WHETHER TO APPROVE OR CONDEMN—this is what is 
worrying the women, and perhaps the men, of this staid 
nation in regard to the tour of Mrs. Pankhurst in aid 
ot woman suffrage. Her arrival in the United States 
was something which had to receive the attention of 
President Wilson before it was assured, but the valiant 
warrior in support of “votes tor women” is now in pos- 
session of her full liberty—at least, as far as this coun- 
try us concerned. How to receive Mrs. Pankhurst has 
been another problem of the American nation. She is 
certainly worthy of any person’s respectful attention, de- 
spite the rather questionable methods which have been 
followed in England. A woman who has sacrificed her 
personal fortune and everything near and dear to fight 
tor a cause which thousands ot women everywhere are 
esposing is not to be scoffed at or ridiculed. Whatever 
her actions across the water, she is a woman of courage 
and incidentally generally accomplishes what she sets out 
to do. ‘he American nation should be optimistic regard- 
ing Mrs. Pankhurst’s visit to this country—who knows 
but it may show her that there are other ways ‘to win 
men to the cause of suffrage for women than to burn, 
pillage and destroy. If she can carry back this impres- 
sion to her followers, Mrs. Pankhurst’s visit will not 
have been in vain, 
THE ENTRANCE OF Mr. Foss into the gubernational 
fight, was not surprising, for no one can be surprised at 
anything that our “Good Governor” does. But the party 
label which the governor misses now, will cost many 
votes. Foss will injure Bird and Walsh more than hie 
will Gardner. Naturally the Walsh supporters are enthu- 
siastic over the “flighty” campaign of the Bird flying 
squadron for it will rob Gardner of a large numbe 
of votes. It may now be conceded that Bird cannot be 
elected. It must also be conceded that Foss has a poorer 
chance of election than he ever had. Walsh cannot as 
candidate for governor, opposed as he is, poll as large 
a vote as he did as candidate for lieutenant governor. 
But despite the four-legged fight, Gardner has been gain- 
ing ground where it was thought he would lose. He has 
proven himself an able campaigner and a good vote-get- 
ter. It looks bright for the Essex County candidate and 
every day increases his chances. 
How Axout Suuzer for the local Bull Moose char- 
iot ? Ought to be a good addition to the flying squadron.

Axsout A YEAR Aco when William Sulzer was elected 
Governor of New York his reputation was unsullied and 
great things were expected of him. Although he now 
stands politically disgraced, he will apparently not lie 
down and confess himself defeated. ‘The house of Tam- 
many, to which he attributes his trial and subsequent 
conviction, he is “to go after” in no unmistakeabie man- 
ner by entering the legislature sponsored by the Progres- 
sives of New York, mostly those of the East Side. 
though the Progressive party seems to be the scrap heap 
ot politicians discarded by other parties they frequently 
obtain on this way an able man. Sulzer is one of them— 
and, we believe, as honest as the general run of politi- 
cians who are gracing chairs of honor in this country 
today. Everyone is acquainted with the practice of Tam- 
many in New York and Sulzer’s experience is a good 
instance of what a man may expect who dares oppose 
this faction. Sulzer scorned the admontions of Tam- 
many, in a way, he lost, but in the eyes of the people of 
New York he won a distinct victory over the Democratic 
octopus. Sulzer will in all truth be a thorn in the side 
of the New York Democracy in the event of his election 
to the Gotham Legislature, and it seems certain now that 
the Progressives of the East Side wall be able to send 
him there. Perhaps Sulzer will not even be free from 
the persecutions of Tammany there—time will show 
whether the full force of its power in his direction has 
been expended. 
THE WeatHER MAN, who for the past three weeks 
has been subject to all sorts of uncomplimentary re- 
marks, is now being handed verbal bouquets for the fine 
stretch of weather which we are enjoying at present. 
just when the business man, the student and practically 
everyone meeded an added impetus in the form of good 
weather to start his winter's work, Jupiter Pluvius saw 
fit to fill the pages of his diary with three weeks of rain, 
fog and general unpleasantness. Now the vigorous, 
bracing autumn days make for greater effort for every- 
one; the mind that has been sluggish after perhaps a 
busy summer, is beginning to emerge from the fog and 
to take on a renewed vigor because of the refreshing 
tonic afforded by pleasant weather. Such a period of 
depressing weather experienced recently 1s not without 
its advantages, for it draws such a comparison that the 
weather of the present day is doubly accentuated and en- 
joyed. 
Foorsart, CoACHES are not the only ones to hold 
secret conferences these days—the “pols” and the rail- 
roads have their share of the closed-door meetings.
