A DiScOuraging Defeat.

For about year past the woman
suffrage organization of the coun-
try has been conducting a still hunt
out in Oregon, in the effort to carry
a suffrage amendment TO the con-
stitution. The fight has attracted
little attention in the East, because
the suffrage leaders, who are very
good politicians, took great pains to
keep their work from too much na-
tional notoriety.
Oregon was peculiarly promising
field for suffrage endeavor. 1t is
young and growing Western State,
and these have always given the suf-
fragists most encouragement. The
publisher of the greatest newspaper
in Oregon is, if not actually and
frankly committed TO the cause, at
least extremely friendly, and his
paper has for many years given it
effective aid. The suffrage people in
the State commanded q remarkable
power Of social and financial pres
tige. In this regard they were prob
ably stronger than they have ever
been in n similar contest for control
of State.
So very confident were the suf-
fragists that they moved their ma
tional publication from Washington
10 Oregon almost a year ago and
have been devoting il to the work
in that State. Their strongest speak
ers and workers were concentrated
in the State. They profted by their
extensive experience in other strug-
giles in other States, and carefully
refrained from being mixed up in
partisan politics.
Yet in the election yesterday the
suffragist amendment was voted
down by large majority 1t was the
only large majority. On everything
else the election was close. Suffrage
alone was Overwhelmingly defeated.
1t is discouraging outcome for
those earnest and devoted peopIe
~ A." AA"'N spent years III lllS work
They have tried for several States
IN the last decade and a half. bur
have been unable to CONQUER anv
new territory. Plainly the people
have not yet been educated TO the
point where they are convinced that
universal suffrage is a great pana-
cea. There is rather more sentiment
nowadays in favor of limiting than
of extending the suffrage. Entirely
aside from the question of giving
the ballot to women, the tendency
10 extend the electorate is a danger
Gus one If the suffrage campaipns
have had any effect toward counter
acting it they have been worth
Whatever they have cost; and in
money, energy and earnes+ purpose
they have certainly cost a great
deal.

Order Out of Confusion.

One of the most important prod
ucts of an exceptionally productive
winter for the District of Columbia
is the appointment of commission
70 edit the local building rcgula-
tions. The need for such action has
often been emphasized in these
columns. II is good news, therefore,
that the commission is organizing
today.
What the situation most requires
is editing, pure and simple. At pres
ent various sections of the regula-
tions are apparently contradictory,
or overlap, or are redundant. Sew
eral sections are obscure beyond all
reason. Even the arrangement is
illogical-as any arrangement must
be when different paragraphs treat
of the same subject.
But there is need for revision also.
Under ordinary circumstances build
ing regulations might be expected
to give satisfaction TO somebody-to
the builders, or the architects, or
the sanitary workers, or the build
ing inspector. But these seem to
please nobody Little by little they
have been amended into such shane
that they safeguard the public
health, and that is all that can be
said in their favor.
The task of writing a code of
building laws-for that is the sum
and substance of this undertaking
is no easy one. If it is not to drag
through two or three years il must
be done Sy committees. The pe--
sOnnel of the commission will lend
itself admirably TO a division of
labors and its first work should be
directed TO that end.

A Warning Note.

The Ohio Republican convention
is TO be taken under the guardian
ship Of the States Congressional
delegation, according TO present
plans. 1t has only two State nomi-
nations Of any significance to make
so the Congressman whose candida
cIes Or reelection constitute the
most important fact of the year in
Buckeyedom viii occupy the stage.
The plan is to have them consti-
tute the committee on resolutions
and in that capacity do the pleasant
acrobatic stunt of indorsing the
Administration, the Ohio Sen,-
tors who have opposed the Admins
tratiOn's policies, and themselves.
To get all that into the same resoIu-
tion and not make it humorous will
be an achievement, but we have con-
fidence in the capacity Of Senator
Foraker, who IL is said will write
the resolutions for his Congress
men, to keep his face straight under
the most trying circumstances.
This proposed hippOdrome will be
one of the most edifying political
spectacles of a year that promises
ample variety of sensations. We
cannot repress wonder as to how il
will please he Ohio voters. the spec
tators in the galleries, to see. their

There was a convention in the lit-

that may point moral in this con-

perpetuate themselves and their

indOrse it. As a result the State

Hamlet IS a dramatic curiosity.

BIG BATTLESHIP
CUT FROM BILL
Senate Fails to Provide
Money for New Naval
Monster.

The naval appropriation bill passed
the Senate yesterday afternoon in less
than three hours It was a record time
for bill OF more than 100 pages. buy
it was lOng enough for the Senate 70
punch an experimental hole IN the
armor OF the DreadnOught proposition.
The Senate isn't so enamored OF tas
idea Of building the most powerful bat
tIeship IN the world Senator Bacon
declared IL was an appalling proposal.
this one that the navy IS 70 be rebuilt
with SO, 600 0G0 battleships. He wondered
how long before a sl5.O0oOoO monster
would be necessary 10 keep pace with
other powers. and whether we could
stand the burden; also whether these
exceedingly big ships were worth the
money.
Senator Hale and senator Lodge. both
naval experts, assured the Senate that
With the present building program COM
pleted the American navy Will be the
second IN the world IN efficiency and
fighting power.
