h The Halls of Congress
BY TAV.
Special Washington Correspondence

WASHINGTON, D. C., April 25-''The re- cent democratic victory in the Rochester, N. Y.. district, is of no national importance. It was wholly local affair. Our committee took no notice of the fight"
 This declaration by Representative Mckinley of Illinois, chairman of the republican congress sonal committee, is typical of the political blind ness of many of the standpatters. Even as they are being driven back and out of public life, they deny absolutely that such is the case.
 Cases in point are those of Senator Aldrich of Rhode Island, Senator Hale of Maine, and Representative Lowden of Illinois, all of whom have announced that they will not accept re election. Senator Hale made the fight of his life that he might remain in the senate, but finding sentiment in his state was hostile, he announced that he would not be a candidate for e-eIection Until within the last month, Senator Hale has scoffed at the idea that he could not control his own state. As early as 1908 it was clearly ap- parent to all save Hale himself that his persist ent representation of special interests, his in difference to public welfare and his arrogant disregard for public opinion had aroused in his state a sentiment of such extreme hostility that 1t could not be suppressed.
 Notwithstanding Aldrich $ announcement his opponents here say they do not credit his state ment viewing it as intended for political effect and not made in good faith. If the next Rhode Island legislature is republican, many believe Aldrich will permit himself to be reelected, al though for the sake of appearance he may de- clare that such action was against his wishes If the next Rhode Island legislature should hap pen to be democratic, Aldrich will denly that it was personal defeat in all probability, explain ing that he was not candidate for reelection
 Between now and the fall elections the public may expect to hear of many standpat republi- cans declining denominations. It is said two or three members of the house will do so within the next few days. This may be accepted as an indication of the breaking up of the republican party. The authentic figures of the recent Rochester, N. Y election, have now been re- ceived, and they go a long way in explaining why republican standpatter would be justified in refusing to accept renomination

LET US MAKE HASTE

The rejection of the union high school idea by majority of the outside districts is simply a fulfllment of the prediction made by the Silver Belt at the time this move was started by com mittee from the chamber of commerce. The Si- yer Belt pointed out the grounds upon which ob- jections would be based and the returns show this paper was absolutely correct in its deduc- tions. In taking the stand at the time it did, the Silver Belt believed that it would hasten action along lines that would be acceptable to the peo pie, and give to Globe at the opening of the next school year high school building to be paid for by the taxpayers in school district No. 1.
 But the committee had hopes that the outside districts, at least majority of them, would join with No. 1 and erect the union building and the matter was allowed to go to the full limit. A union with Copper Hill and Miami has also been discouraged, and it is now up to Globe to assume the entire responsibility or forego high school altogether. The overcrowded condition of the grade rooms has made it necessary for the school at the end of this term. If immediate ac- tion is, not taken, the high school will not be opened next year.
 It is important then that immediate steps be taken looking toward bond issue of sufficient size to cover the expense of purchasing lot and building and equiping high school. There is considerable opposition to remodeling the old central school building and using it for high school purposes. It is claimed by seeming good authority that the architecture of the structure will not permit of this and another objection, which is even stronger is that about 90 per cent of the high school pupils reside east of Broad street. The Silver Belt believes that $5OOOO will easily cover the expense of securing lot and constructing and equiping the building. Itl would be good business sense if the school board would ascertain the approximate cost of lot and building and then call for bond issue to cover this expense.
 It is important that immediate action should be taken. When the board of supervisors meet to arrange tax levy that percentage for high school maintenance will be omitted if no pro- vision is made for school. If the people vote the bond issue it will be an easy matter for the trustees to secure temporary room for the high school classes pending the completion of the new building which should not be later than January l,

VOTES FOR WOMEN

VOIES FUR WOMEN
 The question whether a woman shall be allow ed to vote isn't entirely question of their fit ness to vote, for that can be demonstrated only by giving them chance to vote
 It isn't entirely question of whether all of them, a majority of them, or any of them, desire to vote; though if majority of them ardently desired the ballot the fact would have bearing because they would get it very promptly When northern administrators of ''the states lately in the rebellion" conferred the suffrage on the ne- gro, nobody appears to have considered at all whether the negro cared about voting. That was not point to be deeply considered; for the negro had been so used to not voting that he had not had time or occasion to consider wheth- CT he wanted to vote or not. The question sim ply was whether the negro had a right to the ballot and that question was altogether aside from the question whether he wanted the ballot. It is much the same way with the question of woman's suffrage.
 The issue of woman's suffrage is simply a question whether there is anything inherent in or womanhoOd that should make it necessary to restrict the suffrage to men, That leaves out of consideration, advisedly the oues ton whether women wish to vote, because they are so used to not voting that it is not surpris ing that comparatively few of them really know whether or not they wish to vote It also leaves out of considerations advisedly, the question of whether they are fitted to vote, because it would not be surprising if many of them lacked the training essential to an intelligent use of the ballot, Tn view of the fact that having no votes, they haven't had occasion to acquire that train ing. Very likely if they were given the ballot they would be as anxious to vote as men are. Undoubtedly if they were given the ballot it would be but short time before women were as we'll qualified to vote as men, if they are not as well qualified already.
 Women vote already in four states on the same terms as men. In those states nothing very remarkable has happened. The woman vote is an impulse toward better things In many respects its use is governed by a clearer vision of the objectives of human progress than is the man vote In some respects, perhaps it is not used quite so well because as yet women haven't had much encouragement to study large affairs. The fears of opponents of voman's suffrage that it will ruin womankind Ire not justified by the results in Colorado, Ida 10, Wyoming and Utah. Neither are the hopes )f those who expect woman's suffrage to bring )n the millennium in minute.
 Whether or not women should vote ism t likely o be so absorbing a question from now on as when women will begin to vote. The question whether they ought to vote is either proved in he affirmative or begged by those who pretend o prove the contrary. The fear of harm to so- iety from the votes of women is absurd. The ear of harm to womankind from contact with ublic affairs is equally absurd, as anybody must ldmit who knows of the present innumerabe activities of women in public affairs even now hat they have no votes.
