The Latest Suffrage Move.

Not content with kissing the chancellor
of the exchequer at recent meeting and
attempting to express thereby their dis
approval Of the British governments pol
icy, with the result Of lessening the
kindly interest Of their most earnest ad-
vocate in the cabinet, the suffragettes of
London have undertaken to antagonize
the authorities of the capital and force
the adoption of radical measures Of re-
preston. Taking a cue from the govern
ments's solfcitude for the business inter-
ests in the matter of the coal strike, the
militant suffragettes have started on
course of property destruction that passes
all previous performances. Scores Of
them swarmed last evening through the
shopping district of London, smashing
windows and doors and destroying an i'm
mense amount Of property before the raid
was checked, estimated at upward Of
$4,000 One hundred and fifty women
were arrested. including Mrs. Pankhurst
The theory Of this new phase Of militant
suffragism Is that the government will be
forced to take up the cause in order to
protect the business interests. Just as 1t
has been compelled to espouse the cause
Of the miners. There Is. however. de-
and it may be questioned whether the
government can venture to adopt the
suffrage doctrine under threats. If the
militant women of London can by a few
displays of hooliganism bring the minis
try to its knees. there Is an end to good
government in Great Britain. Any in
terest then that desires legislation has
only to start raid and continue raiding
until the business interests demand prptec-
ton through the placation Of the obstrep-
erous faction. It Is always possible to take
city by surprise for time enough to de-
stroy good deal Of property. Thus the
suffragists can repeat their performance
within a week, and unless London goes
into a state. of Siege. with policemen and
troops patrolling every business street
almost shoulder to shoulder. the destruc-
ton OF property can continue indAnriitely.
This Is no less than warfare. organized

Roosevelt's Pure Democracy.

The boosted superiority of Roosevelts
pure democracy characterized by the
initiative, referendum and recalD over
the representative government established
by the forefathers through the Consti-
tuition is based on the assumption that
the average American voter of the ma
jority is more apt to make and construe
laws wisely than trusted representatives
OF these voters, selected in theory for
trained ability to do this particular work
honestly and WE'LL George Washington
and the constitution makers thought
that as the average American employed
10 advantage an honest and experienced
carpenter to build his house, 20 he would
wisely secure an honest and experienced
legislator to make his laws and honest
and experienced judges to construe these
laws when made.
The thought OF the founders OF the gov
eminent Of. by and for the people was
that the people were best served when
they did not undertake each man to be
his own statesman and legislator and
each man to be his own supreme court:
that the average busy American was q
better judge of men than of laws, and
was better fitted 10 select representa-
tive more capable than himself to make
and construe his laws than to make and
consrue them for himself. 1t seems never
to have occurred TO the forefathers that
if the majority of the people made a fail
ure of the job OF selecting wise and hon.
est representatives to frame their laws
the remedy would be to turn over the
lawmaking function itself to the same
majority which had thus just demon
strated its incapacity. The same demon
alizing influences of ignorance. folly. cor
ruption and indifference among voters
which in the cases condemned prevented
the majority from recognizing or choos-
ing wise and honest legislators might be
expected to prevail II instead of selecting
men this majority should be intrusted
with the duty Of recognizing and adopt
ing wise and honest laws.
II We, as American voters, have made
q discFeditable failure of indirect repre-
sentative legislation our attitude toward
the proposition of direct popular legisla.
tion as q substitute should be one Of
humility and self-reproach, not one o.

responsibility for the evils of existing
conditions. our inexcusable neglect a.

Sugar. and the Excise Tax.

Do Mr.. Underwood and his friends
mean It? Or are they merely playing
politics? Do they desire and expect their
sugar schedule and so-called excise tax
to be killed In the Senate leaving them
for campaign purposes their bid for the
free breakfast table vote and the votes
of those who want the rich more heavily
assessed?
If they mean it, and promise by 1t leg
islation by the democracy on such
line II the party is intrusted with full
power, then a most important step has
been taken In the way of taxation.
In the first place, free sugar will great
" impair, If 1t does not destroy. both
the cane sugar and the beet sugar indus
tries in this country. They have not
grown greatly even with the aid of pro-
lection. Without 1t they will be certain
TO suffer. A dispatch from New Orleans
estimates loss to the cane sugar inter-
ests of Louisiana at ten million dollars
probably a conservative estimate.
In the second place, if an excise tax
can be laid and made to stick in this
case. 1t can be applied in other cases
and emergencies. Why proceed further
with the effort to amend the Constitution
in favor of an income tax? Has not the
way been found for whipping the gentle
man with horns and the forked tail
around the stump? In order to make the
breakfast table entirely free, or put
other articles on the free list. it will only
he necessary to increase the excise tax
to cover whatever loss Of revenue is to
follow The battle will be won by the
establishment of the excise tax. Raising
or lowering the rate can be arranged
with no great trouble.
Mr. Broussard of Louisiana protests.
Certainly But Mr.. Underwood has the
laugh on him The Louisiana democracy,
with full knowledge of the party's tariff
doctrine, helped elect the present House
and organize 1t. The Louisiana members,
with their eyes open, voted for Mr.. Clark
for Speaker and Mr.. Underwood for
chairman of ways and means. Besides,
come what may, Louisiana will vote for
the nominee of the Baltimore convention
whoever he may be, and whatever the
platform upon which he stands may re-
cite. Mr.. Underwood Is taking no risk
SO far as the electoral vote of>Louisiana
is concerned.
Mr.. Underwood continues to manifest
courage and consistency in the face Of
problems which, as a rule, give aspiring
politicians pause. He Is an aspirant for
the presidency. and yet voted against an
increase in pensions. He represents a
district heavily interested in iron and
steel, and yet he reported and passed a
tariff schedule materially reducing duties
on those articles and those products.
He is a southern man, and yet here he
takes a whack at a leading southern in
dustry. and in doing SO takes a long step
toward something very much discussed
and praised in certain quarters. but sell
dom boosted by an act of any kinda
tariff for revenue only. A tax on sugar
carries large incidental protection.

He Beat the Game.

There was q man who led a life
With apprehension vexed..
He said: This year is filled with strife
And worse is coming next;
And, candidly, I have fear
Which daily haunts me, that
The world will find the following year
Is even worse than that"
And so he missed the sunshine bright
That gilds the present hour,
Until trolley car in fight
Overwhelmed him with its power.
His ante-mortem statement seemed
A sigh Of bliss intense

Might get me ten years hence"

Taft and the Seven Governors.
From the New York World.

tIOm tho new 1OIk WWM.
Mr.. Roosevelt's letter Of acceptance was
addressed to seven governors, whom he
described as 1.-THE men elected by popular
vote to stand as the heads Of government
in their several states" These governors
are Hadley of Missouri, Glasscock of
West Virginia, Aldrich of Nebraska, Bass
Of New Hampshire, Carey of Wyoming,
Osborn of Michigan and Stubbs of Kan
sas. We find that as candidate for gov
ernor. Hadley polled 1855. 932 votes to
Taft's 347,2O3. Glasscock polled 139 s17
to Taft's 1880. Aldrich polled 122.SS3
to Tafts 126.987. Bass polled 44,90S to
Taft's 55.149 Carey polled 21.0S6 to Taft's
20,S45. Osborn polled 2O2,s63 to Taft's
1876. $50. Stubs polled 162. 1S1 to Taft's
197. PIG. In these seven states as whole.
Taft polled $50. 1919 more votes than the
seven governors. He ran behind only in
Wyoming, where Carey's name was on
the democratic ticket. and in Missouri.
which is normally q democratic state. In
all the five republican states he received
more votes than the governors. Why
should anybody assume that the seven
little governors who polled fewer votes
than Taft are more representative Of re-
publican sentiment than the President?
