VOTES FOR WOMEN ESI DENT WILSON reflects the j thought of a vast number of voters when he appeals to Con gress for the passage of the resolu tion to amend the federal consti tution by the addition of a universal suffrage clause. He is correct in the view* that this is not a party issue. Both great parties are committed to it in their national platforms, but in both parties there are representa tives in Congress who choose to place their own personal convictions above party sentiment, which, of course, is their privilege. But the adoption or rejection of the votes for-women proposal should not be withheld from the individual States by the few votes of a handful of ob jecting members. We have been for a decade or more headed toward the day of full voting privileges for women and President Wilson is cor rect in his opinion that now is the psychological moment. We fought the Revolutionary W T ar and proclaimed this a land of free dom and independence. Yet we per mitted black men and women to be bought and sold like so many cattle. We boasted what we did not have — and we paid for the lie in the blood and agony of the Civil War. We are again waging a war for liberty and equal privilege, and to the winning of that war we have called the women of America to take the places of men who have gone into the army. Not only that — but we have asked for girls tnd women to risk their lives in the hos pitals and on the very edges of the baUle zones of France. We have asked others to work, and save and sacrifice in their homes. Most diffi cult of all, we have asked them to cheerfully send their loved ones into the hell of Europe. We are fighting to make the world safe for democracy, but there is no true democracy where there is not equal rights and opportunity for all. We are demanding that women shall do men's work. We must ac cord them, then, the privileges of men. We have asked Europe to ac cept at face value our declarations of democracy. We must stand ready to prove our sincerity to our allies. On this issue the expressions of President Wilson and Senator Sproul, the Republican candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania, are singu larly similar. Senator Sprout's plat form contains a strong suffrage plank and the amplification of his views on the subject in recent ad dresses clearly indicate that he be lieves the time is here for the grant ing of the ballot to women on equal terms with men. This, as the Presi dent says, is no party matter. It is bigger than that. It is a national issue and should be met in the way the President proposes. Our boys are doing more in France than was expected of them; let us at home buy more Liberty Bonds than is expected of us. WHY THIS SILENCE? THE approach of the Thanksgiv ing season gives rise to the thought that in years past the Kaiser has been prompted to an nounce some months in advance the city in which he intends to eat his Thanksgiving Day dinner. If we mistake not, Paris was the place us ually mentioned in the advance no tices issued by the Imperial press agent, although love of truth prompts the admission that accounts of the Kaiser having fulfilled his engagement are strangely lacking. Or, maybe he expects to honor Ber lin this year. At any rate, he it headed in that direction. If per chance he does get to Paris by Thanksgiving Day one thing is suro -L dously, overpowerinyly good. Bulgaria is out of the war, Tur key is wobbling. Austria is seeing the ghost of ruin stalking through the haze of military defeat, Germany is in a panic. And all along the great western frontier, from the coast of stricken Belgium to Metz, the gallant little Belgians, the fero cious British, the courageous French and the invincible Americans are battering the German army to pieces. The Hindenburg line has been pierced in a dozen places. The thoughts of Hindenburg turn toward the Scheldt and the "Meuse, and he j is wondering whether or not he will Jbe able eventually to get out of | France and Belgium with enough jof his forces left to make a stand i behind the Rhine. The news from Europe is good— tremendously good, as we look away ! across the Atlantic and study through the eyes of the newspapers the great work the alied armies are doing. The men "over there" are giving good accounts of themselves. But what of ourselves over here? The best news we receive from them is I that they are winning battles. The best news they can receive from us is that we are backing them up. It would be almost as much satisfac tion to the Kaiser to know that we had fallen our quota on the big bond issue as it is for us to know that the Hindenburg line has been smashed. What is the news we ate going to j send to France? Our men "over there'" are doing j twice as well as we expected them | to do. Are you going to give them j the same kind of good che?r they are giving us by subscribing for twice ! as many. I-ibertv Eonds as we did last campaign? You just bet your last big, round silver dollar we are! IX THE EAST WITH Bulgaria out of the war and her railroads In the hands of Jhe Allies. Turkey may well turn her thoughts toward separate peace, regardless of the wishes of her imperial master. Tur key and Austria will next feel the weight of the allied armies in the East unless they quickly sue for such peace terms as England, Italy and France may choose to grant. If they do not choose to quit we may ex pect soon to hear the cry of "on to Constantinople,' and "on to Vienna," with every prospect of those objects being attained But even with only Bulgaria beaten and the allied armies occupy ing the country, the arch of German supremacy ftom Berlin to India is broken. The Pan-German dream is over. Mittel Europa is a shattered ambition. Bulgaria, herself a pawn in the German game of world domin ion, has played fast and loose with j her friends and allies for geneva- j tions. She turned on Rumania after j j the tirst Balkan war in the hope ofj grabbing territory for her own ag-j grandizement, and at the outstartj of this war Czar Ferdinand, in his. ambition to make his kingdom the I "Prussia of the Balkans," a dominant state the central power in a league or confederacy of Balkan states—en forced or otherwise—deserted Rus sia, which had freed Bulgaria from Turkey, and entered upon a war of conquest as an Germany and Austria. Ferdinand declared war when the star of the Kaiser appear ed to be in the ascendency, and he has just as treacherously struck his colors to the Allies upon the first successful attack upon his own su premacy. Bulgaria deserves no more consideration than Germany. She is an outlaw among the nations and should be treated as such. However, the question of the mo ment does not concern the ultimate fate of Bulgaria; it asks what the| next development in the Balkans will be. With Bulgaria fallen, Turkey tottering and Austria almost down and out, great good news may "break" in the East. The direction of the next blow lies with General Foch, and he has not spoken. GOOD WORK THE Rotary Club can perform a useful service in the Americani zation work it has undertaken. The committee named has a big rask on its hands. Its objects cannot be attained in a month, or a year. The Army is doing much for the young man of alien birth within draft age and the public schools are instilling loyalty and patriotism in the hearts of the ooys and girls of foreign parentage. But there are in our in dustries \ast numbers of men who! need to be taught the great principles of freedom and liberty upon which the nation is founded, and to be shown the opportunities for advance ment which this to the capable and the persevering. *lt is to these that the Rotary Club is ad dressing its efforts. SALUTING THE FLAG RIGHT. Dr. Schaeffer! Every public school pupil should be taught to salute the American flag. The parent who teaches his child otherwise is not a good citizen. the ground of religious scruples, but, acknowledging no dag, he becomes to all Intents and pur poses a man without a country, and we have no room for leeches of | that sort at this time. He prates j much of religicus liberty and forgets that it is the flag he declines to sa lute that protects him in his right to worship as he pleases. *po titles IK By the Ex-Committoeman Members of fhe Democratic State Executive Committee will be called togethec within the next week to fill more vacancies in congressional and legislative tickets.

MASY FOR JUDGESHIPS [From the Philadelphia Press] The limit of time permitted by law for tiling petitions of candidates for Judge of the Supreme Court expired last Thursday. As the two places to be tilled became vacant by death too late to admit of nominations at the May primaries, and as the law makes them non-partisan offices, the tarty committees could not make nomina tion. as in the case of other vacan cies, the ileld has been open to any one ambitious for the high places, and it wiil be conceded to be worthy of any one's ambition. Petitions have been tiled for a considerable number of candidates. These include Alexander Simpson, Jr., and Edward J. Fox, who have been commissioned by the Governor to serve until -.he terms of the Judges to be elected begins the tirst of the coming year. Others in the list are J_udge Joseph W. Bouton, of AicKean Lount> . A. \ . Dively, of Blair County bar; Judge John \\. Kephart, now on the bench of the Superior Court' Henry Budd. of the Philadelphia bar. and Charles B. Lenahan, of Luzerne. This is a sufficient variety to satisfy all tastes. We believe, however, that the bestl interests n, the Commonwealth will be subserved by the election of Judges Simpson and Fox. whose ap pointment a few months ago was greeted with general satisfaction.' Their high character and qualirica- ! tions for Judicial duties are recog nized by all. They were selected with the support of leading mem-! bers of the bar of the state, and 1 there is no better authority on the! qualification of Judges. The spirit; 1 of the Constitution, which intends'! that Judges of the Supreme Court!' shall not all be selected from one 1 party, was complied with in their! appointments: one is a Republican ll and one a Democrat. But in both parties some oppo3i-l tion to them has been indicated '' This is apparently due more 10 re-!' sentment of the fact that they were named by thc Governor, who has made himself unpopular, than to any! personal or public objection to the i Judges themselves. This should not!' affect the people in their voting. Whatever else the Governor may i have done to discredit his adminls-; tration he has most creditably acted! in these two appointments to the highest Judicial tribunal of the state. It would be unwise for the people deprive themselves of this ability on the. bench purely as a mat ter of personal or political resent ment. • "Men Wanted" Men wanted, brave men. strong men. men who fear.no foe; Men who see beyond the cloud, and dare to strike the blow. Men who stand for ldyalty, nor fear to trust and try; Men who win not falter—none oth ers need apply. Men wanted, great men, big men, men who stand for right; Men who will not stoop to win, but conquer in His might; Men who forfeit selfish aims, and heed a brother's cry— This age demands such type of men —none others need apply. Men wanted, true men, sane men, men of noble mien; Men who see the future as it's'nev er yet been seen; Men who for America will dare to fight and die; This country calls for patriots!— none others need apply. —By M.

This war message to American business cites the fact that great Speaks Through W. -4. IV. j. (By William Allen White in the j Emporia Gazette.) "Politics," quoth our beloved President, "has adjourned!" And then up spakg the Democratic J national committee with this non- ! partisan slogan; "Help Wilson Win! the War!" So politics reassembled. "And," i says the common voter, says he to j himself, softly like and under his i breath;. "Who is this man Wilson, i which lie would win the war?" And! then History she fumbles over her j pages and she remarks; "Him? Oh,! he's the gentleman whom Congress j has been endowing with more power! i than is given to any other ruler on i earth—not even to the Kaiser him- | self." "Well, well"—replies the average | man, recalling recent events —"well, j ain't it the truth; and who is this! Congress which went ahead and i done all this? Again History turns to hr big book and says she: "Congress is the representatives of the people, all the people, Republicans and Democrats, and in giving the President all this power, which it is a good thing to give him in war time, for war is no debating society, Republicans voted just as strong as the Democrats. They voted in a larger. proportion for the war than the Democrats, so far as that goes, and they voted stronger man for man for conscrip- I tion than the Democrats. But let! that pass; that was the accident of geography." "But," says History, I says she. "in the matter of winning j this war the Republicans gave the j President just as much power to I win it as the Democrats, which! shows they really adjourned politics and didn't just give it a ten minutes' j recess in order to drum up a ma jority." That was what History said | —them very words—and she never | smiled when she said it. "So," thunders Logic, "now that) you have given the President mi tnia tremendous unprecedented why not safeguard t hat P ow . er ' if >, I not surround the President b I- Republican Congress? The Repun licans upheld him in the wai, the Republicans co-operated to give him all this power. Power unrestrained is bad for any man. Power under control and with the consent of the governed is the essence of democ racy. So why not. now that Con gress has assembled the makings of a tyrant—and no man is above tne temptations of the flesh— why not surround the President wit h a •**" publican Congress, a Congress Just as loyal. Just as reasonable, just as keen to win the war as the President himself why not surround the President with advisers rather than servants, with men rather than patronage seekers, with Americans rather than mere partisans, who in the past ten months have played party politics clear up to the limit." Them was the noble words of Logic, which you can't get away from, dearly beloved. Let politics really adjourn. And i let the Republicans help Wilson win • the war. This is no one party war.
