AN EXPENSIVE
EXPERIMENT •
The Leaden -04 League has been
withelvsuwar from eirettlattlea Goetze
C. MleCuillagh makes the amtlioutree-
memit and we accept that as Wheal.
It Downie to terve been an expensive
experieuice 'fol Mr. MbCu11e 'Ii in aa.

aril 'other week amounted to $75,000
Which was paid) by the Globe .and
Mai1'anil hieneelf.

of bringing the executive Otiose in-
to existence anti having speakers

$30,000, ani Mr, MoOullagh atter

impression. that Mn', MoOu1I0gh was
wellito-db and Huey were content to
allow ham to provide the -sinews of
war to keep a semi lance of life and
blgor to the new-ibonn &lad.
Mr. aleOullagh: expiates one thing
which never tea beau very . clear
He has noticed a tteadenuoy to enter
the politiclal field. with Leadership
League candidates ante he says he
never at any Hine .intended such
action be taken. One can readily
see the wisdom of closing off the
executive orcoete and mere or less
disbanding under the circumstanc-
es. 8n the Am place ft was cost-
ing too nett money, and the sec-
ond, considers,tiom would be even
more serious. Just this. If candi-
dates were placed In nomination in
a member of nldinge under the aus-
pices of a League which the Globe
and Mail had. sponsored. It would be
natural Sir suer oand.idates to an-
ticipate that the paper would come
to their support daring the ela-
tion campaign, and we doubt
whether tate Toronto paper would
case to follow the fortunes of its
Leedesildp child into the thick of a
paietical fight. So right now look-
ed like the proper time to take the
sign! out of the *endow and 'turn
the key in the door,
'llhe weakness) of the Leadership
League has been that it lacked a
chart; it was like dhiving 10 strange
country without navdng secured a
goad map. !Speakers under• its aus-
pices who came into this and other
dnsttuote told their audiences that
toast things enrich :the /alert's of our
land had done were wrong, .but
they failed rather dismally to chow
just what should be done to put
them right.
If the Leaigue int its ratter •ab-
breviated existence has taught
people to become more vitally 3m-
terestecl in public affairs then it has
accomplished sometlhIng of merit,
hut that of course leaves unanswer-
ed the dill question of how and
where to apply this awakened •in-

THE POOR LADY
We had •taken it for granted that
women had sorra r'b1ed -over evere
lanown, obstacle in ;their effo1Us to
be recognized as the equal to item.
Tilley vote and they go to parilia-
memt they elrter the senate and
they hold jobs; in some denomdna-
•tdons they preacih and those of
other ambitions make political
speeches as occasion demands,
But Miss M, E. Foster who enter-
ed the contests as Sisley camp in
&whale, le en, exception. Now this
Minimise at Bisley .is! shooting with
a rifle, and those who go there are
about 'the best in Uhe whole British
Empire, and• Miers! Foster tapped
ahem &1a in the contest for Uhe
King's M'et11a.1, But site can't bave
the medal.
Mese Foster canines she has a
right to the decoration. because she
is Ian assistant company leader in
the women's tramtgport section ori
the a.uxibiaiy territorial service,"
and admittedly that is a ratther
complicated sonit of designation.
The answer came back front the
count of last resort that "the 2ux31-
fary territordal service is net recog-
nized as ,part of the territorial
arhp." So there you are.
So the anedal goes to a mere man
from the territorial army who Was
actually in 18th, place. Whether
Miss Foster will smile when, she
sees him wearing the decoration is
something we db not know. But
here was a woman Who could take
a rifle with real bullets in the
thing, who knew how to sprawl at
the rattlgee and' out figures, in the
celttre of the far+off target, and yet
site cannot Ihave :the medal to
which thee score entitled her. It's
time the women's! organisations
passed a resolution or something.

know each one waled soon admit,
that trade Dan was kind.
¶ 1te some one get; in trouble

theta thole Dan would simply smile,
and then he'd wait a little while,
and start to have has say,
¶ He never joined in with the

l.,nnole Dan worked quiet and well.
