THE WOMEN VOTERS ARE MAKING A GOOD BEGINNING But They Must Acquire Political Power After the Manner of Men Before Their Wishes Will Cempel Respect TT HKKMS te be the impression of the members of the League of Women Voters new meeting in Harrlsburg that the problem of government Involves something a little mere Important than nn elTert of the outs te get in nnd of the Ins te stay where they are. They even went se far ns te nsk a lie publican and a llemecrat le explnin te them the differences between the tariff views of the two parlies. The Democrat, who is a member of Con gress, attacked the pwlslen of the l-'erd-ne.i Met.'unibcr Tariff Law; and the He pub'iian. who once sat in Congress, defended the .same law. Yet as every one knows theic is no radical difference between the Fnidney-McCuuibcr lnv and the t'nderwoed law. There arc differences In detail, but both laws are pro pre tecihe in tlie bread sense The pciiim rats, in practice, helicw In pleleitii duties en tin. thing:, which I hey make or raise and low duties or no duties at all en the things thev buy: wlu'c the l'epllbllcuiis lflcp in fiee timle or low duties en the things they buy and high duties en the things they se'l. Tlie protec pretec tee duties in the 1'erdney -.MeCumber law en things produced in Democratic States or Democratic districts were voted for by the Democratic representatives from these dis tticts or States. The two speakers dodged the task of de linlng the tariff dlffcieuce between tlie two parties for the ery simple rtnsen that It is impossible. s,i,. u tcrm of the higher mathematics, te define the itnlsiblc or the nen-elstent. and u disutsUm of the higher mathematics en such an occasion would have been innppieprlate. As tlie women can tell a hawk fmm a handsaw, net only when the wind i; south seuth erly but when ir Is north-northwest ns well, they doubtless get the lufetmntlnt) for which they were seeking, though it was conveyed te them by indirection. Intuition, vliieh serves 'them well In their ordinary activities, cannot have failed them en this occasion. The League is nen-partinn because its purpose is te nsi.t its members in qualify ing themselves for Intelligent political action. They have informed themselves en the proe pree proe ecs(.s by which nominations are made and candidates are elected. They tire new seeking further information en the way lnws are made and en the prin ciples which tlie lavs seek te formulaic. If evetv woman in the State weie as curious about these mattets as aie the lead en in the organisatien, we should seen have n body of women voter much better quali fied te ait intelligently than the body of men voter. They would dl-eever t!it in muiie .pal affairs the pretense that a Hepi.blic.in should be elected rather than a Denmciat i pure bunk, for there i neither Republicanism nor Democracy in street-paving or geed schools or water supply or police protection or fire fighting. It would also be apparent te them thai in the State Cieveriimcnt the main issue Is clliciencj, and that smh differences as there aie between (be Itepubli'nn nnd Dem Dem ecratlc parties .relate te qutstiens of na tional policy, with which the States .nnnet luy themselves. rnfertiinaiely. the numii"r u w.uiii a who aie interesting themselves In thes,. matters is net large.

AN AMERICAN MAFIV WITH (he institution of legnl notion agnlnst the Ku Klux Klan In Knusns. the ense of this highly ergiinircil and virulent association of what might he called Ameri can lllnc; Itnnders passes te a new phase. Governer Allen has done 11 most courageous thing I11 attempting by legal methods te ex pose the lenders of the Klan nnd lmnlsli them from the State. Uut he is compelled te rest his appeal upon a technicality. Our legal and political philosophy Is taxed te meet a situation thnt is dangerous only because of the spirit that it engenders in great masses of the people. Thus, were the kleagles te go en ns they nre going nt the business of national dis ruption we should seen find the United Slates ns divided In mind as (he ltnlknn used te be when they were the breeding place for F.iirnpc.in war. Ter It is the habif of people le meet violence with violence. d the danger of the situation created by the Ku Klux Klnn cannot lie fully appreciated until one Is reminded of the rapid organiza tion of opposing groups capable of being quite ns ruthless as ihe marauding klnns inen. When it Is remembered thai this icxivnl et kiiownethlnghm en n scale never before dreamed of Is due te the desire of a few men te get easy money from the illiterate, vicious nnd gullible, nnd that it was brought about deliberately by methods of intensive sales r unship ordinarily applied only In the field of wildcat oil stocks, the whole affair seems us fantastic ns It is perileu--. Aggressive Ignorance is a hard thing le deal vith. Ami the Ku Klux Is ignorance net only ng-gres-ive hut savage. If vve should read that a Kieiichmnn. living In -eUtnry grandeur after n wild Might upward from poverty, and muttering strange phrases nnd wearing comic-opera regalia and a mask, had called himself Em peror and was supported by multitudes sworn te de his bidding nnd intent upon establishing themselves above the Govern ment and the courts of law. wv should feel naturally that France was approaching a state of mental nnd splntuul collapse. Hut that sort of thing gees newaday in the Fnlted States. If we were te learn some ueruing that bankers or labor lead'rs or political radicals had denned masks nnd selected hiding plnees nnd turned te mob-law lyiiehlngs and Heggings te assert their power and as part of it scheme of political domi nance, vve should shout for tlie tinny. Yet the Governors of two States have virtually admitted that (hey find the Kluv. deliberately interfering in the administrative Hffalrs of their offices and laboring te frustrate the operation of law and te deny the; funda mental rights of citizenship in the Fulled States. Ill tlie last two years $i(l persons have been lynched or Hogged In the southern and 'ciuihwesirrn sections of the country. The question naturally nrises whether the Klan. ergnui.ifd te split the ('tilted States into warring, linte-intlr.nnd factious, has a legal or moral right te the ,.. of thn mm s.

Finest Detective Werk Ever Dene A Pennsylvania Man Who Put It Over By CIEOROK NOX McVAIN SPECULATION nlrendy Is afoot as te the probable cost of the Ilnll-Mllls murder trial if the celebrated case ever reaches the trial stage. , Whatever the cost, It cannot eemparp with (lint of a trial whose principals I Inter viewed In Dawsen City, in the Klendike, twenty -one years age. , Before the criminal was executed the rase had plied tip $150,000 expenses for the Canadian Government. Witnesses were summoned from all parts of Alaska, the United States nnd England. Seme nf these witnesses were held in Dawsen City for n sear nt Gevernmeut ex pense. The detective traveled GOOO miles by :eg sled, and Inspector Senrth, of the mounted police, IfiOO miles. The prosecution levenled the greatest and most patient and persistent piece of detec tive work possibly ever done in Canada or the United States. A Pennsylvania detective, tee, was the here of this remarkable trial. While in Dawsen City in 1001 I inter viewed both the murderer and the detective, PHILIP RALPH MrGUIKE, the detec tive, was born in Mendvllle, Pa. He drifted West, became n United States Secret Service man. then fin Inspector of police in Minneapolis, and later, ns the spe cial representative of n big surety and guarantee company of New Yerk, went te Alaska. He located several defaulters and forgers, whom he finally landed in prison, Early in January. IM'0. McGnlie learned thnt a personal friend, llulph Clnysein, had disappeared, together with two ether men. en the winter trail between Dawsen and Bennett Take. Tlie Canadian .Mounted Police took up the renrch for the missing men. Tliey arrested several persons, but were compelled te let them go for want of evidence. All but one. h ninti mimed Geerge O'Brien. He hail been arrested while heading for Ben nett Lake, the only outlet from that vast country te the Southwest. , O'Brien had n bad record. He had been imprisoned in Hiniiiiighnni. England, his birthplace, for trying te kill a policeman. He hnd served two years in the leg prison nt Dawsen for robbery after he reached Alaska. Purely en suspicion, he was held for de velopments by the Canadian Mounted Police. DETECTIVE McGUIKE, en his way te Dawsen with a team of seven dogs, stepped at the mounted police station at Tagish and interviewed O'Brien. He told contradictory stories, mixed up with certain facts about where he had slopped en the trull and what he hnd done. McGulre went en down tlie trail nnd found O'Brien'N statements, true as te ills halting places. He did net tdl hew he bad tried te sell geld dust te people whom he met. Willie going along the trail McGulre found sonic oakweod borings from an inch auger. That first excited his suspicion. He al ready Vegurdcd O'Brien ns the murderer. He "mushed" back ISO miles te Tagish and examined O'Brien's sled, then held by the police. The heavy oak standards had been bored through, leaving orifices large enough te conceal $10,000 worth of gelel dust, after which they had been plugged up ugnin. They were empty when McGuire inspected them. There was then nothing te work en ex cept tlie fni't thnt Clnysen. with two com panions. Lynn Wallace Itelfe. a theatrical man, nnd Olc Olsen, a Government telegraph lineman, had disappeared. The men, by u process of elimination, had di'siippi-aied. he knew, somewhere en eight een mile's of the trail 'ictween Fert Selkirk and Hiitchilte. TO UNDEHSTAND the conditions under which McGuire wonted, it .mist be known that the ground ever the whole Alaskan country was snow-eevere'd te a depth of from two te three feet. The thermometer fiequentlv registered from At) te (ill below zero. The days arc short in vv inter nnd the nights, long. Snow in tlie Yuken country is light and feather. As the sun n-serls itself the snow sinks slowly, betraying ewery slight depression A man lying en the ground and running his. eye ecver a level surface, of unbroken snow can detect a irnil made in the snow, and hiildeii Mibseepiently bv another fnll, by l hose slight ilo.press.ions. Fer weeks and weeks .McGuire traveled ever this trail, lying down e-veiy few feet te run his eye- ever the flat shining surface, as long as daylight lasted. He made less than half a mile u day sometimes. After s.- vvee.ks of (his he Iiu-nicd n small trail leading from the read, which ran along the rivi'r bank, buck into the d(.nst. forest for si mile and a half. He found a deserted tent. Inside were 1000 pounds of goods stolen trem n scow, nn nx. and outside some partly consumed clothing. McGFIItE then went ba-'t te ihe main read. He knew there must lie another trail made by the tent elvvi'lleis. t Twe weeks mere of work en his hands quel knies in the snow followed. He made small brooms tmt of twigs, with which lie brushed the snow i in fully nwny from another feet-marked 1 1 ail. which led le the river. Here, en (he frozen surface of ilit .stream, he came upon a great lileteh of )r,, jt was bleed. Te eeiiuleusp the sleiy from this te the end. Mi-GiiIi-i' kept up his hunt ,,., hands anil knees. He found, hundreds of feet ap.irt, articles of wearing apparel and weapons. Se pa tiently did he work that he even found a pin. Tlii' murelerers hail killed the three men near ihe main (rail, elrngged their bodies, te the river nnd dumped them in nn air hole, which never froze, nin ihL. current eiirried them under the ice. Thev were siibsiuently found en sand burs fiem fifty te seventy-five miles farther down the river, when the ice went out in the spring. ,. , O'Brien wns linked up with the crime through the ax which the detective found near llie tent in thn direst. win j Dawsen had given it te him. The murderers, there; were- Unee of (hem, had lain In wait for (rnveleis along the lonely trull. , Thev hnd cut down lii'es ,,, line se they eeuld leek down the trail for n mile ami a half and see any one appmai'hiiig. Marks of his nx showed en th,. tiees. Later the man who gave it t O'Hricn teeegnized it and O I. Hen himself con fessed it wan his. The lent and the Klon Klen dike stove inside were identified ns belong ing In him.

M i NOW MY IDEA IS THIS! Daily Talks With Thinking Philadelphia en Subjects They Knew Best KATHARINE TUCKER On Hew Public Can Help in Measles' t Epidemic THE Philadelphia public can play -an im portant part in tlie epidemic of measles from which the city is new suffering it u will de intelligently what it eeuld and should de, says Miss Kiitherinc Tucker, superin tendent nf ihe Visiting Nurse Society et Philadelphia. "About three weeks age the situation with regard te measles in tlie eity become acute," suld Miss Tucker. "One of the most serious things about the whole busi ness is that the people de net seem elispesed te regard mensles ns anything mere Hum a children's disease and. therefore, will net take such precautions as wey weum in case of ether diseases no mere serious in themselves, but of which the public stands in greater fear. Should Call Physicians "The first thing le be done in case of even n suspicion of measles is te call in u physician immediately nnd (hen. equally important, te support tlie physician in reporting the ense. in onler that proper steps ngninsi infection of ether children may be taken. "Even intelligent persons nppaieutlynfsunie lhat measles enlv is one of (he unavoidable evils of childhood. If these persons eeuld have seen, as we have, a perfectly healthy babv climb ever the bed of his little brother, who had measles, and then see that baby die three iluys Inter, they might accord (he seriousness te the; disease which is its due. It is net necessarily in the seriousness ei measles itself that the elanger lies, but in tlie verv great possibilities of serious com plications, especially these of the kidneys, eyes, enra and bronchial region. "There five (we great things which the public, ns n whole, does net ele. In the til si place, the physicians nre net culled in premptlv in case of measles, which is n liighlv infectious disease, mid. in (lie second place'", there secmn te be little if any sons,, of responsibility fell toward ether chihlicn nnd toward the community. Nurses Find Many Cases "The nurses Vim! an astonishingly huge number of erases of measles in tlie rounds of their ether duties, and these, of course, nre luinieiliiitely reported and proper atten tion is given te them nnd the danger nf infection reeliicrd te a minimum. Fer example, in one short street there were two cases of measles: within u few days praetie-nlly every house in that street had one or mole cases, mil out of the fweiliv fweiliv edd eases, only two bad been reported. By the time there were five crepe sign hang ing in that street the neighborhood wm, nreused. but Severn! lives: hail been taken which might possibly luive been saved by proper action, "All that is needed of tlm public is intel ligent e.ej-operatien. There is no use of becoming unduly frightened, for. if the enscs nre taken in time, the chances nre oil in favor of complete recovery. In such enses people must, show nn interest nnd n will ingness te de what they run te help control (he situation, (jiiarautine must be main tained nnd the Interest and co-operation of nil must be secured. If this is done there is little danger idlher te the patient or te ether children. "As I luivi; said, measles is one of the serious diseases solely because of the possi bility of complications. If no complicntieiiH set In. it is merely whnt se many censleler it le lie a children's disease. Complications Usually Prc rut able "Measles eliffers radically from such diseases (is rhiekeiipex or mumps, Most of the complications which uiaku measles a disease te Im promptly reported and I'nrr fully watched ere readily preventable if taken nt nnre. but (lie possibilities of these com plicatiens nre always serious. This is iimde ihe mere dlflieult te handle by (he atti tude of such a large proportion of the publle flint mensles really need net b taken very seriously nor ciucd for le the extent of ninny ether diseases.

I knew thnt many persons feel n sense of social disgrace nt such procedure, but this is n feeling which is entirely unwarranted. It is net nearly se serious a matter as ninny persons thing, nor docs it involve the inconvenience which it is generally believed is tbe case. Protecting the Schools "Measles are chiefly infectious through the discluiiges of the nose and threat, and this is carefully guarded against by physi cians and nurses. Anether very important point is that the child who has beeu ill shall net return te school until entirely cm ed. The child mny feel perfectly well, but there may still be some head discharge which mny spread the 'trouble broadcast among ether children. 'Tlie schools, of course, are a great seuree of infection in diseases like measles, as well as in the case of crowds of children play ing In the streets, and the infection can spread very rapidly. "Most important of 'II is for the home te co-operate with the physicians, the health authorities and the school authorities te prevent any wiele infection, and net assume n cusunl attitude about the whole thing ns is se often the case. On account of the limited umnunt of space and the large num ber of children, the infection can spread about as rapidly in the schools as in any place possible. "The medical inspectors me eleing splen did wetk. nui all that is needeel te control the possibilities of the situation entirely is the intelligent eo-eperntion of tlie home with the authorities who are trying te get tlie situation in hand. Vlsltln- Nurses Werk "Niiluriilly, our own organization is doing everything possible te assist. The Municipal Ilospital'iunnet take care of all the cases, ami the Visiting Nurse Society Is earing for fiem 1S0 te 200 cases of measles all the time. "But of just as much importance as this is (he work we etc trying te de In instruct ing the mothers, as te prevention of infec tion anions the ether children of the home ami of the neighborhood. The mothers are generally wry responsive nnd will listen nmt (airy out .he instructions carefully te (he best of their uhility . We take infinite pains te explain the whys and llie wherefores of the situation; why such a thing should be elene ami why siu-li a thing should net be elene. The isolation of the sick child is another thing which we show flic mothers hew te ele, mid they are usually only tee willing te tnue the time mid the trouble neerssarv te carry out the instructions. Isolation ut Heme "Mnny persons de net knew that in "i"'" , '!, ,is .""'rely possible te isolnte the sick child in its own home. This mis tine lerMnnding nnd the fear that the hcu child would have te go te n hospital may have something te de with (he reluctance te i-epeit and plnciird tlie homes where measles exist.
