SUFFRAGE AND
MOTHERS DAY

Leading editorial ir The DAYTON News,
Gov. Cox's paper, May 81
It is probable that the Senate will vote
uext Friday on the Federal amendment
to extend suffrage to women. There still
is some doubt concerning the fate of the
measure. The suffragists are hopeful,
but it appears that they lack one vote to
insure victory for their cause. Let us
suppose that the necessary vote is lack
ing when the roll is called and that it
shall become necessary on that account
to make it known to the other civilized
nations that the United States continues
to deny citizenship to its women. Is it
possible to believe that the senator upon
whom responsibility for such termina-
tion of the contest shall rest can expect
to look back in the future and be satis-
fed with his record?
Does any senator who is opposing
woman suffrage now believe that il can
be postponed indefinitely? Perhaps
there are senators who believe sincerely
that women are not capable OF exercis-
ing the right of suffrage intelligently or
honestly. There may be senators who
regard women as inferior human beings
and who are sincere in believing that
their mothers, their wives and their sis
ters should be treated as minors. 1t is
not necessary to quarrel with such men.
They may have reasons for the belief to
which they cling.
But would it not be a glorous thing if
the United States senate were to vote on
Friday in favor of the proposed amend
ment? Next Sunday is Mothers Day.
Could we pay our mothers higher or
more tender tribute on that day than we
should pay them if we could point to the
action of the senate as indicating that at
last we had decided to regard them as
our equals mentally and morally?

.BERNE PIKE NOT
SAFE To TRAVEL
[Berne (Ind.) Witness. ]

We hope-but we doubt-that the ac-
cident Monday night will be the last
fatality to occur due to the traffic to Chat
t4nooga by the parched throats of East
ern Indiana. 1t will be the last accident
if proper steps are taken to check the
constant flow of boozers. Since all sa-
looms in Adams county have been closed
by the Statewide prohibition law, the
roads from this county to Chattanooga
have been fairly crowded with seekers
for wet goods at the Ohio village Travel
on the Berne pike is simply net safe on
some evenings, especially Saturdays.
Some day some innocents will have to
pay the penalty for some drunk's reck-
less auto driving. 1t is sad enough that
those guilty of making travel unsafe
should have to die as victims of their
weaknesses, but it would be sadder still
to have the innocent suffer. We need a
vigilance committee if nothing else can
be done 10 curtail it.
