SUFFRAGE ON The ADVANCE

The cause of equal suffrage has made such
strides in America within the past three years
that many conservative spectators now look for
ward to another amendment to the constitution,
Droviding the longasked 'yotes for women.
There is no surprise occasioned by the action of
the senate committee which yesterday decided to
report the Chamberlain resolution fayorably.
senator Chamberlain's resolution, calling for the
eublnission to the states of the constitutional
amendments has been sure of a favorable report
ever since the makeup of the committee became
known. and as both houses contain many equal
suffragists, there is good reason for believing
that hard on the heels of the income tax amend
ment and direct election of senator's amendment
there will come the suffrage amendment.
Notwithstanding the rapid progress being
made in the national congress toward equal suf-
ftare the progress in the states is not less rapid
A few years ago the legislators of the various
states SHE'D away from suffrage resolutions. The
victories in Washington and California changed
ali that Now the politicians are hurrying to the
front for the women, bent largely, of course, on
making political capital. Equal suffrage has
brought about peculiar party line-ups. In

of dams and possibly some decomposing animal
matter as well. The board of health's analyses,
made at frequent intervals in the past, have

A WILSON DEFEAT

Wilson's defeat in his New Jersey jury re
form bill is more important than appears on the
surface The proposed reform was to. take away
from the sheriff's offices the duty of forming
jury panels and to give the duty to jury commits
sioners, thus taking the system out of poll
tics. The present jury system is a stronghold of
Jim" Smith and other NewIJeIsey bosses who

Alaska, whose enabling act gave it more pow
crs in this direction than Hawaii has, enfran-
chised its women by direct vote of the legisla-
ture. Hawaii, of course, has to secure the con-
sent of congress, but substantial progress was
made during the session of the Legislature just
closed. The house passed suffrage measure for
the consideration of congress, but the senate,
taking up the measure languidly and without
much show of sincere interest, chlorOformed it
during the closing days of the session.
However, there is considerable probability
that before the 1915 session of the territorial leg
islature, the states will be voting on the consti
tutionaf amendment proposed by Senator Cham
bcrlan. In which case, Hawaii will be further
