are there for the sole purpose of playing politics. They
want to show that some members of the pres .dent’s cab-
inet are incompetent. Attention will be called to all
the mistake* that have been made and not a word will
be said by these detractors about the magnificent work
that has been done in preparation for the war. The ulti-
mate aim of the whole thing is to discredit President
Wilson.
That aim will not be accomplished, for even lb»*e-
velt, armed as he is with a venomous tongue, cannot
lower the president in the estimaWon of the people of
the United States. The president has not made any
serious mistakes and too many millions are engaged
today in thanking God that he and not Roosevelt is at
the head of this nation in this war emu.
The attack will be centered upon Secretary Baker,
but it will also include McAdoo and Daniels. Others may
fcc drawn into it. Hoover and Garfield are sure to get
theirs in the ‘'debates.” It is a feast of the politicians.
In reality it is a fight between President Wilson and
Theodore Roosevelt, for the latter is in Washington for
the sole purpose of cracking the party whip over the
republicans. They will all lump when the lasb strikes
them, too, even those who long ago announced that they
owed no further allegiance to this one-time boss.
There is the case of Senator Lodge as an example.
Xo sooner had Senator Stone mentioned the ru/me of the
superman with the shining teeth than S«cator Lodge
was on his feet to defend him. Senator Lodge has pend-
ing against him now a serious charge—that of being an
obstructionist to the extent that this government !»*t
fifteen ships which might be in the country's serv ice.
Was it Lodge or the shipping board that lost these
ships? The country wants to know.
No doubt ttie country will become sick of the spec-
tacle pre*ented in Washington before it is over. It al-
ready has revealed that our statesmen are merely pol-
iticians, although they have been posing as patriots.
Every move they have made has been to gain party ad-
vantage. They have come to the time when they must
try their strength against that of the president, and
the president, It is feared, may at some stage of the af-
fair find that he is leaning upon a broken reed, for con-
gress if not any too dependable in war or in puaeg.
Congress has shown that it is a political gathering and
may as well be classed as such in the future. There is
no such thing as nonpartisan legislation in congress ex-
cept as the demands of the people drive congress to
enact it.

INITIATING THEM INTO POLITICS.
■s
pvEMOCRATS LINED UP THE WOMEN of their
1 party as a political force at a recent meeting of
the State Democratic Forum in New York. One
of the women has been endorsed by the members of her
o'gariization for membership in the democratic state
committee and the members of the democratic state
cemmittee are said to favor her appointment.
State senators and others will deliver lectures to
the women on the art of voting. They refer to the
women now as the "petticoat wing” of the party and
the politicians are perfectly willing to coach them on
the best way to carry election*. The women of New
York appear to take readily to politics, too, something
after the manner of a duck taking to water. They have
endorsed one of their number, a woman lawyer, for
judge of the court of special sessions. After they have
looked around awhile they will pick out some more of-
fices for women.
Anybody can see that the New York democrats
aim to take the women under their guidance and corral
♦Tsir votes while they are new at the game. No doubt
they will corral them in the first election, and perhaps
i. the second battle of ballots, but they might as well
rid their minds now of the belief that the women will
f< rever remain docile in politics and vote as they are
told. They Just naturally will not do anything of the
kind. The first time the men politicians undertake any-
thing that does not meet with their approval they are
going to revolt and there will be a political upheaval
such as had not heretofore been known.
This will happen not only in New York, but else-
where when the women have been given the ballot They
may not improve government very much for a time, but
in the course of years they are going to remove from
politics gome of the rottenness that now marks the
game. They are going to rid the offices of some of the
incompetent leeches and they will not make any worse
mess of government than the men have made. That
much is certain, the simple fact being that it will be
impossible for them to make a worse mess than men
ha-e made and the chances being greatly in favor of
improvement.
With suffrage will come the end of John Barley-
orn, and then the women are likely to turn their atten-
tion to the drug habit and wipe it out. The country has
rigid laws now against the sale of drugs, but the laws
are not enforced. Mark it down now—the women are
going to vote and they are going to make the world a
better place to live in.
d « m
Attention in Petrograd is now centered on the bread
shortage and the lack of other food. W'hile political ac-
complishment may have a bearing there is every reason
ti believe that the average Russian, like other human
beings, is fond of bread.
Re Mi wa
They have a more effective way of getting the
money in Russia than has yet been tried by Secretary
McAdoo in this country. Bolsheviki agents break into
the safety deposit boxes and take the funds they find
there “for the use of the government.”

If congress really wants to do something that will
help both Hoover and Garfield it should appoint a
weather director—one who can stop the blizzards from
Medicine Hat before they reach the United States.

notions as to how they should be speeded. The colonel
has stated that he is there to see Chamberlain, Hiram

might be taken as an indication that he intends to start

separate cells seem to be required. Two others might
be of the open dormitory type, until such time as they
shall prove to be inadvisable. With tjie demonstrated
possibilities of trustworthy prisoners, two may well be
built very much like any college dormitory, with sepa-
rate private rooms. The remaining units, as needed,
could be of the cottage variety, found in the modern in-
dustrial school.
“This proposal would accommodate itself to orig-
inal plan, while giving opportunity for a more marked
and intensive classification of the prisoners, and a
greater variety of treatment. May we not hope that the
new state department of public welfare, with its more
centralized control of correctional institutions, shall
make possible the best known methods of housing the
prisoners of Illinois. Better still, may it discover a way,
with the prospect under penal farm colonies and other-
wise, to care for its derelicts under the open sky, and
that soon stone walls, coops, cages, shackles and iron
bars shall be obsolete for human beings.”
AH of which is very beautiful in theory, but has
not yet been found to work out well in actual practice.
It may be that the criminals themselves have not yet
been educated up to the point of appreciating the kind-
ness offered to them. Perhaps some of them do not
want to be reformed.

HATEVER MAY HAVE BEEN SAID about the
coal miners in the past, it must be admitted now
that they are loyal and patriotic. In the bien-
nial convention of the United Mine Workers of America
at Indianapolis they have pledged to the fuel adminis-
tration their unqualified support and co-operation and ]
at the same time they pledged the maximum production
of coal.
There are disturbers among the coal miners, it is
true, one of the most notable being Alexander Howat of
Kansas. Perhaps nothing else could be expected of a
Kansas man. To be a disturber runs in the blood of a
good many residents of that state.
But Mr. Howat has been sat upon considerably in
the convention at Indianapolis. Several times he has
been squelched and his pet objection to the penalty
clause has not been able to get much of a following. The
delegates to the convention seem to be loyal in their sup-
port of John P. White, president of the mine workers,
who resigned his office to become labor adviser to Fuel
Administrator Garfield. His salary has been continued
at $5,000 a year and the convention overwhelmingly en-
dorsed the action of the board in paying it to him. For
his services to the government White receives $1 a year.
It is apparent that the government can depend on
the mine workers for loyalty. They have reached the
point where they realize the seriousness of the war,
which is more than can be said of some persons engaged
in other lines.
Secretary Baker’s weekly review indicates that he
has not lost any of his optimism by the recent grilling to
which he was subi«-cted. It mav be, too, that the secre-
tary's optimism is fully justified.
