LISTEN, WORLD!
By Elsie Robinson :

RHAPS IF WE EX-
PECTED MORE OUT OF WO-
MEN, WE'D GET MORE OUT
OF MEN.
I suspect that one Of the
great troubles with the world
today is that we expect females
to be nice girls and sweet wives
and dear old mothers, instead
of expecting them to be regu
lar, two-fisted human beings.
Whereupon. they put talcum
powder on their baby boys in
stead of boxing gloves; and
bye and bye, when those boys
go to Congress, look what
happens!
Well, if you insist that
women shall stay at home and
raise flowers. you must expect
a lot of mignonette in the
voters list.
It should be considered as
shameful for a woman to know
nothing of her country's af-
fairs-to be ignorant of "the
seamy side of life"-as for a
man.
There is absolutely no excuse
in 1882 for feminine atti-
tude." Brains have no sex.
Back-boneS have no gender. If
women demand equal rights,
they should have equal in
formation and equal wallop to
back up that information.
Why don't I write like a
woman?
Because I am female only
secondarily. as a man is male
only secondarily.
Primarily, I am a human be-
ing, facing and dealing with
the same conditions which
affect a man. If I can't think
and talk about those conditions
as a man thinks and talks
about them, then I've no busi-
ness writing at all.
And that goes for all the
rest of this equal rights world.
This is no place for females
who have gotta act like ladies.

and lone debutantes, at tea
dances. But, in America, the
gigolo has blossomed into fifty
seven varieties-every one "just
a little boysy trying to get
along"
You probably have heard of
only one type; the graceful,
pretty-faced youth with the
polished manners, who goes in
for devotion in a Big Way to

bent on clinging to her dancing

But don't imagine that lonely
widows and over-ripe ladies are
the only supporters of the
gigolo racket. 1t thrives on
tired business women, bored
wives, rich spinsters and ambl-
tious debutanteS. In short, on
feminine VANITY!
It requires ability and energy
to make good in business or a
profession. But all it takes
to be a brilliant success as a
gigolo is a suit of evening
clothes, a dancing foot and
good line of soft soap.
Given these, and almost any

MOT only the people OF

more about the conference
between Mayor Walker and
the most important interna-
tional bankers in New York

municipality whose bonds
are the best in the world.
Just now, when it is pro-
posed to create an enor-

Government for the benefit

Congress will want to know,

They will want to know If

international bankers, who
propose to protect heir
enormous loans to foreign
cities, foreign countries and

owe "no obligation" to the
great American city in which
they operate.
They will want to know,
too, if these bankers have

York that the people shall be
forced to something higher
than a scent fare on the

They will want to know if

Administration Must
Put Self on Record

Meanwhile, moving with
businesslike celerity, the
House has passed its tariff
measure within a week, with
the insurgents and progress
slves among the Republicans
supporting it. There is
scarcely any doubt that the
same alignment will pass it
in the Senate. The Admin
istration forces in the House
made no impressive showing
in debate, scarcely touch
ing upon the provisions of
the measure. When it
reaches the President it is
probable that it will meet a
veto, and since two-thirds
are necessary to pass a
measure over the presi-
Dental veto, it will be lost.
But the Administration
will be on record.
1t will be Oh record
against any change in the
tariff act Which has lost
us the foreign market by
inviting the retaliation of
the world.
On record against enter
ing into any negotiations
with the nations whose mar
kets we have lost, for reci-
procaI concessions in the in
terest of the resumption Of
trade.
On record against any ir-
ternational trade conference
to end the mad-dog policy
we began, which is destroy
ing international exchange
of goods.
On record against per-
mitting the consuming mil
lions of Americans to have
counsel with the Tariff
Commission to protect the
public interest.
The House bill is in COM
rlete harmony with the
views of economists, and it
squares with the demands
of business men and fl
nanciers who realize that
the revival of international
trade is the first essential
to the restoration of pros"
perity.

Economists Support
Rehabilitation Loan

Mayor Walker tells Sena-
tor Copeland that there are
100000 unemployed in New
York city alone, and that
there are 100000 families in
need Of food and clothing.
This is a national condition,
with which the national Gov
ernment refuses to deal.
Sooner or later Congress
will pass upon some of the
measures providing for a
great public Improvement
program that will put mil
lions to work. 1t is opposed
by the Administration, but
the Administration offers no
substitute for the relief of
human misery. Meanwhile,
the sentiment favorable to
the plan grows. Alfred E.
Smith urged it the other
night in his jackson day
speech. Thirty-one scientific
economists have just urged
it, setting forth these con-
clusiOns
The plan would re-em-
ploy vast numbers of idle
workers.
1T would offset social
waste resulting from sup
porting millions in enforced
idleness.
1T would give stimulus
needed for business recovery.
1T would end ruinous de-
flation and start needed
credit expansion.
Bonds could be readily
absorbed with the aid of our
credit system.

such policy in England, says

Billions to Europe;

We presumably Will nave
the stat ment soon of
Thomas Lamont, Of j. T.
Morgan & Co., as to what
occurred. Mayor Walker,
with proper spirit, has
forced that issue into the
open. 1t is gratifying to
learn that behind the closed
doors cf the conference
room the people of New
York had q spokesman who
was not afraid.
At the instance of the
mayor, Senator Copeland
introduced an amendment to
the bill, now pending in
Congress, for the benefit of
the banks, extending the
benefit to municipalities
wishing loans and financially
beyond suspicion.
The Senate killed the
Copeland amendment, but
the House can and should
adopt it before passing the
bill.
In a flaming letter to
Senator Copeland, Mayor
Walker says:
"on the one hand the
national authorities are urg-
ing that the relief for the
acute unemployment and re-
sulting poverty anu distress
must be provided by the To-
calities themselves-that is
by cities. towns and villages.
On the other hand the banks
have raised the interest
charges on short term loans
to prohlbitive rates and are
imposing almost impossible
conditions or even flatly
refusing to do business with
the authorities of their own
communities.
while billions have been
loaned through these same
banks to foreign lands, they
are now protesting inability
to meet imperative necessi-
ties right at home.
If this is true. the public
has a right to all the facts;
and Congress, to act intelll-
gently, must know them.
With the Federal Admin
istration refusing to do any
thing to relieve the distress
or to prevent the starvation
of women and children,
while interesting itself in the
relief of banks, it is pleasing
to find that there are Off
cials in smaller governmental
units who are concerned
about human misery.
To put the responsibility
of preventing starvation on
villages and cities and then
to refuse them necessary

Not only the people of

loaned billions across the sea
assumed any such arrogant
attitude as has been de-
sCfibed.
