Ilwrtoburjc, April 10. CharRlnic thnt
the Ilcpubllcnn party of Pennsylvania
it the lant scwlon of the Leirlslaturc
dtctivfd the women jf the state by
leadtnfr them to believe that it was sup
porting the suffrage cause, and then
(tudiously avoided the enactment for
Ifginlntlon making it possible for women
(0 rote, the Democratic state committee
TMterday demanded of Governor Sproul
the ronvening of a 'special session of
the Legislature as soon, as the federal
Mtial suffrage amendment Is ratified
and enactment of needed legislation
to enable women to take advantage of
the federal constitutional amendment.
The committee met in special ses
sion here for the purpose of opening
the way under the rules of the party
for the recognition of women in the
party's councils and authorized Law
rence H. Hupp, state chairman, to
dmignate a standing committee or ap
point a special committee to encourage
the women of the state In organizing
themselves for the advancement .of the
gorernmental principles to which the
party is pledged. .
The committee last night announced
the organization of a women's state
committee.
Mrs. George B. Tulladge. of Philadel
phia, has been chosen acting; chairman
and Mrs. L. H. Budd, of Philadelphia,
is acting secretary ana treasurer.
Other women on' the committee are
Mrs. John J. McCormlck, of Bridge
port, and Mrs. Kdward Beecher Flnck,
Mrs. Edward Cassatt, Mrs. Wynne
.Tames, Mrs. T. H. Lane, Mrs. Edward
P. Davis and Miss Margaret Klingel
smith, all of Philadelphia.
Democratic leaders here yesterday put
no faith in the expressed belief of Wil
liam I. Schafler, attorney general, that
he has found a way to give the vote to
women without enabling legislation, and
It was said that the expected opinion
of the attorney general could not cover
the neglect of the Legislature, and that
this fact was recognized by the Repub
lican leaders. .
There was a large attendance at the
meeting of the committee, but none of
the nineteen anti-Palmer members was
present. A resolution offered by Bruce
F Sterling, chairman of the Palmer
campaign committee, indorsed tlie
t'nited States district attorney for
President, and it was adopted with
cecrs. ,

8ees Profiteering In P. R. T. Rentals
To th EiHttr a. IS Kvrntno PufcHe Lritatr:
Sir The'nub of the street railway
problem seems to be the burden, of the
rentals for the use of the franchises. Jf
we could besrln again with new fran
chises It would be easy. No one seems
to sea how we can be freed without no
unlawful confiscation.
As a layman In such matters, I'ralse a
question. Is not a franchlso property?
And when property rights Interfere with
the development of'ths state In nny of
Its branches. Is not the law of eminent
domain applicable? Why cannot these
ancient franchise rights be condemned,
a proper appraisal be made, and pay
ment given that the city may come back
to Its own?
.The digest given in today's KvkniMo
runuo LEDdKn telling of rentals above
70 per. cent In two Instances and over
40 per cent In several more Indicates an
outrageous extortion. It looks like
profiteering of a scandalous character.
There, can be no equity In their proper
ties Justifying such a charge. Why can
we not see such properties condemned
in the city's Interest? I want tn know,
AIlTHUrt C. BALDWIN.
Philadelphia, April 8.
Thinks We're Playlrjo the Ostrich
To iht KAlior of the Evtntna Ituhlto T,itnr
Sir Hero Is "how It sfrlkes me." If
your filial paragraph, approving the
Senate's failure to nags tin universal
military training bill Is your own opin
ion. I think you, like most of the
American people, are still playing the
ostrich, with your head busied In the
snnds of the old "three thousand miles
of water between ua and Europe" de
lusion. Judging by the late war, the
3000 miles doesn't count much.
You're right England saw no need
for a large trained army-ss, at the
opening of the war she lost in a short
tlmo hundreds of thousand of the finest
men of .the country. We, luckily, had
a long time to prepare and even then
lost .many thousands through unpre-
S a redness. Why should the next war
e different.? Or perhaps you are one
of those who think the "old vets" can
go again to bat.
' For further opinion on universal
training, consult almost any ex-army
man i or the majority vote of the
American Legion.
How does this strike you?

It .will seem a simple thing to you merely mak

But in Church hospitals all over the country sick

In scores of children's homes supported by the

In China where there is one doctor to every 400,000
people (America has one to every 712) the Church's
medical forces will be strengthened and encouraged.
