The Senate and Suffrage.

When the Senate votes on the Susan B. Anthony
amendment it will be the third time in its his
tory it has voted on the woman suffrage question.
The vote in 1884 was the 6rst and in 1914 it failed
TO secure the two-thirds necessary, though it did
secure majority of one vote.
Since that time several important States have
adopted suffrage, or, 1t is better put, enfran-
ehised women. New York, which figures in Presi-
Dental elections as a potential quantity in the
voting il now woman suffrage State.
The Presidents declaration and the feeling
among party leaders that suffrage has become a
paramount issue which neither party afford to
be wrong on is relied upon by suffrage leaders to
insure victory in the Senate as in the House.
The political expediency argument has become
rather compelling. Enough women have the vote
to make them very important factor in national
elections and nominations.
There is very general idea to be found, even
among members of Congress, that the passage OF
the Susan B. Anthony amendment makes voters OF
all the women in the United States. 1t does
nothing of the sort. All the passage of the amend
ment does is to submit the question to the States
as provided by the Constitution for the adoption of
any amendment.
The enfranchisement of women will not take
place until three-quarters of the States have ap-
proved the amendment. How long it will take to
secure the support of the States after the matter
has been submitted to them by Congressional action
is problematical but as far as this newspaper is
concerned it believes earnestly that the sooner 1t
is accomplished the better for the country.

A Secretary of Education.

In view OF the fact that the war has revealed
among the other defects and deficiencies of what
used to call civilization woeful lack of practi-
cal training in schools and colleges, the desire of
the National Educational Association to have the
Bureau OF Education raised to the rank of a de-
psrtment with its chief member of the Presidents
Cabinet has deep significance. 1t should not be
ignored lightly considered because of the many
extra burdens imposed on the government at this
time.
Education in its broadest sense must be the first
concern OF the nation from this, the most critical
hour, in its history. While awakened by the
e1gencies of war, Americans of all ages pre-

What About You7

It's easy to sit in an easy chair,
AT the close of an easy day.
And read of the battles fought and won
By your pals who have gone away.
It's easy to say well, Pm surely proud
Of and the things they do"
But answer this Have you done your best
To make them proud of your"
"Have you done your best?" that's the vital point
We can't all go to fight -
But those who are kept at home
Can help the cause that's right. ....-.
The point is, no matter how you're fixed, -.f.-.
Are you doing all you can do
To help the pals of whose deeds you're proud
And make them proud of you?
If you've got youth and health and strength,
In these dread days of need,
You should join the men who have marched away:
You should follow where they lead
If you're "a crock" why, then, strive to find
Some other way to aid,
That your pals may know when the fghtng's done
The game you also played

and that direct results of his con-
tinued mission here will be observ-
able in the land from which he
comes.
One optimistic feature. which
members appear to have forgotten
in their comment. is the fact that
Japan's willingness. yea. eagerness.
to have Ishii come here is an un-
questioned tribute to the desire Of
the rulership of the japanese en-
pire to cultivate and increase Amer
ican friendship for that country.
, American welcome to Ishii should
be in keeping. therefore. with the
he can do here.
Mr.. McCumber said several things
in the Senate which the country
may not want to heaT-but we be-
lieve, as a matter of fact, that the
majority of the people of the coun-
try do want to know the truth and
will therefore accept his statements
as true, on account OF that very
American desire.
The Bolshevik movement must be
kept from America. We are doing
aiding in preventing the growth of
this unconventional we have done
other things during the first few
months of the war that gave more
comfort to the Bolsheviki and the
Kaiser than they did to our own
pure cause.
The one thought Americans should
have just now is that it is UP to
them to keep this distastefuI propa-
ganda out of the country. Rich and
poor Americans who are true patri-
OTIS must lend their efforts to this
fight. The rich must forego some
of their profits and the poor must
bear some of the burdens they think
should be partially showed over to
the wealthy. 1t is a hard game and
long game, but 1t is worth play
ing. In fact. we've got to play with
the end in view of eradicating Boil
shevikism, or it will gnaw at our
vitals with disastrous results.
The cry for the budget system OF

l'several corners of the nation. But
none of those who have endorsed

Franklin X. Matthews, chief scout

A special effort IN this direction is
urged during the week Of March lS-S,
when a nationwide campaign will be
conducted by the library war service
committee of the American Library

Collectors are advised to forward

connection with the request, Mr.. Ma
thiews has the following to say:
Pledges OF books Of all kinds have
been sent to the camps. but what was
not foreseen at first was the demand
for boys books.
While there are no boys in our
armies. nevertheless the demand II
very strong for books Of adventure.
There are thousands who have never
read a book except their school books.
These men all ask for books that may
be read aloud and that may be easily
understood.
