well
oiled and turning to their liking, the women folks will
detail a sufficient force as a home guard. so we can
have our socks darned as Of old.

A VOICE FROM THE
DEBATERS' AUDIENCE

To the Editor NJ The Times
The time has come when voters
should use their brains instead OF
taking promises from any candidate
seeking Office" We should vote as
men and women and taxpayers FOR
principal and econmy."
I was a Progressive In 1912 and
1915 and am stil a Progressive and
resent hat name OF "Lunatic Fringe
from either Mr.. Beveridge or Mr..
Roosevelt as It was used by Mr.. Bev-
eridge IN his speech at Gary, Oct. 81.
The Progressive party In 1912 had
the best platform ever presented for
American votes. Mr.. Bevertdge was
then a stauch advocate and in 1915
an unreliable and in 1920 an unreli-
able and in this campaign he Is a

Sanders case, which also Is pending. If Sanders is
wrong and if Hennessey is right, the editor of this
newspaper is now in contempt Of Judge Ross court.
In this editorial uncompimentary reference has
been made to the Daugherty-Wilkerso injunction. If
Sanders is wrong and Hennessey is right, then the
editor Of this newspaper is VI in contempt of Judge Will
kerson.
So be 1t.
If Hennessey is right, and Sanders is wrong, no
politicians conduct, no pending legislation, no attempt
to secure public franchises, no scandal or graft in the
expenditures of the taxpayers money, no other question
of any sort, which through the medium of a bona fde
or Of a framedup lawsuit becomes a pending case,
may be discussed by a citizen in the street or by an
editor in the columns of his newspaper without peril
of being hailed into court as for contempt and being
fined or imprisoned, or both.
If the rule in Sanders case is the law, then the
editor of this newspaper, and regretfully he says it, is
in contempt.
But he can not believe it is the law.

Skirts and Opticians

4 TIME reader writes to inquire If we have OBJ
"A served fewer men wearing glasses on the
streets since skirts became longer. She asserts an
actual count Of short-sighted males on Washington st.
indicates a decided slump in the business of the optom-
etrists.
To be frank, we had not gone so deeply into the
subject, but, even allowing our correspondent is right,
there are signs of encouragement for all local opticians
within the past few days. Paris designers have ad-
mitted that the refusal of American women to adopt the
long skirt spells its doom.
American women are at last debating world fash
ions. American buyers are refusing to take floor
length gowns-they must raise them at least six inches,
they say. Club women in New York are adopting reso-
buttons declaring they will not wear skirts longer than
seven inches from the ground.
The New York Federation of Women's Clubs, in
convention at the Astor Hotel, adopted similar resolu-
lions and expressed themselves as believing women are
giving up some of their much-disputed rights by per-
hitting the passing of the short skirt. Thus Paris is
defed and the mOdiste-ah-she is INSULT Likewise.
the optometrists and the opticians maxwell. they
may feel optimistic.

To the Editor of TIE Times
We have read lately several dis
cussions and plans regarding the
traffic regulations in the congest4l dis.
tIict. Some have been tried and dis
carded as impracticable; we are sub.
hitting a plan for publication, as we
believe the Times readers are vitality
interested.
l. All pedestrians shall we.'- armor
plate, and shall crawl across the
street at all crossings. something in
the manner of a tortoise.
2. Street cars shall load passengers
from underneath. The passenger
crawl3 to the center of the track, fac
ing the car. The motorman lowers
a scoop and collects the' victims with
out stopping. No passengers will be
collected not in armor plate. This be-
ing a great boon to the street car
company enabling the conductor TO
pile the passengers one upon the
ether without discomfort to those I'M
derneath.
8. All large cars to run east and
west only. All Fords to run north and
south only. Place GO on all four sides
of the semaphore. The north and
south-bound bugs are to pass @under
the larger cars coming from e." east
and west. Corner police f. De
equipped with a football suit 10 pro
tect his shins.
4. All horse-drawn vehicles to be
hauled on motor trucks.
5. No auto shall turn a corner I'M
de- sixty miles an hour. as a less speed
than this does not give the pedestrian
enough exercise.
6. Any pedestrian permitting him
self TO be knocked down and run over
by either auto CT street car shall be
subject TO a fine Of not less than 800
and sixty days for the first ~ofsense.
Z. All cars parked between Penn
sylvania and Illinois streets. IN Wash
ington St, between 1901 a M. and
1859 p. m, must be parked wrong
side out.
We believe that the adoption OF the
above regulations would lessen the
traffic officers troubles and give him
a more angelic disposition. We sug-
gest. however, that all drivers OF autos
bearing other State tags than Indiana
be stopped and bawled out on all oc.
caslons as this increases the popular
ity OF our village.

land that the Kemalists were good
Turks-and not the wicked variety
with which the European powers pre-.
viously had considerable experience,
thus obtaining favorable terms for
Kemal at the Mundania armistice
conference.
But now, in the exuberance Of
victory, the Kemalist government
has done several things which have
caused pain in the Quai D'Orsay.
First there was an intimatton-
which now seems to be grounddless-
that the Turkish Nationalists, in over
throwing the Sultan's government at
Constantinople last week, planned to
repudiate all Observation-Disclosures
al and fnancial-which had been en-
tered into by the sublime porte. This
caused considerable painful excite
ment here since French capital is
heavily invested in the Turkish realm.

~ AYMOND EUGENE WILSON. kidnaper and brutal
N assailant of a 12-year-old girl at Muskegon, Mich,
was captured at 6 o'clock one evening, confessed next
morning, was arraigned before Judge Vanderwerp at
10 a. m, given a f~orty-year sentence at p. m, and was
on his way to prison at $3.50.
That's the way to do it! Quick justice in criminal
cases-particularly IN cases of this sort-wil do more
to stamp out ~lynching than all the fool antilynching
bills a lot of silly voteseeking Congressman could pass
between now and the last trumpet.
Wilson is 81 years old. His f~orty-year sentence
means life-which is as it should be. Feeling around
Muskegon was naturally running high against the fend,
but his prompt punishment at the hands of the law
saved him from probable punishment at the hands Of
the mob.
