AN OPEN FIELD FOR WOMEN IN MUNICIPAL STATESMANSHIP. Non-Partlsan Uag-ucs have performed a Rreat HrJco more than once in the uri;ication of Anur icn cities. They have more than once performed x irni1.ir service in the promotion of municipal economy. The non-artisan league, fundamentally at Uaat. has as its Idea1, the r-Ublic s-rvice, as a rule, and is generally receive el as an inspiration by p who think of communities in the ÜRht of laro Xjmilits. with affair to be nocioloirically idrninittTfd. rather than as business corporations to b-s administered for private Rain. With the coming of the ballot to American worn j here is a line of service that they can undertake, and holding: a larpre balance of power in tho omrnunity, pretty near force the hand of any political party, and compel it to do the public will; s-rvin the community flrt. Men have done it with but a mere handful of th-m devoted to tho t:?k; that is, they hive done it on occafiuns. If American worsen are to measure up anywhere neav to what thv. advocates of suffrage have anticipated for them, here is thoir fort and let them tak it. Wo believe it H i mighty good time now, with the coming of the ballot to women, to revive tho movement for non-partisan commission ove'rnment. The yaloons are pone. That old thorne in the llesh of municipal politics ha been removed. The sore ,$ still there but it v 111 heal with the years. After another campaign or so, what i known as the "wH" and "dry" vote the "spotless town" and the "open town" vote. will have vanished. The government of cities will then revert to its prorer sphere! that of making community life worth thi while. Instead of debating through each campaitf.i l;ow t Iiis man or that man will respect the lav with reference to the accommodation of thirsty "Mots." attention will be given to our educational life, the public health, the "city beautiful" if you please, with a larger ifer nee to the maintenan e of our streets, lighting system, our parks, and other asrenci-s of public crjoymeiu and convenience. U'hy not then, not alone th- r.on-partL-'an comniission government, imt even farthe r, adopt the ity manager rdan ? Get the city out of politic.-, as far as possible. WTy v.ol iiae a "city lather" and li!;" --o many good children ttir" over to him, the direction of th municipal family. rhaps th ila i somewhat fanciful, but a number of cities have !ri'd It, and we have beard of none of them .qoin-J lack; tri-d it to the extent of the "city manager" plan at Jeat. lTnd r .uch a system, when things go wrong you know v ho to poin cur tinge It isn't a "hide and seek" s stem such a wo al e operating under now. Tlu re is an opp"rL-.'iuty h re fur some constructive statt smanhl : a U"od thing to b- taken up by the next csvon f tht b-ihnure to const b-r. th it 9 is?, if the party m pov.r does not regard itself o well entrenched tin' it n ed not, and does not propose to let so any of th reins.

Idtter for t lie- politicians. Wo mention it in passing; that is It is only h suggestion off.rcl with full faith in the ellicacy of such an achievement. Why not? Answer it yourself.

THEIR OWN RISK. A young woman in New York city accepted th) invitation of a stranger to ride in his car. Improved to b a reckless driver, there was an aceident and the g.tl was injured. She s :ed the man for fie. 000 damage. The jury decided that girls who accept rides from strangers take their own rUk.v It r..ay svera a harsh decision from scm poin's of view, but it is emmeatly just and may teach a needed lesson to the hosts cf foolish young women who are in the habtt o: taking rides with Htrang? men. There has h vn a great deal of mawkish sympathy wasted on the subject of girl.- who are "lured" !nto machinert by strangers. In nine cases out of tan these ?rirs are voluntarily breaking a known conventional rule Intended for thir own protection. If thy lind that the unsavory advt r.ture.-i with which they ino't are coldly regarded as matters cf private responsibility, the effect may be salutary. The girl who sticks to the lighted streets and the public conveyance where she belongs will have

crod f damages or public bympalhy.

SELF-DETERMINATION AND FREEDOM FOR ALL EXCEPT IRELAND. nf course. Dr. H. A. White of Chicago, guest ana speak r bifor- the Knife and Fork club Tuesday night, is entitled to lull courtesy, and confidence in Ids hora tj from his point of view. This can be accorded him. however, without accrediting to him other than a v:eW from a very narrow point. It is easy enough, in d i u s i r g a great ami massiv document, like the I-aris treaty and League of .'- lion covenant, to pick out a .-entenco or a paragraph here and there, or a condition left here and there untouched, and magnifying it from a molehill into a mountain, appear exceedingly wise to the uninitiated. One bound to be considerate of Dr. White, vince admitting his lack of admiration for Pres't Wilson, ho is so wrapped up in his "14 points." ;o believe they wouhl have settled future wars in Kurope had they been adhered to in the framing of the treaty, lie accuses the president of lacking the "'courage of his convictions," lse the "14 points" would have controlled the treaty nepotiaMions. and all would have been well with the ship; he. assuming, to be .sure, that they were not adhered to, and asserting it. without proof, expecting his word to be takea as "of course." Such allegiance to the "14 pointV is refreshing, since If It develops that they we.-e adhered to, and that Dr. White misrepresented that phase of his subject, wars in ilurope ouht to be permanently done away with. Hut we are in much the name predicament as Dr. White. pare her"' will not permit Us to deal with that lengthy document in toto, to U.'p"ovj his representations. It would take a whole newspaper. The bent we can do i to deal with the little .slip.in the operation of his vhcels of thought; hb forget, fulness, addenda, or dependence upon the forgetfulness of his auditor?, that the school of critics to which h belongs wre just as prolific in their condemnation of the "14 points" while the treaty was in the making, as he is now in his praise of them. It was their influence upon Paris through press propaganda, and "round robins," that made the president'- task of adherence o cumbersome. It was never until long after the treaty had gone before congress, when in two little places it was lound that the "14 points" had presumably been neglected so pronounced by the treaty's enemies. acting on advices from Dublin and lierlin. that Ihn virtue of those "points", were ever opened to discovery. They have been the acme of virtue with t t hese critics ever since. That had Dr. White addressed the Knife and Fork club here two years ago. he would have condemned the "14 points," jut for tho pake of criticism, as ru now upholds them, is logically certain. Take his referenc? to the doctrine of "self-determination." &s a sample: ( "Only three instance? of justice were &hown at the Paris conference, that of giving back Poland her land which had been In possession of Clermany, the birth of Czecho-Slovakia. and the establishment of a government in Austria. The rest ot the story of the peace conferenceis very discouraging end the seeds sown at that conference will result in future world wars as sure as there is a Clod in heaven. "Things were never as they are at the present time. The giving of the Saar valley, to France will result in more Alace-Dorraine dispute.. Soon Germany Ls going to cast longing eyes on that valley and the result will be a war between (iermany and France. There was never a more damnable thing in the history of the world than the transferring of Shantung to Japan. "Fgyr t. Morocco. Arabia. India, the Philippines and Armenia have been pleading for independence and if the peace conference were based on justice these smaller nations would be allowed their independence," whicli is the gist of his whole lecture; this and his: "Trust in lod. Oh America. Increase your armies and build more battleships." And it furnishes tho key to Dr. White's knowledge. He has read J. M. Keynes' "Economic Consequences ot the Peace," swallowed it in a gulp, and given it to us soeend-hand. digested for American consumption. Mr. Keynes being an Englishman, opposed to Iiish independence, naturally neglected to mention Ireland as among the "smaller nations' which the peace conference, if based upon justice, lu- says, would have "allowed their independence." and Dr. White, loval to hi tutor, makes the same identical omisn-ion. Why not Ireland? Has any people thirsted for independence more, or cried for it more loudly ; Why Kgypt, Morocco, Arabia, ltdia. Armenia and the Philippines, and not Ireland? Is this latter-day advocacy of the gospel o "self-determination" a gospel to be applied by us sudden advocates, on some basis of territorial proximity or religious prejudice or whim? Dr. White knows ao every intelligent American ought to know that it was not the mission of the Versailles conferer.ee to remap the world, or fet up new nations, outside the domains of the conquered foe. It was Ok re to make a peace with Germany and with Austria and Hungary and Turkey. Peyond that the conference set up a League of Nations, making it a party to the treaty, for the enforcement or modification get that modification of the peace there agreed upon, into consonance with the conscience of the world. The Versailles conference would hive gotten a long ways toward settling a peace with Germany had they set ahout to carving up each ether! The suggestion of such a thing is the veriest moonshine. What the confer nee did do was to fet up a League of Nations to which any of these smaller peoples having friends can have their claims submitted and their cause considered. Why not be logical, or at leist rea.-onably so, about, this thing? The election is over. Why not include Ireland in your category of proposed "free nation:" expand on your book tutor, dear doctor .' The omission is significant of oodles of them, characteristic of the whole talk, and neither are we pleading the cause of Ireland. We are merely urging consistency. Why eliminate Ireland, of all the oppressed, probably the most deserving of relit f. o IVis savs ho doesn't care to be s-et at Liberty. Why should he. when as matters -stand, he's at liberty to say any old thing he ph.aes? o That vote of Massachusetts, in the late election, in favor of beer and lipht wines, may be set down as a mere academic txprtv-sion of a prtfereuce.

They never said to Captain Kidd That pirate of a vanished time Although of course, the laws forbid Your rather ruthks.4 form of crime. We still will let you fail tho sea And scuttle ships, in the event, Thot you will privately agree To cut your scuttling lu percent." They never said to Jesse James Who looted safes and plundered banks, "Although our jurisprudence alms To punish all such evil pranks. We know that you have built a trade And do not purpose it's destruction, We'll let you loot, when you have made At least a 10 percent reduction." You do not tell the burglar, who Comes climbing up your porch at night. And takes, without tho least ado Your watch, your money and his flight, "I know you have a crooked bent: That swag I will not miss a bit; Put I'd be pleased If you'd consent To leave me 10 percent of it." Put in these more enlightened days We do not follow statute books For we've discovered that it pays To make a compromise with crooks. This method has a strong appeal 1 To thugs and profiteers and such. If we will only let thrfh steal They'll promise not to steal too much. (Copyright, 1 f20.
