Letters To Herald Editor
Assail Men Who Fail To
Remove Hats In Lifts.
IT ALL DEPENDS,
SAYS ONE WOMAN
Feminine Writers Present
Their Sida Of Question;
Other Angles Expected.
GOING up!
Step back In the ear. please.
Here come the first letters In the
'ree and open discussion of that in
teresting question -
' Should men remove their hats
rhen women enter an elevator?"
The "Elevator Etiquette Editor,"
vho should be impartial m superin
nding the controversy, is compelled
to admit that the first batch of mail
showed the women well to the fore.
"Women to Fore.
In fact, all of the letters were writ
ten by the alleged weaker sex.
And, how they wrote!
Tnere was a note from one who
signed herself "Fighting: Feminist,"
ind -t was easy to see that her nom
a- plume was well chosen.
Men" she expostulated in neatly
Mpe written sentences. Tm not:
h. shamed of yon; I'm disgusted. If
some mrty little creature gives yon
smile you raise your hat Quick
onough. But in an elevator 7on not
only crowd yourself in rudely but
stand there with your hat on in utter
rliSrespeet of the women who are
forced to ride in the same cage with
j 01: An elevator is the same as a
room or an office and there is ab
solutely no excuse for you."
Gentle But Firm.
Then there was this from "Miss
Klla Vator," who was somewhat
rentier but none the less indignant:
"A man should always remove his
hat when a woman enters an elevator.
Men who fail to do so are in the class
with those who, remain seated in a
street car and compel a woman to
stand. Every woman's heart is
warmed by even the slightest show
rt respect by a man. Men can make
the day brighter and happier for
many girls who must work for a liv
ing by doing them this little
courtesy."
One who signed herself "Miss Up
nd Doof&s. significant of perhaps
more than elevator ascensions and
desoensions, found one slight excese
for the man who remain covered Sa
the presence of women.
One Excuse.
"I admit." she wrote, "that eleva
tors are sometimes so crowded that
a man is unable to raise his hand to
his hat, let alone remove it. But
that is the exception to the rale and
otherwise it is the first sort of dis
respect. "I am inclined to believe that the
rn trance of women into the business
orld is causing men to lose the
proper amount of respect for them. 2
hae often noticed men remain cov
ered in the presence of girls who
-bow plainly they are of the working
class and then remove their hats
nhen a woman of leisure, all Moiled
up,' enters. For shame, men, for
fhame'"
Another of the feminine debaters
as inclined to technicalities. She
nrew a fine distinction in certain
. a-oes, which she claimed was the cor
rect etiquette rule.
Draws Distinction.
"If a man is accompanied by a
woman when he enters an elevator
he should always remove his hat."
she said. "When be is alone he should
remain covered. A man shouldn't
raise his hat to women he does not
ttnow."
The "elevator etiquette editor" has
discovered a little story that has a
hearing on the situation. It concerns
a woman who was boasting to friends
bat her husband was the acme of
politeness.
hy," she said, "he never forgets
1 Imself. When rm with him and an-
Ther woman enters the elevator ho

If yon don't get it the first time,

As the discussion now stands the

Tne "E. E- E-" is waiting to hear

A New York expressman who

consideration.
He declared that, of course, the
original structure would be used as
a basis for remodeling and revision.
He was inclined to believe the na
tions of Burope would be as glad to
be rid of article X as would the
United States, but Mr. Harding means
to approach the other nations of the
world and negotiate an understanding
to preserve the independence and
sovereignty of the United States and
at the same time ask for no privilege
that America, on her part. Is not will
ing to grant to other nations.
This may lead possibly to negotia
tions between the United States with
the allies and Germany with the de
layed ratification of the treaty of
Versailles offering the opportunity
for reservations of the document it
self, for which so many factions
among the signatory nations have
been clamoring.
Concerned With Division In rarty.
Of course, senator Harding does
not intend to tie himself to a definite
program until after he is elected. The
world situation is changing so rapidly
that he believes it both unnecessary
and superfluous to chart a course
now that may be entirely altered by
the time a new president of the United
States is Inaugurated
For the present, senator Harding
is concerned with the division in the
ranks of Republicanism, which grew
out of the fight in the senate by the

Plans Held in Abeyance Wait

Nominee Is Told.
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, July 28.
Plans looking to the release of
Eugene 'V. Debs from prison are
being held In abeyance pending word
from governor Cox, Democratic nomi
nee for president, as to whether he
will cooperate with them. Parley P.
Christensen, Farmer-Labor party
nominee for president, informed the
governor in a telegram today. The
telegram asked for an earlv renlv
to one sent by Mr. Christensen from
Denver last week, wherein he asked
the nominees of the Democratic and
Republican parties to Join him in
pressing for Debs's release.
'me telegram ioiiows in part
"Senator Hardbur has renlied un
favorably. I can only assume from
what ha says that, while he was in
favor of freedom of speech for the
Republican senators who attacked.
Investigated and ridiculed, if they did
not actually obstruct, the govern
ment's prosecution of the war In
1917-1S. he Is unwilline to concede
the Socialists the constitutional right
of free speech and political criticism
in war time. I take It the Republican
candidate is content to suffer the
Socialist candidate to remain in
prison and the Socialist party, which
has polled nearly a million votes in
national election, to pursue the
campaign minus its unanimously
chosen standard bearer and para
mount spokesman.
"stui, i nave not lost nope or bring
ing the president to see the tyranny
involved in the continued imprison
ment of Debs. T intend to make
every possible effort to the end that
Debs, a man with whom I disagree
politically, be accorded the same free
dom to voice his beliefs that you snd
senator Harding and I enjoy.
"My plans will be held in abeyance
pending an expression as to your
willingness to cooperate in what ap
pears to me a matter of fair play

"Althoogh I have received so of

surrender at Sabinas, it is probably
true that he has agreed to renounce
the life of a bandit in exchange for
amnesty." said Montes de Oca.
"But there Is a grave question In
my mind as to Villa's sincerity in the
move he Is making. It Is really hard
to believe that he means to cease his

"The Mexican government probably
trill be willing to grant him amnesty
for the welfare of the people and
