CAN WIN NOTHING"

"Women and labor have not yet awakened to the fact that they can win nothing through the old parties. no matter which party or party candi- date wins. As long as they remain satisfied with the shell game against them-and the, political game is a she'll game, as played by the old party politicians-as long as they allow themselevs to be bambOozied by ltp service there is small inducement fer sincere candidates.
 My experience has been that neith- CT women nor organized labor SUD- port candidates who stand for them.'

WANTS WOMEN
 TO VOTE FOR
 THEIR OWN SEX

NEW YORK, March 9.-,A "5O-50" Congress was demanded here by Miss Anne Martin, of Nevada, the first wo- man in the country to run for United States senator.
 Even feminists use their sex in poli tics, Miss Martin declared. She advo- cated the organization of women to elect only women candidates to office.
 Until women get equal particpa tion in government, county, state and national affairs women will be con- pelled to use sex as an indirect influ ence in lobbying mems legislatures and Congress for equal rights said the woman leader.
 SEX IS EMPHASIZED
 Even women who are strongly fem mist in their views use sex now in political affairs. They use it when they lobby congressman for legisla- tion affecting their interests.
 "It would be far more self-respect- ing and direct to organize women to elect selected women to Congress and to state legislatures, with the objec- tive of half and half representation in those bodies. To make things equal, Congress should be composed half of women and half of men, and until it is women can do little to change laws which are unjust to their sex Nothing less than direct and equal participa- tion in government as we'll as in all the affairs of life will win women equality"
 Miss Martin declared that neither women nor labor will stand by candi- dates who are their friends. There is little hope for success by a third party if sponsored by labor of women, she declared.

It? II Is a privilege to have ready at
hand such a splendid opportunity to
develop inviting possibilities, to pro-
vide ways and means for realizing the
promises of great advantages which
may be Augustus for the taking.
Much and very beneficial work has
been done there for our youth. Much
more may be accomplished in this
way If We but will have it SO. The
privileges there afforded for ,om-
munity efforts, FOR use as a civic
center. are unusual. Some advantage
has been taken Of this feature of OPP
portunity. but not enough. Shall we
not take more: But one may not long
take without giving. We were SO Gre
ated. Recognizing this. it follows we
should make the best of it. And that
best is full of promise, teeming with
possibilities. and we are able to give
that which is required.
Surely there Is no one at all
acquainted with the Augusta people
who Will for an instant suppose they

AcCOMPANiSTS NOT PROPERLY
RECOGNIZED

Piano accompanies are not prop
erly recognized at recitals says a
Boston newspaper, and so says q
Philadelphia magazine. And isn't 1t
true that any celebrated soloist or
violinist would prefer not to appear
on the stage at all. than to sing or
play before an audience with an in
ferior accompanist? Many novices
owe their successful debut to the one
playing the accompaniment. The ac-
companist who helps a prima donna
or a violinist often has to play mu-
sic that never was intended for the
piano by the original composer.
At concert Of the Beethoven As
ISOLATION in New York recently the
soloist and accompanist who rendered
songs Of the modern German school
were classed as artists Of equal rank
and at the close Of each selection
bowed as artists ensemble"
A couple Of botanists from Har-
ward University were once trying to
set rare Alpine flower that grew on
an impossible section OF a cliff far
below them. 1t was decided that the
plant could be obtained only by low
ering a small boy in a basket at
tached 10 a rope. The small boy was
found n a nearby shepherds cot
tage. The rope and basket were like
wise procured and when they were
ready te lower the basket one Of the
men said to the child who hesitated,

Yes" replied the boy-'if my
father holds the rope"

Obey the Law
IN. Y. Tines

|. Bishop Manning's remarks about
prohibition are doubly effective be-
cause he has never been a prohibi-
ZIONIST and has no personal or moral
objection to moderate drinking. Yet
be believes from information coming
to him from many trustworthy
sources that prohibition is already
resulting in improved conditions,
both morally and practically, in the
lives and homes of our people;s and
he believes, partly from Conservation
in the army, that prohibition proper
ly enforced will make US healthier,
stronger and better people" With
these opinions many disagree. But
there can be only one opinion of the
Bishops assertion of the supremacy
of law and the duty of every citizen
to obey it:
Prohibition is now the law of our
land. Those who disapprove this law
have the right to do SO and to work
in lawful ways for it's repeal. But
no citizen has the right to evade or
disobey this law, and no one of us

himself and to the life of our eoun-
try.
1T is asserted" continued the
Bishop-and the assertion is true
that this law is widely disregarded.
and especially by those whose wealth
and position in the community give
them greatest influence. To what
ever extent this is true, it is a mat
ter of the utmost seriousness and Of
deepest concern" 1t is to be hoped
that the Bishops admonition will be
pondered by those Immediately re-
spectacle persons who regard the
breaking of the prohibition laws as
the most delightful of jokes. The
tootlegger is hunted, prosecuted. i'm
prisoned, sometimes shot. His client,
customer, accomplice, without whom

sELFlsHNEss PROVED NOT BEN
EEICIAL,

The America Japan Society gave
dinner, Thursday. at TOXIC to the
Japanese delegates to the Washing
ton Conference, on which occasion the
American ambassador, Mr.. Warren,
happily expressed thought which
should receive moro attention, not
only in Japan but in all parts of the
earth, Indeed, until it docs receive
more consideration, until methods are
made to conform to the live and let
live" principle, it will be as idle to
suppose there will be no more war as
to suppose snowballing will become a
part of Fourth of July celebrations on
the Equator.
1.-THE pressing insistence of govern
ments upon selfish interests of their
nationals has not always proved to be
the most beneficial policy. Reasonable
nat;onalism surely ought to compre-
bend that sovereign states should be
friendly equals in the peaceful rivalry
of expanding commerce" Whether in
saving this he had in mind the in
famous demands which Japan made
upon China when it was thought she
had the power to insist, the rest of
the world being too busy with war,
may only be inferred but it is more
than likely the incident was in the
minds of some of those present.
All is fair in love or war-or bust
ness-,1asn't worked well in practise.
OF course there are those in every
community enviou5 of the one who
has accumulated u generous supply
of the worlds goods by "over-reach-
Ing" but this rather reveals the weak
ness of the envious than any really
enviable condition which the over
reacher actually e-tioys. And there is
no more reprehensible form Of over
reaching than that of appealing to
racial differences to secure personal
advantage, alluded to b. Ambassador
Warren, and it is not impossible that
he or some of those present were
thinking of certain instigators in this
country of hostility to Japan.

for a time acted as correspondent for
the journal. taking up the work after
deciding to relinquish training for
the medical profession for newspaper
work to which he gave himself with

That is a long period Of service in
the exacting work Of making news

not so much as the shadow Of turn

record OF long, painstaking work

lily filled.
