There is no doubt about the serious

Washington speak with great freedom
OF their expectations. They assume
to believe that we cannot resist pay

HOLDS NO COMMISSION

Again George W. Perkins Is under
taking TO say a great deal for some
PERSONS who have not commissioned
him 10 speak He is quoted In the
press dispatches, with reference TO
the election of q vice chairman OF the
Republican National Committee. as
saving that The Progressircs did not
nroposc to be controlled by a handful
of Republican reactionaries, led by
Murray Crane. William Barnes and
others" In the Progressive party OF
which George Perkins is still All en-
rolled member. despite the fact that
that party no longer has legal exist
ence, Perkins Is himself regarded as
4 "reactonary". The slmon-pure
fanatical, devoted ProgressiYes. like
Amos Pincho,, have so dubbed him
and made strenuous efforts long since
to read Perkins out Of the organlza'
ton. It is thus evident that all par
ties have their "reactionaries.
Neither the Republicans nor the
Progressiyes are going to be led by a
handful, no matter who are IN IT.
The Republican party is going to be
led BY men who receive their commits
sion as leaders through the forms OF
law and BY the majority vote OF the
party members. Murray Crane has
such commission. He took 1t from
the hands OF the Republicans OF
Massachusetts, through vote in their
primary last spring. at'a time ~hen
Perkins and his adherents In Massa
chusetts made a contest and tried tc
defeat Mr.. Crane for delegate to the
Chicago convention. In the same way
and under the same circumstances
William Barnes lost his National
Committee membership in New York;
and We do not understand that he has
since tried 10 lead George Perkins OF
any other Progressive in any direc

can Executive Committee had a per
feet right to exercise the powers
which they have used in choosing

MAKING THE WOMAN PAY

| In the campaign last year ue
women who we're opposed to having
/ the right to vote extended to them,
took occasion to review the laws OF
West Virginia affecting women and
i, declared that they were satisfied with
the rights guaranteed to their sex M
der them. The extension OF the
right Of suffrage in addition, they as
serted, would be painting the lily and
gliding gold. They were willing to
trust mere man with their present
rights and future destiny. We are
not specially advised as TO the prob
able attitude Of the advocates OF
woman suffrage on the husband
rights measure recently introduced in
the West Virginia legislature. but We
are inclined to believe they will offer
no serious, objection to its passage. as
| 1t simply makes woman responsible
for his own words and relieves the
| husband Of the right" he now enjoys
of participating in any court action in
yolyed BY the wife's vocable indiscre'
ton. That is to say the women who
advocate suffrage will interpose no
protest to the passage OF such a law,
If they are logical in the position they
assumed in last years campaign for
the Constitutional amendment.
But how about those women who
violently resisted the adoption OF that
amendment and were agreed that they
would get along all right with mans
consideration OF them. The law re-
ferred to above provides that hus-
band shall not be liable for the SIAN
derous words of his wife. either
spoken or written, or the tortious acts
of the wife committed without his
participation. 1t may be little mat
. ter but. this proposed law looks like
an invasion Of that shelter the oppo-
nents OF suffrage claimed they en-
loved in fancied security. If one OF
their rights to sass and SANDER is
taken away by mere man." may
not other rights be attacked. Is 1t the
beginning OF the end, or is this pro-
posed Jaw simply the expression OF
some one who has suffered from a
contentious wife with a slanderous
tongue?
