LONDON's DAY OF FRIGHT.

Washington Post: The scenes in
London on Monday where extraordi-
nsry precautions were adopted to pro-
vent the suffraEettes from carrying out
threats Of violence At parliament house
and along the route Of the royal paS-
cant from buckingham palace TO
weatminster. presented a striking con-
4raAt to the s%uffraEette parade on
Pennsylvania avenue just a week be-
fore.
At waehington the efforts Of the
authorities were directed toward pro-.
tecting the pageant from the rudeneas
Of the spectators. Al London the po-
each side OF the pageant TO protect the
royal family and the accompanying
procession from bands Of s~uffragettes
bent on committing outrages. Virgil
lance vas rewarded. and a number OF
tho venEeful militanis who were
thwarted in their mad purpose To
break through the Gordon surrounding
King George and Queen Mary were
with difhculty protected from sum-
mary punishment at the hands Of an
exaspcrated crowd.
The popuiace OF London is thor
oughly aroused to the votes for wom-
en- peril, and the demonstration Of
hostility toward tho women arrested
near the kings carriage did not fall far
short OF the activities OF 4 mob Of
lynchers.
The s~uffragettes met with another
rebuff at parliament house. where at
tacks or the premier and other cabinet
officers had been planned. The vaults
were searched. but nc %suffrasette Guy
Fsvkes was found in hiding. az had
been expected. On the outskirts Of
London two railroad stations were
burned by militant raiders, who left
q clua to their identity in the shape
Of plscards containing the words
Burning 10 get the vote"
The fact hat London has not had
such an attack Of nerves for many
years sttests the serious character Of
the situation. Conditions calling for
the massing Of 10000 policemen and
a still larger force Of military to in.
sure the safety Of royal heads and the
ministcrial Ohicials in the discharge
NJ their duties are difficult to co,npre.
hend.
1t Is a new experience Of any gov
eminent to have an uprising Of TN.
scrupulous IN to deal with, and
10 ind. upon exhausting every re-
source but bloody reprisals, that no
apprcciable Roadway has been made
toward suppressing the movement.
The petltlon which the suffragettes
attempted TO put into the kings hand
vi in the form OF an ultimatum, AZ il
would appear from the tenor Of an
extract saying that "if law aud order
are to be re%estabiished in this realm,
women must have the vote. Votcs
for women is the only cure for mill
fancy"

Il Is reported that . constitutional
amendment is likely 10 be introduced
IN consress giving women the right
TO vote for president and vice prcsi.
dent of the United States. II this IL
done It will involve more than a mere
change In this one PARTICULAR. 1t will
mean an entire change in the prin.
ciple governing the election OF our
presidents and vice presidents.
The original constitution of the Uni
ted etatss was almost silent on all
matters pertaining TO the elective
franchise. All voting was done by the
voters. not as citizens Of tho United
Slater. but as citizens Of the several
states. This Ia the situation today.
There has been M change. however,
in which the constitution has pre-
sertbsd certain regulations governing
the franchise. In the fifteenth amend.
ment 1t 10 declared that the right of
citizens to vote shall not be abridged
because Of race. color or previous con.
dillon of s%crvitude. That Is the only
provision In the constitution rs H.
stands which governs or restricts the
right TO vote.
This amendment applies to all cleo.
tions. and not TO presidential elections.
Presidents are elected. not by tina yot.
ers Of the nation. or by tho voters of
the several states. but by electors
chosen for that purpose in the states,
and chosen In such manner Ms may lie
provided by tho state laws. In actual
practice all presidential electors are
chosen by 4 vote OF the people. While
this 10 the universal custom, it, is not
necessary under the federal constitu-
tion. II the people Of a state should
desire that their presidential electors
should DO chosen by the state Iesisla.

custom y not now followed In that
the states do not Wish Il 70.
An amendment could b adopted. II
the people Of the nation desired 1t.

vote should not be abridged on ac-
count Of sex and more than Of color.

Political Handshaking

Can President retain popu-
lar favor without wholesale hand
shaking? Mr.. Wilson seems to
think so. as he has abandoned
for this year at least, the his
toric New Years reception where
the chief magistrate appears as
the human pump-handle for 1000
TO 10, 900 people. But Washing
ton has grave doubts.
The meanest ward politician
knows the value Of the hand
shake. The ingratiating well
come to his constituents, he
feels, is accepted in lieu of
straightforward devotion tothe ir
interests. Public council halls
and legislatures are full of men
otherwise unqualified. who get
by on their ability TO throw the
fervor of personal friendship into
a handclasp.
All Presidents up to Wilson
have submitted as gracefully as
might be. They have studied
carefully the technique of the
thing, have learned to grasp the
hand of the public with firm
hold, shaking rather than being
shaken, as thereby the strain on
arm muscles and nerves is re-
duced. They gracefully push the
public along so that the whole
line keeps walking. 1t has been
worse than going out in the back
yard and saving up a cord of
wood, but no one hitherto has
ventured to dispute this impreg-
nabIe Political fact.
When Washington was q pro.
yincial village, the New Years
reception brought together di-
verse elements from distant
states and promoted friendly re-
Iations. Now il is merely one
# the show sights. II the See
