The SuffragetteS.

Encouraged by the success of their
sisters in England, the suffragists
of New York are announcing plans
for n revival of the struggle to get
the ballot for women. The suffrag-
lists on this side have never at
tempted the militant methods which
have lately proved 50 effective in
attracting attention in England, and
they indicate that they Will abstain
from such.
If woman suffrage comes to this,
the most conservative democracy on
earth, it will come, as most other
social and political reforms do, by
way of the other branches of the
English-speaking race. If England
adopts and likes it, and if Austral-
asia continues to thrive under it. the
United States will doubtless get to
it in time. Bat it viii come TO this
country only after it shall have been
well tested elsewhere. The people
who are doing most for the suffrage
cause in the United States right now
are those who are forcing it on the
attention of the English commons.

concurrence of the States. Presum-
ably all this could be done in Eng
land with no trouble.
Either Mr.. Brooks is wrong or our
English friends despair of the Con-
stitutiOn too soon. Even if we of
America could not get any of the
legislation suggested in the Presi-
dents message, we could struggle
along. The States have not failed.
whether the National Government
has or not.
Some of the problems indicated
could better be solved by the Fed
eral authorities, however, and there
is likely 10 be trouble in arranging
how 1t may be given the power un-
der the Constitution. just there
lies our present difficulty. Yet we
do not lose heart over it. Neither
do we lose faith in the Constitution
because of it. We Just sit down and
try TO think way out in sure con
dence that before the brambles shut
us in We shall have found the path.
In other words, we shall do what
the English are trying to do with
their educational bill. Exactly that
and nothing more.

Help From a Powerful Source.

Those who oppose the Beveridge
chiid-labOr bill out Of affection for
State rights will find some mighty
iEterestin' readin' in the issue of
the Commoner, dated February Is,
1907. Mr.. Bryan's leading editorial
begins with the significant words:
''The discussion of the Beveridge
child-labor bill has shown how cas-
lily a sound constitutional principle
car be stretched TO cover a national
crime" 1t ends with these words,
equally significant: The children
must be saved, and the Beveridge
bin offers a safe and effective rem
edy for the cruel and barbarous
system of child slavery which has
grown up all in this country"
Little is said of child labor as an
evil. That is taken for granted.
The greater attention is given TO
what the Commoner believes to be
the undeniable right of Congress to
correct the evil under the COnstitu-
tion. Thus, after noting that the
Beveridge bill recognizes the right
of the whole people, acting through
Congress, to fix the terms upon
which such products can enter inter-
state commerce, the editorial goes
on TO say:
Is this not a dangerous power? it is
asked. Certainly. but all power is dan
EerOuS when misuSed. But take
the other side of the proposition. Has
Congress no power over interstate COM
merce? Is Congress pOwerless 10 pre-
vent the shipment Of priSOn-made goods
outside of the State in which they are
made2 Must the free labor OF one State
meet competition from the prison
labor of another State? Suppose a State
refuses to enact any laws for the pro-
lection OF its children, are the other
States pOwerless to protect themselves
The Democratic platform OF 1900
suggested the exercise Of this very power
for the annhilatiOn of the trusts. II the
power can be exercised to protect inde-
pendent industries from the conSpiracies
of the trust magnateS can il not be
used to protect the children from being
dwarfed and stunted by early toll?
Accepting Mr.. Bryan's conclusions
in this instance, The Times does not
occupy itself now with the logic of
his argument. Its special interest
IN this statement depends upon its
effect on the Beveridge bill.
Beyond all question, Mr.. Bryan
speaks today with more authority
for the rank and file of his party
than any other member of it.
Equally beyond question, the rank
and file of his party is eager to see
this abuse corrected. If the Peer
less Leader does not find the Beve-
ridge bill antagonistic to Demo
cratic doctrine there is no reason
able likelihood that they viii sus-
tain any other who does so. In
which event Senators on the west
