The suffragettes of England in their
mad desire for the ballot are degrad-
ing rather than exalting womankind.
Had they used rational methods to
bring about the constitutional change
for which they are signing, whatever
they gained for their cause would be
gained without loss of dignity to wom-
anhood. But as it is they are pre-
JUDGING the whole nation against the
idea of votes for women. They are
lowering themselves from the exalted
position of reverence and affection
which was theirs through the influ-
ence of the Church, and causing bit

1t is said that in England today there
is a growing antagonism between the
sexes which owes its origin to the
sensational and ill-managed suffrag-
cite campaign.

Anent the announcement of the can
didacy of Judge John w. Willis of St
Paul for delegate-at-large to the Ma
tional Democratic convention which
will be held in Baltimore in June, a
sketch of the life OF the distinguished
jurist will not be out Of place at this
time.
Judge Willis was born in st. Paul
July IL, 1854. He received his pre-
liminary education in the public
schools of his native city, after which
he attended the University of Mime
sofa and Dartmouth College, being
graduated at the last named institu-
ton In the year 1877. He then began
the study of law, and while pursuing
his studies was for some time an in
structor in Latin and Greek languages
In the Central High School of st.
Paul. In the year 1880, the year in
Which he began the practice of the
legal profession, he was honored with
the degree of Master of Arts by his
Alma Mater. In 1892 he became a
candidate for judge Of the district
court for the Second judicial district
of Minnesota, and was elected He
served term of six years, and acuuit-
ted himself with honor, but did not
become a candidate for reelection.
Since retiring from the bench he has
remained in private life, devoting his
entire time to the practice of law and
to the study of sociological questions
Before his elevation to the bench, Mr..
Willis served for many years as a.
member of the State Board of Correc-
ton and Charities. He became an in
terested student in the problems of
philanthropy and penology, acquiring
such depth and breadth of informa-
tior on those subjects as to be re-
garded ever since as an authority
thereon. Judge Willis is a writer of
considerable distinction. He was
chosen to write articles on "Minne
sota," Corporations" Common Law"
Capital Punishment" and bio
graphical sketch OF Father Hennepin
for the new Catholic Encyclopaedia
He is a scholar for whom the classics
have never lost their charm. He
reads widely and is conversant in
Latin, French, Spanish, Italian and
German. He is member of the So
ciety of the Sons of the American
Revolution and is q Knight of Column
bus. He was Grand Knight of the
st. Paul council during the year
1908. He has attained wide celebrity
as an orator, combining the grace of

A CHANGE OF ATTITUDE.

While the Unionists OF Ulster are
magnifying the Importance of a con-
stitutional change which would give
Ireland self-government, the leaders
in the English House of Commons are
becoming more AMI more strongly i'm
pressed by the fact that there are
other issues before the nation which
are more significant than Home Rule.
Il. P. O'Connor believes that the re-
cent strike has caused a favorable
change in the attitude of the English
people on the Irish question by con-.
vincing them of it's secondary i'm.
portance. He writes:
The strike has changed the whole
perspective of the Home Rule issue.
1t lis surveyed everywhere with a
truer sense of proportion. Mr.. Bal.
four has been one of the first to rec
ognize this fact, and to pronounce the
opinion that important though Home
Rule may be as a political issue, it is
small in comparison with the issues
raised by the strike. From my own
point of view l have always held that
considering the mighty imperial in
terests that are involved, Home Rule
has always been a much less terrible
or affrighting thing than the less sane
tories imagine. 1t Is not the full cir
Gle of parliamentary revolution and
the reconstruction of really i'm
perial parliament, it is but segment
of circle"
With the gradual progress Of de-
mocracy in England the prejudice
against Irish self-government will
yield. England has problems to meet
which it can best meet by disposine
of the Irish question. A contented
Ireland would leave the English gov
eminent much needed time to meet
Its own urgent national problems.

BREMER's SUCCESS CERTAIN.

In the st. Paul municipal campaign
the Republicans are contenting them
selves with suggestive references to
the Murphy Conner machine"
They seem to go on the hypothesis
that all that Is necessary to brighten
the people is to suggest an ominous
name and insinuate Its terror. They
would have the voters believe that
every man on the Democratic ticket
Is directly responsible to two men who
have absolute control over the entire
administration Of the city.
That is a negative way of COM
paigning. 1t is the method by which
insinuation is substituted for arsu-
ment. 1t Is an attempt to prejudice
voters against honest men by suggest
ing dishonesty without proving any
thing. But the voters Of st. Paul
are too intelligent to be deceived by
such methods. They know what the
administration has given them and
they know what they want. They
know, too, that there is no relation
between a suggestion Of evil doing
and the proof Of 1t.

THE HURRY MANIA.

America has become known to the
world as the place where things are
done hurriedly ii not always we'll.
Hustling has become a passion with
us. We are always busy. We have
no time to devote to anything which
does not promise immediate and pay
Ing results. For the average Ameri-
can business man recreation is a lux
ury and all leisure a waste of time
The rushed office man is too busy to
go a dozen blocks to his home for
lunch. The one or two meals he
takes at his home each day are eaten
hurriedly. He visits with his fam
lily occasionally on Sunday, if he has
not an appointment for a special bust
ness call.
Why this mad haste? Why this in
sensate desire to do things quickly?
The reason seems to be that someone
got the hurry idea into his head and
everybody else thought that the rules
of the game required his following
suit. We have all taken to the race
course without thought of our adapti-
bility to the requirement Of the track
Just because we saw sprinter strike
out and felt that we had 70 do some
thing.
What are we gaining and what are
we losing by our speed mania? Are
the results proving our wisdom? The
facts seem to be that we are gaining
wealth at the cost of health; that we
are sacrificing our vitality for profits
which without vitality we cannot en-

THE THIRD TERM.

1t is well known fact that one of
tne points on which the constitutional
convention of 1887 debated long and
laboriousy was how the President of
the United States should be elected
and how long he should be permitted
to hold. office. There were those in
that convention who favored making
the term of the chief executive seven
years with re-eligibility. Others again
favored making tho term seven years
provided thereafter he should he in
eligible for reelection. The final re-
suit was virtually compromise. The
convention decided that the term of
the President should be four years
and refused to decree ineligibility.
But George Washington and Thomas
Jefferson soon showed by their atti-
tudc what the sentiment of the time
was. They both believed that demo-
cratic government demanded the plac-
ing Of limitation on the number of
years a President might serve. JEFF
ferson himself saw dangers ahead in
re-eligihility unless law or a GUS
tom provided against it. In a letter
to George Washington written in 1888,
he said: This (the re-eligibility OF
the President) will make an office for
life first and then hereditary. I wa.
much an enemy of monarchy before
l came to Europe. am ten thou
sand times more SO since have seen

American people that he would not be
