MOVEMENT IN OTHER LANDS

IITASHINGTON. Feb. Delegations
w representing the Woman Suffrage
association, now in session here,
appeared before committees Of congress
today in advocacy of their plea that
women be allow cd to exercise the right
Of suffrage. IN the senate they appeared
before the committee on woman SUI
frage. The meeting was presided over
by Senator Bacon of Georgia, who
practically turned the control OF the
hearing over to Susan B. Anthony who
made the first address Of the day. She
began by calling attention to the fact
that for thirty-four years. or seventeen
congresses, the ladies have been COM
ing 10 congress with their pleas. but
she said shat only on one occasion had
their proposed amendment to the con-
stitutiOn been awarded the honor of
being taken up by the senate. She
therefore made a plea to be heard by
the senate, expressing the opinion that
the women Of the country are as much
entitled 10 be heard as are the Fill
pinOs. the Porto Ricans and the Ha-
waiians. She also said the 500 women
who had been sent to the Philippines
10 teach were quite as we'll qualified
10 exercise he rights Of citizens as are
the men who go to these islands for
the baser purpose Of making money.
Foreign Sufragists
On the house side the delegation ap-
peared before the judiciary committee.
Mrs. Carrie Gait, president OF the as
sOciatiOn, explained TO the committee
that she desired particularly that the
foreign delegates should describe to the
committee The progress of the woman
suffrage movement in other parts Of
the world. The speakers today We're
Miss Vida GOldstein of Australia; Mrs.
Ewald of Sweden. Mrs. Freedland of
Russia. Mrs. Fenwick Miller Of Eng
land. Isabel Campbell of Wyoming.
Miss TheodOsia Ammons of Colorado.
Mrs. Lapish of Utah, Miss Weaver OF
Idaho. and 'drs. Gait.
Miss GOldstein. one Of the first speak
ers, told of the struggle and success of
the woman suffrage movement in diff
ferent portions of Australia. and eN-
planned the political status Of women
there as well as the great benefits that
had followed the granting of suffra &c
TO woman The predictions Of the adj
verSarieS Of woman suffrage had ut
terIy failed. she declared.
The women Of Australia" she said
do not forget their homes or their ba-
bieS, and they do not raid the rI.blic
Offices She concluded her appeal 10
the committee with this sentence.
Australia trusts her women; surely.
America can trust hers"
Mrs. Freedland explained that in a
country ike Russia there was. of
course. little suffrage, but what there is
is shared equally by men and women.
In country whose political laws were
the least liberal. these laws were the
most liberal to the civil capacities Of
women.

He Has. Never Voted.

Charles Scarber OF Waterloo, Ia,
has passed the; fifty year mark and has
never cast ballot at any election.
Mr.. Scarber says after seeing the
tricks of the politicians he came 10
the conclusion that the political game
was to deep for him and he decided to
leave it alone entirely.
This man would doubtless resent
being called an anarchist He has no
anarchiStic beliefs or tendencies.
But suppose every citizen of the
republic should follow his example?
Eliminate the suffrage and there
is nothing left but anarchy rampant.
In the late analysis in this country,
the politicians go back TO the people
for their power. This power is
delegated at the ballot box.
Break the connection between the
power house and the machinery of
government and you have neither
power nor privilege.
Mr.. Scarber needs to learn that Suf-
frage is more than right, d personal
prerogative. 1t is duty.
The tricks and schemes of politicians
cannot abSolve d citizen from his
duty. The more tricks and schemes
the more need for resources to the
ballot.-KanSas City World.

Whitlaw Reid on Liberty and Respect
For Law.

In his Founders dayaddreSS in Car
negie hall, PittSburg, Whitelaw Reid
said that IL our government was the
best under the sun it was not because
it was the cheapest or the most eff
cient, but because Of the quality of the
men it developed. They were brought
up to nice union Of respect for au-
thority with love of liberty, which con-
Stituted the foundation of our politi-
cal system.
The speaker was not diStreSsingly
peSSimiStic as to the future OF this
union, but 1t is a fair assertion that
one OF the illustrations which he used
as warning might have been employ
ed as proof Of the remarkable per-
siStence Of his ideal. ''ThiS year." he
said. "there could be found no power
in the state of Pennsylvania or in the
United States to stop disorder and
riot in the coal mines, and finally that
imperative work had to be done by
voluntary effort on tSide the cOnStitu-
tional processes or authority of the
high Office that INTERVIEWED.
COmmendatiOn Of the riot and dis
order would be prepoSterous, but, all
things considered, were not the law
less acts astOniShingly few? An army
of 15O, 600 men lay idle While industry
was paralyzed, and opportunities oc-
Cured every day for wild appeals to
passion. A comprehensive view of
the situation would seem to indicate
that the self restraint exercised was
upon the whole remarkable, and we
see no reason to lament that the Pres
ident found no occasion to exercise
national authority to preserve the
peace in Pennsylvania. If it had been
easy for him to act in this particular
instance there would be- the danger
that the high office might be used to
destroy liberty, which is as necessary
to Mr.. Reid's scheme as respect for
law. Safety lies not in the increase
OF executive power or its arbitrary ex-
erciSe, but IN the free play of public
sentiment, and as We look back the
manner of the intervention is not to
be regretted. 1t was not only far
preferable to a dictatorship, but is
richly justified by the results
