The Suffrage Hike.

For sixteen days a small squad of wom-
en- have been tramping from New York
to Washington carrying message to the
next President of the United States urg-
ing him to exert his influence in behalf
of equal suffrage. They have walked
through mire and slush, in snow and In
rain and in the cold, tainted by crowds
of unthinking boys and men. subject to
embarrassments, privations and physical
sufferings This would. perhaps. be an
impressive spectacle and their arrival
here today would be hailed as a notable
occasion if there were any excuse or rea-
son for the performance. But there is no
such reason. The woman suffrage move
ment in this country is now on plane of
success. Achievements are being steadily
scored as state after state grants the
franchise to women. 1t is generally &C
cepted that in a few years the majority
of the states will have extended the vote
to both sexes, and the day cannot be far
distant when all American women will
cast ballots for all officers. The cause
needs no sensational advertising to make
1t popular, to attract attention or to arrest
the country's thought. The hike from
New York to Washington has been a bit
of melodrama quite out Of keeping with
the dignity OF the American propaganda.
and 1t is to be deplored that the meeting
here of women interested In the suffrage
cause. eliminating in the great parade
of next Monday. should have as a feature
the futile. needless. self-sacrificing and
altogether ridiculous march in midwin-
ter. Woman suffrage is q progressive
idea. 1t has it's whole strength of appeal
In the thought Of the worlds advance
ment from the rigid conventions, the re-
stricting limitations and the illogical
segregations Of earlier times A mid
winter march Is a reversal to primitive
conditions. If the sensational suffragists
had been DESTROYS of effectively arresting
the thought Of the country on this occa-
sion in carrying a message to the new
President, they would have sent a fleet
of aeroplanes from New York to Wash
ington, so timed as to reach here on the
eve Of the inauguration. That would have
been in keeping with the spirit Of the
age, and 1t would have at least had the
merit of consistency, which is utterly lack
ing In the case of the footsore, weary,
bedraggled pilgrims who today reached
the capital by a transportation method
that was In vogue long before woman
suffrage was seriously advocated.

A Plea.

When you march in the big parade. lady.
And bark to the cheering throng.
Remember the humble aid. lady,
OF the men who have logged along
Ahead of the real show so grand,
With hammers and nails and saws,
And toiled to build the reviewing stand
That will echo with loud applause.
Oh. give him thought that's kind. lady;
Though he's only plodding man,
With rather inferior mind, lady,
He is doing the best he can.
Some little thanks you will not refuse,
If the stormy winds should blow.
He can carry umbrellas and overshoes
And shovel away the snow.

Peace in Mexico.
rom the New York Times.

rom the New York Times.
The latest news from Mexico is as
encouraging as could be hoped Tor. We
are hearing nothing further Of ''re-
prisals." The reports of the assassina-
ton of two of Madero's brothers have
not been verified. The new amnesty
law indicates that the provisional presi-
dent is man OF good judgment and
quick action. who desires to restore peace
with as little resort to severe measures
as possible. To be sure. the Inflated
Madero also promised amnesty to all
rebels who surrendered within a specified
time. and none surrendered, but his gov
eminent was obviously weak from first
to last, while Huerta's thus far has
seemed strong. Much depends upon his
ability to keep his promises and his
success in mastering an army fit to be
reckoned with. 1t must be remembered
that he defeated Orozco decisively at
Bachimba, and would have crushed that
rebellion entirely II his hand had not
been stayed by Madero

Customs and Costumes.

"Why do politicians wear high hats
and frock coats?" asked the person who
makes trivial inquiries.
We'll" replied Senator Sorghum, 1.-The
high hat and the frock coat constitute
the appropriate attire for occasions both
Of mourning and congratulation. And
every election makes politician feel as
II he were going to a funeral or

The Fight Not Over Yet.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
The two-battleship program is not lost
because the little navy men, by a ma
jority of eighteen. prevailed in the House
Wednesday. AT the last session of Con-
gress the friends Of the navy led a for
lorn hope for only one battleship until
almost the eleventh hour of the session.
The two-battleship program is in no
worse case now than the proposal to COM
promise by authorizing one ship was at
that time. If the Senate stands for two
ships the battle will be fought over again
in the House as the session closes. Should
it be a question Of adding two ships to
the navy or none. the majority of eighteen
in the House would disappear, We be-
lieye,
