GOVERNOR WILSON'S PROGRAM.

TN HIS recent speeches throughout the West and
Il elsewhere Governor Wilson of New Jersey
talks almost constantly about the changing opin-
ions of voters. Party labels he thinks do not in
huence voters so much as they once did. The vot-
ers are really divided into two camps, he says.
On the one side are the so-called Conservatives;
the other the so-called Progressves. 1t seems
10 be the wish of the Governor TO push all the
Conservatives into one bunch and all the Progress
sives into another Hence we see him and some
others using the words Tory and LIBERAL and
some newspapers are taking up this designation.
Mr. Wilson evidently wants to all the Lib
erals in the Democratic party and all the Tories"
in the Republican party. Mr.. Bryan tried TO have
this done, but he found so many Democrats who
did not agree with him that the so-called liberal
party Of Nj. F1yan had no chance of victory. But
the Dem rats retreated from what has been
called Brylnism, they gained strength. And at
the same time divisions appeared in the Republi-
can camp. In truth both parties are divided. The
Republicans in the West arc sadly divided and
the division among the Democrats is hardly less
marked than that of the Republicans. Just how
long this situation is to continue no one seems
TO be able 10 tell
The Governor thinks that the tariff issue will
be uppermost And yet the Republicans of the
Taft stripe have fairly met that subject by urging
a permanent tariff commission which shall inves
tgate the tariff question and the schedules and
attempt TO solve the problem. This plan has been
displeasng TO the Democratic leaders who think
there is another election TO be on the issue
and it is dspleasng to the radical protectonists
of the American Tariff League stamp. But it is
pleasing TO the greater number Of manufacturers
who arc weary Of the political agitation Of the
tariff and it is pleasing to the many workingmen
who know that despite all the theoretical talk
about the tariff the plain, hard facts that if
there is violent change in the tariff schedules,
industries will he hampered and there will be shut
downs with men thrown out Of work. Then there
will be see-sawng and further revisions, possibly
higher schedules and all that-the industries made
the football of politics
How much better it would be to take Mr., Taft's
view. which in brief is merely a settling of the
tariff problem sound business sense and care
ful consideration of all the interests such as a
peculiarly delicate situation involves.

Such a reform has been attempted

increasing number of women who

often, fortunately for her, no place

WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN ENGLAND.

VATOMAN SUFFRAGE is making considerable
w progress in England. The present ministry
is in humor to give very limited suffrage trial.
II looks as If law would be enacted giving the
Ballot to women who are "householders" Under
its provisions married women possessed of the
necessary property qualifications can vote, but not
in the same divisions or districts 10 which their
husbands cast their ballots.
The limited suffrage, however VIC should think
would not be satisfactory 10 the sufragsts, for
many of their leaders are unmarried women. II
Is not probable that the concessions contained in
the bill will halt the campaign Of the militant suf
fragists. Nothing will do that but real equal suf-
frage
The agitation for suffrage is not likely to cease
in the slightest degree in England in this coun-
try. II is phase of the much greater activity
shown by women in public affairs, an activity
which impressed itself upon the members Of the
Delaware Legislature during the recent session,
an activity marked by extreme persistence which
will accomplish results when the women become
