WHAT WILL HE Start Bee

THE woman's suffrage amendment is slated 10 be
voted on in Congress January 10. How is Congress
going TO start the new year9
lot OF good Americans have been pretty well peeved
at suragist in general account of the late picket
ing Of the President by small body of women styling
themselves the National woman's Party However this
Is dead issue nowand not likely to come to life
again, leaders OF the party say
In the meantime the question Of the vote is vital
one not to few expickets exclusively but hundreds
OF thousands Of women all the United States In
cludns those in Delaware It is this larger phase Of
the situation that Congress has to consider and without
letting any small personal pque account Of the recent
unpleasantnesses at Washington Into the consd
eration It is to the women to the men, Of his own
district be 1t in Maine California that each and
every Congressman is responsible
The question OF the Federal amendment is one for
Congress TO settle Doubtless many Congressman are
now taking counsel on the subject How will they start
the new year2 Win they start 1t fearessly and un-
equvocally by voting for the amendment once and for
all Or will they qubbe It for days on end. and
then wind up by doing nohingP
The only answer that be given so far Is that
will all depend upon the and breadth Of the average
Consressmans mind. But in these days Of big things
and OF doing big things in big way can at least be
hoped reasonably that that mind has expanded and
developed sufficiently to allow of a quick ballot.
These are busy days. They call for quick action and
scant talk Advces from Washington are to the effect
that many members Of Congress heretofore opposed to
woman suffrage through Federal enactment have been
won over to the suffrage and viii vote for the
amendment. No doubt the noble work that has been
and being by the women and the recent election
in New York state have had much do with producing
such change Of front.
One thing Is certain II is that nationwide suffrage
coming. II longer is question Of whether it is
to come. but how 1t shall Those who do not
favor II may we'll reconcile themselves to that fact
though It be unpleasant one.

Postmaster-General Burleson, too. with his corps OF
