Carver of Harvard, writing in reply bed | an article in the public press on “Womankind versus) Sdankind,” which argued that the excess of women over men might lead to the restoration of the matri-| archate, says the suggestions are based on false rea-) gening and a lack of informations It is not a surplus) We | mans won!’ said a British officer. | camses of war are fantastic, I will say that despite all| my travels,,) when I come into a community which is backward in sanitary plumbing and bathrooms, I fee! inclined to establish an American protectorate over its people without its consent by plebiscite; and this, though I know that my ancestors, two or three gen- erations back, were no further advanced than they in what were so lately luxuries, and now have become as essential as the use of a handkerchief in e coat sleeve. y companions had been insurrectos, Grande after my latest trip to Mexico, where for many wees my companions had been insurrectos, whose filthy ways were as uncomfortable as they were disgu ‘Never_again ‘until I am with a sanitary train following an army of occupation. There is no other hope for Mexico.’ “After a few months I recovered my, perspective, and my reason counseled the policy of patient waiting on self-determination to work out reforms from with- in; but for the moment my emvtion was such that I would have welcomed military action to impress re- forms from without. “If we lose shall we have to eat sausage and soup and endure the spread of German art?’ said a fastid- ious French officer, whose jesting» had the sharpness of a warrior’s steel. He fought the harder at Ver- dun for that cause. “‘Think of traveling on the continent if the Ger- ‘And being elbowed by a Prussian in a railway carriage as if he were a better man than you. And all the German waiters knocking their heels together in London restaurants, and instead of waiting on us expecting us to wait on them. We'l! never give in! It’s yielding the world to Prussian manners.’” eye STs WE STAND TOGETHER. “What should impress the representatives o: at Washington,” says the Cincinnati Enquirer, oneness of America and Canada in the common pur- poses of democracy. Japan will learn at first hand how strong are the bonds that bind the United States and Britain's strongest and most progressive depend- ency. “It is well that this has come about, this intimate opportunity for the world to realize that the North American continent holds a people kindred in blood, united in general interests, devoted to the same ideals. “For one hundred years this bond of friendly asso- ciation has been developed and strengthened. Today no sovereignty on the face of the earth seriously could menace the well-being of either the United States or Canada, They stand together. Their destinies are entwined. They are marching toward the same goal. understand Canada; Canada understands bat a scarcity of women that puts them in a position There are no spikes on top of the fence which divides of power in civilized life. Numbers count against you /the physical boundary between the two nations. It is im everything except the exercise of force—that is,/ either war or government. This indispensable person ean generaily get what she wants; the superfluous per- son must take whatever others are willing that he should have, When women are scarce and men are superabun-| dant, each woman becomes indispensable and each man superfluous. When men are scarce and women su- perabundant, each individual woman tends to become; guperfiuous and a mere man to become more or less indispensable. It was not in Massachusetts, where women have long outnuinbered men, but in Wyoming, where women are scarce and men cheap and abun-! dant, that women first came into a position of power) in public affairs. Of course the question of indispensability or super- fluity is not a matter of numbers alone. Something depends upon the opportunities and openings. In other words, in the balance of demand and supply,| the demand is quite as important as supply. Utah, for example, more women could be absorbed fgto the: social system without saturating it, that is Without becoming superfluous, than was possible in other states. This explains why Utah followed close-| ly er Wyoming in giving women power, in spite of} the large number of women. Again, where the indus- tries of the state are largely indoor rather than out-| door, as is the case in Massachusetts, women are prac- tically as useful as men. In such a state more wom-| en can be absorbed before the saturation point than|? ‘would be possible in an agricultural or mining state. This may explain why women in Massachuretts have had more influence on public life than in the older} states of the south, Entirely apart from numbers, and the domestic op- portunities furnished by Utah in the past, and-the in- dustrial opportunities furnished by M chusetts in the present, there has to be considered the charm and appeal of the better sex. That inherent goodness in ‘woman which has disarmed the male and made him treat her well, even when he had the power to do oth- erwise, will probably inhibit the women from abusing their power when they get it. Iam willing to take my chances of merciful treatment, no matter how much power the women get. ee AMBASSADORS OF STATES. “The conference of the governors in its thirteenth session,” remarks the New York Tribune, “‘can point to a not inconsiderable record of achievement, but it has before it an immensely larger opportunity for fur- ther usefulness. In purely voluntary fashion, and with only moral influence, it may serve the purpose which statesmen of Calhoun’s school imputed to the senate of the United States—namely, that of beng a congress of ambassadors of the states. “There are many useful things which such an am- bassadorial body may accomplish. Almost every state has done or has tried to do things that other| states have not undertaken. It is profitable for the inexperienced to hear about them and about their suc- cess or failure. Then there is the standardization of the law and practice in matters of interstate inter- est, the number of which, by the way, is constantly increasing. “For example, uniformity of laws and ‘practice is needed in the control of traffic on the highways. Years ago the matter was negligible. Highway laws were of the most primitive description, and interstate traf- fic was the merest fraction of what it is today. Now! there are elaborate codes concerning the speed, the| lighting, and what not of motor vehicles, and these too often vary materially between adjoining states. “To drive from New Haven, Conn., to Richmond, Va., is to traverse seven states, besides the District| of Columbia, and thus be successively subjected to seven different highway codes. A traveler might break the law in one state for doing what it was quite legal for him to do an hour before. Relief from the vexa-| tion of such a diversity of law/and practice is to be| found in co-operation and uniformity among the states. And the same question of uniformity presents itself in many cases.” | —_—o—_——_____ | TASTES IN WAR. Frederick Palmer in his “Folly of Nations” says: “I used to share the New Yorker's feelings that there must be something wrong with' the Chicagoan who ate pie for breakfast, though, now that I have been! about the world and have learned incidentally that I was in error about the Chicagoan, I do not see why one should not eat pie or cake, or live eels for break- fast if one’s digestion finds either agreeable. : “Since they have learned how delectable they arc, the English speaking peoples have ceased to look down on the French for eating frog's legs, though the French addiction, to snails—which lead quite as healthy lives as oysters or clams—-still leaves me a trifle suspicious of French character. I do not like! snails. Perhaps I do not like them bocause I was not brought up to like them. | “To one who thinks that these references to the t In old] * | ampton i | There not improbable that one day the peoples of. the two countries may march under a common standard, pledged in a common allegiance to the institutions and principles of the world’s superdemocracy. “These thoughts are induced by Sir Robert Bore den’s recent unofficial announcement to all the world that the interests of the Dominion and the United States are Indissoluble. He declares that the two countries peculiarly are held to promote and advance the ideals which have developed through Anglo-Saxon evolution until today the nations of the world are asked to subscribe to them as the only real assurance of international peace.” 2 wheat Ea CALVIN COOLIDGE’S EXAMPLE. A news note in one of the Washington newspapers contained the follow: 3 ident Coolidge left yesterday for his orthampton, Mass., to participate in mu- al elections, His absence will prevent his attend- nee today at the joint session of congress for deliv- ery of President Harding’s address, but it was said that the president has been consulted and given his approval of Mr. Coolidge’s departure.’’ To which the Washington Star,adds: “Mr. Cool idge could not have set a better example. . True, the electicn is of a municipal character, and he is vice president of the United States, occupied with matters of great national moment. It so happens, too, that in absence from town falls on a day set apart for a function of importance cn Capitol Hill.- “Still, Mr. Coolidge made the*right decision. North- his home, and as a citizen he js deeply in- terested in good government for the town. Hence should improve every opportunity to express himself at the polls on that subject. . “A phrase that reflects severely on our citizenship and appears too often in election reports is this: ‘A light vote was cast.’ “A light vote should never be cast. A heavy vote is always due. There should be no ‘off years.’ Every eontest for office, from a mayoralty to the presidency of the United States, should bring every person with the right to vote to the polls, “Those voters who forget election day, or ignore it for some engagement of a private character, do them- selves no credit, but public interests harm. They are in duty bound to go to the polls and plump for can- didates they think are best qualified for public trust, and for policies they think of most value to the pub- lic. Neglecting suffrage ought to operate as a for- feiture of suffrage.” ee GERMANY’S TRUE ECONOMIC STATUS. “The latest reports of American consular agents and travelling trade attaches, published in the admir- able bulletin of the department of commerce,” notes the Chicago News, “give the following facts respect- ing German industry and trade: There are now about 250,000 unemployed workers in the republic; the number would be larger if the government did not require manufacturers so to reduce their working time as to provide ngt less than 24 hours’ employ- ment per week to the least skilled of their men; trade has been declining rather than improving since Au- gust; imports are now exceeding exports, and the ad- verse balance in foreign commerce is growing; the trend of commodity prices is upward, and wages are not keeping pace with prices. Finally, Germany’s | budget deficit for the current year is estimated at 110,000,000,000 marks. The value of a mark was quoted yesterday at .365 of a cent. “Such data as these are*eloquent. There is no propaganda in them. Germany’s apparent ‘prosper- ity’ looks like ‘calamity prosperity,’ in the sense that goods of all kinds are being grabbed up by those who have marks in their pockets only because they fear the mark may become literally and absolutely worthless. “An economic and financial collapse in Germany, such as Mr. Vanderlip predicts, would affect all Eu- rope and the United States as well.” —0. STEPPING INTO GERMANY’S SHOES. “We have just emerged from a war which was to end war,” observes the Manchester Guardian. “It has, in fact, broken the power of the three greatest military states. But the threat of war is hydra- headed. Today you cut off one head, you cut off three, and tomorrow there is another grinning at you. Yesterday the storm broke in Europe, and already to- day the clouds are seen to gather in the east. Yes- terday the North sea saw the encounter of the fleets; today it is the Pacific ocean which is the point of danger. There is no question of any immediate peril to peace; only the necessity of guarding against its coming. There are the usual causes at work—fear, ambition, the so-called need of expansion for popu. Intion and for commerce. It is just the German story over again with Japan in Germany’s shoes, and our business is to see that the parallel goes no farther. the is = conflict of inter-s- and a conflict of claims.” jon parade of costumes from A Premet, Doeulllet, Cheruit, Martial and Armand, Jenny, Potret, Worth, and Jean Patou made the new revue, “Paris In the Air,” at the Casino, one of unusual interest from the fashion viewpoint.

It shows very plainly that the city of Casper must unite and stick to a North and South road, and the Yellowstone Highway, and of course we shall also have to unite on the’ Lincoln Highway ac ross state highway, but we should unite on these threo highways, and stick to them, for we cannot spread ourselves out all over the state with these federal pro- jects for the government will not atan@ for {t.

In other words, for each dollar contributed by the state, the Federal government will contrib- Ute nearly $2.00. “We had hoped that in making up the formula of public land states that all government reservations in- cluding parks and national forests, presi be included, but there were a number of senators and members of brought out distinctly the fact that} rather at the hem, sind the skirt which hangs straight from the hip to hem with ful- ness laid into piaits in panel effect, Jenny is pushing the straight akirt . than the ciroular, but Paquin and Madeleine Vionnet are featuring the most exaggerated form of circular skirt.
