THE PRESIDENT STILL WINNING.

President Wilson's narrow margin of support in
the Senate gives every indication of being sufficient,
under his prudent management, to accomplish all his
purposes. The lobby investigation sprung at pre-
csey the right time to strengthen the hands OF the
Administration. Enough has been developed to make
it good deal more difficult for wabbling Senators to
bolt their party and help repudate the party prom
ises Pretty plainly, now, are going to have free
wool and free sugar. If they prove as good thing
for the country the Administration believes, Demo-
cratic tariff policy will largely be vndicated If they
prove as unfortunate as their opponents insist, we
will at least have the verdict of experience on the
subject.

SUFFRAGE CROSSES THE MISSISSIPPI.

What is once gained for the cause of woman suf-
frage is never thereafter lost to it. Give half the
population the ballot, and the chance of taking it
away with the consent of that half is decidedly uni-
portant
What they once gain, therefore, the women hold
Their latest victory is in Illinois, where the egisla-
ture has passed the law to grant women the vote on
all statutory offices. That is, they may vote for all
places provided for under the laws rather than the
constitution. Illinois cities are organized under
charters granted by law; so the women may vote in
municipal elections, though they may not vote for
governor. Likewise, the selection of Presidential
electors is provided for by law of the State there
fore the women will have the vote for President
To have granted women the suffrage to con-
sttutona offices would have required an amend
ment to the constitution. The State has gone as far
as it can 60 without such an amendment. 1t is a
reasonably safe guess that, with the leverage now
placed in their hands, they will not be long prying
the necessary amendment into the constitution. The
plan of having two kinds of ballots at the same eec-
tion one for women and another for men, will be
cumbrous and troublesome; on the other hand it
will afford an opportunity for a closer analysis of
the actual workings of woman suffrage than
has ever been given such scale in this
country.
Illinois, of all the States in the mid-Western
group among which il is the Empire Commonwealth,
was the slowest to join the movement that found its
inspiration in reawakened public conscience But
it joined with whoop when last year. it was swept,
in the primaries, for Theodore Roosevelt and it has
been progressive since. There could hardly be
more ideal opportunity to test out the practical DOS
sibilities of votes for women than is now provided
in Illinois, If the State presently shall lapse back
into the ruck of bossism and graft and corruption
that have too long characterized its affairs, ten in
deed will be justified the accusation so often made
as to some of the farther Western States: that the
enfranchisement Of women doubles the number of
voters but does not lift the moral plane.

And, ere I told my passion,

In quite romantic fashion.
But, when I thought the prize was won,
My heart with poy inflated,
She hinted Bradetreet, also Dun.
And asked how I was rated.
Amazed at this, I questioned why
She touched on golden Golfers.

And mentioned other Offers

THE NEW PENNSYLVANIA"

Dec1oedly SENSATIONAL, IN It's 1mpEcau0n OF posi-.
bilities for the organization of railroad systems
greater than any that the country has yet known, is
the proposal that the Pennsylvania take huge
block of Southern Pacific stock, now owned by the
Union Pacific, in exchange for the Baltimore and
Ohio stock now owned by the Pennsylvania.
The Union Pacific dissolution order is based on
the idea that the Union Pacific control of the parallel
and competing Southern Pacific is in restraint of
trade. That objection, it is assumed, would not lie
against the Union Pacific holding even dominating
proportion of the Baltimore and Ohio, which would
be connecting and extending rather than a compet-
ing, line.
Similarly the Southern Pacific as a subsidiary of
the Pennsylvania would be an extension Of the lat
ters system, rather than the control of parallel and
competing road.
At present, the lines of Pennsylvania and South
ern Pacific do not connect. But the news stories
represent that this is proposed to be overcome by
having the Pennsylvania take the control of the
Atlantic Coast Line Company of Connecticut which
controls the Atlantic Coast Line railroad and also the
great Louisville and Nashville system. With these
accessions the Pennsylvania system would gridiron
the South as it does now the middle East and the
nearer midwest, and would connect at New Orleans
with the rails of the Southern Pacific, carrying it en-
tirely the continent Thus would be realized
u
one management
But out of this series of gigantic transactions
would come another transcontinental system The
Baltimore and Ohio lines run to Chicago and ST.
Louis. The Union Pacific controls the illinois Gen.
trail. Union Pacific domination in Baltimore and
Ohio would, therefore, produce ranscontinentall
system including the Baltimore and Ohio from the
East to Chicago and ST. Louis, the Illinois Central
from those points to Omaha, and the Union Pacific
thence to Ogden. 1t is understood that the Attorney
General insists turning over the Central Pacific,
from Ogden to the coast to Union Pacific control.
If that be worked out the Union Paci6cCent Pa
cifc-Illinois Cenral-Batimore and Ohio system
would span the continent
Edward H. Hartman, with wonderful imagina-
ton, tremendous vision of the future, and financial
wizardry that made him the most spectacular financial
figure of his time, was responsible for the possibilities
involved in this entire scheme. Had he lived and had
the law left him free to execute his projects he would
doubtless have had complete transcontinenta sys-
tenn ere this. How we'll he laid his plans for it is
suggested by the fact that in the dissolution of the
Western system that he founded the logic of COM
pliance with the law brings forward another project
that would precisely have satisfied the Hartman am
bitions.
