SOUTH lli:.I, INDI A STATU. MXnoN. I re;;. Wilson dec-lined to civ his j approval to a constitutional amend- , inent providing for woman suffrage, j The women who called upon hirn to pr'-snt tho Chicago resolution were disappointed and manifested their hagrin by attempting to cross-examine the president. This he proper Vv resented and retired from the reception room. In sub.-tar.ee these wrre the results of the interview at the white house on Tuesday. To what extent the women were justified in their disap pointment and chagrin is i matter ; r.f opinion. The women, in their enthusiasm for tlie cause, were perhaps oversanguino that the president could not resist the appeal to be made to him. both a.s president and as an individual. The more logical must have foreseen that Pres. Wilson could not change his views previously expressed. Tho position taken by the president that woman suffrage is not a proper subject on which to bae a constitutional amendment Is strictiy In accordance with tr.e attitude of . his party and hi3 own personal convictions. This was made very plain to the women in his Ftatement that the Baltimore convention "did not embody this important measure in the platform which it adopted because of Its conviction that the principles of the constitution which allot tho questions to tho state were well considered principles from which they did not wish to depart," and his further personal statement that "It is my conviction that this is a matter for settlement by the states and not by the federal government." Obviously tho delegation of women should not have been disappointed as they had no valid reason to expect any other reply. In fact, the president was so sure to repeat himself on this question that the effort to induce him to change his opinion was ill adviseA Yet, outside of the refusal of the request made, there was no element of the discouragement in the president's reply. Tie neither expressed nor manifested opposition or antagonism to tho cause of suffrage. On the contrary he spoke of It as an "important question." In common with other thinking men tho president evidently appreciates the vitality of the suffrage question. Ho realizes that the nation has reached a point in its social and political progress when the question must and should be seriously considered, but he cannot agree as to the method by which it should be decided. In the president's opinion, woman suffrage is a question which pertains to local self-government and aa ioich should be settled by the Ftates. and as far as the present administration is concerned that policy, which has heretofore obtained, will hold. THE BLKIvnENG OF NATION'S. The Toledo Blade treats very cleverly the apprehension expressed by a leprerntative in Canada of an English publishing house that the dominion is being Insidiously Americanized by American magazine and newspaper syndicates. The Blade admits the influence, but questions the source. "The Americanization." it says, "if there has been such a thing, must have begun long before the American magazines began to circulate in Canada or Canadian newspapers thought of buying reading matter of American syndicate. It must have taken time and much intercourse to make upper Ontario and the middle United States so nearly alike that their political problems are approximately the same. the political practices little differing , and the phrases arrt! catch-terms of the politicians amusingly identical. It has not. been the magazines or newspaper article w hich have made Canadians love baseball no less than the manhood of the United States loves it. The printed word has had nothing to do with the fact that the speech of the r.j.tie of Ontario and the speech f the native of h:o are not to be' distinguished Yet there need b :: surprise if one remembers that tht.c two pt-oplt-s are cf exactly ihe same stock.

Ii:'IiKi:s CITY MAUKKT SAUi:. Mayor Keller's expressed doubts as to the truth of Pres. Icing's opposition to the city'niarket wa.s"t be expected. Fven back in hb. campaign days he would probably have expressed them, had anyone in favor of the market apprised him of the campaign in favor of its destruction, that was being put on among the Krocers and the butchers. ' It is to the credit of the mayor, however, that he appears to be standing by his own public expressions at that time, and that the policy of his administration in thi3 matter is to bo one of continuance, if determined in that regard, it is very proper that he should give Pres. Lang to understand his proper place in the legislative rather than In the executive branch of the government. - We-agree with him that no majority of the council would ever support destructive legislation aimed at the city market. He disclaims belief that the president has any such legislation in mind, but whatever may b" his attitude, the presiding officer of the municipal parliament must understand that his place is at his own desk. The responsibility for the market, in the absence of further legislation, rests with the mayor. Cf course, there is a market master In direct charge, but the best that can be expected of him is to do the executive's bidding. And that is the position the mayor is taking in the apparent hope that further talk among the truck growers as to what Pres. Lang may have to say, will lose at least a part of its Weight. The next thing now is to watch the policy of the market, and its conduct, and see if its continuance really tends toward the improvement promised, or whether that conduct will be In the nature of a sham. It is possible to leave a thing to die from a sort of "slow poison," you know, and as that was the grocers and butchers campaign prophecy as to the way the market would go, such lnsiduous way needs be looked out for. THi: MODERN MOTHER. A recognized authority in obstetrics. Dr. Gilbert Fitzpatrick of Chicago, president of the Obstetrical Society of the American Institute of Homeopathy, ( tola tne homeapathlc convention at Atlantic City that modern women are poor mothers and the direct cause of the high rate of infant mortality. A charge as serious as that should have something more than a theoretical foundation. It should be based upon actual conditions as statistically developed. And this is the very premise from which Dr. Fitziatrick started in arraigning the mothers of the present day. Yet the public will be" slow to accept a declaration so sweeping without some qualifications, and the only modifications the doctor offered '

very serious ones. And if you loo 'at them long enough without at the same time taking due notice of our . . 'advantages, you can become pretty j bilious about them.

The point is that notwithstanding our troubles, we have the most liberty, the freest play of opportunity and the best distribution of prosperity of j the larger nations, and are proceedin? as best we may to make all these blessing's better and more abundant. fc'o the Fourth of July means much, after all, whether we celebrate it sanely or foolish. or don't celebrate at Hll.

A dirigible will remain in tho air us long as the gas supports it and an aeroplane as long as the engine continues to push it. Aviation is an exact science, barring accidents. The speed and efficiency with which The News-Times gathers and disseminates news must be quite upsetting to sleepy competitors, if it happens to wake them up. It proves nothing to have Sir Edward Grey praise Pres. Wilson for the repeal of free tolls. That was simply and obviously the proper thing to do. Somebody is always ready to succeed to a throne, regardless of plots and bombs. It must become sort of j an obsession with royalty. A habit of trying street car brakes before reaching a railroad crossing and coming to a stop 100 feet away might help some. There are a good many people wTio may not know what unfair competition means, but they know how it feels. Sec. McAdod will try to remove the causes of depression if he can find out what they are. Does anyone know? Indicting Mellen and the men higher up is a welcome application of the new doctrine of personal application. There are places where waiting might become more tedious. The scenery around Niagara is just grand. The greatest business boom- in history is predicted, and it doesn't take much of a predictor to predict it. That vas a mighty lucky escape at the Michigan st. crossing, but luck is too fickle to be depended on. But there can be no watchful waiting with the bubonic plague. That calls for watchful action. Turks and Greeks are on the verge of war. a condition frequently varied by falling in. Of course the colonel's quietude will be of the comparative sort. STATESMEN REAL AND NEAR BY FRED C KJZLXjt.

One of the tricks of the social climbers who make ! papers was talking over the telephone to a congressman's wife, w ho had come hom with the intention nf stonnin? right into the very capitalest of capita f.oci?,tJ- . , ... es, said the climber, reading from a list of names. "Admiral and Mrs. Dewey are coming, and " "Well, well, that's really remarkable," cut in the society editor; "you know Admiral and Mrs. Dewey rarely accept invitations out. This will be about the first time for two or three months." "And tho Cardinal and Mrs. Gib .. went on lhe climl,er. unabashed. That was too much for the society editor. "What a stupid reporter I am." she remarked. l.didnt even know the cardinal was married. I suppose if the pope got married I would be one of the last to hear about it.' Another society reporter, by the ! way. who is an observing person, depolitical intrigue and lineups just by the tone of voice of the women folk over the wire. Let us say that Rep. Mix is against the president on a piece of pending legislation, but this is r.ot generally known. He hasn't said a word to anyj toward the president. A man's wife is ! rather likely to catch his point of view ' an,d think tha1t his exactly right In ! whatever notion he has. The next j tlmo the society reporter inquires about a social doings and mentions tho name of any of the president's family and Rep.

P. are invited to send in their favorite quotations for tills block, lcarin in mind that brevity Is the soul of wit and the virtue of wisdom. WE took sincere pleasure in decorating the lofty brow of that venerable honored citizen. Dud? shlvely with laurel in honor of his having told the best fish story of the season. The story itself Is simple, considering the remarkable performance it chronicles. Old John Woolverton was casting with a "Dowagiac" in Pine lake, near Edwardsburg, but as the bass did not respond he turned his attention to the frogs that were basking in the sunshine on the lily pads and giving him the haw! -haw! With marvelous skill he cast his "Dowagiac" and picked them off one by one. Retained Their Womanly Tntinct. (Fisher, 111., Reporter.) The two girls are half-witted and constantly talking about getting married. AN Evansville girl laughed herself to death at a barber's joke told second hand. We shudder at what she might have done had she heard the barber tell it. THE customs of different nations are interesting. In Mexico they have restaurants and cantinas, and in this country we have chop sueys and saloons. Social Ethics In Kansas. (Sedgewick, Kas., Pantagraph.) You seldom enter a home without having been invited. When you do it is because the home has been made by newcomers and you wish to show a friendly interest; or you have gone to collect a bill from the resident who dodges you on the street. NOW, who will front? . put up a brown A WOMAN has just died in England who. when she was a girl, wove yards and yards of linen so fine it could be run through a finger ring and presented it to Queen Victoria. Her majesty was greatly pleased and wishing to manifest her appreciation adopted the suggestion of the ring and gave one to her admiring subject. type of Washington society woman that to have one intimate that an invitation to the white house or to an exclusive little affair at the home of a cabinet officer would mean much to her. As one woman put it, carefully adjusting her lorgnette. "I've bean' bean, mind you, not been "I've bean in smart society for a great many yehs yes, a great many yehs, and relly, relly, I simply cawn't give any time to the official set." You catch the distinction. The official set is here by virtue of political recognition' and is constantly shifting, but people in smart society are there because they have "bean" there always. The diplomatic circle, of course. forms one distinct social set, but there are gradations even within that. As I understand it or rather, as I overheard a paunchy-cheeked, tiaraed old dowager explaining one night, the wife of one of the most prominent foreign diplomats in Washington does not reai ly belong at all. Some one asked the dowager why not. "Oh, she just simply doesn't," was the reply. "Look at her waist line." And speaking of capital S society a woman who has been mixed up in It for years, but who doesn't take it seriously, was telling me the other day that you can tell exactly the grade of society to which a woman belongs jusi by her small talk. She divides society into five grades. The first or lowest I is made up, she says, of those women I who talk about the things they have j tried to cook and the high cost thereI of. Passing on to the next grade we I find women who do not cook them- ! selves, but talk about their help, what i trouble they have getting maids that j will set the table properly and all that. The next group takes in women who think it is a bit crass to discuss I the servant problem for small talk, but confine themselves to conversation about their children. Then there is the Europe group made up not or Europeans, but of people who have been to Europe once or twice and use Europe as a basis of their light conversation. The last and highest grade of society is confined to those who have become blase on Europe and never mention it. but stick closely to such topics as Newport and polo. When one can talk about practically nothing except polo and do it gracefully, then, so 1 am informed, one really belongs. (Copyright. 1914. by Fred C. Kelly. All rights reserved.) WHAT THE PAPERS SAY RACKS TP FOUNTAIN. To the Editor of The News-Times: To be forewarned is to be forearmed. I noticed the article written by George M. Fountain, in today's News and I am sure it will meet with the utmost approval of hundreds of loyal republicans in this city and county who are not going to let the wool be placed over their eyes in the coming campaign, by those who saw fit to desert their party in time of need, and are now out for offices on the republican ticket. Mr. Fountain is certainly correct, when he says that ninety per cent of the votes of the old soldiers will not be for the "candidates for the offices of judge, prosecutor, clerk, sheriff and auditor and others on the republican ticket, for none of these office seekers did a single thing for the republican ticket in the city campaign, and they want the republicans to vote for them now, and it is well

Harrison Blaine wanted pleasant excitement Away from the farm with its dull round of care: And went to the city to bring to fruition. His plan for success that the farm wouldn't share. He worked like a slave till he'd mastered tho secrets Of business success in a wonderful way. And people who knew him said Blaine was a genius Who'd make a broad mark on the city some day. He rose from the ranks to a weighty position And looked far ahead with a satisfied grin But along came a nephew of one who outranked him And pushed Blaine aside so the youth could step in. So back to the farm went our hero indignant And learned agriculture the most improved way; And found very soon that the businesslike farmer Gets more for his skill than the city will pay. N. P.

F. known that several of these office seekers worked secretly for the success of the citizens' ticket, and are now sorry for it, for they elected that bull mooser who tried so hard to disrupt the republican party in the national election. I feel no one is more entitled and surely no one is better qualified to give the feelin? of the rank and file of the republican party in this county, than Mr. Fountain. Being the life-long republican that he is, a son of a soldier who lost his life on the battlefield fighting for the union, a man who has held office with honor and trust, and a successful business man, who by his own efforts made him a big success, and who today has the utmost confidence of all classes of people throughout the county. It is time j that the republicans should wake up and retire for once and forever office seekers who would sacrifice their party and everything else for an office. Let us all rally around George M. Fountairrrand see to it that these men are forever placed in oblivion in the next campaign. If they would desert an old soldier, tried and true, would they not surely desert you? L. Pi. SMITH.
