THE COUNCIL OF WOMEN VOTERS. The Council of Women Voters recently proposed by Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, at the suffrage convention in St. Louis, has already been the subject ef criticism in some of the leading paper?. Aa read, the articles proposed do not sound especially formidable. The first aims to secure hnal enfranchisement for women of all countries. The second deals with the removal of legal discrimination against women which exists in many states. The third proposes to make democracy sai for the world; and Judging by European dispatches, it is high time that somebody did that little thing. The organization is to br a '"non-partisan body of women of all parties, not to promote campaigns of candidates but to work for measures." Whil it will se'k to better conditions civil and industrial, for women and children, still. Mrs. Catt explains, "it i.s ?n no sense a body of reformers, and will takf action as voters and through P-gisIation." Objectors to the idea so only a new party, based on sex instead of any of the time-worn party platforms, and merely substituting "tin women against the men" for '"the republicans aarainst the democrats." As a matter of fact it is nothing of the kind. It is tili assembling of a great body of votrs in an effort to lift legislation out of party politics. Tno way to keep it from being a se contest is for the men to join with the women in promoting, 'without regard to party lines, any measure which Ia manifestly for the public r0..d.

THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND E FORTHCOMING MEMBERSHIP CAMPAIGN. The Chamber of Commerce moem-ut to enlarge its membership. ar:d by s doing. nvri:se i:s usefulness, is directly e r.tial to tlo great work that South I'.end has before h r for th net two years; in fact for all tin.e to com. As tlo- agency for the execution of ciic nterpris s. it is the civic center of the city quite .rs triily ns the cit hall i- the political center.

the storm center for the formulation of the needed building program, nnd it N handling it well, though not well aa It m.ght handle H if its rnemberhip were four thousand or half of four thousand. in''tead of four hundred. It Is not alone the memherhip fef that nri- needed, though they are in-di:--iien able. Cooperation, and widespread Interest, drawing the popb tojErether, to rub elbows, and by partieij.ation in thf work leing done, having their prejudice eercome, is quite ns important as the mony. South llend cvn have a Chamber of Commerce full of public spirit, constantly striving for th" growth and development of municipal life, jas-t as well :i other cities can: as well j,s Flint can. Toi instance, or Contia or for a still larger example, take r-troit. The old "closed corporation" idea rannt maintain it. -a If wlu ti enough people pel together to break in the door: people big enough that, having broken In th" door, they .Jo not try to close It again. ami here the door mod not b broken In. It is thrown oc"-n. The Chamber wants the cooperation of the whole community, in head, hand and heart. ,ri well as purse. We are reaching the stage in our communal life, and tht is what it is. when more and more we realize, that the larger prosperity comes from that which serves best the greater r.um ber. I'vary South Ib-nd citizen should be unite as ready to join the Chamber of Commerce when the momheiVnip campaign open-: next Monday, as he ever v. as to join the IJ.-d Cross or subscribe to the "War Ch'.st." Tt is but to repeat, but we say it again, that the patriotism that asserts itself only when danger links around the corner, is nol patriotism at all. Such is only self-preservation, a first law of natur-. yeM. but true patriotism is m':e altruistic and serves in the name of humanity generally. Patriotism gives as we 11 as takes. It means sacrifice, not in self-inter-eL aione. or even as a first consideration, but just for an eiual chance. We do not like the simile, but we know of no better our descriptive of the man who Is not willing to do his share for the upbuilding of the community that he lives in, than the epithet ' that organized labor ascribes to his unorganized brethren. The bminess man. or professional man, dependent for his larger welfare upon the growth of the city In which he lives, and its fitness an a place for the people to live with whom he does business; well, wo would hardly call him a ".scab." but he is a "leach" Just in proportion as he profits from other people's community investment, In excess of his own rightful proportional investment. If he is here, enjoying the results of Chamber of Commerce activity, without cooperating in it, he la a "leach" upon the Chamber of Commerce, and upon the community Itpelf, just In that proportion. The Chamber of Commerce civic center of the community. has a great work before it, beneficial to everybody, and the purpose of the campaign along- with the rest, to reduce the number of "leaches" to a minimum. They used to call them "slackers"' in. war times, with reference to war activities, overdoing the use of the term a little we .sometimes think and anyhow, "leaches" is a better descriptive. The Chamber of Commerce-has set out to do for our civic life, advancement, and gTowth, in unomeial way, exactly what the Red Cross, V. W, C. A., etc., did for the war in unofficial way the difference bein.er only the natural differences between peace and war activities. Let us pet together now and do something worth while In peace.

The first chartered post of World War Veterans lias be-n named for Gen. Leonard Wood. And It could hardly be called a wood post at that.

There'll be a good excuse for wearing furs next summer. There's been so little use for them durlnsr the winter, you know.

One serious trouble with American statesmanship In this reconstruction period Is that toe many statesmen are running for president.

Other Editors Than Oars

Tili: WOKST YI7T. ( Louisville Courier-Journal.) It may be natural that United States senators who are incapable of considering the great question of the League of Nations from any anirle except that cf partisan politics should assume that such Is the angle from which the president of the United States considers it. but it is astonl.hinp that even partisan politics should be so prostituted as to charge, as some of these senators do, that Pres't Wilson desires the rejection of the League of N'ations covenant by the senate in order that thus there may be created an issue on which he may go before the country for a third term. Representative of the intellects which conceive, or pretend to conceive, such a scheme. Sen. Moses, of New Hampshire, announces that "if the president keeps on the way he has been going the country will be almost forced to the conclusion that he is deliberately planning to make the senate refuse to ratify the league proposal In order that he may become a candidate on that issue. To my mind there H only one conclusion to be drawn from this peculiar situation." Of course, it would b useless to discuss such a proposition with men who believe, or who pretend to in hove, that Woodrow Wilson is making hla great bebt f. r a League of Nations from a sordid motive; that he is not obsessed v.ith the conviction that the adoption of the league covenant is of Infinitely greater importance to the world, to the United State?, to any man, himself assuredly, than all other issues which are, or may come, before us. Moreover, it does seem that even Intellects thus clouded with partisanship could not fall to comprehend that if Mr. Wilson were really actuated In Iiis championship of this cause by selfish ambition, he would regard his success In effecting It as a glory far greater than another election to the presidencj'; that he wculd feel, as Theodore Roosevelt felt In 1910 when In urging a League of Nations he said that "the ruler qr statesman who should brinf about such a combination would have earned hi: dace in hi-tory for all time, and his title to the gratitude of all mankind. Furthermore, if these partisan republican senators real'y believe that Woodrow Wilson Is playing to have the Imrup of Nations covenant rejected by tli senate with a view to creating an issue on which he- may go before the country for another relertio to the presidency, the best counter political play they ran make Is to mtlfy the covenant In short order; for on the issu created by their defeat of the League of Nations covenant the republicans would swept from the field. It is lo be hoped that if any American president does stand for a third term the Nsiio thus made will not be subordinated by any other. Cut the iue of the U ague's rejection wcuhl so overshadow all oth-r issues that nothing Imi u.iuh! really c ount. liven politicians of thv Mums caliber ought to understand tbt.

The A bandoned Room A Mystery Story by Wadsworth Camp. (CONTINIKIJ.)

PTNorsis. nobby r.lMrT'Ura n fuirected cf tbe Murder of hU jrrandratber. SHjh Blackburn, who wai found dead with a small hole at tbe bane of hit brain, in aa abandoned are! locked room of ti heme, tie Cedara. Clrmmitan:ial v 1 3 e a c points to ts sjnilt of Bobby, who It enable to establish an alibi as a reau.lt of Ions of memory after a night of "gay life" lo New York, ppent In company cf Paradci. from I'anama, and Marie, a Fp.inlati woman. He awakes la a deMTted shark iie.ir trie Cedar and goes to the hoii.e, where he meeta his cousin. Katnerine, and rafcam, a friend. All agree that injktery surrounds the deata of te old man, who was ene of many Hla'-kbum' to die In same manner. Xiruuge sighs inrarlably mark 11 occasion of a deata in (be room.

Robinson didn't answer. Bobby saw that the man had discarded his intolerant temper. From that change he drew a new hope. He accepted it as the beginning of fulfilment of his prophecy last night that an accident to Howells and the entrance of a new man Into the case would give him a fighting chance. It was clearly Paredes at the moment who tilled the district attorney's mind. "Co after him," he said shortly to Rawlins. "If you can get away with it bring him back and whoever you find with him." Rawlins hesitated. "I'm no coward. but I know what's happened to Howells. ThL? isn't an ordinary case. I don't want to walk into an ambush. It would be safer not to run him down alone." "All right," Robinson agreed, "I don't care to leave the Cedars for the present. Perhaps Mr. Graham " Rut Graham wasn't enthusiastic. It never occurred to Bobby that he was afraid. Graham, he guessed, desired to remain near Katnerine. "I'll go, if you like," Dr. Groom rumbled. It was probable that Graham's instinct to stay had sprung from service rather than sentiment. The man, it was reasonable, sought to protect Katherine from the Cedars itself and from Robinson's too direct methods of examination. As an antidote for his unwelcome jealousy Bobby offered himself to Rawlins. "Would you mind if I came, too? I've known Paredes a long time." Robinson sneered. "What do you think of that, Rawlins?" But the detective stepped close and whispered in the district attorney's ear. "All right," Robinson said. "Co with 'em, if you want. Mr. Blackburn." And Bobby knew that he would go. not to help, but to be watched. The others strayed toward the house. The three men faced the entrance of the path alone. "No more loud talk now," the detective warned. "If he went on tiptoe so can we." Kven with this company Bobby shrank from the dark and restless forest. With a smooth skill the detective followed the unfamilar path. From time to time he stooped close to the ground, shaded his. lamp with his hand, and pressed the control. Always the light verified the presence of Paredes ahead of them. Bobby knew they were near the stagnant lake. The underbrush was thicker. They went with more care to limit the sound of their passage among Ihe trees. And each moment the physical surroundings of the pursuit increased Bobby's doubt of Paredes. No ordinary Impulse would bring a man to .uch a place in this black hour before th? dawn particularly Paredes. who spoke constantly of his superstitious nature, who advertised a thorough-paced fear of the Cedars. The Panamanian's decision to remain, his: lack of emotion before the tragic succession of events at the house, his attempt to enter the corridor Just before Bobby had gone himself to the old room for the evidence, his desire to dlrct suspicion against Katherine finally this excursion in response to the eerie crying, all suggested a definite, perhaps a dangerous, purpose in the brain of the sereno and inscrutable man. They slipped .to the open space about the lake. The moon barely distinguished for them the Hat, melancholy stretch of water. They listened breathlessly. There was no sound beyond the normal stirrings of the forest. Bobby had a feeling, similar to the afternoon's, that he was watched. He tried unsuccessfully to penetrate the darkness across the lake where he had fancied the wo mat) skulking. ' The detective's keen senses were satisfied. "Dollars to doughnuts they're not here. They've probably gore on. I'll have to take a chance and show the light again." Fresh footprints were revealed in the narrow circle of illumination. Testifying to Paredes continued stealth they made a straight line to the water's edge. Rawlins exclaimed: "He stepped into the lake. Howdeep is it?" The black surface of the water seemed to Bobby like an opaque glass, hiding sinister things. Suppose Paredes, Instead of coming to a rendezvous, had been led? "It's deep enough in th? center." he answered. "Shallow around the edges?" "Quite." "Then he knew we were after him," Groom said. Rawlins nodded and ran his light along the shore. A few yards to the rieht a ledpe of smooth rock stretched from the water to a grove of pine. trees. The detective arose and turned off his light. "lie's blocked us." he said. "He knew he wouldn't leave his marks on the rocks or the pine needles. No way to guess his direction now." Dr. Groom cleared his throat. With a hesitant manner he recited the discovery of the queer light in the deserted house, it? unaccountable dis.appearar.ee. their failure to find its source.

Uncle .am apparently has an eye to the htnesxs of things, for some time ago he placed a man named Penny on the reserve banking board, and Tuesday we learn that a ma::

named Barnes ha6 been appointed to have charge of the 1913 wheat crop. However, Uncle Sam didn't have anything on Mayor Carson'when the latter appointed a man named Kyser as one of the heads of the police department. Sometimes a man is "up in the air" on what course to ta.ke, and sometimes if he is not very carcfut he will take the wrong, course. One South Bend man has been in

that very same fix for the past few days, and he is not quite sure yet what to do. In spite of the advice of a number of well-meaning friends. The other day thi man went to Chicago like a great many South Bend citizens do, and also like a great many South Bend citizens do, he brought back with him a comfortable consignment of "wet" goods. Now this man knew that if the police saw him bring these "wet" joods into the city they would more than likely arrest him, confiscate his "wet" goods and take him to police headquarters. So the man hit upon a plan he believed would work perfectly, so when he reached South Bend he got the conductor to let him off the interr.rban at Winkler's stop, and. loaded on the outside, as well as somewhat within, with his newly purchased wet" goods, our hero got off the car and started home. Rut, alas! There were robbers and highwaymen near Winkler's stop, and these robbers and highwaymen saw our hero. They reckoned what he had in his carefully carried grips, and they pounced upon him. They beat him unmercifully, and then they took from him his "wet" wealth. They left him alone and exceedingly dry. Our hero was angered. In fact, he was mad clear through. Wasn't it enough to be beaten almost to death, to say nothing of having the li.juid fruits1 if there are any such things as that taken from him? Right away ho thought of the police, and decided to hurry there and

make his distress known. On the way

to X. Main St., however, our hero encountered a friend, and into his ear he poured his troubles, ending by telling the friend where he was going and what he was going to do. "Good Lord! You're not going: to tell the police, are you?" demanded the friend. k

"Why, you nut. don't you know that the police will arrest you for having the unlawful possession of liquor, and you may hae to stay in jail all night, and then go to trial in the morning and everything, and then you won't get your liquor back even at that?" Then our hero smiled a very do s-mile and decided to postpone his visit to the police for a little while, and then maybe he would decide, that he would not go to them at all. C. J. Cooper.
