OLITICIANS of both parties are reported to have! devised a echeme by which to defeat the direct primaries bill at Albany. The plan provides for combination of Tammany Hall on the Demo- cratic side with the Old Quard following on the} ther party, therefore, is to be | saddled with res; t for violation of cam- | paign pledges. The pot and the kettle are to stand together. The | blaeknesa is to be mutual and there is to be neither crimination nor | recrimination in the campaign to come. With this sort of politica the public has long been familiar. It has for its object the defeat of popular control of legislation by an | evasion of party responsibility. The argument is that if the de- ‘mand of the people for direct primaries be defeated by a combina- tion of both parties, there will be no way for the voters to resont | it at the next election. | “The American woman 1s the final power to be reckoned with to-day, For the American man governe the world and the American woman governs him.” Lilan Bell, the brilliant author of “Love Affaire of an Old Maid" and other nov.is and essay pays this frank trib. ute to her country women, “I have a tremendous interest gust now tm the Am confease:i Miss Hell, “because I believe she {s passing through @ crisis, Crises are not accidents; they are the results of the unconscious, eubconsctous or quite de- berate unrest of years.

But if her poor ttle brain tried ¢o stir, if she asked him about ‘business secrets,’ he mildly but firmly changed ¢he subject. “Now she has arisen on her throne and looked the man full In the eyes and made him know that ‘the time has come to talk of many things.’ “Plas added M Bell, with a emile, “but the pig part of dumanity can grow wings, and women will show the way.
