The woman suffrage question will be great
political issue some day. A movement in the
direction of alleged rights by a body of Amer
lean citizens cannot be forever checked even
though its progress may for many years be
very gradual. Now that the advocates of the
extension OF suffrage to woman have become
convinced that the 18th, 18th and 18th amend
mentS are not sufficiently explicit in her favor
to make WOmanS right to vote unqueStiOned,
and that sixteenth amendment is necessary
to effect the practical exercise of the right the
millenial period that they look for is. to all in
tents and purposes. indefinitely postponed: ::
for constitutional amendments are not passed
IN day. But they are so many sound
arguments to be advanced in favor OF woman
suffrage, as well as against it, that it cannot
fail in time to be weighed as Il matter of poll
cy, after it shall have been overwhelmingly
conceded as a matter of right. And it is no
tlceable that the arguments against woman
suffrage are coming more and more to be
based Oh expediency, and hardly attempt to
withstand the claim that, as American citizens.
women are entitled to the right Ii the whole
body OF American women desired the practi-
cal exercise OF this right, it is hard to see
what valid opposition TO their claim could be
made. All this, however does not amend the
constitution. WOman-suffrage must become
matter of policy for a pOlical party before it
can be realized. Congress does not pass rev
0lutionary measures on abstract cOnsidera-
tlons OF right. This question is OF nature to
become living political issue after it shall
have been sufficiently sneered about and
laughed at
