CURE FOR BRITISH MILITANCY
The Woman's Homestead Association has an idea.
This association seems to be a body df altruists who have
banded together for the purposo of populating Western
Canada and, by the same token, of saving Mcrrie Eng
land—that is of sparing Merrie England soma of its strife
and tragedy and perhaps, thereby, saving some of its
merriness, at least.
The idea of this association is that a woman who has
a husband to manage will keep her mind too thoroughly
occupied to bother about her political rights. In other
words, this association believes that the rage of the Eng
lish militants is due to the fact of the surplusage of wo
men over men in England.
The detached woman is a serious problem. It is like
too much released energy and she just naturally attacks
something. In England there are tremendous numbers of
husbandless and childless women, who have nothing to di
vert them from such interesting little larks as burning
houses and knocking down defenseless men. The Home
stead Association is persuaded that all that is necessary
Is to give these women plenty to do in the way of taking
care of husbands and households and they have just sent
an appeal to King George to do his utmost to deport
the unmarried women among his subjects to Western
Canada, where there are settlers who are ready to wed
them and take their chances on lives of domestic adven
tures.
Resolutions adopted by the association express the
belief that if such a movement were carried out seriously
the militant women of England would cease their warfare
on Parliament.
Iq it husbands and not votes these turbulent women
of England are fighting for? Certainly, this solution of
the times makes a strong appeal to the natural egotism
of man. One thing is pretty certain at any rate and that
is that a woman with an unmanageable husband gets very
little time to concern herself with social and political di
versions.
But for the life of us, we cannot help turning our
sympathetic fancy in the direction of those Canadian Set
tlers, who are standing ready to rescue England by re
ceiving the unmarried Militants as their better halves.
The risk is all for them. It takes a good deal of patrio
tism to march into matrimony with tho same sacrificial
spirit that a soldier gives up his life in battle, and while
it requires greater heroism, it is acclaimed with no such
furore of glory and administration.
Nevertheless, there are those who know, and those
who will jive settlers of Westen Canada their fullest re
cognition and highest tribute if this proposed movement
is ever carried out.
Yet, we fear the world will never get the benefit of
this heroism and history's pages will never make their
record of these noble candidates for martyrdom for who
is there to make the militants of England to realize that
they want husbands in Canada more than they do votes
in England ?

El Paso, Texas.—lnvestigation Into
the execution by General Villa of Wm.
H. Kenton, the Krltlsh subject and Into
the dlaupirearnnce of Gustav Rauch,
the German-American, was begun at
Juarez today by the Mexican cormnla
slon appointed by General Carranza,
chief of the constitutionalists. The
commission will endeavor to ascertain
whether the arrest and conviction of
Kenton was made according to due
for uof law and Justice. It Is not ex
pected that an examination will be
made of Kenton's body.
Guatax Bauch.
An attempt will be made by the
Mexican commissioners to learn
whether Bauch was executed or 1s still
alive.
The Anglo-American commission
still was awaiting Instructions from
Washington.
General Carranza and members of
his cabinet were expected to leave
Nogales for Juarez today.
Realize Position.
Nogales. Sonora, Mexico. —Appoint-
ment of a Mexican commission to In
vestigate the Kenton case resulted. It
was made known today, from some dif
ference of opinion among Gen. Car
ranza's advisers. While It was as
serted those surrounding the constitu
tionalist cnmmander-ln-chlef realized
his delicate position as a result of the
Briton’s death, they had argued that
his act In refusing Information to the
Washington government had created a
false Impression In the United States
and England In regard to his Implied
meaning.
Is First Step.
From those In close touch with Car
ranza It was learned that the appoint
ment of the Benton commission was
but the first step in a series of acts
calculated to do away with what was
considered a misunderstanding. The
hope was expressed that the work of
the commission would convince the
world of the good Intentions of Gen.
Carranza toward the welfare of all
Individual foreigners in Mexico.
It was explained that the appoint
ment of a Mexican commission instead
of the operations of one composed of
foreigners at this time In Mexico would
eliminate danger of a condition which
would be undesirable to all aides. The
gravity of the altuatlon was not de
nied here although hope was expressed
that developments soon would allay
any danger of a breach of Internation
al good feeling.

youthful leader of the army, faces a
charge of Inciting to riot, which is a
felony. His ball was fixed at 16,000.
Tho arrest of Tannenbaum and th»
greater part of his army, organised
under the auspices of the Industrial

In West Broadway, where Father John
O. Schnslder refused the demand for
food and ordered the invaders to leave
If they had not come to worship.

Dougins I. McKay, police commis

he would brook no repetition of riot

After the army had been led away

wer« found In the vacated pews of the
church.
William D. Haywood, head of the
Industrial Workers of the World, said
after the arrest of Tannenbaum and
his followers, that he was not sur

ho said, "and that was to be expected.
The result will be that the public will

before the surprised galleries realized
he had begun. It took less than five
minutes and as another burst as ap
plause greeted Its close, Mr. Wilson
hurried out of the chamber and went
back to the White House. The Joint
session dissolved at once and the two
houses resumed their work.
As soon as the President left Speak
er Clark ordered the message referred
to the house committee on inter-stata
and foreign commerce.
Chairman Adamson who will have
charge of the repeal legislation, de
clared after hearing the message that
It fitted his Ideas exactly.
Honesty and Justice.
“The President's address pleases
me.’ he said, because it means hon
esty at home and Justice abroad. It
is not true that we are surrendering to
Great Britain if we repeal the. free tolls
clause. I and other Democrats took
a position against this piece of rascal
ity before England ever heard of It."
Majority leader Underwood declined
to discuss the message.
THE MESSAGE
President Wilson's address, the
shortest he has yet delivered to con
gress—exactly 420 words —was as fol
lows:
"Gentlemen of the Congress:
"I have come to you upon an errand
which can be very briefly performed,
but I beg that you will not measure
Its importance by the number of sent
ences In which I state It. No com
munication I have addressed to the
congress carried with It graver or
more far-reaching implications to the
interest of the country, and I come
now to speak upon a matter with re
gard to which I am charged in a pe
culiar degree, by the constitution it
self with personal responsibility.
ASKS FOR REPEAL
“I have come to ask fog, the repeal
of that provision of the Panama Canal
act of August 24th, 1912. which ex
empts vessels engaged In the coast
wise trade of the United States from
payment of tolls, and to urge upon
you the Justice, the wisdom and the
large policy of such a repeal with
the utmost earnestness of which I
am capable.
“in my own Julgment, very fully
considered and maturely formed, that
exemption constituted a mistaken
economic policy fmm every point of
view, and Is, moreover, in plain con
travention of the treaty with Great
Ilrltaln concerning the canal, con
cluded on November 18th, 1901. Hut
I have not come to you to urge my
personal views. I have come to state
to you a fact and a situation. What
ever may he our own differences of
opinion concerning this much debated
measure, its meaning is not debated
outside the United States. Every
where else the language of the treaty
Is given but one Interpretation, anl
that Interpretation precludes the ex
emption I am asking you to repeal.
WE CONSENTED
We consented to the treaty; Its
language we accepted. If we did not
originate; and we are too big, too
powerful, too self-respecting a nation
to interpret with too strained or re
fined a reading of the words of our own
promises just because we have power
enough to give us leave to read them
as we please. The large thing to do
Is the only thing we can afford to do,
a voluntary with Irawal from a posi
tion everywhere questioned and mis
understood We ought to reverse our
action without raising the question
whether we were right or wrong and
so once more deserve our reputation
for generosity and the redemption of
every obligation without quibble or
hesitation.
OUR FOREIGN POLICY
"I ask tills of you in support of the
foreign policy of the administration.
I shall not know how to deal with
other matters of even greater delicacy
and nearer consequence If you do not
grant it to me In ungrudging meas
ure."
The Panama tolls question has been
a subject of llspute for nearly two
years. Diplomatic correspondence
between Great Britain and the United
States found the question unsettled
when President Taft left office. Ex
oeit Tor an assurance to James Bryce,
then British ambassador, when be
left the I'nited States a year ago
that the question would be taken up
in the regular session of congress.

OBLIGATION OF GOVT
The president recently told callers
he had never discussed the matter
formally or informally with the Brit
ish ambassador here, Sir Cecil Spring-
Rice, because he believed the obli
gation on the part of the United
States to repeal the exemption clause
was one which this government itself
should realize without outside in
fluence or pressure.
Administration leaders In both
house and senate have assured the
president, that with the delivery of a
message by him showing that inter
national circumstances had arisen
since the measure last was debated,
the president's suggestion for repeal
would meet with prompt action
