President, Speaker and Suffrage.

The suffragists were pleased with Speaker Clark's
reply to their appeal and disappointed if not cha
grined by the Presidents reply the question
The position taken by the President was, however
substantially the that taken by the Speaker
Mr.. Clark said he favored suffrage for women and
when that question submitted in Missouri he
would support it. President Wilson said 1T is my
conviction that this is matter for settlement by the
States and not by the Federal government" Both
men are State rights Democrats and both stand on
the Baltimore platform which denounced as usur-
raton the efforts deprive the States of any of the
rights reserved to them and to enlarge and magnify
by ndirection the powers of the Federal government
That doctrine is as old as the Democratic party
The President believes in the rights of the minor
ty; and in amending the Constitution the real ma
ority of the people may be the ineffective minority OF
the States There are twelve States in the Union
which have a majority of the whole people None of
them has suffrage. They could grant it if
they would but they might to have that re-
form forced upon them. The majority of the women
in those States might object but their objection would
be OF no avail if Congress submitted an amendment
to the Federal Constitution to the State legislatures
and three-fourths of them ratified it Then we would
have suffrage forced upon the majority of the
people and perhaps majority of the women who did
ask for it and did not want it. for majority of
the of the United States residents of the
twelve States
The ladies are making a gallant fight but they have
no justification for being pleased with the Speakers
promise to support suffrage in Missouri and dis
satisfied with the Presidents expressed opinion that
suffrage is a right to be granted by the States They
both referred the question to the States rather than
have it conferred by an amendment to the Federal

When Lincoln Made His Famous
Cooper Union Speech.

The late Cephas Brainerd. who was for
many years one Of the leaders Of the New
York bar and who died in 1910 in his
eightieth year, associated ofhciaIly with
the Young Republican organization OF
New York State in the early days Of the
party. 1t was largely due to sugges-
ton OF Mr. Brainard that Abraham Lin
coin was invited to deliver an address to
the Young Republicans in February, 1850.
II had been made known to the organiza-
ton that Mr.. Lincoln purposed a visit to
the East so that he might spend a day or
two with his son. Robert T. Lincoln. who
was then a student at Harvard.
In view of the great reputation which
Lincoln had gained in the West as a Re-
publican leader, not merely in a purely
political sense, but a leader OF thought
and an exponent Of the principles which
were representative of the Republican
organization, II was believed to be an eK-
cellent plan TO invite Mr.. Lincoln to ad-
dress the Young Republicans Of the East
He accepted the invitation. and Cephas
Brainard was named as chairman OF the
reception committee, and il was he who
arranged all the details of the occasion
ana secured Cooper Union. then one OF
the largest halls in New York, as the
place for the address.
Nearly forty years later IL was my priv
ilege TO learn from Mr.. Brainard in some
detail how the address. which has passed
into history as the Cooper Union address,
was received. by those who assembled in
that great hall TO hear Lincoln.
II sat In a place where II was easy for
me to watch the expression upon the
faces OF some of the distinguished men
OF New York, some of whom were num-
bered among the greatest intellectual
forces In the United States at that time.
as they sat listening to Mr.. Lincoln" said
Mr.. Brainard.
1T seemed to me that, just as Lincoln
began. the attitude Of many OF these men
was not exactly critical, but that OF sus-
pense. think none OF them had ever
heard Lincoln. The common impression
in New York was that he was a splendid
type Of prairie lawyer and that he was
a master Of the art of public speaking In
the open-that is TO say. in groves. or in
parks.

Honorary Degrees.

The 1914 harvest of honorary degrees has been
about as abundant usual The larger universities
have bestowed their honorS on men of national or
international prominence while lesser men have been
honored by lesser colleges. 1t is pleasant and harm
less pastime.
The chief objection that the titles are altogether
meaningless The degree OF IL. D. is universally
by an American university 1t is given with naive
disregard of whether or not its recipient has any
knowledge of law. The may be said of Oxford
d. c. l., which has been handed to American Am
bassador Page. The degree of doctor of laws or
doctor of common law held by men who have never
made study of law is sufficiently ncongruous.-

There seems now TO be serious obstacle to the
passage of the District appropriation bill The peo-
pie of Washington have been principally interested in
the elimination of Section and the Borland amend
rneut TO the House bill, both of which were en-
phatcally rejected by the Senate. The House con-
ferees, who at first insisted restoring these two
provisions, have been quick to recognize the futiy
of such insstence since the House District Committee
has committed itself to complete investigation OF
the relations of the Federal and District governments
by special commission, work which the Borland
amendment and Section would tend to confuse and
make more difficult

dicated clearly to me that these men had

themselves in listening intently to the

more remarkable because Lincoln made
use Of no gestures and seemed to be ut
