The wise ones among the bookies are not always right, but they preserve a good average. When the odds shift among the professionals it is a sign that they have sensed out the probable course of the voters on Election Day. They now | think the tide is turning in favor of the Democ- racy. That it should turn is beyond argument. “Nor- malcy” has done its perfect work for profiteers and privilege hunters. The load on the plain peo- ple grows; it does not lighten. Figures cannot lie, but liars can figure. They are busy doing so, but the mounting costs force the truth. The great bulwark of the money takers is the United States Senate.

The designers, the erstwhile dictators of style, are about ready to concede their blunder. The long skirt does not take and can not be forced. ‘The reason assigned is that American women re- fuse to be tethered and are showing a hard-boiled spirit of independence in demanding—and getting —the more comfortable and hygienic. shorter 5 A large department store here is reported to be ordering skirts for next season nine inches up from the ground, a good two inches shorter than the demand of the City Federation of Women’s Clubs. Good for the women! Good for the massed power of organized and united common sense! More power to them! It begins to look as though the men might have to look to their laurels as leaders and independents. JUDGES TO VOTE FOR. HREE Justices of the Supreme Court deserve support of the voters in Manhattan and the Bronx next Tuesday. They are Justices Leh- man, McGoldrick and Marsh, all of whom have served creditably. Judge Johnstone of the Court of General Ses- | sions also deserves the support of all who desire to have the bench free from partisanship. Magistrate McGeehan’s record entitles him to the promotion he seeks as City Court Judge. It happens that four of these men are Demo- crats. Tylohave not been endorsed by the Demo- cratic Srganization. But they have made good records and the voters can not go wrong in voting for the five without regard to party label—or lack of it. fo far Italy seems to find the Tin cheerful wearing. | THE REPUBLIC OF TURKI\. HE uninformed will be apt to laugh at the news from Angora proclaiming Turkey as a Republic and reducing the Sultan to the relig- ious office of the Caliphate. Yet it is not an im- possible gesture at the unattainable. The basic theory of Mohammedism is Democ- racy. Once a True Believer, the meanest slave, the lowest peasant may aspire to the highest power. adventurers who embraced the faith and became masters. None of these left long lines to burden the nation, which has held together without me- chanical industry, without privilege—with no other binding than keen swords and an equal chance for all. Much accursed, the Ottomans have had a mar- velous history. The followers of Mohammed in Turkey, Persia and India have, more than one, earned the name of Magnificent. They come and gO across the sunlit Orient in gorgeous array, Ottomans, Suleimans, Akbars and Arungezbes, militant, wonderful. We forget the might of the Moslem hosts, the equality of their religion, the intensity of their devotion, the simplicity and temperance of their lives.

To the EAttor of The Evening World: I have been oonsidering George Harvey's famous question tn the light of recent serials in your columns written by @ member of the soulless I refer to “Barbara's Beaux’’ and another serial by the same author which preceded it. In both cases the 80 called heroine was a girl of ap- parent goo: qualities and refinement who deliberately used every mun she met to further her own ambitions, and did it with @ calculating coldness and hypocrisy which, as the autho: was herself a woman, must have been true to life. Neither of these woman- created heroines has or had any sou whatever, nor any heart, either They had both eyes on the main chance all the time and while they both sought love and romance they took mighty good care to sell them- selves to the highest bidder, Barbara's predecessor got engaged married, in their Yonkers home, was 8 NEAR MYS-!, 9 millionaire of middle age and did TERY.

MAD HATTER. Married Woman Workers. To the Wdltor of The Evening World, I trust that in the interest of hun- dreds of other unemployed girls, be- sides myself, you will kindly publish this letter. There are to-day in thie city hun dreds of married women working Among my personal acquaintances are two young women married and earn- ing salaries sufficient to support a family.

Yet everywhere em ployers are offering experience: workers like myself $50-$75 a month If the married women would sta at home where they belong and give the single girs a chance to get po sitions, conditions would change for the better.

UNCOMMON SENS: By John Blake (Coprrignt, 1088. Wy Rte Babe) JUDGING VALUES. Said the President and General Manager of a great pub- lishing house: “My capital is my judgment. Because it pays me in- terest amounting to about one hundred thousand dollars a year, some of my friends regard me as one of the idle rich. “They think that this capital, which is all I have in the world, represents no investment on my part. They imagine that I came into the world with it, as the child of a wealthy man comes into the world with a fortune all ready for him. “They imagine, too, because I sit in an office with a clean desk and am never bending over books and papers or giving orders in a loud tone of voice when they come to see me that I have nothing to do. “Pretty soft for old Bill,’ they say. ‘Drawing a big salary and loafing most of the time because he was born with e ability to pick good men,’ “But I wasn’t born with the ability to pick good men. Nobody is. And I wasn't born with the ability to sift out good business investments from bad, and to settle problems of this concern as they came up. “I have made just as big an investment in that judg- ment as any man does in his business. It is capital, that is true, but it has been saved and earned. “I began as a kid selling papers on the street in Chicago and I learned a good deal about human nature there. way, I found out that selling pa) Any- re wasn’t any business to follow and that training of some kind was necessary if I was to make anything out of myself. “So I got a job as an office boy that paid me less than I made selling papers, but taught me more about business, “I kept my eyes open.

These are my capital. And be- cause I use it intelligently I am able to run this business well enough to earn a very decent salary.” they are really paying money for the upport and upkeep of any immunity fund, then we can readily understand iy they have no regard for law or fo itself.
