Heorseplay in. the national legislature over the question of woman suffrage is at:an end and the republican senators have taken the question in hand for a show down with the ad- ministration supporters and demand immediate action, the re- sult of a caucus. f For a long time now, there has been considerable checker| ' playmg on the part of the powers that be, and no little side- stepping and .dodging, at the same time appearing to be in favor of the right of franchise for the women whom General Pershing says “are doing more to win the war than are the men.” The women of the United States have earned by every right the privilege of equality at.the polls and no patriotic argument can-be advanced otherwise. They are not slackers in any sense of the word and are equally as well qualified as those who, from other shores, a.fter a few years residence in this country are clothed with a voice in the affairs of govern- ment, such as demonstrated by the German Alliance which sought to control the national legislature and which was un- earthed and never denied. The administration is using the woman suffrage questxon as a mere political asset and the republicans are determined to force the issue to a showdown. “Politics is adjourned” says . the president. Then let himself and his fo]lowers allow the mothers, sisters and wives of soldiers a voice in’ their nation’s affairs and not be humiliated further. ) SOME MORE OF SON-IN-LAW'S GREAT MANAGEMENT ! Accordmg to a dispatch in Saturday’s Pioneer, sent out from .Washington, the interstate commerce commission in its report for the first six months of government control of the ngl(:)ional railways, stated that the government lost $300,000, 0 This is one of the 'ideas of McAdoo, the president’s son-in- law and the individual whom the president is said to be groom- ing for the presidency in 1920. ‘There are other interests that the government has taken over and which have been placed in unfamiliar hands that - would no doubt make interesting reading as to. their successful operation. The airpline $640,000,000 fiasco wasnit a bad one, judging from the senate committee’s report. Y| S— i - YES, TAKE ’EM OUT OF THE SOFT BERTHS. Congressman Martin, says a Washington dlspatch has in- troduced an amendment to cut out the elimination in the nian power bill of all legislative, state and municipal officers who are-eligible to-service, and it seems to us that such is the proper caper. There are thousands who have evaded the draft under the pretext they are indespensible in their various offices, but the government of the United States continued in operation after presidents had been removed by the hand of an assassin. Thousands of payrollers are drawing fat salaries as” mere figureheads and to their country and communities are not worth half as mueh-as the boy in kahki at $30 per month, fight- ing for his country at the risk of his life. i 4 0 WHY WE FAVOR WOMAN’S RIGHT TO VOTE. Colonel Roosevelt comes out strong for woman’s right to vote. We have seen some men vote right here in Bemidji for whom we’d be heartily ashamed to admit that our wife was in- ferior in intelligence, and she’s cast her ballot in Illinois against liquor rule and the vote of the advocates of lawlessness and gang domination in: which the women turned the tide of clean- ing their home:- city, its bedy politic and its festering sores, and made their community prosperous, wholesome and a fit place in + which to reside and raise their children. And it is coming nationally, whether the national ad- ministration approves in deed, what it sprays in words, and when it does come, there will be one great housecleaning in the states throughout the nation. ) S COLONEL ROOSEVELT’S FORECAST. . Colonel Roosevelt predicts that Pepublican initiative will be as pronounced in the passage of the federal woman suffrage amendment in the senate as it was in the house in a recent letter to the late Senator Gallinger of New Hampshire. A quotation from Colonel Roosevelt’s letter says: “The” re- pubhcan party will do as it has done in the past and take the lead in completing the work of giving a square deal to the women of this country who are at this moment standing shoulder to shoulder with their husbands and fathers, thelr sons and brothers in the great war for liberty and justice.” e (et THESE COULD EASILY BE SPARED. There are thousands of slakers who are hiding behind a political pull in claiming to be necessary to the office they occupy. The trouble with' most of ’em is that from his neck down a man is worth about $2 per day, but it’s what he’s worth from his neck up that counts. Yes, several could be easily spared and no calam:ty result, 0. Judge McGee, state fuel administrator, fears a coal . crisis, says a Washington dispatch. Well, at that the judge’s famous coal deliverless order to the people of the state wasn’t so lvery far off. There won't be much for even the dealers to eliver. THE BEMIDJI DA!LY PIONEER | .
