The National Capital BY J. E. JONES The Women Who Won Suffrage In the early days of the Woodrow Wilson administration, visiting delegations of women demanding the right to vote, were given scant consideration at the White House. Even Mr. Bryan, then in high favor as premier Cabinet officer, expressed little interest, and on one occasion said that "the country is not ready to take up this issue." The persistent women who finally "got in" to see President Wilson were told that "their issue was a matter for the States." Finally the national organization split in two factions, and among the group of "conservatives" who continued to remain patient with the dilatory politicians in administrative circles and in Congress, were the followers of Anna Howard Shaw and her successor, Mrs. Catt. The "militant" group organized independently and under the leadership of Miss Alice Paul, took up the challenge of President Wilson to "concert public ophion," by picketing the White House one hour later. These women were dragged through the streets of Washington, thrown into prison, went on hunger strikes, and were called all the vile names in the lexicon of unkind words for flaunting their banners in the Capitol and other public places. But through it all they remained—fatly sweet. But when the day of success and triumph came, the "militants" were recognized as the head of the suffrage movement, and little has been heard of the "conservatives." Alice Paul—who a year or two ago was called "a little slip of a woman," "an agitator," and things lots worse, was recognized by the powers that appointed the Inaugural Committees and similar important bodies. She seems, very suddenly, to have become like "the stone which the builders refused, the headstone of the corner." The other day a suffrage memorial to the three pioneers of the women's movement in the United States—Susan B. Anthony, Lucretia Mott, and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, was unveiled in the rotunda of the Capitol of the United States. It was one of the most impressive ceremonies in the history of the entire women's movement, and it marked what is perhaps the final acceptance of the success of women's suffrage by the highest officials of the Nation. Alice Paul and her followers, now swelled in numbers by reason of their successes, were the undisputed heads of suffrage representation in that great ceremony. Washington, which hooted the "militants" now goes to tea and dinner at their headquarters, and admits that the meals are "fine." Suffragists who held aloft in the old days, have concluded that Miss Paul's group should be "cultivated," and they seek to be included in the affairs of the National Women's Party. On the other hand the magnificent headquarters of the "conservatives" presided over by Mrs. Catt and her friends, has been closed, and the women have left the Capitol. Even the men in Congress who made long-winded speeches about these women "hurting suffrage" are now Now is your time to think about your new Now is your time to think about your new Spring Suits Don't wait until the last minute before you prepare your wardrobe for Easter and the Spring Days.

THE ORANGE COUNTY PLAIN DEALER, ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA Halting European Credits The United States Treasury apparently acquired the habit of lending money to European nations during the war, and the Europeans evidently have grown to believe there is a never-failing supply of American cash to be had for the asking. The Senate has told the Secretary of the Treasury that it disapproves of his purpose to add additional billions to the nine billion that has already been supplied to Europe. The same inquisitive Senate has been asking embarrassing questions that have brought out the fact that the Europeans are not paying either interest or principal on their loans. And at least one Government has suggested to the United States that all the indebtedness be cancelled—in other words, donated to them. The facts brought out also discloses that the Kerensky regime in Russia was loaned $646,000,000. Ever since Russia "popped," the Russian Emassy has been kept up, ar' their "Minister" has been supplied with lots of money, doubtless sent in from the United States Treasury. Those who accuse the United States with deserting its ideals for which it went into the war are still willing to admit that we continue to be over-generous with our dollars, particularly in view of the upset industrial and economic conditions at home. It is suggested that our financial policy with these foreign countries does more credit to the heart than the head of Secretary Houston and those who agree with his policy. Seeking to Extend Rural Credit Congress has given a lot of attention to means of extending credits to farmers, and one of the methods that it will be sought to pass next session is embodied in similar bills introduced by Representative MePadden in the House and Senator Uncle Sam Voices Optimism The Federal Reserve Board in a statement just issued says that "better conditions in business have been manifesting themselves during the past month. They have been most obvious in the field of banking and finance. They have, however, also been of decided significance in industrial lines." The statement observes that while the process of adjustment is not complete, "it has proceeded far enough in a number of branches of business to prepare the way for new constructive work." Another significant paragraph in the resume of affairs says that retailers throughout the country "have undertaken to transfer to their customers some part at least of the benefit arising from reductions in cost at the point of production." Impeaching Landis A lot of good copy has been furnished the newspapers by reason of the impeachment proceedings initiated against Federal Judge Kenesaw M. Landis, of Chicago. Landis first came into prominence by his $29,-000,000 fine against the Standard Oil company many years ago. Since then he has remained in the limelight. It was his sentence of Victor Berger, the Milwaukee Socialist and rejected Congressman, that was set aside by the Supreme Court one month ago. Some people believe that Landis is errate—anyway he seems the storm-center of sensational happenings such as other Judges avoid. His present principal offense is apparently based upon superficial affairs, and there is not much likelihood that the impeachment proceedings will ever get very far in Washington. Party Postmasters Republican politicians in Congress are looking for "wars and feature exhibits for sixteen years. Unique displays of Santa Ana made goods, a spring fashion revue, a pure food exhibit, baby show and a great pageant are only a few of the features embraced in the program. The entertainment features will be changed every day and are varied in scope, including choruses from Los Angeles film studios, music, singing and other divertissements. A great collection of prizes has been planned under various conditions. The exposition will be housed under a gigantic tent at Third and Birch, and will easily accommodate several thousand at a time. The tent is to be arranged so that all may see in comfort what is going on. Shoes Spring There's something our new Footwear enhanced by neatness the most obvious Spring Oxfords are now showing. MEN AND AS ONE OF DRESS WILL FOR THEIR Seeking to Extend Rural Credit Congress has given a lot of attention to means of extending credits to farmers, and one of the methods that it will be sought to pass next season is embodied in similar bills introduced by Representative McFadden in the House and Senator Kenyon in the Senate. These bills provide for the creation of two corporations by special Federal charters namely, a rural credit society and a general insurance league. The credit society would consist of one central bank with $25,000,000 capital to be furnished by the Government without interest, and to be returned from the sinking fund created by the bill. There would be forty-eight branches, one for each State, with $50,000 capital each, to be furnished by the insurance company accepting such Federal league charter. This stock would pay 6 per cent cumulative dividend and become a guaranty against the loss of the capital furnished by the Government. Farmers may organize any number of community associations, or "communes," with not less than seven members each. The "commune" stock will be in shares of $5 each and owned by farmer members only. The members' interests will be represented by this "commune" stock instead of deposits and thus avoid the expensive machinery of deposit banking and broaden the market for productive farm credit paper. Provision is made for commissioners to negotiate with one of the six largest life insurance companies to induce one of them to accept the Federal charter and invest $7,200,- GREATER SANTA ANA EXPOSITION PLANNED Plans have been completed for a Greater Santa Ana exposition April 9 to 16 by the merchant booster of Santa Ana. The project has been finally approved by the M. & M. Assn. In diversity of interest, displays and demonstrations of merchandise, educational features and quality is planned to be on a par with events of similar nature held in the larger cities. The affair will be under the direction of the Pacific Coast Exposition company of Los Angeles and personally supervised by H.

MAPS NEARLY ENTIRE COUNTY FOR OIL CO. The big oil companies believe in preparedness. This is indicated in the fact that R. M. Thomas, a Union Oil company engineer, with headquarters in Los Angeles, is staying in Orange-co for a week, preparing maps of practically every section of Orange-co not yet under lease for drilling. The work being done in Orange county is in line with similar activities being carried out in Santa Barbara and other counties in the Southland. Thomas' work here means simply that when the time comes that oil leasing activities begin in sections heretofore neglected the Union company will have at its finger tips correct legal descriptive maps of every parcel of land concerned. The territory Thomas is mapping, includes virtually the entire section northwest of Santa Ana north to the southern limits of Fullerton and west to the ocean and practically the entire area east of Santa Ana north to the Fullerton city limits and south to San Juan Capistrano. Henry C. Wallace, who has been appointed secretary of agriculture in President-elect Harding's cabinet, is a cousin of Attorney A.J.W.
