Senator ShafrOfh;S Resolution

The resolution introduced by Senator Shafroth of
Colorado for submission of a constitutional amend
ment which would force every state to submit q
constitutional amendment favOring woman suffrage
on the filing of a petition containing the signatures
of 5 per cent of the total voters at the next preceding
election is not likely to receive any more votes than
the resolution to submit a federal amendment extend
ing the franchise 10 women. 1t will be vigorously
opposed by jealous defenders of the rights of states
as an Unprecedented federal invasion. Hitherto the
federal government has never sought to provide how
a state constitution shall be amended, that being
strictly within the province of the state. .
Since the enactment Of enabling acts to permit
states to enter the Union became a practice, various
pledges have been required. Utah, Oklahoma. All.
IONA and New Mexico were required, to prohibit
~polygamy "by ordinance irrevocable" But lawyers
who discussed these requirements were of one nina
that a state might ignore or repeal these ordinances
irrevocable" and that The only thing Congress could
do would be to reject Representatives and Senators,
under the constitutional right given each house to
determine the qualifications and election of its own
members. In the Oklahoma enabling act the capital
was fixed at Guthrie until 1913. Prior to that date
the capital was removed and a citizen Of Guthrie
tested the removal in the supreme court of the Unit.
ed States. The highest tribunal held that after a
state entered the Union it had the same rights as
other states to regulate its .domezlic affairs, regard.
less of provisions of the enabling act and the states
acceptance of the same: Specific grants of rights
that vested in individuals were held an exception TO
the general rule. : + y" d .
, If Congress can propose a quick and easy way OF
amending the constitution Of a. state in one respect,
it can do so In another. The Shafroth resolution
seems to require but a majority vote, whereas some
states require more than that to alter the organic
law. Some states provide tor initiative petitions for
amending the constitutions but the percentage is
larger or a Geographical distribution Of the petition
>ers is required. II is likely that some senators who
cdAseentiously favor woman suffrage will oppose this
resolution, and it is certain that all who oppose WON.
an suffrage will be against the resolution. Should
the. resolution pass, its adoption by the several states
would require as rhueb. work as it would take to get
the states to extend Ia t~ranchise to women. About
the only practical result of the introduction of the
resolution will be the further discussion Of the SUBJ
ject of woman suffrage in the SenateSSSan end Sen.
ator Bristow sought by again introducing The resolu.
ton for a direct suffrage amendment to the federal
constitution. 'tEs.s. &" ~

Mexico and the Monroe Doctrine

AT the closing session Of the American Academy
of Political and Social Science in Philadelphia. Maj.
Gillette, formerly of the United States army, spoke
in criticism of the Presidents course toward Mexico,
and Austen G. Fox, a New York lawyer, in praise Of
the Presidents Interpretation Of the Monroe Doctrine.
The former expressed the opinion that Mr.. Wilson
would not be unwilling to. become a war hero fir,
order to- get q second term" and the latter the opin-
ion that Mr.. Wilson would rather See the Monroe
Doctrine an absolute myth than engage in war with
anyone Both opinions do Mr.. Wilson an injustice.
1t will be emembere that when Mr.. Taft ordered
troops in large numbers to Texas, some of his oppon.
ents saw a purpose on his part to start a war for
election effect. His party was in trouble on domestic
issues, and he as President facing many embarrass.
ments. What easier than for him to make interview
tion necessary, and then base his campaign for re-
election on war sentiment, which would overshadow
all, else? 49,. ~.
No such course was taken. Mr.. Taft did not inter.
vene In his own behalf; and between November,
when he was defeated on domestic issues, and March,
when Mr.. Wilson took charge, he kept things in statu
quo for his successor, so as to leave him a clear
field. MI. Taft resisted what his opponents had fear
ed, and charged, would be irresistible. !
As for the Monroe Doctrine, that comprehends
war, in that its strength lies in the power and will
ingness OF this country to express it by force of arms
II necessary. Eliminate war from the equation, and
the doctrine is a mere proclamation polite request
as Ambassador Page drolly phrased it in his London
speech. And Mr.. Wilson did not indorse that speech
as popularity interpreted at the moment, but accepted
Mr.. Pages explanation of it as an after dinner deliv-
erance sutfused with humor.
Mr.. Wilson might or might not secure a second
term as the result of a war with Mexico. Had Great
Britain accepted Mr.. Cleveland's challenge in the
Venezuelan affair and tho ~ oopo uroll with, 40
he might have had a third term in the White House
as the result. Mr.. Mckinley's second term was not
obtained, as some assert, as a reward for his conduct
Of the war with Spain. His conduct of our domestic.
affairs had been even more successful, and alone
would have carried him to victory in 1900.
: There is much vigorous criticism of Mr.. Wilson's
handling of the Mexican problem, but no reason what
ever to suspect that he is nursing it along to a point
where he can change his course and utilize it for
either party or personal advantage. His policy is
believed to be. sincere and patriotic in intent.

Do Not Annou the Fairies

Newspapers chronicle a recurrence of strife be-
tween those educators who contend that fairies are,
good for something and those who maintain that
fairies are good for nothing. A sense of regret comes
into the hearts, or perhaps the minds, Of many people
when Observation-Disclosures seek to destroy the fairies.
1t is not easy to understand what provocation the
fairies, have given these educators, but there must be
ofense somewhere. Many fairies are given to prac.
tical jokes, and perhaps some Of the frolicsome fairies
have played a prank on educators whose sense OF,
humor is defective. 1t has never been held that
fairies are the especial friends of schoolmasters.
Fairies have always been the friends and companions
OF little children. Many children would have been
lonesome without their fairies. Some of the golden.
es. hoaIs Of children are spent in %fairyland, and that
wcall ". Il dreary place without the fairies.
Some CT the best playwrights, poets, story tellers
and music authors have given to the world facts and
opinions concerning fairies, and it is hard to under
stand how a few classroom pedants can reach the
conclusion thai in the first place there are no fairies
and that IN the second place if there are fairies they
not good Tor children. = Every child knows better
than this.a The good fairies are always good to little
children, and even the bad fairies sometimes cause
little children to he good when they might incline to
be naughty.
Grown.up schoolmasters should not be accepted as
witnesses against the. fairies. Real fairies rarely
reveal themselves to grown-ups. What fun could 4
fairy have in playing with a. grown-up? Grown-ups,
when they were children, knew the fairies, but on
growing up and becoming stiff in their joins, set in
their opinions and perhaps sour in temper, they have
forgotten the fairy friends OF their youth. The fairies
are perfectly happy in fairyland,x and if the fairies
want to visit little children and have little chillren
visit them, there seems no occasion for grown-ups to
interfere. If a fairy wants to dance the tango in a
huttercup or take a plunge in a dewdrop, or hold a
grand ball in a %bflebell, or keep house in a beechnut
shell, or go JOY riding on a stray moonbeam, 1t is not
the business of grown.nps to disturb them.

The Governor

Valley City. Times:2ecord The. announcement OF
Governor l.. s. Hanna as a candidate for the office
Of governor, to succeed himself, will be a matter
of considerable interest to many who are looking
forward to the reorganization OF the business meth
DDS of the state. For the first time since statehood
the affairs. Of the: state in. the state Offices are sys'
%tematized so that 1t does not require an expert &C
countant to trace matters through the various depart
ments. Lack, of funds, has prevented the carrying
out the same, system Of uniform bookkeeping in the
state institutions, but it is the intention of the COVER
nor to finally accomplish that, also, if given another
term. North Dakota needed a man OF business abil-
ity At the head Of affairs very badly, when Mr.. Hanna
was elected, more attention had been given to poll
tics; than to affairs, 81 state and, the affairs of the
various Offices were in a lamentable condition. buL
through his efforts system has been inaugurated and,
so far as the capitol building is concerned, are in
splendid shape. This state is enjoying the most
profitable administration in the history of the state.
and the return of Mr.. Hanna to the head of the
state government is very generally conceded.

not object to his wife wearing his clothes, but he
protested against her selling them to procure money
with which to attend suffrage conventions.
