ST. PAUL A SUFFRAGIST? If St. Paul really possessed an ironical, gently humorous vein, he may be admitted, even at this late date, to the ra s of suffrage believers and workers. Hitherto the? .mini have taken it for granted that the great pnaclu-r was against thir cause. Quietness, tneekne:. subjection were the words with which he taught the women of his day their place in the world or rather, in the home. Now. however, a. woman optimist has come forward in a letter, to 'The Nation"' to suggest that St. Paul was joking, ' poking für at his converts" in Corinth. He admitted frankly that he "became all things to all men" in order to win them. "To the weak 1 became weak that : ;night gain the weak." Undoubtedly his Corinthian audience as "anti" all but the ladies, who appreciated ins humor thoroughly. To the men he said. "Let the women keep silence. And if they would learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home." And the women smiled to themselves. It U unfortunate, at least for this woman's theory, that .t. Paul never abandoned that ironical attitudelong enough to express a truly sober opinion in favor of th feminists of his day.

A POLITICAL APPEAL TO KELK jIOUS FRENZY. Any tftort of the lepublicuns to induct religious frenzy into the presidential campaign, will do it mote harm than good, if we read the signs of the times aright. The moving picture lilm being produced in New York for the republican national committee, appropriating a complaint that has for a year or more been entertained by the Catholic clergy, with regard to Pres't Wilson's Mexican policy, is directly in point, Prom stagings at yheepshead bay, just outside the metropolis, the national committee plans by way of the movie screen to be employed by the various state committees, to drive Catholics info religious frenzy for Candidate Hughes, and against the president. Faked st ent s of Villaista atrocities against Catholic vnuns in Mexican convents, "while the president sleeps" with a picture of him sleeping at his desk, something like a drunken bum. are arranged for exhibition from the canvas. We dorbt if even the Catholic clergy, with it.s fie.piently annoum-ed opposition to Prest Wilson, will be able to stomach such un-American methods of campaigning. We are quite certain that better than the average among Catholic laymen will indignantly con.iemn it. and we have urave forebodings that when it comes to the priesthood dominating the parish in

matters political, it hits about the same sort of snags j that the Protestant ileiy does, if not sometimes, more! ... , i . . . . : ..11 '

taking of the republicans wll appeal to much more j

than the Catholic priesthood, if it makes any considerable appeal to that.

opposition faith in the one instance, and the demanding of an unwarranted favoritism in the other, a condition that shows its head every time a politico-ecclesi-asticiten undertakes to assert i t 1 f. and this, toe, regardless of whether it be of Catholic or Protestant leanings. We repeat that we cannot believe that the republicans will protit greatly with the masses of people by this move. Americanism is too deep-seated in the people of all faith?. They will reint it. The republican national committee in this, as in numerous others of ita campaign undertakingf, has underestimated the levelheadedness of the American people.

THE BIRD TREATY. For the first time, the United States has negotiated a treaty with a foreign nation for the protection of bird. Wild fowl which possess an international character by virtue of residing perioc' ically in Canada and the United sratt.;, hereafter be guarded by the co operative efforts of both countries. This is the longest step yet taken in trying to preserve valuable game, species from extinction and restore the old balance of nature that has been so seriously upset by the destruction of wild life. The department of agriculture estimates that the loss to crops In this country due to destructive insects amounts to more than $800,000,000 a year. A very large part of this loss is traceable to the indiscriminate and unlimited sla. hter of the birds that formerly kept insect multiplication within bounds. The economic argument for preserving nearly all varieties of birds is unanswerable. And such conservation is also in the interest of sportsmen and game lovers. Many species of game birds have become extinct and others are on the point ot vanishing. Hunters continually Increase in numbers, even while there is continually less to hunt. Laws have been feebly enforced. Lately, however, there has been marked improvement both in legislation and in the public attitude toward the problem. Nearly all the states have enacted more stringent protective game laws, and tightened the enforcement of old laws. Federal action has helped to unify state measures and to do what they could not do In safeguarding the migratory birds. The new treaty admirably supplements that work.

NO MORE "WICKED PARIS." Pans, it is announced, is to be "cleaned up." The city that has long had the reputation of being the wickedest place in the world is to change its character. Or rather, it is to change its reputation, by getting' rid of the superficial evils that have served to conceal itti character. For it is said by those who really knowthat famous "city of light," that the wicked Paris of the tourist never ex'sted. Paris has been misunderstood and defamed because of its extreme tolerance. It has had its gaiety, its frivolity, its Haunting vice; but in them the genuine Parisian hns had small share. The well known cafes and the questionable resorts have been run almost entirely by foreifcner. and patronized by foreigners. The people of Paris, more serious and home-loving than the casual visitor could imagine, have gone about their own decent affairs and let the foreigners play and gossip. Hereafter Paris is not to be so tolerant. The flaunting vice and commercialized frivolity are to be swept away. Paris is to represent more adequately the moral qualities that have been made known in this war as the true characteristics of the French nation. That will be a line thing for France, and also for the tourists who in past years have thought it pardonable to commit, in Paris, the follies they would not have committed at home.

A CHILDREN'S HEALTH CENSUS. The Chicago board of education has decreed that no pupil shall be accepted by any school for the opening fall term without a physician's certiticate showing that the pupil has r.o contagious or infectious disease, and that there is no such disea.se in his family. The examinations are made free of charge. Doubtless there are many other cities doing likewise. And it would be an excellent thing if every city in the country would adopt

j the same plan.

The policy in this case is inspired by fear of infantile paralysis. Put it is evident that the salutary effects will go vastly further than protection against

WASHINGTON. Sept. IS. An interesting quirk of the political campaign has been the effort of republicans to deny the democratic administration credit for preventing a panic immediately after the outbreak of the European war in 1914. Republican spellbinders, in their desire to attain partisan advantage, have harped upon the fact that at the time the war broke out the Federal Reserve system was not in operation and that the government, in ifs efforts to forestall a panic in that momentous August, relied solely upon financial laws which were the creations of republican congresses. Emphasis has been placed by republican debaters mainly upon the fact that in the "parlous" period after the outbreak of the war most effective preventive operations by the treasury department were based upon an utilization of the AldrichVreeland. dernergency currency act. It is of the record that the federal reserve act was not established until months after the European war crisis had bee weathered, but confidence had been inspired by public knowledge of the imminence of the new currency system's establishment and by the foresight of the democratic congress in amending the Ald-rich-Vreeland act so as to make it a workable instrumentality for easing financial stringency. The bold spirit in which Sec'y of the Treasurer McAdoo and Pres't Wilson essayed certain unprecedented acts to supply the credit needs of the country also had its effect in maintaining financial equilibrium. Rcol Scnitinios Mill. An exposition of the question that will bear the strictest non-partisan scrutiny was made by Sen. Heed of Missouri in a speech in the senate Aug. 29. The senator gave a brief history of each financial panic that had occurred under the operations of the national banking system created by the republicans, showing that these disturbances "were all thrust upon the country by causes which compared with the vast volume of the country's business, were so small as to appear inconsequential." With similar references to the "inefficient and dangerous system which the republican party for CO years maintained and bequeathed to the democratic party." Sen. P.eed went on to show how the democrats sought, first, to recify the fundamental faults in the credit structure and, second, to cope with such immediate dangers as were created by the European war. Here are excerpts from Sen. Reed's address, in which democratic foresight is extolled with a very excellent show of logic: "In order to provide for existing emergencies and such contingencies as might arise before the new banking and currency system could be inaugurated, the democrats revised the Aldrich-Vreeland act. "That bill had been a dead letter upon the statute books for six years. It was absolutely unworkable, because both interest charges and the character of securities required were prohibitive. In its entire history the Aldrich-Vreeland act had never been utilized. Interest Clia rgot Ilcductxl. "We revised the Aldrich-Vreeland law so that interest charges were reduced to Ihree percent and the character of securities broadened so that money could be obtained upon those collaterals generally held by financial institutions. "These amendments to the Aldrich-Vreeland act were in force and the Federal Reserve system was in process of creation when the European war suddenly broke upon the world. "I have referred to the small causes which produced panics for 40 years. I now challenge attention to the conditions produced by the European war which was declared on Aug. 2, 1914. "The cotton crop of the south was selling at 14 cents a pound. On the morning of Aug. 2. 1914. it was of the aggregate value of $750.000.000. On the evening of that day cotton had shrunk to three cents a pound a loss of $390.000,000. On the value of this crop depended substantially all of the business and commercial prosperity of tnat great domain lying south of the Mason and Dixon line. "Calamity did not fall on the south alone. For 60 days praetically all shipments of every kind to

t Europe were discontinued. Our coun

try was under substantially the same kind of embargo as would have been produced had our shores been infested by the war fleets of some puissant enemy. "International exchange was completely disarranged. ".'.11 European banks restricted or suspended payments.

LOVE AM) WKALTH. (Scranton, Pa.. Times). John D. Rockefeller, in a brief address which he delivered on Sunday afternoon in a church in Cleveland to the congregation, declared that his greatest happiness Jid not consist in his wealth, but in love. Mr. Rockefeller speaks of love in the same sense in which St. Paul wroe of charity. The affection of his friends and his family, the confidence which his fellow citizens place in him, the consciousness of his own integrity, are more to him than the va-st wealth w hich he has accumulated and which is s.s useless to him personally as tne pebbles on the beach. Those to whom the burdens of wealth have been denied will set down Rockefeller as a hypocrite. It is ea.cy for a man who is wealthy, they will say, to pretend to despise wealth. Money is power. The individual who does not live for power, the ascendency of his personality, does not live at all. Yet Mr. Rockefeller is undoubtedly sincere. Money will buy anything in the world but love and health. If it can not purchase a good reputation, it can gild a bad one, to make it look like new. Although Andrew Carnegie is yet a rich man, he has stripped himself of wealth which would ransom a king and kingdom. He declared a few days ago that so far from regretting the dissipation of his wealth in works of public utility, he is immensely and complacently satisfied with the disposition which he has made of it. We can not definitely deny the veracity of the individual testimony of immensely rich men from Croesus to Rockefeller that wealth so far from bringing happiness when it exceeds the self-satisfying manipulation of the individual who possesses it, becomes a kind of nightmare. The miser is only one degree removed from the leper. He is eaten alive by the microbes with which he is infested, avarice and fear. There is a species of alienation very prevalent in the United States, known to psychologists as "money madness." It is as well defined as idiocy. It is not an affliction peculiar to rich men. On the contrary, it affects most seriously those who. as a rule, are on the road to wealth, but who have not yet reached that goal, and who are not confident that they will ever reach it. Their day is one long adventure in scraping and scheming to get ahead. Some do and of exhaustion in the realization oi their purpose. Hut the in

finite majority of them from one generation to the next, subordinate love and happiness to what men like Rockefeller and Carnegie assert to be mere phantom.

Wi: COULDN'T Hi; STARVED. (Chicago Herald.) One worry of the fighting nations

need not keep the United States j awake, the national chamber of j commerce linds. The report of the j committee on statistics and stand- ; ards, recently published, proves that j no matter how severe a blockade m'Sht be drawn about the country i it would be impossible to starve j American stomachs into capitula-, tion. j It would be necessary to get along without importations of coffee, tea i

and cocoa, but all these are classified by the committee as luxuries. The most impressive point, the committee says, is that while the population of the country has increased 200 per cent in half a cen

tury its food production has been j increasing in the same period from 50 to :',00U per rent in prime com- j modities. j The most important produce wheat has increased in production ! "60 per cent and corn 270 per cent. ; The production of rice shows the j greatest increase, being :;,000 per ; cent, and barley comes, second with j 2,000 per cent. Oats and Irish po- i tatoes have increased in production 475 per cent and 250 per cent re- ! spectively. ! The importation of luxuries is '. held to be entirely a question or taste, and our extensive use of them ! an evidence of our ability to gratify ! this taste and not a matter of ne- I cessity. In case of stress we could j well get along without them, as was ' generally done in the south during ' the civil war, which is a different proposition from not raising enough wheat for our own use and trying to get alon-s without that. A definite proof of surplus pro

duction of agricultural products beyond our needs, according to the report, is the fact that each year we carry from the former harvest into the succeeding harvest from 20 to 25 per cent of the yield of the principal cereals.

TIIK KINGS KNOW. ( Philadelph a Ledger.) Those ingenuous souls among the pacifists who have been assuring a war-weary world that if the rulers who started the war really knew what actual war rieant they would rot provoke it or keep it are arguing without their host. Never in all history have those at the head of things known what the actual horrors are more minutely than is the case just now. There is not a king or an emporer or a president or a premier who has not been in the trenches and at the front in all seasons and on all occasions. The recent visit of King George to France

No: whether for weal or woe, the kings, know what war means, and th knowledge has not lessened their determination to fight it out till a durable peace is in sight.
