Is Suffrage Making Headway?

THE voters of Maine have rejected women's
suffrage by a two-to-one vote. New York
has twice turned it down within two years.
Maryland has voted against 1t. Twenty
States have refused to grant 1t within five
years Twice Congress has failed to pass a
resolution submitting an amendment to the
Federal Constitution forcing suffrage upon
the whole country.
These facts indicate that the suffrage CAM
paign has halted. It has not been aban-
doned, of course, but it is quite evident that
the country is not now prepared to add
10000. 900 more voters to the electorate.
Some day this may come. But it will not
come-if 1t ever comes-until after peace
has been established and after the country
has again turned its attention to purely do
nestle reforms. The two suffrage camps
are bitterly blaming each other for their sue
cessive defeats. The National Womans Suf-
frage Association directly charges the
Womans party with creating revolt upon
tho part OF the people toward the enfranchise-
ment OF the women. They insist that the
silly picketing Of the White House and the
childish antics of the Congressional Union
have put the movement back five years
Some of this may be true, but 1t Ia hardly
! to be accepted at its face value The pickets
have irrtated the government and have
aroused the resentment of many members of
Congress who were inclined 10 feel friendly
toward the Federal amendment, but It Is TO
be doubted If the performances in Washing
ton have been responsible for the avalanche
OF votes cast against suffrage in Maine.
The Woman's party leaders declare that
the action OF the national association in
forcing these State fights is the greatest
blunder that could be committed They take
the position that the fight can only be won
in Washington; that Congress Is the center
OF the conflict; that it Is worse than folly
to continue driving in the individual States.
| and that the national association Is dana gin p
the cause by its campaign. Once State
votes against suffrage, it is held the repre-
sentatives OF that State in Congress have a
pretext for opposing the amendment on the
ground that their people have given them
instructions. If the women are to win
against the male electorate, they must first
win against each other

cat least one feature OF encouragement in
the present international situation is the
growing cordiality between the United States
and Mexico. Since German perfidy and
Doodle were not adequate to effecting an
estrangement, we may reasonably hope that
the danger OF such a rupture has passed.
The Mexican embassy at Washington pre-
diets order throughout their country within
six months, and this will remove the only
cIbud that has hung over our relations with
thai country.

sort OF travelling and seeing things at first

to see the battle fields, to come into direct
touch with the American and other armies
and to meet personally the men in the gov
