Krnnomlr Value of Sanitation.
The accepted Idea that sanitation is
:i mailer with which only hoards nf
health in cirles and towns are eou
cerned fails to convey its significance
as an economic factor In industrial
and uther enterprises which contribute
vastly to general welfare.
the recent visit of John D. Kockk-
rnxf. Jr . to the Colorado Fuel and
, I run Company I mines revealed the
fact that not n little of the discontent
that led to the deplorable strikes In
that region was attrlhutnhle to the
insanitary dwellings and modes of
fond SUpply existing there.
The so-called relielllon nt Wheat

after thorough Investigation hv the
California State Commission of In,-
migration nnd Housing to he partly 1f

' dwellings and the Insanitary environ
ness. piacontented hop pickers in
other ranches have on thJs account
mainly failed to arous the Ottrst
ranch (ilckers lo Join llielr strike,
showing tint sanitation may remove
IlldllstfiH warfare.
The efforts of the United Prull Cow
piny offer another example of effl
el y arising from sanitation In an
Industry. Having an aggregate of HA,

South America, Hie donm rnie waa

Nothing Is more pathetic in the
Cavell case than the unfortunate
woman's realization thai mercy waa
not to be OBpeCted from the military
Governor of Brussels, sin- admitted
her offence, the aiding of wounded
British. French and Belgian soldiers
to escape, concealed nothing, eqttlvo
cated nothing, disdained to show weak
nessln the presence of her Judges and
nipt her fale without faltering.
The woman's humanity to Qermstl
soldiers should have pleaded in trum
pet tones for her. hut Von BmatKO
was not to lie diverted from his put
pose of pxpeuting the sentence of the
military court before the apaals of
the American and Spanish Ministers
could reach the ears of 'he Kaiser.
There Is now reas.,n t . believe Hial
Wuxiam would have reprieved ami
saved the heroic Rngltah nurse, for
he has Intervened In the cases nf other
women nnd nf some men who glao
were found guilty of "aiding the en
emy" in the same way. By his Hction
he condemns tho ruthlessness .if the
Military Governor, who hen covered
himself with infamy and ennnal an
odious immortality.
In gplte of the mnnlfeatatlono f
"frlghlfulnpss" with Which the record
is already Crowded, we are not will
ing to believe that chivalry to women
is dead In the German army. To the
rank nnd tile Von Btaatm can never
lie a hero. Doubtlcae his monstrous
deed win be Justified: nevertheless,
It will sicken the soul of many an
honest German offlier And the tier
man women- for woman is true to
her sex the world over will deplore
the fate Imposed upon one who was
a victim of her sympathies, Never
has there been a war in which women
have not played such a part as this
KnglNh woman did.
Indeed, to all llermnns who have
not been corrupted by Prussian mill

nf hapless Edith Cavcix in the dead

The late Amos F. ENO Inherited from
Amos It Kno something more valu ible
than his portion of the fortune In the
division of his father's estate a sense
of honor that controlled and guided

set forth in pretentions conversation

l.d Mr. Kno regard himself as entitled
to unusual credit for having adopted
this Course, which tin rely squared
with his conception of an honest gan
tleman's duty, in another emergency,
not forgotten by those who know New
York. Mr. KK0 again shouldered an
unnecessary debt and did modestly
what few' men would have iiadi rtaken
These things were done with a sim
plicity and grace that were never Im
paired; Mr Kno. dwelling in honor
found it unnecessary to talk of honor.

Mr. Kno succeeded hlf father as a

he divested himself of his stuck he
retained his Intelligent and helpful In

In whose material fortunes he lung

gratification to Thk Stn that through
out the changes incident tn many
years, and in spite nf the unavoidable

THE CASE FOR AND AGAINST

Woman suffrage won the greatest victory
It has yet gained In this country Just
aftar It had been defeated hy the first
State tn vote upon It among a group nf
campaign States.
Three years ago Ohio was In about
the same position as New Jersey this
year. Oiilo waa to vote upon womsn
suffrage at a special election In Septem
ber. IP 1 2. and several other States were
to vole upon It at the regular eleotlon
In November. So all the friends of Jus
tice were aatchina Ohio, as they have
Just been watehiiar New Jersey. 8uf
rage was defeRted In Ohio, but It waa
carried a few weeks later In Ivansite,
Oregon and Arizona. Iletice the op-

Our Two Million Women of Voting
Age.
To the Boiroa or i ns Btm -air. The
lending editorial article in Tux Si n of
October 17 represents, I believe, the
j opinion of a great majority of open
minded men concerning one of the must
momentous problems they have been
' called Upon lo deride.
May one w ho formerly wae an uncom
promising "antl" venture to agplatn why
he tow hopes ttiat the women of New
' Votk will l given full right of suf
frage" in the tlrst place there ate s,,d
I to be not lesa than 1,000,000 women of
voting age lu the Rtnplrs State, and at
the lowest minimum lrt per cent, of
them, or 100,000, ate asking the right
to have a voice In t s govsrnmsnt of
their own country. That the SUlPraglStS
' are carrying on thrlr propaganda
. merely for the gxeltement of tin- game
is an Idea held by many ; hut p Is nn
idea simply childish. Theaa women al
ready POSSSII equal rights before the
law. they have equal rights In public
education; in almost ail religious or
ganisations they possess eipial rights, as
they do In social and family life And
now t ,ey only ask that the right to
full Cltlaenehlp be denied them no
longer. I wonder if the "antis" ever stop
to think what thla moans" In the first
place, it means that a multitude of
i loyal Women, who are aa Intelligent as
their fathers, husbands, brothers, feel a
i definite civic responsibility, an swsksn
I lug that may mean much lu future to
: the republic We are very much mis
taken if we underestimate this one fad
. iiiiine.
Wo men trust the woman with our
homes, with most of our earnings and
j with the health and lives ..f our chil
dren. If wo trust them thus we mav
safely trust l-em with the vote Six
i months ugo i happened to be on a
steamer with Governor nsrlson of Onto-
j rado, snd for three hours we talked
woman's suffrage, Governor Carlson
I told ms that Instead of having unfo'tu-
I nets results, equal suffrage is one or the
I best things that ever came t i his state
, He says that the women voters nf Colo
rado have exerted a direct nnd sua
tallied influence In all moral questions;
! moreover, that the women have bOad-
I ened their vision of life Immeasurably,
I because no longer Is their life no clr
j eumserlbed aa In some other State
Take another definite statement from
lone who has had practical experience
i in a suffrage State, s man from Kan
sas, le Witt ('. CrolSSanti a native of
Washington, o. c, a graduate of Prince
ton, for some years resident in Qermany
and Mngland, In other words a level
headed man of wide experience. Mr.
Croissant has lived In Kansas for four
years. He says that while the women
out there do not upset party traetltlon or
party management, they do lake a very
decided and effective put la wbjbt be
teitna the "housekeeping side" of local
government.
"Kansas women." he continued, "see
to It that streets arc kept clean, that
the water supply Is good and IttfnclOnt
In quantity ; that schools are main
tained with regard to the health of
their children. They an cmi-tanlly
looking after public markets, and the
t-ndesmen In food are mighty careful
to keep their gnuds screened ftnm tics,
for example If they don't, the women
hold a meeting and send In a complaint
to the health Officer, and whit is more,
they follow up tint complaint In a
thousand important matters of this hind
the women of Kansas SXsrctSS Intelli
gently their light of lUlfrSge, It's very
funny," Mr. Crolaagnl added, "to see
what a row Is being made here In New
York over the question of equal suf
frage. I've met a lot of men, keen bUSla
fteSS men, too, who are simply locoed
over the whole thing. It makes me
laugh, because I know that w -en women
have full rights of rltlxcn-lilp they will
exerelse those rights In their own fields,
where men seldom enter, and whei-e
tney usually blunder when they da
enter."
Last evening a very good filend who
Is stid an "antl," though wavering,
asked whether I thought the average
woman Is as well educated as the aver
age man. and therefore as well titled to
vote. I reminded him that of all the
high school graduates in this State the
great majority are girls. In other words,
while the hoy drops out of hlgtl school
and Roes to work, the girl usually stays
through the last two years of high
School, and It Is during those final years
that the high School takes up serious
study of civics, of history as related to
present government, and like questions.
In other words. It ts possible that the
average woman, eapSOlally the average
woman nf fifty years or less. Is better
educated than the average man More
over, almost every town nnd village of
the State long has hud women's study
(lijbs, whose members do serious work,
whn pn-sue regular courses of study,
prepare Pipers, discuss events, as men
cannot, tteeauee they are immersed In
business.
tine reason w-hy I am In favor of
woman's suffrage Is thai I do not knos
of thy valid argument against it. There
aie many women "antis." They do not
have to vote unless they want to.
There is no compulsion about casting
one'l ballot: but I fall to see why they
should deny a civic right to other
women simply becauss they themselves
do not wish to exercise it.
