immortality Not Due to Poverty.

Apropos of the evidence before the
Illinois vice commission regarding i'm
morality among poorly paid women
and girl employees in department stores,
report of an investigation by the Fed
eral Bureau of Labor in 1911 is inter
esting Information of the relation be-
tween occupation and immortality among
women was sought from the inmates of
rescue homes, refugees, and asylums.
The Investigators hesitated to make
a generalization, but stated that out OF
the medley of varying opinions two
striking facts became apparent. They
we're:
Not one person consulted had given
occupational influences as leading
cause of immortality, and only two laid
any particular stress upon them as
subsidiary causes.
Not one worker assigned poverty
or low wages as a direct and inn
mediate cause of immortality. 1t was
agreed that indirectly their influence
is great. but in the whole inquiry only
five cases were found in which the
workers reporting them believed tina,
the women had been driven into wrong
doing by want"

An inventor is a pale, studious man
who spends his life thinking up some
thing which will save trouble ana make

Inventors are protected by the govern

After an inventor has spent forty years

the Democratic side who are Of rec
ognized ability. Kern of Indiana, Will
iams of Mississippi, Bacon and Smith,
of Georgia, Tillman of South Carolina,
Martin and Swanson of Virginia,
Stone of Missouri, and 0'Gorman OF
New York are names which come in
stantly into. mind, although it may be
said truthfully that the entire per-
sonnel of the Democratic side is un-
usually high. The party ought not to
suffer through lack of wise counselors
There will, of course. be some jeal-
ousies and discord. This is to be ex-
pected. There is also certain to be
some trouble in satisfactorily arranging
all the details of the tariff bill so that
the measure will command the united
support of narrow majority. Upon
the whole, however, the Democrats are
we'll equipped in the Senate and ought
to render good account of themselves
to the country.
And President Wilson, acting either
upon his own initiative or upon wise
advice, is conducting himself admirably
so far as his relations with Congress
are concerned Thus far he has man
ifested spirit of cooperation with
the legislative branch. Nothing will
make his pathway smoother than to
have the sentiment of Congress with
him instead of against him. The great
mistake of Grover Cleveland was his
hostile attitude toward Congress. Pres
ident Wilson is not making the same
error. He is not even enforcing
against Senators and Representatives
his rule against listening to appeals
for places. More than this, he is seek
ing advice from them. and nothing is
more pleasing to the Congressional
mind than to be consulted by the
President, even though the latter, after
all, follows his own best judgment.
President Wilson is thus starting out
with the evident determination to be
on friendly terms with Congress, and
in this, as already intimated, he shows
much wisdom.
No occasion has yet arisen for any
real test of the Presidents capacity to
deal with grave problems. Enough
has been revealed OF his character,
however, to demonstrate that he is en-
dowed with common sense and mod
esty-two eminent characteristics. He
admits that he is entering upon new
and unfamiliar duties, and while he
does not lack confidence, he is, never
theless, carefully avoiding any pre-
tense of complete knowledge. He is
undoubtedly creating a favorable i'm
preston throughout the country. II he
will continue as he is now doing.
keeping his feet firmly on the ground,
he will strengthen this sentiment. His
greatest handicap is the army of
sycophants who are writing absolute
slush about him. He is not the great
est President who ever governed this
country, just as hc is not the worst,
but he is an admirable type of the
American citizen, and as such seems
destined to make an efficient Execu-
tive. To slather him with mushy
praise when he has been President for
only ten days must certainly be as dis
tasteful to him as it is amusing to the
whole country.

THE POLITICAL SITUATION

The recent agitation concerning the
suffragettes emphasizes the fact that
there is new factor in American
politics. 1t is safe to say that the
tempest would have been less violent
if there were not nine States in which
more than 100000 women have the
right to vote.
In these nine States-California,
Oregon, Washington, Utah, Colorado.
Idaho, Arizona, Kansas, and Wyom-
ing-the women voters are TO be rcck
oned with, and as there are other
States in which a similar condition
may ere long prevail, it is not sur
prising that the sex finds many cham
pions Nothing has better illustrated
the power OF the ballot than the quick
ness with which the cause OF the suf.
fragetteS in connection with the
Washington parade has been cham
pioned. The women who have not vet
been granted the right OF suffrage, and
who want it, have certainly been al
forded every incentive for further
effort.
One of the appeals OF the suffragettes
is for an amendment to the Constitu-
ton providing for equal suffrage. 1t
would seem as if such an amendment
was entirely unnecessary If there is
one thing which is plain as the basis
of Our system of government, it is
that each State, representing a unit.
shall make its laws in accordance with
its own local Judgment, when that
Judgment does not run counter to the
Federal charter If Wyoming can have
equal suffrage, so can New Hampshire
or North Carolina. The problem
would seem to be one which each
State can solve for itself 1t may be
said that by the adoption of a con-
stitutional amendment three fourths
OF the States can impose woman suf-
frage upon the remainder. This is un-
doubtedly true, but it is also equally
certain that if the suffrage cause ever
reaches the point where it is favored
by three -fourths of the States. there
will be no trouble in making it uni
versal

Good Law I'm Florida,

From the Louisville Couner-JouInal.
In 1911 the Florida Legislature enacted
law to prevent the shipment of imma-
ture or unripe citrus fruits out of the
State. Some Of the citrus growers con-
tested the law in the courts and the
Florida Supreme Court recently upheld
its constitutionality.
While the law may not be pleasing to
growers who have no conscientious scru-
Piles against the shipment OF fruit that
Is UNIT to eat. 1t will be welcomed by
consumers as a protection against con-
scienceless shippers. No one cares to
pay good money for bad fruit. No fruit
grower should desire to fiimflam his Gus
toners by taking their money for an unfit
product
The citrus growers who have been pur-
suing the new law have been pursuing an
unwise policy. There may be some tenn
porary advantage in disposing of an im-
mature crop. but IN the long run 1t will
pay the fruit grower to give his patrons
square deal and to supply them. to the
best of his baility. with a frst-class COM
modify. Florids's fruit business would
be irreparably damaged in a few years

products should become general

men and women. of voting age is prac-
tically even; in all the Middle Atlantic
States there are only 100000 fewer
women than men; and in New York
the excess of men over women is only
10000. In fact, in all the States ex-
cept the mining States of the West the
numerical division between the sexes
is almost equal The margin of differ
ence is so close that If any consider
able number of the male voters did not
go to the polls, as frequently happens,
and the women exercised the privilege
in universal fashion, they could carry
any measure upon which they were
united.
Perhaps, however. a full realization
of this possible increase of many mil
lions in the voting population may
cause the pendulum to swing the other
way.
Ii may sound heretical in these days
cry, Let the people
rule" and when some people want to
bestow suffrage upon everybody and
everything without regard to quali6ca-
ton, to say that there may be danger
in too much suffrage, but none the less
many students of political history are
disposed to be somewhat conservative.
If we are to have the initiative and
the referendum and the recall, and if
we are to substitute pure democracy
for representative government, which
seems to be the trend of the times,
then it is all the more important that
those who do vote should be people
of intelligence and equipped with a due
sense of their responsibility. The CEN
sus shows that nearly 100000 men of
voting age in this country are actually
illiterate, and that of this number only
$4,000 are negroes. If the blanket
of suffrage is extended indiscriminately
over the women it means that the num-
Der of those unprepared for the duties
of citizenship will be vastly increased
There is menace in submitting grave
questions involving judicial decisions
and property rights and a clear un-
derstanding of laws to voters who are
ignorant and in large measure identi-
fed only with the lowest strata of So
ciety.
There is. of course, a very general
sentiment that women should share the
ballot with men. They pay taxes and
have vital interest in a good govern
ment which protects the family and
the home. At the same time, before
the electorate is increased by the ad-
dition of 100000 or more voters. i:
is probable that there will be reform
whereby the question of suffrage will
not depend upon gender A property
qualification may be regarded as un-
republican. but literacy test might
well be established No person. wheth-
er man or woman. ought to be allowed
to vote unless that action can be per-
formed with intelligence, and this as
sertion will appeal with greatest force
when the number of voters becomes
doubled by the granting of suffrage to
women.

One cannot help but express admira-
ton for the activity which is dis
played by the Progressive organization.
Since the election conferences or con-
ventions have been held in many
States, and last week there was a
gathering in Pennsylvania which was
attended by number OF the party
leaders, including Col Roosevelt. There
was naturally much enthusiasm. coupled
with the expressed determination to
carry the State in the next Presiden-
tial election. In addition to all these
gatherings, the executive committee of
the party, at its December meeting,
outlined a programme of organization
and publicity which would involve an
expenditure of 100000 a year for four
years. The finance committee immedi-
ately undertook to raise this amount,
and now has an annual fund of $4,000
subscribed on the four-year basis, with
which sum much work is being done,
Including the furnishing of matter to
700 newspapers. All this indicates an
esrnestness of purpose which cannot
fail to produce effective results.
Up to the present time this activity
has been i'll marked contrast to the
quiescent condition of the Republican
party, the leaders of which have been
apparently too busily engaged with
other matters to concern themselves
with resuscitating their organization.
There are now some evidences of life,
however, in an effort to secure sub
scriptions to a fund which will have
for its immediate object the winning
of Congressional districts so as to Sc
cure the election of a Republican
House Of Representatives a year from
next fall. This endeavor has been in
augurated by Republicans who realize
that unless something is done to hold
the organization together many thou
sands Of Republicans will drift into
the Progressive ranks. The movement
has not progressed far enough to have
definite, shape, but it indicates that
some of the leaders of the party are
awakening to a realization of the con-
ditions which confront them.
In the meantime the administration
is making headway. The Offices are
being filled, although not as rapidly as
the job-hunters desire; the Senate has
been reorganized. and the Ways and
Means Committee of the House is
framing the new tariff bill preparatory
to its consideration at the approaching
extra session.
The Democratic party is fortunate in
being represented in the Senate by able
men. When the Democrats were last
in control of the Senate the leaders
were German and Hill and Voorhees,,
