overstcpping tho Bounds of propriety

DY appearing before the Senate to urge tho
- passage OF the woman suffrage Federal
amendment resolution, the President has sub
jected himself to the legitimate criticism OF
having oversteppcd the bounds Of ofilciai
propriety in an effort to force the executive
will upon coordinate department OF gov
ernment in matter which vitality upsets tho
whole plan upon which the Union was formed,
and from which it derives its maximum Of
strength to perpctuutc its existence.
AS commandcr-n-chicf of the army and
navy, engaged in great war. there is no
additional power which the President might
ask as necessary to the successful prosecution
OF tho struggle the people would withhold
from him during the emergency which de-
maads it, but when he assumes, by virtue
OF his position, the right 10 influence action
on a policy, based on assumed condition
whose gravity, as he views it, is contested,
that proposes permanently to undermine the
basic structure Of our government by rcmov-
ing from it the foundation stone upon which
rests its greatest weight the right OF the
States to regulate their own franchse-he
uses the power Of his position in manner
that is open to challenge, both with regard
to the proprety of such interference and the
wisdom Of the policy which he seeks to force
upon the country against the Judgment Of
Senators sworn to uphold the fundamental
rights of the States they represent.
The Presidents argument that no disput-
able principle is involved in the question Of
suffrage, which the amendment proposes to
determine by Federal authority, but only
question OF tho method by which the suffrage
is TO be extended to women, strangely enough.
for one OF his depth OF thought and sound
ness OF reasoning, ignores the essential fact,
or at least mnimizes it, that in the method
is to be found the vital principle in whose
proposed abandonment is involved the great
est menace, regardless Of the issue Of ex-
tended suffrage itself, the republic has yet
faced in the various innovations which have
been advocated affecting the balanced powers
of State and Federal authority by which
by Federal action can be deprived against its
consent OF the right to regulate the franchise
OF its own citizens the source from which
1t derives all Of its powers to function as Il
sovereign member of the Union OF States,
from whom the grant was obtained that re-
suited in the establishment of the general
government with defined and limited powers
then the political boundaries by which the
states are differentiated on the geographical
map might as we'll be obliterated and the
farce OF maintaining separate State govern
ments be abandoned altogether. For it log
ically follows that political entity with no
control over its own franchise would be help
less in the attempted exercise of self govern
ing power, the authority for which il would
have to seek elsewhere than from its own
citizenship.

Permitting Bulgaria to Exist

the complete submission OF Bulgaria the
entente has the opportunity to show the
world the sincerity of its declarations to the
eject that 1t is not, and never has been the
purpose OF the allies to destroy any nation
with which they are now at war. These GOV
ernments are determined to destroy the mil
itarism which has plunged almost the whole
world into season Of horror and bloodshed
and anguish, but 1t is not their deternina-
ton to annihilate any nation or to enslayc
the people OF any enemy country, if the world
is TO believe their announcements Bull
Earla seems to furnish first and fair Oh
portunity for the entente to make good its
assurances.
The United States is not at war with Bull
gaTia or Turkey. The President has resisted
the terrific pressure at home and abroad for
action by this government which would make
these two powers formal enemies of Amer
Yea. Because he has resisted, this govern
ment will have no direct voice in the peace
which may be made with the Bulgarians
but II Will have an indirect voice in that
peace Just as surely as it is concluded When
it is consulted, the President will tell our
war associates that the world will expect
peace terms which will assure Bulgaria of
the night TO exist, even though it is mani
testify necessary to reduce that country to q
state OF absolute impotency from military
standpoint
This peace, IL it is actually achieved, may
thereby serve as q guarantee to the neonIe
OF Austria and those OF Germany that they.
too. may have place in the sun provided
they renounce the criminal ambitions which
have actuated their governments from the
beginning OF this war, return 10 their natural
frontiers, giving up territory they have con-
quered, and furnish the necessary Safeguards
against another war, either in the near or
remote future.
Both the German and Austrian govern
Inents have declared again and again that
they were fighting against humiliation: that
theirs was war Of defense, and their peopIo
were compelled TO make every desperate sac
rihce in order to be assured OF d right 10 live
upon the earth But these governments will
