The President and Suffrage.

President Wilson's response to the
memorial of the French Union for
Woman Suffrage is an emphatic decla-
ration for the recognition of the right
Of women to the suffrage, not only the
women Of America, for whom he has
heretofore spoken, but those of all
lands in which the principle of self
determination is now or is to be here.
after established.
This is an important pronouncement,
not merely for its effect upon the i'm
mediate cause at issue here, but for
the bearing it will have upon the re-
adjustments in progress and later to
be undertaken in the political relations
Of men and women throughout the
world. 1t urges equality in political
rights between men and women in
terms which, though brief, cannot be
mistaken.
In its immediate bearing upon the
american situation the Presidents
declaration is specific and should have
effect. This Senate now has before it
a constitutional amendment admitting
women to the franchise. 1t has been
adopted by the House and awaits only
the action Of the Senate to complete
the process of submission to the states.
1t is understood that the Senate stands
closely divided on this question, on
the two-thirds basis. Recently an ef-
fort to proceed to vote disclosed that
the necessary two-thirds was lacking
by very slight margin. Subsequently,
It is understood, progress has been
made toward the goal. The President
not cnly urges disposition Of the mat
ter, but the adoption Of the amend
ment. His words should have influ-
ence. They should certainly result in
a vote before adjournment.

talist shows it. The wage-earner shows
it. The farmer is showing it. He is
simply in the fashion.
How far this movement can be car
ried in an old state like New York is
a question. Populism in its day did
not flourish there. Unlike the farmers
of the west, near west and northwest,
the farmers of the east never suffered
from grasshoppers or starvation low
prices for their products. In the most
depressing times, they managed to live
comfortably, and to keep mortgages at
a distance. So that this farmers move
ment, distinctly so-called, is novelty
in Empire state politics. 1t will have
to be studied.

Our Flag.

This day, devoted to the celebration
Of the birth Of the American flag, &C.
quires significance this year never
before known. The flag is now the
symbol of responsibility which the
American people have not heretofore
borne. We have entered upon the
world war, as champions Of human
rights and liberties. We are now in
the thick Of the affray, our men bat
/ Ting the enemy, holding him back at
vital points, maintaining the highest
traditions Of American manhood and
spirit. Our flag floats over the front,
Its glory undimmed by the dust and
smoke of battle, its honor unstained
by any act. 1t is the symbol in the
fight for all that is pure in thought
and deed. If ever a people went to
battle for an ideal, to maintain a high
principle, it is in this instance. If
ever q flag stood for righteousness Of
purpose in war it is our flag in this
conflict.
1t is with especial reverence, there
fore, that the people of this country
today pause to pay tribute to the flag.
They know that it is guiding the men
IN Europe, inspiring them to their ut
most endeavors. It is holding them
to the high ideals for which they are
fighting. And to us at homo, who are
held from the front line by response
bilities and duties and by the advance
Of years, the flag should mean more
than ever a token Of citizenship and
a symbol of high principle. Let every
American today vow to respect and
homer the flag itself, as significant Of
the most priceless possession of man.
