The Threat of American Militancy.

Mrs. O. II. p. Belmont. one of the most
active advocates of woman suffrage in
this country. said in London. on her way
TO the international convention of SUI
frasettes at Budapest. that, If New
York falls to awake militant methods of
the type used by the Woman Social and
Political Union of England will be adopt
ed. This is a repetition of threat ut
tered by her some time ago in the nature
of a prediction that militancy would be
started in this country inside of two
years. and il brings sharply again to no.
tice the matter of the attitude OF the
American organization on this question
of lawbreaking as a means TO the end of
Fastening action in the United States
Something should be done as quickly as
possible to put the American organiza-
ton on record against militancy, even if
this action goes no further than the
following resolutions adopted by the
Pennsylvania Woman Suffrage Associa-
ton about a month ago:
Whereas We do not pass judgment on
other organizations. We disclaim all con-
nection with militant organizations and
do not indorse or intend to use militant
methods, but shall continue to employ
educational methods as In the past
IL every state association We're TO go
on record thus there would be no need
to fear a concerted action along lines OF
lawbreaking. Still the danger is great
that the actions OF few individuals will
create the impression In the public mind
that the American suffragists. impatient
OF the rate at which progress is being
achieved. intend to pursue the tactics
that in England have caused the suf-
frage movement too be rated as species

Furnishing q Witness.

An interesting question is raised by w.
i. Boland OF Scranton. who alleges in a
paper laid before member of the Sem
ate that the Erie Railroad Company is
seeking to punish him for the testimony
which he gave before the Archibald i'm
parchment committee. and later before
the Senate during the impeachment trial.
The railroads actions. he says. are in
the nature of reprisals against his BUSH
ness, and are in the line of threats ut
tered by representatives of the COM
pany during and after the Impeachment
trial. Mr.. Boland believes that these inju-
ries inflicted upon him. through the de-
NAL Of valuable switching privileges, are
in the nature OF contempt of Congress.
and he asks for relief
II IL could be proved that any person or
corporation undertook TO punish a wit
ness for the giving of testimony before
Congress in a case of this character. the
action would surely seem TO fall within

Although "the first go" is with the
President senators expect to be consulted

A Law-Testing Crucible.

Elsewhere in The Star editorial corre-
spondence is printed zone in a series of
letterS concerning New Zealand as the
worlds experimental station for testing
radical progressive legislation. New Zea-
lands record in this role Is on the whole
highly creditable. beneficial to her own
people. and setting wholesome example
to the world. After discussing many
wise and helpful enactments this letter
touches upon two of which the results
teach either an uncertain lesson or one
of warning. The proposition to national
ize the land, denying fee simple title to
the individual and giving him only a
leasehold with fee simple title in the
government. seems to have failed in
New Zealand. The indications are that
the New Zealanders, like other English
men. want exclusive ownership of their
homes. however small; and do not wish
to be mere tenants even to their own
government The so-called compulsory
arbitration courts. which have been pro-
claimed as banishing strikes forever from
New Zealand, and which have for many
years worked to the public satisfaction
and benefit. have now broken down, and
the land of no-strikes is cursed with
the fact that the arbitration of these
courts turns out to be compulsory only in
name, since the labor unions can by TAX
ing advantage of a weakness in the law
avoid the application to themselves OF
its provisions. and strike with impunity.
The lesson of New Zealand on this point
is that the arbitration court to settle
industrial disputes is wise and whole

must be in fact compulsory, and this
compulsory arbitration must be capable

Mr.. Sisson of Mississippi.

From the New York sun.
1t is about two months since the queS-
ton Of maintaining an adequate navy as
the safeguard of peace was last before
Congress. The naval appropriation bill
was being hammered down to permit ex-
travagance in other directions. The prin-
cipal assaifant Of the bill was the Hon.
Thomas Upton Sisson of Mississippi. Not
only with regard to the two battleships
program, but also with regard TO every
other feature of the bill. naval stations,
navy yards, construction, maintenance,
pay. supplies and so forth, he was the
persistent interchangeable, microscopic
critic of proposed expenditure for national
defense. Strange to say, this Is the same
Representative Sisson who is first OF any
member of Congress to shout jingoism in
the present rather delicate situation aris-
ing from the legislation proposed In Cali
fornia.

Praying for China.
From the New York Mail.

The offering up of prayers in the
churches of this and other countries for
the Chinese republic-that peace and hap
piness and truth and justice may be estab-
lished among these ancient people forever
and that they may be led forth into
years of plenty'-is a most impressive as
we'll as a most unusual thing. No one
need be a devout man, nor even a be-
lever in the efficacy of prayer, In order
to be moved by the spectacle Of interna-
tional good will. The most inspiring thing
about it is the fact that the expression
should have been asked and answered in
such good faith.

The Dead Of the Mines.
from the Boston Globe.

Exactly 1850 men were killed in and
about the coal mines Of this country in
the calendar year 1912. More than were
killed outright at Charlottesville, or
Chickamauga, or Cold Harbor, or Fred
ericksburg, or Manassas, or Shiloh The
only comfort we can find in the report of
the bureau of mines is in the statement
that the number of miners who lost their
lives last year was the least since 1896
and that the death rate per 1,OOO employ
ed was the smallest since 1880. Some
thing has been done to protect those who
pick and blast our fuel from the bowels
Of the earth-but not enough.

A Question of State Sense.
From the Chicago Journal.

California's right to prohibit aliens
from holding land is not in dispute. The
federal government admits that right,
and many states have exercised ii. The
issue Is whether California shall put into
her law against alien landholding a pro-
vision which does no good. and which Is
known to be offensive 10 a foreign power
now on friendly terms with the United
States. 1t is not question OF state
rights 1t is question of state sense.
