THE LADIESAS CONSTITUTIONAL
LAWYERS

If a woman, being a citizen OF a
woman suffrage State, gains the
right to vote in that State, and then
moves to a non-suffrage State, does
she have the right, under the Con-
stitution, to vote in the'State of her
new residence?
There's something to talk about in
It, anyhow. At first blush it doesn't
seem at all reasonable to assume
that California can vest its daughters
with a privilege of voting in Massa-
chusetts; but some Of the feminist
interpreters Of the Constitutional
ways an interesting document, even
when the limited intellectual precep-
lions of mere masculinity are adj
duced to its definition-think other
wise.
So in both Maryland and Massa-
chusetts women have applied for the
right to vote, on the ground that
having once been citizens In States
where they could vote, they cannot
be deprived of that privilege in an
other State. For, they argue, the
Constitution in article w, section l.
says that "full faith and credit shall
be given in each State to the public
acts, records and judicial proceedings
of every other State;' and in section
2, Of that same article, that "the
citizens of each State shall been
titled to all the privileges and i'm,
munities of citizens in the several
States"
Just what this latter quotation
means has never been made entirely
clear. There are some narrow anc
some very broad interpretations o.
it. The ladies from the bounding
Western commonwealth reckon
that it means that, having ono,
voted in Oklahoma or Washington
or Colorado, they cannot be debarrec
from voting in any other State; ant
it doesn't require a strictly feminine
mind to observe that a lawyer coult
make mighty interesting argumen
on the point.
Somehow, with all consideration
for the ladies', one leans to the no
ton that they will not gain thei
point. There are several States il
the Union, even yet, in which alien
may vote; but that has. never beel
construed to give them right to vot
in States where naturalization mus
be completed before the suffrage 1
gained. Again, the period Of resi-
dence and various other qualification
vary among the States; and it l
not assumed that State with la:
requirements cap impose them O
other States for the benefit of it
citizens. But the resourceful an
ingenious women voters at least ar
making it clear that the quality o
constitutional dialectics isn't goin
to be strained when the gentler Sc
get into the debates.

AEROPLANES FOR THE UNITED
STATES ARMY

In connection with the placing of
orders for 200 aeroplanes for the
army, there is one detail that de-
serves more attention than it will
probably get. There is a stipula-
ton that the machines are all to be
delivered within lat days; that is,
less than five months.
One of the most important .fea-
lures in the program of industrial
preparedness is speeding up produc-
ton. Government work is proverb-
tally slow, Government contractors
are always painfully leisurely.
There is no excuse for leisure when
the business in hand is preparation
for national defense. The people
who will have to turn out supplies
in case of war need to learn the
lesson of quick production, quite as
much as soldiers need to learn their
drill. One of the great lessons that
the unprepared governments of the
allies had to learn after the wal
started in Europe was that of get
! ting supplies ready in haste. 1t re-
quired a REIMBURSEMENT of industrial
q ideals and methods; and to some
though a less, extent, that readjust'
! ment must be made in this country.
Z Congress appropriated over $13,

the writer is informed, made no eff

There are enough accidents at best
