BLUE SKY" LEGISLATION.

The fact tnat blue sky banking bills based on
the famous Kansas act of 1911 are now under con-
sideration by thirty different legislatures may
be taken as heaithful sign of public determina-
on to do away with the lotaon of wildcat securities
The fact that in the preparation of those bills their
authors have in practically every instance accepted the
Kansas act in its original form and without question
as to how it has worked out is less pleasing Ger
tainly there is no other Legislative subject that
requires clearer differentiation between construc-
tive thought and radcalism than that of banking
Kansas itself, after two years experience, has
found that the law in its present form places strin-
gent and wholly unnecessary restriction upon legt-
mate investment business. The State commissioner
of banking is foremost among the advocates of an
amendment allowing to established brokers special
blanket permit which all but relieves them of SUPER
vision. The law has proved virtually unavoidable;
and because its general enforcement was impossible
it has failed of its purpose to check the otaton of
undesirable securities well.
1t seems plausible enough to say that if bankers
are doing only legitimate business they need not fear
the imposition of restrictions upon illegitimae bust
ness But neither the public nor the publics
legislators can be expected fully to appreciate what

A GREAT DAY FOR SUFFRAGE

Monday March 8, the most imposing suffrage
demonstration the world has ever seen will take
place in Washington filter time and place could
not have been chosen than the capital of the
try and the day before the Inauguration of liberal
type of President and the pageant will in every
way be worthy of the occasion For it will not be
militant demonstration; rather, it will be held by
permission and with the assistance of the public
authorities and the President and the Presdenteect
will review it together. 1t will be picturesque to
catch the popular eye; but, more than ALL it will be
impressive in its numbers, in the high character of
the women and men taking part in it, in the feature
designed to illustrate the rapid progress the cause
has made in the past few years.
we feel says one of the leaders of this move
ment, that this pageant procession, like those
splendid religious professions of the middle ages,
will have power to convert, to encourage, and in
spire" There is no doubt that the pageant will fill
the measure of the eye, to the striking phrase
that President Taft imported from the ORIENT that
it will have the effect of engaging the serious atten-
ton of the whole country. The force, dignity, and
earnestness of the demonstration cannot but
that equal suffrage has come to stay and that it
deserves a hearty welcome. Art, science industry,
have welcomed equal suffrage. Government lags in

power.to do good
1t is universal movement, as the pageant will
show There will he features illustrating the progress
already made, not only in Europe but on the other
side of the world. Home features will show how,
up to 1910, only four States had granted full
suffrage but that since then FIVE more States have
opened their eyes to womens helpfulness in civil
government; ard means should also be found to
demonstrate the fact that since the beginning of this
year four legislatures have paved the way to submit
the question to the voters.

CASTRO ONCE AGAIN.

Gen. Cipriano Castro is received in Cuba as a
hero One of the reasons is that the United States
immigration authorities made determined effort to
keep him out of this country, that Castro laid siege
to them, and won.
In Latn-American eyes the little dictator appears
as man who has tanned the Lion of the NORTH In
the present attitude of Latin-American sentiment
toward the United States that is enough to COM
mend a man almost anywhere south of the Rio
Grande.
If Castro has come to this continent with any
thought of making trouble his capacity to do it has
been vastly increased because of the illadvised and
futile effort to make martyr of him.

COURAGEOUS CITY EXECUTIVES.

A first step in making any progress toward get
ting rid of the outrageous conditions which exist in
the governments of some American cities is to
recognize them. Mayors Blankenburg of Philadel-
phia and Hunt, of Cincinnati talked plainly on this
subject at a recent dinner of the Economic Club in
New York.
The Philadelphia mayor declared that up to a
snort time ago the police of that city were the
guardians of political interests and the instruments
of political BOSSES Now, he believes, they have
been taken out of politics.
Mayor Hunt said ironically that there was no
police problem in connection with vice in Cincin-
matt under the old ring, recently dethroned The
police let the question alone under orders from the
bosses, who took all the graft for themselves.
1t is indicative of the progress of municipal
reform that two of worst ringridden cities seem
to be in fair way to permanent improvement

A NEW NAVAL POLICY.

II is as well to look the facts about our navy
squarely in the face.
The United States is out of the naval running.
1t is cutting in half its battleship building program.
There is every reason to believe that the onebatte-
ship-a-year limitation will persist indefinitely.
Year after year, even when the Republicans were
strongly entrenched in both houses and when Roose-
vet fought hard for the navy, it was only by the
closest scratches that the two-ship program
ried on.
Since the Democrats came into control of the
House, the limit has been cut to one dreadnought.
Last year it was one; this year it will in all proba-
bility be one; and with Democratic control, after
March A. in every branch of the Government, it is
quite impossible to nope for a change back to the
two-ship program.
This means that for four years more, at least
making six years in all-this Government will take
a back seat among the naval powers The second
place which We boasted the seas will give way to
third and fourth, in that period 1t will be nearly
impossible for us to regain our former prestige, if
we ever desire
These are facts for Americans to ponder They
need to be thought of in patriotic, not partisan
way The rise of our navy-and with it of our in
ternatonal prestige after the Spanish war one
Of the very big facts in world affairs. For con-
siderable time now, we have permitted Germany to
expand her fleet much faster than our own has
grown. Japan, with our program as now reduced,
will gain ground steadily while construction
will hardly be sufficient to make up for depreciation
the Panama canal is on the verge of opening.
The situation in Mexico is pregnant with possibilities
of complication. The east is always menace to us.
Altogether, there could hardly be imagined less
suspicious time TO inaugurate lttle-navy policy.
And so we are doing it.

will work we'll and what badly upon so delicate an
organism as the world of finance; and when the
experts are all interested persons, it is hard to take
their opinions at face value. Nevertheless, it is just
sucn a matter as this in which the experts advice
is most to be sought and most trustworthy 1t IS
distinctly to their own interest not to have their
vocation dscredted by promoters of fake enterprises
and the publics protection, properly worked out in
plan, becomes their own protection.
