y WAR AND CHIVALRY
War quickens the instinct of chiv
alry that is in most men in varying
degrees of dormancy. Generosity is
one of the truest attributes of cour
age. Men who go to the firing line
are made by the danger they expose
themselves to more susceptible to
this influence, but even those who re
main at home ought not to be alto
gether impervious. A nation in the
mass ought to act more chivalrously
when it is at war than when it is
lot. The opportunity to practice chiv
alry will not be wanting for those
of us who stay at home. There is one
way in which all of us can practice
it. This is by showing something more
than the wonted courtesy to all Ger
mans with whom we come in con
tact. Kit her they are citizens or guests
of the country. If citizens, they de
serve to be. exempt from suspicion so
long as they refrain from doing any
thing to awaken it: and if guests.
*hey are entitled to it by the laws of
hospitality so long as they do not
abuse hospitality. To make deroga
tory remarks about Germans or other
wise act offensively toward them is
not) an exhibition of patriotism, it is
an exhibition of hoodlumism. which
injures the cause it is meant to help.
The man who stoops to this method
of showing his patriotism is very apt
to be one of the class which would
be first caught by the conscription
law: that is, they are men whose pat
riotism is not of the quality that urges
them to enlist.—Christian Science

ROOSEVELT’S PEACE TERMS
Former President Theodore Roose
velt has outlined what he considers
should be the peace terms of the Uni
ted States with Germany. How far
the peace makers will go when the
war is over to carry out the former
president’s ideas is of course, a mat
jter of conjecture, but nevertheless
' the views of so distinguished a man
l as Colonel Roosevelt are of profound
'interest. Under the heading “Put the
I Flag on the Firing Line,” Colonel
| Roosevelt in the June Metropolitan
'Magazine, says:
J "The Prussianized Germany of the
1 Hohenzollerns has shown itself even
: more the enemy of freedom and hu
jmanity and justice anc international
right than was Napoleon's France.
Let us strive for the peace of justice
and of international right. Did they
but know it, the German people them
selves would benefit by our victory;
I and especially the people of South
[Germany and of Austria, who would
i be free from the tyranny of Prussia,
| and would be guaranteed in all their
; rights—surely more than an offset
for not being allowed wrong others.
Belgium and France must have all
that is taken from them restored.
“The Turk must leave Europe—a
democratic Russia at Constantinople
will threaten no one. Armenia should
be freed from autonomous. Austria
is not a country, but a knot of na
■ tionalities, of which two tyrannize
over the others. Let the Hungarians
keep Makyar Hungary, and the Aus
trians, German Austria. Let the Ital
ians have the Trentino and Trieste.
Let there be a great Servia, a great
Bohemia, a great Rumania. Poland
i should once more be a nation, which
[should include all the Polish lands,
land have an outlet on the Baltic thru
j old Polish Phussia; old West Prussia.
East Prussia, which is German, would
be unavoidably separated from tin
other German lands; but it could be
kept united with them politically:
and also commercially by arrange
ments for through railway traffic such
as we have with Canada as regards
jour international railroads.
"The Germans would keep Ger
' many, would lose nothing except the
right to oppress others, would suffer
no injustice. Ireland should have
| Home Rule. Seek justice for every
one; The Dane of North Schleswig;
'the Finn, the Uniate, the Caucasian
in Russia. Endeavor to secure a guar
antee of real religious freedom and
fair play, for Catholic. Protestant,
Orthodox and Jew alike."
In his magazine article the colonel
i describes his proposed expeditionary
! force to France and points out the
[important duties of the "private citi
| zen" with America at war.
WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN ENGLAND
Lloyd-George, tlfe premier of Brit
ain, has come out in favor of wo
man suffrage. Even though we rec
ognize that the premier is a shatterer
of idols and wrecker of tradition, his
attitude as the most formidable pow
er in the British empire, is of more
than common interest. It means that

bidding and that the women ot the!
kingdom will get "the vote.”
Just how much influence the ac
tivities of the suffragettes, who were
a real factor before the war. have
contributed in bebalf of equal suf
frage. it is difficult to say. It is cer
tain that the militants kept the issue
fully before the public. On the other
hand they were so unfair, so unwo
manly. that their energies undoubt-;
edly had a boomerang effect in a
large measure. After all, it will be
hard for them to convince England
that the premier’s position is dictated
by their acts of coercion and lawless
ness.
The great factor is to be found in
conditions arising out of the war. The
struggle is spreading the leaven of
democracy—as witness the Russian
revolution. The lfcders are forced
to recognize that it is the people who,
are fighting the battles, and in En
gland the women are doing their
“bit" in a way that has raised the'
sex in the estimation or the country.
Former Premier Asquith, who was
baited constantly by the militant suf-1
fragettes, is the man who made the;
motion for electoral reforms, includ-j
tng that recognizing the value of the
modern English woman to the state.
Universal suffrage is certain to be
come a fact throughout the civilized i
world—probably sooner than we
think. The issue had a conspicuous
place in our national campaign last
fall and will come up again with prac
tical certainty of success. The battle
of equal suffrage, like the war against
liquor, is not confined to any one,
[country; it is becoming world-wide. [

i Traction. Light and Power company,
i that company lias been authorized by
I the state public service commission
| to purchase one-man street cars to
[operate in the City of Seattle, and also
reconstruct certain of their pres
ent cars into one-man affairs.
1 The application stated the com
pany desired to “purchase such num
ber of one-man cars as may he deem
ed necessary, and to operate them in
the City of Seattle.” and also that It
be allowed to reconstruct such num
ber of its single truck cars as ot may
deem advisable. The order of the
commission allowing the petition of
the traction company says in part:
“It i& ordered that the prayer of the
petition be granted; the type of car
so authorized to be purchased and
operated !o be of the general type of
car No. 142 in operation on the Sum
mit avenue line, and heretofore in
spected and approved by the commis
sion.”
Before making its application the
Seattle Traction company awaited the
action of the commission on the peti
tion of the Washington Water Power
company of Spokane for permission to
put in and operate a similar type of
car.The commission after a hearing
authorized the Spokane Traction com
pany to put in the simplified car on
certain lines, the proviso being in
serted that the routes had to be ap
proved by the commission before the
cars could.be put in operation.
