Washington was disappointed because
the fourteen opportunities were not all
closed by Christmas day, but inasmuch
as the sums are asked for the calendar
year there will be no real lapse if the
full amount is pledged by New Year
morning. Only small sum now remains
to be given. and each day since Christmas
has diminished the deficit, so that there
is every reason to believe that the full
sum will be in hand by the end of the
year.
Many a one feels the inclination to
give to a fund of this kind but procras-
tinates Il will do it if it is necessary,
but meanwhile somebody else is sure
to come along with funds is the aver

these typical cases are not commonplace.

The responsibility for their Gaze has
been assumed by the Associated Chart

the means to discharge this obligation.
1t is up to the individual to give, and TO
give promptly and ungrudgingly and

the opportunity is presented
Washington should keep its record
clear in this matter and insure the full

With stroke so true and steady.
Relentlessly you take the field
With monster weapons ready.
The hour glass you have thrown away.
Now weary years You measure

As fade mems lives and treasure.

Illinois Banner Vote.

Woman suffraglsts will point with en-
recent presidential election in the vari-
Gus states, noting there an argument for
the cnfranchisemcnt of women by such
states as New York and Pennsylvania
Illinois, which has granted presidential
suffrage to women, has taken first place
in the roll of states in the volume of votes
east, going ahead of both the Empire and
the keystone states, though the latter
have larger populations. The total vote
cast in Illinois in November for the two
leading candidates was 2,l02,397, while
the total vote east in New York for
them was ,632 $50, or 470007 less votes
east in New York than in Illinois. The
increase in the New York vote over four
years ago was only 13l 466, while the
gain in Illinois was l,05725S. The total
vote east in Pennsylvania in November
was l,22jJ1s, or s76,s79 less than the
vote east in Illinois.
While nothing is gained in electoral
power by Illinois by this accession of
supremacy in the matter of the volume
of the vote, the fact cannot fail to give
great satisfaction to the people of that
state and cause some chagrin to those
! of the larger states which have been in

The Resolutions.

About those resolutions that are to he
taken on the New Year. every one must
give some consideration. Not that it
matters much whether good resolves are
made ON New Year day or any other
day. The important point about the
ease is that good resolution. a pledge
to do better, should be kept faithfully.

voting numbers outstripped As long
as the electoral votes cast by state are
determined on the basis of population,
however, there is no particular incen
tive to enlarge the scope of the suffrage
| in order to increase the volume of votes
east. Thus Illinois by its gain in votes
through act of legislature does not make
a corresponding gain in political power
If the Constitution of the United States
were changed so that the President were
elected by nationwide popular vote this
numerical supremacy of Illinois would
place it in a commanding position as
against New York and Pennsylvania.
Under the present system, so long as
a state has acquired a certain electoral
strength by virtue of its population it
has nothing to lose by idiminuti6n of
the vote east by its inhabitants Thus
throughout the southern states where !;
single party dominates. votes are east
for President wholly Isproportionate to
the population without affect 'ng the
electoral votes.
Notwithstanding the lack of political
significance the suffragists will doubtless
make good use of the Illinois figures and
of other showings from the electoral re-
turns in their campaign for suffrage by
state amendments or by national amend
ment. They will probably appeal to the
sentiment of the people of New York by
pointing to Illinois rise to numerical
supremacy of nearly half a million more
votes than New York, though it has a
population of nearly three and half
million less.

New Jersey.

Verify is politics an industry in
America. No sooner is one campaign
over than another begins For an in
stance, in New Jersey talk is already
heard about the senatorial race scheduled
for 1918
1t is assumed that Mr.. Hughes Will
offer for reelection. If he should. he
will probably have the support of the
national administration. He is on good
terms with the President As to what
that support will amount to depends If
the President begins his new term aus
piciously and strengthens himself in of
fee, his support in 1918 of any candi-
date should be valuable. On the other
hand, if he trips and begins to founder
It will be worth little.
Mr. MARITIME, in the recent contest,
lost, partly as the result of the Presi-
dents disfavor. II was the opinion at
the White House that the senator had
not been a good Indian. Hence. that
decision, coupled with the drift in the
state to the republicans, made the Mar
tine candidacy losing proposition from
the outset; and the vote against the
senator, as against the President, was
heavy.
Mr. Hughes as senator has steered a
course TO the Presidents liking. He is
q democrat after the Presidents own
heart He has voted for all the meas
ares recommended by the President.
And so he reads his title clear to the
Presidents favor.
As New Jersey is a manufacturing
state and protection is strong there, Mr..
Hughes may have to explain his support
of the Underwood tariff measure while
It was in process of enactment into law,
