A Chicago woman in a lecture before a suffrage society Saturday advocated that the Bible be revised be cause it does not give women the same prominence as it does men and because It contains that terrible com-' mand: "Women, obey your husbands." Another woman in New York, and by j the way, her name is Mrs. Catt, spell- 1 ed with two ’’t’s,” said- "'Women, throw away your fancy hats and ridiculous narrow skirts, burn your corsets and be as independent in dress as in politics.” About the greatest argument against woman s suffrage is that produced by such cranks as these.

not going to pay Woodrow Wilson $75,000 a.year to act as dispenser of patronage. That job is worth no such salary. A $1,200 man would be big enough to make appointments on the recommendations of senators and representatives. The new president will have much important business to attend to, the business of all the people, and not that of a few thousand men | seeking office. The issue, if it arises, j will be one, not between the president i and the office seek»*i , s, but between the ' office seekers and the American peo- ■ |ile. It is, to be sure, the duty of the president to appoint to office, but it is not his duty to ereat vacancies simply that he may make appointments. We do not believe that Mr. Wilson will permit the pressure and Importunity of a small class to interfere with the performance of his duties to the people. That would be an intolerable condition of affairs. If the democratic leadetg are wise they will do everything in their power to make it easy for the president to redeem the pledges of the party to the people. i Nothing could do more to make that work hard than an unresisted spoils ! raid. If the democratic party is to ‘‘make good" it must devote itself to principles and policies and programs. If it is to w in and hold the confidence of the people it must be through a j wise statesmanship. — Indianapolis ! News. PUBLIC SALE.
