OF any size.
The meetings are held, as a rule, In
some bar parior, and the discussions
are about members and often non

being henpecked. When evidence hae
been brought to show that a particular
man has allowed himself to come IN

of a husband permitting his wife to
usurp bis position as master, and when
the others have Endorsed his remarks

Root Raises Race Question.

Senator Root Of New York, in his
attempt TO lug the race question in
to the discussion Of the amendment
10 the constitution providing for cleo
ton OF United States senators by d.
rect vote. probably did not strength
en- the opposition TO the measure, but
on the contrary, succeeded n solid
flying the southern sentiment in
favor of il.
Senator Root was opposing the
Borah resolution on the ground that
il takes away from congress the sup
ervision OF the election of United
States senators. He declared that
the national government could not
afford 20 barter away" that privi-
lege should need arise for such sup
eryision" Then he went on 10 speak
of the observance of the Fourteenth
and Fifteenth amendments 10 the
constitution and declared that from
time 10 time things happen" IN
the southern states which should not
be permitted, and which should be
corrected by the states or the ma

Irrelevant Issues.

When this parade is made Of per-

disposition to give too much value

by men who do swear. who do drink,
who do gamble, who have others
than the small vice OF using tobacco
and who do not live In Y NJ. c. A

moral censorship over the south for.
10! these many years. The fact that
crimes against the ballot may be
committed in the south, as they IN
doubtedly have been committed in
the north, does not abrogate the
right guaranteed in the constitution
to state 10 control its own elections
Such an argument as this of Sen
ator Root, when analysed, brings US
down to the old doctrine of federal
control, wherein the sovereign
states become merely dependencies
of the national government. The in
lection into the case of the race Ques-
ton can have no other object than to
appeal to prejudice. This attempt to
influence opinion through such an
appeal should recoil upon those who
are responsible for it, and il will.
