Beebe to the position of food administrator district Chicago is a satisfactory way of for the suburban north of meeting the situation satisfactory to the people of this district. No one here wishes to be unjust to the merchants who serve us in the shops. No one here wishes to inflict a burden upon them which it is unfair to impose upon them. The people wish to be put into a position of com- plete understanding of the situation, to know what is right and to have some one with the capacity, to set a right standard and the authority to enforce it placed in charge of the We believe that such a man has been found in A. A. Beebe situation. and rely upon him to devise a plan by which a position may be gained here, fair both to the distributor and the handled in our shops. k kk kk Suffrage In New York. Suffrage for women in New York! consumer and the materials Success in the work which has been done in the Empire state has come at last and women can scarcely be- lieve that the returns of the election Tuesday are true. Votes for women in the two states which contain the largest cities of the nation is a gain for the cause which is significant of the loosening of the hold of organized politics upon the forces within the metropolis, as The slipping in of the suffrage reform well as in the outside districts. when the city of New York was con- vulsed with an internal struggle to re-instate Tammany in the municipal official strongholds speaks strongly for the independence of the rest of the that the minority in the vast city included an state and suggests affirmative vote upon the constitu- tional amendment proposition with their endeavor to shake off the re- newed grip of the Tammany tiger. The extension of the privilege of the ballot to the women of the city may make it possible at another time to repair the harm which has been done to the decent element of New York city by their failure to support the reform mayor in the primary elec- tion, thus putting the election into the hands of the organiation. The success of the suffrage issue in New York must not, however, re- duce the interest of the workers in "the passage of the Federal constitu- tional amendment in the next ses- sion of Congress. Another added to the ranks of suffrage states is no small gain, but it must be borne in mind always that there are many states in which it is very difficult to secure an amendment to the state in which it is constitution, some actually impossible. The state con- stitutional amendment route to suf- frage is at best most slow. The fed- eral amendment is the only certain and definite way. With New York added to the ranks of progressive states in which the women dre given equal rights with men in the govern- should be easier to convert the men who sit in ment of themselves, it Congress and who are still uncon- verted to the justice of the woman's cause. Every effort should be made by voters to impress upon their rep- resentatives in the federal law mak- ing mody the fact that Illinois is favorable to the cause of the enforce- ment of its women and expects her representatives in Washington to re- flect that policy in the action which will be taken on the federal amend- ment in this next session of Con-| gress. While the New York fresh in your mind, write to the con- success is gressman of this district and to the senators from Illinois. Do your part to complete the privilege which has just been extended to the women of New York to the women of Illinois and to those of the states in which there is not even the partial gift that has been accorded to your fellow members of the commonwealth. * * * * * Honor for the North Shore. The north shore is represented on the French front in a way no tper- mitted to many communities. Two Dr. Alice Brown and Madame Delebecque, are women from Winnetka, already serving in the hospital in Toul, lending their talent to the suc- cess of the cause which is so near to the hearts of all north shore folk" It is a very great honor to a wo- man physician to be accepted for service in the actual war zone. There are many loyal women members. of the medical profession ready to sac- rifice their personal interests and undertake the great physical strain of this work who are not permitted by the government to give them- selves to their country in behalf of the boys who are offering their lives for a principle. That Dr. Brown has been accepted is due to her recog- nized capacity for successful work and to the generous support, both financial and moral, which she has received from the community. The north shore is proud of its representatives in the European zone of horror. x kk kk The Socialist Meeting. Neither Winnetka north shore is proud of the showing which nor the was made at the Socialist meeting held in the public library building on Tuesday evening. A hundred men gathered in the lecture room to make and to listen to speeches char- acterized by disloyalty to the gov- ernment of the United States, oppo- sition to the policies of the adminis- tration, an attempt to excite dis- content with the conditions which the war has developed and an en- deavor to arouse in this enlightened community antagonism to the estab- lished order of things which might be turned to account to further the obstructionist activities of the So- cialist party. The under held anti-war meeting, while it was the guise of an gathering, was, in reality, a political meeting, planned and carried out as a means to the end of securing votes for the Socialist candidates for elec- tion to the judicial positions of the county. of the movement was shown in the results The effectiveness of Tuesday's election. The sympathy of the people of this vicinity with the' anti-war, anti-administration, anti- America npolicies which were 5 pressed and approved at this meet- ing will find little approbation with the people who have contributed as heavily as have these villages of the north shore to the ranks of men who are to be protected by the solidarity of the American people in the matter of making war against the Central powers of Europe. As a campaign measure, the meet- ing of the Socialists was a complete » failure. As an anti-war mesaure, it was likewise of little avail. But there should be little disposition on the part of the community to look com- plaisantly upon such gatherings, lit- tle consideration shown the expres- sion of the sentiment of disloyalty to the country, of antagonism to the cause in which our best young man- We should not be too tolerant with this unfaithful ele- hood is engaged. ment of the community, lest it under- mine the resistance of the thought- less to the foe who demands our all' for his undoing. OR we he Potatoes and Scripture. Last winter we were afflicted with a dearth of potatoes, and many a household was brought to feel the pinch of an incomplete meal because there were none to be had at a price in- commensurate with the family come. - This year we are urged to eat potatoes, so insistently urged that a week is appointed during which every housewife is asked to serve the tubers at least once each day, because they are the least expensive form of starchy food, and because they help to conserve bread and, hence, the wheat supply. One advantage certainly attaches to the war conditions as they affect the food of the nation. We are not likely to grow deeper into the habit of looking upon the food which we eat as the most important feature of the day, except as we can make our choice serve the nation. Perhaps we may discover a new significance the Master's words, "It is not tha which goeth into the mouth but which cometh out, which defileth man." Hardware and Paint 736 Elm St. Phone 48 J. F.
