Votes for Everybody.

The new franchise and registration
bill which has been introduced in the
British House of Commons is a great
improvement upon the existing ballot
law. The present jungle of qualifca-
tons is cleared away and every adult
man, excepting lunatics or criminals I'M
dergoing sentence, will be given one
vote-but only one upon short residen-
tial qualification. To this an amend
ment, if one should be offered, will be
admissible, including women on the same
terms as men, or on any other terms.
The new measure does not seem to
need infinite debate or discussion. The
principles, of course, are highly i'm
portant, but they are broad and quite
simple. The faults of the present fran
chise law, plural voting and that of
injustice, making many voteless, often
for no weightier reason than that they
have changed their place of residence,
have been avoided The decision on
the so-called 'latch-key' cases (they
can be quite satirical. our British cou-
sins, despite their phlegm) have been
confusing and conflicting. The defects
OF so outworn a garment could never
be healed by patches and darning, re-
quiring abundant parliamentary time,
but withal not reaching to the very
bottom of things.
The bill asks the House this simple
question: Shall each man have one vote
and no more? 1t permits the addition Of
a provision regarding woman suffrage,
a subject already thoroughly discussed.
The interesting point to watch is the
application of the scheme to local cleo
tons, but there seems to be no reason
why there should be a different law for
such elections. As far as possible there
should be only one system OF registra-
ton for all elections and the franchise
should be similar, if not identical, for
all This will necessitate a number of
changes, but they are not unsurmount-
able, if simplicity is their aim and a
plain law understood by all

An Unnecessary Dilemma

The embarrassment caused by the
failure of two appropriation bills, due
to the fact that they were vetoed BY
President Taft, was entirely unneces-
sary. 1t could have been avoided in
two ways, the first not at present prac-
teal, but the other one absolutely
within the power of Congress.
There should be an amendment to
the Constitution allowing the President
to veto any one or more items in an
appropriation bill without compelling
him to disapprove the entire measure.
As there is no such amendment. this
suggestion cannot now be put into
practical operation.
Congress. however, ought not to use
an appropriation bill as a medium for
enacting legislation. These measures
are financial budgets pure and simple
and ought to be so maintained In re-
cent years the evil of ENGRAVING legis-
lation upon appropriation bills has
steadily grown until now the commit.
tees on appropriations have become not
only the great financial but also the
foremost legislative agents of both
houses of Congress. This is absolutely
wrong.
Keep the appropriation bills free
from legislation and the situation which
has created so much trouble cannot &C.

This is what Thaw did, when made

cause il was this same Jerome who

This is in no sense an apology of
Thaw or of his tumultuous career, but
to declare him a paranoiac, because he

tiee, nor any part Of fair deal, and
enough almost to make a sane man lose

The main question before the court is
whether these outbursts are due to in
sanity or to i'll temper. Judge Keogh be-
fore whom the case is heard, has had
a good deal of experience in similar
cases and is fully competent to Judge.
His decision will be awaited this time
with especial interest, as quite an impor-
tant legal issue is involved.

The Second Week.

The Baltimore convention may be
stampeded after all Despite the news
flashed broadcast over Sunday that all
had been settled and that Wilson would
be nominated as soon as the delegates
congregated yesterday for the work of
the second week, balloting went merrily
on with the same, that is, with no re-
suit Wearied with protracted and re-
sultless sessions and ready to seize upon
anything that may promise release, the
delegates may grasp at some unexpect-
ed incident that would lead them to
unite upon some candidate, just to get
away.
So far Baltimore, like Chicago, has
been proof against all efforts to STAN
pede the convention. Just as the Re
publican delegates turned a deaf ear
to Mr., Roosevelts appeals in person,
Mr.. Bryan's dramatic surprises have
failed to make any impression upon his
colleagues at Baltimore.
At both conventions the delegates
were on guard to ward off anything but
legitimate procedure. No more catch
penny phrases for the men who went to
the conventions to name the best man
as their standardbearer, one in whom
they have confidence to lead the party
10 victory Both skilled swayers of pop
ular emotions saw their timeworn tricks
fail this year, which formerly led them
TO victory. And as to such devices as the
girl in white wrapped in the Stars and
Stripes and waving aloft the ban
ner, as to megsphones and organized
cheering like at baseball or football
games, or the efforts Of theatrical
"Claques" are unworthy of an assembly
with such serious business on hand.
Which Of the three leading forces may
survive, or which Of them may crumble
from exhaustion, or again whether such
fate is in store for all three of them,
II is impossible to predict under such
conditions. As near as a forecast is
permissible at all, it is one that the
Wilson people hope to see the tired and
WORKOUT Clark and Underwood men
come over to their fold from sheer ex-
haustion, in which case the victorious
faction of course will speak of such an
action as done from a conviction" that
none but Wilson can lead progressive
Democracy to victory at the November
polls.
Boss Murphy in the meantime means
10 fish again in the dark and is look
ing for fresh pasture for his sheep with
out having the Bryan dogs set on them.
Bryan himself is ever on the qui vive
10 retain the center of the stage. That
there are times for damning Tammany
as well as times for coddling it has
been shown by Mr. Bryan, who in 1000
was only too glad to get the aid of
Croker to stem the tide against him
started by the late David Bennett Hill
over the reformation of his free silver
plank, but who now thunders against
Murphy and the Gold-Dust twins, Ryan
and Belmont. 1t is always thus. 1t all
depends upon whose OK is gored.
And in the meantime, Brother George
William Curtis was right when he said
that Democrats were very hungry, and
you may well believe very thirsty" in
such weather especially.
