 The provisions it is true, do not enforce non-in- tercourse they only authorize the president to en- force it. If he should do promptly he would in a great measure strengthen his now weak position. But expect that strong pressure will be brought to bear prevent his approval of the revenue bill in it's form and if approved by hm the exercise of the authority conferred upon him.

The President and Equal Suffrage

The movement of members of the suffrage organizations in favor of MT. Hughes has alarmed the democratic managers and they are busy bringing testimony from to prove that President Wilson has been hostile to national suffrage. This testimony, though. is being offered by women who have been active in the of suffrage who of so little prominence that the average voter does not know whether they suffragists all
 There are of course many women who will for President Wilson; doubt there many tona suffragists who will him. placing party above this issue which the suffragist regards the greatest all issues. Within ranks of these might easily be found volunteers rush the defense the presidents position with respect to tiona suffrage
 We find in democratic campaign document a let ter from woman who says she is suffragist, ragnng her sisters upon president for forcing congress adopt the national suf- frage amendment This defender of the president has erected a woman of straw" which she would molsh by accusation of unreasonabeness She misrepresents the attitude of the suffragsts toward the president. He has not been attacked by the women because he neglected force congress to adopt the amendment, though he able force congress to do many things dstastefu to congress
 The women critics of the president have in mind
 
 amendment: that he offered no word in encourage ment of it. They have, moreover in mind the ment of the president them that while he believed in equal suffrage and looked forward eagerly to the day when women should enjoy equal rights with men, he added that he believed this to be matter to be settled by the states. each for itself Thus pres- dent being in favor only of suffrage by states made declaration against national suffrage. He not only not forced congress adopt the amendment, but he had forced" himself to ioox upon 1t with favor.
 Still ridiculous than this womans defense of the position of the president is another that we have seen in democratic paper of this It cared that the presidents plan the best and quickest; that national equal suffrage was round- about route. It gravely pointed suffrage secured by amendment the constitution of the United States would be long time the way There would first be the prolonged struggle congress over the amendment. Then would come the submission of the amendment to the states be ratified by them Thus. it shown that this process would occupy hardly less than six years.
 But suppose it should take up all that time How will it be before all any or the south states some of the northern states where the liquor traffic is strongly will grant votes to women? Little golden haired girls now will be gray haired in those states still clamoring in vain for suffrage.

Only 63144 otherwise qualified voters or the state have expressed by their registration slightest interest in the result of the primaries. That number is 120OO less than the registration of ago, though there probably 5000 more voters in the state now.
