WOMEN AS GAMBLERS
(Fly May Slranathan)
Women are now seeing how
the old saying about sauce for
the goose being sauce for the
gander works when transposed
and Miss Aiee Kobertson the sole
woman member of Congress has
very properly refused to take up
cudgels for a number of women
suspended from iheir jobs in the
Government Printing Office for
betting on horse races.
"Womn demand ."))-r0 rights
with men" savs Miss Kobertson
in defining her position in the J
matter '.'im'l must pay the same
kind of penalties. Men employes
were also suspended for betting
on the races."
The gambling instinct general-
ly supposed to be a masculine
characteristic is just as strong iu
women as Miss Itobertson points
out the only difference being
that women usually play for
much smaller stakes which does
not alter the principle involved.
It is to this passion for gamb-
ling in women to which Miss
Robertson attributes their devot-
ing whole afternoons to cards
where the stake is a china late
or a brass candlestick.
All life is considered by many
to be but a big gamble and in
one sense it is environment rep-
resenting the limitations of thej
cards and will and initiative rep-
resenting the chances to win.j
.Most persons will tU you tliey
consider marriage a irame of
chance which probably accounts
for its popularity with women.

dential THE BERGDOLL SENTENCES
It may be difficult for Ameri-
ca 11 mothers who gave their sons
at their country's call scores of
'thousands who will nver come
back and hundreds of thousands
who returned bearing the signs
of scarifice to have much sym-
pathy for consideration of Mrs.
Hergdoll as "a fond and foolish
mother." The sentence of a year
and a day in the Atlanta Peniten-
tiary to be remitted if the $70H)
in fines is promptly paid can not
be regarded as severe in a case
'where pots of gold have figured.
Similar consideration for the
other defendants one on account
of his three score nnd ten aml the
others because of their relations
to the Bergdolls increases the
desire for the eventual recapture
and return of the draft evader
who after all is the person to be
most exemplarily punished.
At the same time if evasion of

be well to have it made clear thatj.an t0 aceept the portion though of

Harding Puzzled Over
Selection of
Washington. May 21. Who will
b the next chief justice of the United
States. The deah of Chief Justice
White hastens the conaiileration of a
problem that President Hardin? did
aot t-xjK'c: to tackle until the end of
the present term of the Supreme
Court when It wu generally assumed
that Mr. White would retire.
For many months it has toen ac-
cep:ed that the end of this term of
court would see not only the retire-
ment of a Chief Justice but other
members of the count of advanced atre.
President Harcflnj? has from thp begin-
ning hoped that he would be abl to
ipjoint former Senator Ueorpe Sib-
erian t of I'tah who was his constant
adviser during the campaign and
whose judicial ability Is unquestioned.
Another hope which Mr. Harding
na had wa that an opoprtunlty
would present Itself whereby he could
honor former Preside u Taft with a
place on the highest bench of the
land. To appoint both Mr. Taft ana
Mr. Sutherland would require two va-
cancies and it Is not Improbable that
President Harding will delay appoint
ing a successor to the Chief Justice
until after tho clone of this term of
court so that he can make two ap-
pointment at one time.
Su'herland Born In England
The difficulty about appointing for-
mer Senator Sutherland to the chief
Justiceship Is the fact that he was
born In Kngland. It. has never been
customary for any ha: a native Amerf
course Senator Sutherland like the
late Secretary Iane and Former Sec-
retary of Labor Wilson spent so little
of their youth under the Ilrltlsh flag
that they wero never regarded aany
thing but 100 per rent Anerlcans.
While George Sutherland Is likely
thnreforot to heroine an Asstoclate
Justice some day the chances arP that
he will not be made Chief Justice.
That place will In all probability
P
to former President Taft If It goe?
to anyone not now
on the bench
The difficulty about elevating the
present members of the court is that
the Republicans ar. too far advanced
In age and the younger Justices are
Democrats. Th next Chief Justice
will bp a Republican.
The niovement to appoint former

Chief Justice
President Tar: to become the head 1
of the supreme court bi been ism-
taneous ever since it became known
that Chief Justice White would retire.
There has been no exerting of pres-
sure no attempt to line up political
Influences It has been a simple ex-
pression that has come In many ways
to President Harding that the appoint-
ment of Mr. Taft would be popular
wl;h the country.
Taft Well Qualified
Ever since Mr. Taft entered public
life hii Intimate friends have said
that hp was happiest on the bench.
As federal Judge In Ohio he was
not only popular but hia decisions
were noteworthy. On his retirement
from the presidency Mr. Taft be-
came the head of the WarLa!or
board nJ won the confidence of
labor by his fairness and Impartiality.
In the league of Nations controversy
he clung tenaciously to th( wing of
the Republican party which favored
fooperation with Europe as again it
absolute isolation. He won praise
from the Democratic press for his
stand alongside President Wilson
when the la'ter was making an active
fight 'or ne I-eague Of Nations.
Of course. Washington Is full of gos-
sip already concerning the possibility
that Secretary of State Charlen Kvarls
Hughes may be given the chief Jus
tlceship. This has proceed from the
notion that Mh Hughes gave up a lu
crative law practice anl consented to
get Into the public service a?a!n be
cause of an expectation that he would
no be expected to remain secretary of
state throughout the admlnl.strat'on.
but would go back on the bench when
a vacancy occurred. Anyone who
knows Mr. Hughes of course dosen't
believe that he took the portfolio o'
secretary of state with any such ex-
pectation but simply because he felt
It a du'y fO help in a crisis In foreign
policy. He has done his Job so well
and Mr. Hardin? leans so heavily nt-
! on him that the Idea of orono lnr him

j missed at once as out of the question
