Wprnan Suffrage Progress
'-New York World (dam.)-
When m 1915 woman suffrage was defeated at
the polls in New Jersey, Massachusetts. Pennsyl
vania and New iork,-it looked as though the ter
ritory east of the Mississippi would remain
closed to it for a decade at least. The following
year the voters of Iowa, South Dakota and West
Virginia rendered thetsame verdict. But after
January 1, 1917, there was a marked change, and
during the first five months of the year the suf
Jrafrists scored victories in state after state.
The plan of campaign this year, in the main,
was based on that which proved successful in
1913 m Illinois, where women were by act of the
state legislature granted the rich TCI VAtat 4Vit
constitution. In January. North Dakota extended
to women the suffrage m presidential and local
elections. In February.'.Indiana passed a similar
law, but the state supreme, court a few days ago
declared" it to be unconstitutional. In April.
Rhode Island and Nebraska passed presidential
and local woman suffrage bills, and in May,
Michigan, a presidential suffrage bill. In tJie
mean time, Arkansas had made women voters in
primary elAtions on equal terms with men, and
Vermont had conferred the right of suffrage on
women taxpayers in municipal elections. Ohio
adopted the course of passing last February a
presidential woman suffrage law, which was sub
mitted to a referendum Tuesday and defeated.
, Contrary to the policy followed in so miny
-'states, the suffragists in Maine and New York
appealed to the voters to amend the state consti
tutions. In Maine last September they were
beaten by .a vote of 38.838 to 20,604. Two years
5??Jt vote in thi s,ate stood 5H457 for and
iil.i'j aeainst the sutTra
verse majority of 184,390. Yet this year it tri
umphed by more than 90,000 majority. Suffra
gists complain of the work and time required for
state action, but we have never yet heard of a
political reform that was permanently estab
lished by ..any .oth method.. ' . -
Political Aspects of the War.
The fall of the Painleve ministry of France,
on the eve of the assemblage at Paris of the inter
ally war council, brings the politics of the war
to the front for the moment. Prof. Painlcve's
cabinet was a makeshift affair, not expected to
endure; In fact, it was organized under circum
stances that assured its early downfall. Blun
ders in connection with the lately uncovered .Ger
man conspiracies in France are responsible for
the failure, a direct vote of the deputies having
endorsed the military policy, so the crisis can
not be taken as affecting the position of France
in the war. President Poiflcare is proceeding to
give the country a new cabinet, that the council
may proceed without the shadow of a disorgan
ized government over it.
Some of the debate in London over the Lloyd
George speech at Paris has a flavor similar to
that which has embittered French politics of late.
In England, in France, Italy and America exist
political groups who would rather see Germany
win than have the Alljes victorious under pres
ent leadership These extremists, tory or other
wise, are in the minority, although their aborts
are the source of continual embarrassment. Their
present criticism of the inter-ally war council is
forced, and not sincere. The scope of the plan
does not include the subordination of one nation
or the other, but looks to effective co-ordination
of the strength and efforts of all. Co-operation
on well-defined lines is absolute! needed if the
Allies are to win at the least possible expense.
Emperor Carl's boast that the Germans have
won. so far because of their complete union is
well justified. Similar unity of action will be
established between the Allies, in spite of the
selfish opposition of short-sighted politicians, who
would sacrifice all else in preference to giving over
their own opinions or prejudices.
Thanksgiving as Usual
The Bee joins in the protest entered 1y the
World-Herald against the . edict of the State
Board of Control for abandonment of Thanks
giving observance by the inmates of Nebraska's
state institutions. There is no good reason, so
far as we can see, why the unfortunate wards of
the state should not have Thanksgiving as usual
this year, at least to the exteht of a Thanksgiving
flavor to the day's doings and a Thanksgiving
twist to the day's menu. President Wilson has
issued his proclamation as usual, calling atten
tion to the blessings for which we should be
thankful in spite of the disturbance and havoc of
war and if those of us who are expected to look
out for ourselves are to have a national holiday
as usual, including the Thanksgiving feast, why
should not the helpless folks in our care tie treated
just as considerately? It is not, as we all know,
a question of waste or of cost fpr the Thanks
giving extras can easily be made' up by a little
saving before or after. The inmates of our state
institutions have little enough to give thanks for
ordinarily, and should not have that little made
less. .-V :
Roundup of the I. W. W. in Order. ,
1 The prompt action of the federal authorities
in arresting the1 1. W..W. .gang assembled it
Omaha will have the approval of right-minded
folks. These brazen advocates of disorder openly
advertised their gatherings here, announcing plans
for their meetings and 'promising a demonstra
tion that, happily has been checked. What the
outcome might have been can only be conjec
tured, but, experience of other 'communities, is
Warrant for believing1 that Omaha has been spared
a ; serious infliction ' by the act of the United
States marshal in getting the "delegates" behind
the bars. A visitation from' these malcontents
and apostles of disloyalty is Unwelcome at any
time and particularly now is their presence for
any purpose undesirable. Sympathy for men in
their industrial position must not blind any to
the danger that follows allowing them freedom
of action. Our government is alive to a full
sense of the menace from this source and wc
trust the move ma3e here will aid in some way
the efforts being made-to render the I. W. W.
harmless. America suffers enough from . Bol
shevikism in time of peace and the doctrine anb!
its advocates are alike intolerable in. time of
war, . . ' ; ' ,
4 Test for the Adamsen Law.
i - , i ' - ,:
Renewed talk of a strike of members of the
big four railroad brotherhoods will cause public
wonder as to whether any virtue exsist in either
the- Adamson law 'or the Newlands law it was
devised to supplement. The' federal board of
mediation and conciliation is in session at Cleve
land and President Wilson addresses Judge Cham
bers, its chairman, expressing a hope . that the
differences, will be compounded, to the end that
no interruption of traffic will take "place. The
law was passed when America was at peace with
the world: its early, application was made under
conditions' that led to a surmise at least 'that the
pact between the brotherhoods and the managers
would continue in force for the term of the war
and that traffic would not be menaced by threats
of strike. It is worthy of note that the managers'
are at this time before the Interstate Commerce
commission renewing their application, for an in
crease in freight rates.' Whether or not there is
any connection between the two; events does not
much matter. The principal interest of the public
is that the railroads be kept in operation to the
extent of their capacity. If the Adamson law,
will riot afford means for doing this 'another
way must be found. . '
Rumor Mill Still Busy. r
! ,The most effective of all pro-German propa
ganda methods has been the rumor mill, and it
still is busy. Its output is enormous and'varie
gated, and dangerous. Not a day goes by but
official denial is made' to one or another Tumor,
all too silly to belie ve but each gaining some cre
dence. It is remarkable that enlightened people
will give car to yarns that bear on their face
proof of their falsity, but the spread of ridiculous
canards, reflecting in some way on the honesty
or sincerity of the 'government or people who are
working with it, is startling. ItNdoes not answer
to blame the government because of its policy of
secrecy. . Information concerning army move
ments and military plans in general must be kept
quiet. This does not excuse the acceptance of
sensational stories passed from mouth to mouth,
always gaining in detail and. ever keeping-just
ahead of denials. More confidence in the authori
ties and patience in waiting for definite.reports is
needed. People should reflect a little, think for
themselves and apply the test of reason to gossip
they hear. By doing so they will deprive the
German rumor mill of a market for its output.

Patriotism in Hawaii
By Fre eric J. Haskin
Washington, Nov. 12. A short time ago Ha
waii was in a state of great excitement over whit
appeared to be an unexplainable mystery. On
the sugar plantations the employes talked it over
and discussed the advisability, of informing the
United States government; in the mountain
passes the men armed themselves with rifles and.
in the cities, especially around the fortifications,
guards were stationed. And the tause of all this
nervous activity was a country school teacher,
who chose to spend her vacation touring the isl
ands, armed with a . camera and a notebook.
Such conduct in Hawaii at this time could haVe
but on meaning. The young woman must be a
German spy. She was. of course, going about
collecting information for the Germans, photo
graphing' fortifications and, worst of all, spread
ing anthrax germs, the last being the popular
German atrocity in Hawaii. Htnce, when the
school teacher returned to her village, with a note
book full of notes arid several rolls of film, she
was at once taken into custody by a National
Guardsman and her possessions cartfully exam
ined. To the great disappointment of the authori
ties, the pictures were all ,of unimportant tWngs,
such as sunsets, volcanoes and people not one
view of a fortification, bridge or training camp.
As soon as the United States declared war on
Germany the Hawaiian National Guard, acting on
orders received from the War department, began
to mobilize. Following the policy iu, vogue in the
states, married men and those having dependents
were discharged from the organization and new
members recruited to take their places. There
was much talk among the young Hawaiians con
cerning what they were going. to do when they
met the Germans. Then it suddenly ceased; the
recruiting fell off and the talk changed to ways
of obtaining exemptions. Word had -been re
ceived from the War department that the Ha
waiian guard would not be drafted into the fed
eral service. '
This was a keen disappointment. Instead of
being sent to France themselves, the men learned
that they were to increase their number for home
defense and thus relieve the troops of the United
States regular army. In this, however, they are
more than performing their duty.. If afortress
remains unprotected or a German spy undetected
it is not the fault of the Hawaiian National Guard.
Such patriotism is all the more "striking when
you realize that Hawaii, like,America, is a melting
pot of many different races. Chinese, Japanese,
Portuguese, Filipinos and Porto Ricans make up
the larger part of its population, while the pure
Hawaiians are' now only a small percentage. In
the National Guard there is one company made up
of Hawaiians, Portuguese, Filipinos and Japan
ese; another company is constituted wholly of
Japanese and still anotfier contains only Fili
pinos. " . .' V " '
The guard now numbers 4,700. members. ' Be
fore the .United States declared war it was di
vided up into various companies, which policed
the islands. Now it is consolidated into two regi
ments, which are receiving thesame camp train
ing that American soldiers .are receiving in the
United States. , Officers' training Jcamps for the
purpose of turning civilians into ofncers.have also
been established, every effort being made to pre
pare Hawaii to defend itself. -;v: i
Although Hawaii is presumably, far from be
ing a vital factor in the present war, it is this
country's most .strategic .possession in the Pa
cific ocean and " is therefore vital enough in the
national defense policy. , Prior to 1898 Hawaii
lead a turbulent existence; decimated by frequent
wars, exploited by adventurers and badly ruled
by irtefficienfmonarchs.' The first Hawaiians were
some of the fittest of the Polynesian race, who
survived a journey across the Pacific ocean' in
canoes anti set up their abodes on three of the
islands. This journey is supposed by historians
to have taken place about 500 A- D. For a long
period there were ) repefjted voyages back and
forth between Samoa and the islands and then,
so far as can be traced by' the ancient folk-songs
and legends, they ceased.,? Hawaii became a na
tion in itself, with new national customsnd a
distinct national religion. , -'.,',;:. 'r' '
Its organization, was based on the feudal sys
tem in its worst form, consisting of three classes
the nobility, the priests and medicine men and
the common people. All. the land befonged to the?
chief, who distributed it according' to his whims
among) the nobility and the nobility in turn dis
tributed it among the common people. In gov
erning the people the chief ' and his nobles were
aided by the priests, who, being in direct com
munication with the gods, were very powerful.
The Hawaiians -were excellent specimens , of
a stalwart race when Captain Cook and his crew
first discovered the islands. Like the Indians of
North America, the Hawaiians mistook the early
adventurers for gods and were' gradually disillu
sioned by bitter experience. .: So bitter, indeed, was
the disillusion that it resulted in the death of
Captain Cook. ,
.... V ,
After this Hawaii's isolation was over. Other
ships began to come, but they left the islands un
impressed, partly because their first disappoint
ment had been so great and ;partly because they
were at that time' intensely occupied 'with their
own affairs. A new and powerful chief had arisen
and was subjugating the island by conquest, aided
by the goddess of fire, Pele, who obligingly, caused
the volcano, Kilauea, to erupt and destroy a large
part of his opponent's army?" -The name of. this
favored chief was Kamehameha 'I,' Hawaii's one
great man. How he gathered the reins of govern
ment into his own. hands, and consolidated the
various tribes into one autocracy; how he pro
moted the agriculture of the islands and gave
them a foreign policy and how he punished de
linquents are all traditions of which any Ha
waiian can tell you. But Kamehameha's succes
sors were too weak to-follow in his footsteps. ;
yv Gradually a government was evolved, with
executive, legislative and judicial departments, and
a liberal constitution was obtained' by the people.
Hawaii might have been a'nation yet ha3 it not
been for the attempts of subsequent rulers to re
pudiate this constitution. V It .was such an at
tempt which caused Hawaii's last queen, Liliuoka
lani, to lose her crown and influenced the people'
to sue for annexation. v " '
.i Now Hawaii still has its constitution, but it is
governed by an American governor. There is
little left of the old Hawaii. Even the race itself
'is slowly decreasing in numbers, while in its
place foreigners and half-Hawaiians cultivate the
sugar crops and gather the pineapples. Indeed,
Hawaii is today thoroughly, American, with its
melting pot of many racev its respect for Ameri
can Institutions, its National Guard and its firm
and unmitigated hatred of the American enemy.

, 'Flrm Against Vaccination.
Fremont, Nov. 12. To the Editor of
The Bee: The Omaha Board of
Health, at the expense of the taxpay
ers, is putting forth a pamphlet com
piled and published by the medical
trust, otherwise known as the Ameri
can .- Medical association, entitled
"Smallpox.' This pamphlet is a one
sided, partisan defense of vaccination.
It abounds in misstatements supported
by half truths. Complete refutation
of its every claim can be found in a
worjt in the Omaha public library by
one of the greatest scientists of his
timer Alfred Russell Wallace. The
work is entitled "Vaccination a Delu
sion; Its Penal Enforcement a
Crime," and it will be ound there
In the Volume, "X Wonderful Cen
tury." 1
In his "Life," also in the library
along with many of his scientific works.
Prof. Wallace says: "I feel sure the
time is not far distant when this
("Vaccination, etd') will be held to
be one of the amost important and
most truly scientific of my works."
"The great difficulty," he adds, "is
to get it read. The subject is extremely
unpopular. Yet jis presented by Mr.
William White in his 'Storyof a Great
Delusion' it is seen to b(T at once a
comedy and a tragedy."
The tragedy of it impels me to urge
all who would form a Just opinion
carefully to examine Wallace's work,
remembering h had himself accepted
the vaccination dogma and only after
much urging undertook an independ
ent investigation. A public informed
upon, the subject would never toler
ate the distribution at its cost of the
American Medical association pam
phlet mentioned above.

Editor of The Bee: We have had
sqme disappointments during the last
... 1, nAnMAnin.1 ...I , Vi .Via WQ W TriA
news from both Russia and Italy is
bad. However, we must not become
discouraged. We must expect re
verses. When did Uncle Sam ever lay
down in the face of reverses or tem
porary defeat?
How was it with General Washing
ton at Valley Forge? No doubt some
members of that little army, from
long privation and suffering,- looked
upon the enterprise as a forlorn hope.
Not so with their leader. The fires ol
patriotism and the love of libertj
were kept burning in his breast dur
ing the darkest hour of the revolution
and he imparted some of his own con
fidence and, courage to his leaders.
The following season help came from
France, both men and money, and
helped to gain the day. This was the
dawn of the glorious history of the
great American republic and it has
gained a new luster with each auc
ceeding generation.
How was it with President Lincoln
after Fredericksburg and Antletaml
Did he shrink or falter? No, h
grasped the reins with a stronger grip
and encouraged his generals to greatet
efforts. His confidence in a just God
in heaven never for one moment failed
and victory finally crowned his efforts,
and the principle of majority rule,
with a government of, by and for the
people, was re-established throughout
the length and breadth of the land
for all time to, come.
Some faint hearts ,along with the
Industrial Workers of the World ma
howl for peace, but let us remain firm
and steadfast in our confidence in the
governments Washington. They will I
know better than we do, when tne
time cornea, how to propose and proclaim-
a righteous peace, having, in
mind: , " ;
First The dastardly crime commit
ted upon the poor, defensless women
and children of, Belgium.
Second A Monroe doctrine, world
wide, the rights of smaller nationt
guaranteed.
Third Kill the great fiery dragon
(Might makes right.)
