THE MAJORITY

THE majority are bad" said one Of the wise men
OF Greece: but he was pagan Much to the same
effect, however, is the famous sentence Of the New
Testament: MANY are called. few chosen" This
appears hard saying; frequent are the endeavors
to elude It, to alternate its severity. But turn it
how you will, manipulate it as you win, the few, as
Cardinal Newman well says, can never mean the
many. Perhaps you will say that the majority is,
sometimes, good; that its impulses. are good gen
orally. and it's action is good occasionally Yes but
1t lacks principle. it lacks persistence il today its
good impulses prevail. they succunab tomorrow;
sometimes it goes right but it is very apt to 60
wrong.-Matthew Arnold

FRIDAY MORNING. FEBRUARY % 1917.
STILL THEY COME.

Yesterday the governor of Indiana signed the bin
that gives the women of that state the right to vote
for all officials not specifically provided for in the
constitution of the state. Full emancipation OF the
women. so as to include the offices provided for in
the constitution itself only come through an
amendment to the present constitution.
AS the present legislature in that state has al
ready taken the necessary steps to call new con-
st!tutonal convention. it is only a question Of
few months before full equal suffrage will prevail
in the Hoosier state.
Under the law passed yesterday the women can
now vote for president senators. congressman and
many Of the state and county officials and with this
power already in their hands. nothing stop the
movement for full suffrage
The Indiana law. like the recently passed in
South Dakota, is patterned after the Illinois act of
two years ago, which led the way for the partial
cnfranchisement of women, without the submission
of amendments to present constitutions.
AS a further indication of the trend OF the times
everywhere toward fuller democracy is the action
of the Maine legislature, which yesterday also
passed joint resolution which signed by the
governor, submitting constitutional amendment to
be voted on next September, granting equal suf-
frage in that state.
In the Ohio legislature a bill, similar to the In
diana law has also passed the lower house and
will probably become law before the present leg
slature adjourns.
With one third of the states now granting equal
suffrage, nothing stop the movement until the
of the entire nation enfranchsed.
Ten years from this time we will all be wonder
ing why such furore was raised against the propo-
siton that the face of it evidently just and
equitable.

MINERS GO BACK TO WORK
Special Commission Settles Labor
Troubles Which Have Disrupted
Copper Industry.
IBy Associated Pressl


WASHINGTON. October 23.-Prosi-
dent Wilson'S special labor investigat-
ing com mission reported to-day a
settlement OF the strike of more than
5000 copper miners In the Globe Miami
district OF Arizona on basis which
promises to set precedent for COM
posing labor disputes elsewhere.
BY providing for resumption Of work
Immediately, the commission paved the
way for arbitrating other Arizona
copper mine strikes, which have caused
loss OF many million pounds Of war
metal In the last four months. and re-
suited in depCrtations of strikers and
other disorders.
The commission, headed by Secretary
wilson. is expected TO press for settle
ment OF many other Industrial con.
troversies during It's Western tour, of
which the Arizona agreement is the
first fruit.
Acting on the principle that the
prime necessity was to resume active
production for war purposes. the COM
mission induced managers of the Old
Dominion. Miami, Inspiration and In
ternationai Smelter miner and union
leaders to agree to formation of
grievance committees of workers for
each mine. Since union organizations
arc TO be represented on these com
nittses. the agreement was INTERPRETED
AS virtually amounting to union recor-
milton by the employers, one of the
principal issues involved in the strike
Another important principle put into
erect Is the cooperation Of EMPLOYERS
in distributing the insufficient labor
supply TO the mines most needing men.
