Women and the
State Constitution

An effort is now making to have
women seated as delegates to the
New York constitutional convention,
which will assemble In 1915 to revise
the constitution Of that state. The
argument SO far proceeds by showing
In detail that there is no legal OBJ
lection to the nomination and cleo
ton Of women either as delegates-at-
large or as delegates representing a
senate district" This Is probably
very true, but It Is not very import
ant. The broad facts are that the
state constitution is the fundamental
law for the great body OF our rights
and procedures Is proved by the
merest glance at such matters as the
family, prpaty and taxation, police,
poor relief, health, education, and
others. Women are vitality and per-
s0nally interested in these matters as
individuals, and all are taking q very
active part In many OF these lines of
administration. A state constitu-
tional convention which did not enlist
the experience and knowledge of the
women now employed In education.
poor relief. correction, immigration
and labor regulation. and 90 on, would
be foolishly lop-sided body. The le-
gal fact OF eligibility Is preliminary
question only. AS Bryce has truly
said:
Law was meant to be the SER
want OF politics, and must not be
suffered to become the master.
The important thing IL to make the
proposed constitutional convention
truly representative of the forces of
the state. More progressive commun-
tiles viii watch New York with some
interest to see II that state knows
what 10 really going on within its
borders. II 1t does, women will help
in the work Of revising the constitu-
ton. &C Golfers.

ton. 60 back to what il known as the
London declaration" International
law, II there Is any International law,
was formulated in that document.
The London declaration was the re-
suit of meeting In London In 1909
OF practically all the powers now en-
gagged In war. At the conference
there was full discussion as to
what was then regarded az the inter
national law on all vital problems af-
fecting warning nations. The confer
ence did not pretend to initiate any
new law nor TO even agree on what
should be future law. II announced
At the outset and stated at its con-
clusion that the results were q codih-
cation OF things on which the civil
lied (so-called) nations Of the world
are agreed.
As to wheat and food products It il
stated In the London declaration that
these articles when destined for war
base Is contraband OF war. Whether
wheat for the people Of country en-
gagged In war. but not consigned to q
war base, Is contraband Is left an
open question. A ship arriving In q

To what extent clothing Is contra

when the clothing is not consigned d.
rectly to a base of military operations
or to contractor dealing with the

A very important question on which
the London declaration Is not silent
Is that as to ships which II Is pro
posed to place under q neutral flag
It is violation of neutrality, accord,

were.
Belgium military engineers have
been constructing defenses along the
Meuse river. centering at Liege, for 10
years. but Germany thought they
would not be OF great value because
the men behind the defenses wouldn't
fight.
This mistake has lost Germany the
initial advantage OF first victory In
the war. The Belgians, regarded In
Berlin as inferior to Frenchmen, have
shown that the plying proclamation
OF General Won Emmich. urging them
In their own interests not to fight, was

In order TO secure the exemption OF

ditions would now permit the ships
to enter the American register and

This Is a serious stumbling block
to the proposed amendment to our

hoped that the way could be opened
for purchase by American capitalists
OF unlimited foreign ships to carry

The London declaration came be-
fore the United States senate as q

Germany intends evidently to tear
up the London declaration and all

invaded Luxembourg neutral territory,
and second when the German forces
invaded France without formal dec
