sUFFRAGIsrs DESIRE
FULLEST DISCUSSION

In an editorial In Sunday mornings
1t liz implied that the
Suffragsts were being unfai.. to the
anti-suffragists. because there was .
report that the hearing before the
joint committee Of the Senate and
House might be extended to the even
ing.
The suffagists desire a full and free
discussion of the question and have
shown this desire in changing the date
In order that the negative might be
heard.
The original date set for suffrage
hearing was Thursday, February 3.
and at the request of the chairman
of the House Committee, who stated
that the anti-suffragists had asked for
hearing on Monday, January 81, be-
cause they wanted to take advantage
of the presence of Miss Price, Mrs.
Valentine consented TO change the
date to Monday.

several reasons for their belief that
the viii be rejected They say;
Wilson After Votes They Say.
Mr. Brandeis nomination is OBJ
viously a vote-getting eXpedient on the
part of the President.
The fact that the threat of charges
involving his professional conduct has
been made by itself gives rise to a
question as to his fitness for a posi-
ton. IN the highest legal tribunal in
the country.
Even If the charges are proved
groundless the grounds for suspicion
will remain In many minds and ma
torlty of the Senate Will not confirm
the nomination because of these
suspicious.
The resentment felt in all the States
which had candidates for the nominal
ton win surely affect the votes of
Senators from those States.
Mr. Bradels lack of judicial tenn
permanent Will become more and more
evident as the debate in the Senate Is
being fought out"
If every other reason operating
against his confirmation fails to en-
list "a majority of the Senate there
sim remains the precedent destroy
ing fact that MIR. Brandeis is a Jew.
According to Mr.. Brandeis' friends:
Even admitting the tmputation that
the nomination was made for politi-
cal reasons, it is pointed out that
similar considerations daily influence
the administration supporters.
Such opposition as petty resent
mcnt may develop may safely be ig-
nOred.
The fact that Mr. Brandeis is
branded by Wall Street as a radi-
cal Il charge which means actually
TIM ne il fired With passion for
serving the people as against the
great monopolists. is not only admit
ted. it is put forward as one of the
prime reasons why he should not be
confirmed.
1t may be legitimately pointed out
that this IL a precedent-creating age,
ana that opposition kndled by moth
ing less palatable to the public taste
than the matter OF creed is its own
destroyer.

Another comforting thought: These
departed loved ones at the coming of
the Lord are to have their glorious
resurrection bodies. The yare not
angels We are never tc be angels.
Angels are creates heavenly beings,
spirits. Thy have never known what
1t Is to have a body We have had
bodies here, we are to have redeemed
and gloritied bodies hereafter. Our
estate, when Chrst's redemptive work
Is finished, Is to be better than that
of the angels The angels are minis
tering spirits sent forth to minister to
them who shall he heirs of salvation.
Gods children are the heirs. heirs of
God and joint heirs with Christ They
are to bear Chrisrs image; they are, to
see him as he Is and to be like him,
to have, also, rs he has. a glorious
resurrection body, Our departed loved
ones, far happier now than they were
here, are thoroughly satisfied to be
where they are and as they are: and
they await. not with any impatience.
but with joy unspeakable and with
assurance objectionable, the Lords
own good time for his returning to
earth in glory and power. when to-
gether with all the holy angels and
all the glorifed saints of God they
shall share his triumph and the bless
ings of his endless reign"
