of double suffrage being forced on
an unwilling majority" 1t is true that
even the very limited number of wom-'
en- having the school franchise do not
fully avail themselves of it, but this
neglect generally occurs where women,
have only partial suffrage and it is q
fact that when their right to full suf-l
frage is recognized they exercise it
quite as generally as do men. 1t
would take too much space to quote
in full the figures giving the proppr-
ton Of women who voted in the last
election in the twelve suffrage states,
but they show that women voters cast
this year a percentage of the total
vote which compares very favorably
with their percentage of the adult
population.
S. E. Smith is quiet correct in say
ing that the women's vote did not elect
the school board. No one can deny,
however, that the citizens ticket"
would have been defeated but for the
work of women voters, who were able
to approach the men, whose assist
ance was so necessary, as fellow Vot-
ers, not as suppliants for favors in a
matter in which they themselves had
no personal rights. 1t should be re-
membered that we had none of the
aroused public sentiment over 4 re-
cent scandal to help us this year, with
its consequent newspaper publicity,
and that the men were so preoccupied
with the presidential election and an
inordnately long ballot, THAI without
the reminders of the women they
might very well have forgotten the
schools. which, to most of them, are
a minor issue.

against general woman suffrage from

Olney for Exclusive Federal Regulation.

The statement prepared by Richard Olne,
and placed before the Newlands joint committee
on Interstate Commerce, which is investigating
the different questions raised by the wage con.
troversy, comes out squarey for exclusive fed
eral regulation. Mr.. Olney would accomplish
that purpose by national incorporation, but the
method of exercising the power need not concern
us so much as his conclusion, as follows
Nor is it to be doubtcd-because ample expe-
rience has shown-that, in this matter of ma
tional transportation by railroads, public policy
and the public welfare at one with the law
of the country. They imperatively require that
the subject be dealt with in all its phases by
single authority which can be no other than
the nation itself. The mixed jurisdiction over
the subject now prevailing-the states exercis-
ing part mostly through state charters, and
the United States part mostly through the
commerce power-is thoroughly archaic, orig
mated before the true scope OF the commerce
power was generally understood, and has re-
suited in serious waste and ineficiency in
railroad operation which is at once matter of
public notoriety and public scandal.
In view OF the settled law of the land as
respects the national commerce power-as by
virtue of it the United States practically under
takes to exercise the power tor the benefit OF
the several states and Of all the people-and
as transportation by railroad is within that
power and is today in condition most unsat-
sfactory to the private owners Of railroads
as well as seriously prejudicial to the national
interests-the question is of the remedy for
that condition
Now, this reads very like some Of The Bees
recent arguments upholding the republican plat
form pronouncement which were so violently
combatted at the time by the organs Of the oppo-
sition party. But Mr.. Olney is one Of the recog-
nized leaders in democratic councils, which may
account for the fact that these democratic news
papers had not seen anything in his views against
which to make an outcry and also that their soic-
tude for preserving the right Of the states to
beset the railroads with forty-eght different kinds
of regulations has not survived the campaign.
The Bee repeats that we are heading inevitably
to exclusive federal regulation OF railroads and the
only question is whether the country must wait
for republican rcascepdancy for it or our demo-
cratic friends seize upon it and hand it to US
without delaying that long.

One Of the big problems in criminology re-
wolves around the motive for crime. Motive
determines the legal status Of the oifense Alb
sence Of motive mystihes courts and often
obstructs the ordered routine of justice. A par
tal, if not complete, solution OF motive perplexi-
ties is promised by the discovery that bad teeth
are potential spurs to crime. Hereafter, should
ordinary methods fail, mold of the culprit's
teeth settles his fate, expedites court business and
gives dentistry secure place among exact
sciences
