Mrs. Pankhurst's American Trip.

Mrs. Pankhurst at home again, speaks
pleasantly OF her American trip, but with
a shade of patronage about the American
situation as respects woman suffrage. 1t
is not as she would have it. 1t is not as
it should be when all things are con-
sidered.
American women are bright and capa-
BILE. and in all social matters exert a
marked influence. They are good organ
izers, and many of them good speakers.
These are gifts that go with the suffrage
cause. and Mrs. Pankhurst wonders that
they have not been employed with larger
results.
They may be in time Mrs. Pankhurst
hopes so. When the suffrage problem is
better understood, and American women
come to appreciate the full possibilities of
the ballot. they will labor more earnestly
to secure 1t. Nothing is said about a
second visit. 1t may be that Mrs. Pank-
hurst. with this nudge. is going to leave
her American sisters to their own de-
vices, and observe the battle from across
the sea.
The battle opens with spirit, and there
is phase of it which promises at least
entertainment. This is the activity of
women who oppose suffrage for their sex.
They are by no means few in number,
and some of them are of high attain
ments and influential station. They write
with vigor, and are very much in earnest.
Shall we see the question in the end
left to women to decide? Will men In
effect agree to accept a careful poll of the
women of the country as to their course ?
All in favor of suffrage say aye. all op-
posed. no. This would cause what women
themselves might describe as lovely
scrimmage. 1t would certainly develop
their canvassing qualities to the full.
They are excellent canvassers. although
their experience has been largely with the
opposite sex. But, put on their mettle,
SO to speak, in matter of such great
concern to themselves, they would prob
ably break the record as respects stir
ring up sentiment and getting out the
vote.
And this arrangement would take at
their word those politicians who in a nom
committal way have been saying that
women will get the ballot when they want
II. If the majority want the ballot, and
should formally say SO, these politicians.
supposedly opposed to woman suffrage,
would be obliged to acquiesce. II the
majority should formally declare against
the ballot, then, for a time at least. the
case would be closed. Majority rule holds
In our political affairs.
What effect the triumph Of woman suf-
frage would have on the temperance
question is a most interesting problem.
In the south the women have favored
prohibition, and. even without the ballot.
have done much for that cause.

Vocational Training.

The latest movement in education is
toward vocational training. One desir-
able step In this direction is the guiding
Of the boy toward the vocation to which
he is best adapted and in which he Is

and success Something of this sort Is

foot among educators to establish vo-
cational bureau in every school center

teachers and personal study or the pupils.
to aid him in a choice Of his lifes occu-
patton.
Having gone this far the next step. is
for the boy to secure his training in his
chosen calling, a thing likely to be by
no means easy Of accomplishment IL the
work decided on is one of the trades or
manual arts. 1t is to meet such needs

Mr.. Reid and the British Campaign

British politicians have taken lear
out Of oIIr book. and are seeking to em-
barrass Whitelaw Reid as Lord Sackville
West was embarrassed here twenty-odd
years ago. A letter written by the Ameri-
can ambassador twelve months ago In re-
ply 10 an inquiry about the number OF
unemployed men In this country. and de-
nying a statement that the number ran
up into the millions. has been introduced
into the campaign in England. and the
charge made that Mr.. Reid has inter-
fered in the campaign. In the cable re-
port the matter is described a mare
nest and probably that description fits II.
There is no comparison between the
letter ascribed TO Mr.. Reid and the one
written by Lord Sackviile West me
former bears the date of December, 1908,
when there was no thought or threat of
a British election, and has for Its sub
ject question of statistics. Lord Sack

paign was in progress. and dealt with

political parties 1t is true he felt that he
was writing in confidence but he should
not have written at all. Not even an o!d
friend. much less a stranger. should have
been able to get word from him on that
subject-the tariff-at that time.
But the British campagn before copy
ing us, should have looked into the results
of our action and considered how discred-
liable the whole thing was Moreover, the
performance. both as respects the draw
ing out of the British minister and the
object of his dismissal. was futile. Not
a vote for the republican ticket was
gained by the publication of the letter,
and not one for the democratic ticket by
the brutal treatment of the offending Of
ficial. The virtuous Indignation of the re-
publicans at the interference of for
eigner in our domestic affairs, and the vir-
tuous rebuke of him by the democrats
caused, after few days, only a languid
smile
1t is to be observed that this attack on
Mr. Reid is timed to catch him on the
route to attend the funeral of his
father-in-law. He will not land until next
week, and statement by him will be by
that much behind the story put out for

believe that his enemies, with nothing
more in hand than reported, will be able
either to injure him, or cause any furry

the five committees which went out this
morning to secure signers for orna-

street. Out of a possible 120 needed
signers, between sixty and seventy
were secured while the committees
worked this morning In fact so much
progress was made that one of the
men who has been most actively in
terested In the plan said this after
noon that the lights were assured.
A committee of four waited on the
board OF supervisors this afternoon for
the purpose Of trying to induce them
to subscribe enough for the county to
install six lights along the Main street
side OF the court house square.
Some tenants and building owners
were not seen, and some refused to
take up with the proposition, but
very large majority OF those who were
solicited We're willing to pay their pro-
rata share of the cost of the posts and
for their installation. The larger the
number secured the less will be the
amount each will have to pay.
