THE OPEN FORUM

Any wholesome thing that tends
to get us Americans out of our group
isolation or clannishness is a good
thing for US individually and use
full contribution to the common
wealth. That we should be kept
apart to some extent is inevitable.
We divide politically, and it is right
as well as in the nature of things that
we should do so. We are broken up
into many religious bodies, and there
is no question that this has had the
effect of stimulating thought, enlarg-
ing our field of vision and helping us
along toward the liberty we believe
to be right of man. We are sep
arated to some extent by racial lines
of cleavage, and while dangers Turk
in an over-emphasis of original ma
tionality, 1t is more than likely that
the long keeping alive of Old World
associations, traditions and idioms
during the slow process of assimila-
ton is enriching and broadening us.
But after all there ought to be
large areas of common ground upon
The Liberal democrat. [volume] (Liberal, Kan.) 1911-1924, 1916-12-22

which all OF us can meet and fratern-
ize. We are Americans, want to
know Americas needs and problems,
need to know what America is doing
or failing to do, and any good thing
which enables US to break out from
our class barriers and mingle freely,
swap ideas and get acquainted with
each other is useful. And this, we
take it, is one Of the best things
about the Open Forum.
The American commonwealth was
born out of the public meetings in
which the common people were
trained in the principles of free gov
eminent. Years Of free exchange of
political ideas produced currents OF
thought which, expressed in deed,
gave us liberty, constitution, and an
ordered and sound government. But
there is much to be done yet, and the
time has not passed for the creating
and directing of thought currents.
There are many agencies for the ex-
change of ideas, but none too many,
and the Open Forum, free, nonpo-
litical. nonreligious meeting place
for men and women of every con-
ceiyable intellectual tendency, is
serving the useful purpose of stimu-
lating curiosity, inviting questions,
encouraging research, and setting
men in the way of reaching definite
concerning matters Of
first rate consequence to the indi-
vidual and the state.-Manchester

DIR. SHAW HITS sUFFRAGIsTs

The action of the Congressional
Union, or militant branch of suffrage,
In endeavoring to heckle President
Wilson, while reading his speech to
Congress, drew a sharp fire Of con-
domination at Harrisburg, Pa, from
high national and state suffrage lead
ers identified with the National
American Woman Suffrage Associa-
ton, the conservative body.
DIR. Anna Howard Shaw, honorary
national president, for practically the
first time openly voiced criticism Of
the methods of the Congressional
Union.
The officers held that 1t was time
to make plain that the national or
ganization does not approve such
methods, Doctor Shaw objecting par
ticularly to the Congressional Union
lists having used banner OF yellow,
the color of the National American
Suffrage Association, pointing out
that this is not their own color, and
its use was misrepresentation.
GAS the national organization and
its elected officials have said repeat
edly," Doctor Shaw said, suffrage
never has been obtained and never
can be obtained by women unless aid
ed by the men Of both parties. This
naturally means that any suffrage or
ganization, to carry its cause to sue
cessful conclusion, must proceed, ev-
er and always, upon non--partisan
lines. We must always regret the in
PRODUCTION of the English heckling
methods in the United States, and re-
greet also that any organization led
by a woman trained in the English
camp will continue to place in the
hands of the cloaked force opposed
to suffrage so much ammunition. =
