Withdraw the Marines

There is no for keeping United States
marines in Nicaragua until after the 1882 elections
there, the policy announced by Secretary Of State
Stmson Friday Stimsons plan to keep 1900 marines
there until next June, after which 500 to remain
until the 1882 election, is another example Of the
hot-and-cold tactics of the state department which
makes us so unpopular throughout Latin America.
The state departments alib for sending the
rines to Nicaragua in 1927 to protect American
lives and property and to break up alleged Next
can Bolshevik plot. 1t later was proved that Amer
lean lives and property not in danger and that
there never had been any Mexican Bolshevik plot
Later the state department invented new alib
for keeping the marines there-they had to supervise
fair election in 1923 and train native constabulary
After the 1923 election, they supposed to get
out, but they didn't.
Since then they have been fighting the Mica
raguan rebels, which is more the business Of
American marines than to fight the rebels Of Meso-
potarnia or the Hitlerites Of Germany.
The marines already have supervised elections, and
have had four years in which to train native
stabulary. There was no legitimate reason to use
American troops for those two jobs in the first place
There is even less justification for proongng the
mistake by keeping them there.
Nicaragua is an independent sovereign nation.

ended at once.

Susan B. Anthony

The right of women to vote has been accepted as
50 inherent and natural right that Susan B. An
thongs birthday passes without the attention usually
accorded emancipators
AS matter of gratitude, Feb Is, the birthday OF
this woman who pioneered the long fight, should
be honored perpetually by at least 1t Is her
fate to receive only limited homage, because her po-
litical victory is so complete that few remember how
bitterly it was won.
This school teacher devoted most Of her life to
winning suffrage for women. SIZE began in 184s,
woman victory still was thirteen years away. But in
1875 she drafted the federal suffrage amendment in
the form in which it finally added to the Con-
eSitution.
Voting women have accomplished no great reforms.
1t was not intelligent to expect they would. With
the same limited knowledge the same motives and
emotions as men, they subject to the errors
and faults.
That was no reason for holding them sub
ject class and masculine we'll as feminine self
respect demanded that they be treated as adults.
But only half of Susan B. Anthony'S fight has
been Political equality has not brought women
civil equality There still states where father
may will child away from It's mother; where wifes
earnings and clothing and jewelry all belong to her
husband; and where countless other laws deprive
women Of privileges enjoyed by men,
Some day these determinations, too will exist only
in memories. Susan B. Anthonys motto was mo
compromise" and her spirit lives on, as all great
spirits do

He said: What does a husband

has gone through the mill? No!
"He wants to come home to a
wife who is fresh and charming and
