The suffragists quest of a great
woman leader and "monoy-gettcr" to
flnanco campaigns seems practical
enough, but It would bo much bettor If
the emphasis were laid on personality
rather than on efllclency. The woman
who Is gentle, dignified and Ignorant of
political machinery usually gets overy
, thing she wants. Why not a country
mouse for State chairman of tho suf
fragists? It Is becauso men aro sick
of the tricky old methods of well
financed politics that they are turning to
their women to restore the unsophisti
cated sentiment of pure motives to their
civlo life.
Judgo Hook, of Kansas City, very
frankly explains his speed In deciding
that the railroad wage-Increase law is
unconstitutional. It Is simply to let tho
case go to the Supremo Court as soon as
It reconvenes, December 4. Precedent
must again go by the board and spued bo
the cry if tho highest court Is to ad
vance the case before others on Its cal
endar and pass on It before It recesses
on December 22. There will be nine days,
then, to amend the law in Congress if
the lower court Is sustained and a strlko
on January 1 thus precipitated. That
would be about t.wce the time that was
required to pass the bill. What amend
ment would be needed could not bo
learned until the grounds upon which
the decision was sustained were an
nounced. But by that time, presumably,
the bill to make a strike unlawful before
investigation by the Board of Mediation
will have become a law. That explains
why tho brotherhoods oppose the bill.
They aro prepared to strike against the
Supreme Court. Are they prepared to
strike against the President?
When the railroad strlko was
threatened in the summer the Navy De
partment began to make inquiries about
th way to get steel from Pittsburgh to
the 'Brooklyn navy yard so that work on

the tying up of freight trains. It dis
covered that there Is no waterway to

AWAKE AND UEADY
CHICAGO twenty years ago was one of
tho most enterprising and alert cities
on tho continent. Tho whole community
was nwrtko and boosting the city In every
posslblo way, Thoy had a Two Million
Club, which worked early and lato to
attract population and business. Tho
two-mllllon mark' was passed botwecn
1000 and 1910. Btnco then effort has
lagged. Indllfcronco has displaced enthu
siastic Interest, mid the local newspaper!
aro doing llielr best to nrouso tho com
munity. Tho Trlbuno Is bowalllng tho
feeling of popular distrust which Is keep
ing tho big men of tho city from Interest
ing themselves actively In Its betterment
It says;
This suspicion has driven men of
ability awny from any Idea of Inter
esting themselves In city nffalrs unless
thoy do Interest thnmselvcs for their
own good Tho result Is n paralysis
of public effort. Wo submit to vilo
conditions because the city energy Is
dormant.
Tho city Is still growing, howovor, un
der tho force of tho momentum ncqulred
during tho years of nlertneSs. Its esti
mated population In 1D1G was 2,447,000.
Tho census of 1910 gavo It 2,18ri,000. In
1900 It had 1,698,000, and In 1890 it hud
1,099,000, surpassing Philadelphia In that
year by only 53,000. Wo had 1,293,000 In
1900 and l,ri49,000 In 1910. Tho Intost
ofllclnl cstlmato puts our population at
1,725,000, but this Is supposed to bo far
short of tho actual number of people hero.
Snmo optimists insist that wo havo so
nearly 2,000,000 now that before a local
Two Million Club could bo organl7cd and
put to work tho goal for which It was
headed would bo reached.
Philadelphia today is whero Chicago
was In 1890, alert, aggrcsslvo and forging
nhcad. A feollng of confidence. Is swell
ing in the breast of every business man.
Political leaders aro doing something to
co-operato with business loaders, and
every one Is looking Into tlio futuro with
tho certain hopo tlmt this will bo tho
second city In tho Union beforo tho cen
sus of 1930 is tak"n.
Economic forces are fighting with
us. Wo aro virtually on tho ocean. Wo
havo a great river stretching ninety
miles to tho sea, both banks of which
aro part of our harbor. Wo nro con
nected with tho Intorlor by several lines
of railroad. Tho minds of American
manufacturers aro now turned toward
foreign markets. Our port can offer fa
cilities of shipment which they can find
nowhero else. Wo know it nnd wo havo
sot out to let tho rest of tho country
know. Tho futuro belongs to us, and wo
aro reaching out our hands to take that
which is within our grasp.
Let Chicago sleep, It It will. Philadel
phia Is awake and up and doing.
TAXATION THAT HANDI
CAPS THE CITY
THE Mayor purposes to ask tho Gen
oral Assembly to pass a law which
will exempt from Stnto taxation all bonds
Issued by tho city. Thoy aro already ex
empt from local taxation.
There- Is no valid argument against
such a law. Other great States have such
statutes. They aro defended on grounds
of Bound public policy. Public rovenuo
derived from taxation on public Improve
ments relieves no ono from tho burden
of taxation. It is about time that Penn
sylvania adoptod tho policy which com
mends Itself to the best financial Judg
ment in tho country.
IS THERE A "RELIGIOUS
VOTE"?
THERE Is much menn dodging nnd
ducking nbout In connection with "re
ligion In politics." Frank talks with
Catholics nnd Protestants and Jews prove
to the satisfaction of any fair mind that
thoro Is no such thing as a "religious
vote." An analysis of tho election re
sults, taking them by counties and cities
throughout the country, shows that the
denominations and sects are as ovenly
split as tho so-called classes. Every one
knows that there aro millionaire Social
ists and poverty-stricken Tories, and
there are the same differences in men of
the same creed.
Tho teaching of the Christian Churqh
is that the magistrates, even when they
are bad, are to be obeyed, "The scribes
and tho Pharisees sit in Moses's Beat: all
therefore whatsoever they bid you ob
serve, that observe and do; but do not ye
after their work: for they say and do
not." Tho early Christians seem to have
felt that the power of their Church was
so Invincible as to make political read
justment by them' -of negligible value.
The magistrates were merely negativo
forces. They were able to prosecute the
apostle or had to bow to the people's
reverence for him. In either case the
apostle won. Martyrdom helped his
cause. And the power of Caesar was un
dermined by men who obeyed his mate
rial laws and conserved their strength
for a spiritual conflict. It Is the political
moves against the Established Church
that keep England's Church established.
The nonconformist leaders asked for the
live bread of faith, but their followers
gave them the dead stone of votes.
Jt would not matter much if any
Church as a whole were made an "Issue"
in politics, because the movement soon
would kill Itself by its own bigotry. The
mischief Is in the talk of "factions"
within the church bodies. Calculations
aro made by politicians about what ''ex
tremhits" and "liberals" will do. as if
religious bodies were themselves engaged
In politics of the,lr own and were ready
to use any weapon, even the civlo. politics
about them, to gain their ends. Worst
of all, the whole thing is considered "a
deUcate aubject" among well-educated
people, which Is another way of saying
that they are perfectly willing to let
bosses use bigotry with the uneducated
liaaJBS.'18 w Mw nearw content.

MEDICINAL VALUE OF OPIUM
To the Editor of the Evening Ledger:
Sir I natlco that some Individual who
signs himself V. A. Malgnen seems to know
all about opium and Us derivatives. Also
thnt tho physician could obliterate these
drugs from IiIb use. I would therefore like
to Inform this writer that opium along with
a few other drugs Is tho most Important
drug In the U. S. pharmacopoeia and that
we could hardly get nlong without it.
Ilelng a physician, I would also like to state
that no other drug than opium has such
efTlcadous physiological actions, and If the
laws were made strong enough so that It
could be kept out of the hhnds of the lay
men this and other drugs could bo put to
their proper use. On the other 'hand, the

SUFFRAGE IN THE CAMPAIGN
To the Editor of the Evening Ledger:
Sir Regarding the recent campaign
waged by the woman's party In the west
ern States against the Democratic party, I
want to say Just thlss that at the conven
tion of that party held In Chicago during
the week of the Republican and Progres
siva conventions the most notable feature
was the fact that the woman's party con
tended for one definite object, namely, the
elimination of a party which held control
In both houses of Congress and which. In
turn, was subject to the Influence of its
leader. President Wilson, and which per
sistently blocked the passage pf the Susan
B. Anthony amendment At national woman
suffrage before the Judiciary Commjttee of
the House of Representatives, thereby
thwarting Its passage through Congress and
Its subsequent ratification by the necessary
three-quarters majority of our State legis
latures, So far as Its failure to pass by
the State initiative and referendum method
Is concerned. It Is scarcely likely to meet
with the approval of an unenlightened un
appreclattve, machine-led mass of people, to
whom the mere conception of the exercise
of the' franchise Is an enigma. The Indi
vidual vote for suffrage was always cast
by the mn In whom the sense of American
ism was uppermost . On the contrary,
what the Congressional Union expects, and
demands, is that Congress submit tho rati
fication of our national amendment to our
respective Stato Legislatures.
Artd, with suffrage effepted In twelve
States, submitted to the electorate of eight
een States, which proves that Legislatures
hv approved of eqUtU suffrage. It does not

NATIONAL POINT OF VIEW
Ono thing that seems to have been dem
onstrated by tho West Is that the Hon.
Kllhu Root, oT Now York, would not have
been elected. Chicago Evening Post

Despite each and every objection to a de
parture from the present electoral system,
we may expect to hear such a change urged
with greater Insistence as the principle of
popular rule becomes more firmly Imbedded
In the minds of voters. What we are now
experiencing, it becomes more and more evi
dent, Is a struggle between the elements that
would keep this nation a republic and those
that would transform it Into a pure democ
racy. That Is the fundamental Issue be
neath all the agitation for direct elections,
the Initiative and referendum, and so on.
