ANOTHER SUFFRAGE VICTORY.

HREE years ago last November an equal suffrage
amendment to the Pennsylvania Aate constitution
failed Of adoption at the polls by small margin If it
had been possible to keep the political crooks Of all parties
south Of Broad street in Philadelphia and in of the
other large cities honest would have been ratified But
stage Of the long and times dramatic fight leading
up that point-in Pennsylvania constitutional amend
ment resolution must pass two sessions of the legislature
before 1t is submitted to the votersdd the measure have
much more than bare majority in either house Of the
state law making body. Two years ago resolution 10
submit was decisivey voted down.
Yesterday bill granting suffrage to women passed
the House of Representatives by vote Of III TO &C.
Those who are familiar with applied politics in the Key
stone state will see in this an indication that the opponents
Of equal suffrage there realize that the jig up 1t
will be great trial to some Of the hardshells who for
years have tried TO camouaage their innate male egosm
and their disposition to oppose progress Of any kind with
biological and other equally falacious and stupid
arguments but apparently they getting ready to have
it over with as speedily as possible
Many of the women who will vote for president in No
yembe of next year will have what is known as presiden-
ta suffrage merely and may be that full equal suffrage
long way off yet in Of the states, but
power in political affairs is already here and the
politician who does not realize that has ticket straight
through to political perdiion.

Eat less of concentrated foods

Keep clean inside and out.
Relief for constipation is in
the drug store, but its proven

Walk at least a part of the
way to and from work, and keep
in the open on Sundays.
Practice deep breathing.
Do not become frightened at

of apples and 6 pears has been
produced by Henry Flater, after
years of experimenting.
The tree, declared by experts
to be one of che most exceptional
horticultural wonders ever pro-
duced, was the last of the
famous Vance orchard. When
Flater went to work on it the
trunk was decayed in a ndmber
of places. Limbs were dead and
farmers declared it would never
yield again.
Filling the holes with cement
and bracing the broken limbs
with chains, FIater grated on a

WHAT UNfAlRNESS BROUGHT.

A sense of fairness would have
served almost as well as a genius
for craftsmanship in saving the
Republican majority in Congress
from the difficulties with which
they are confronted in finding a
means of reducing taxation with
out at the same time impairing
revenues. Had they co-operated
with the last Democratic Con-
gress in anticipating some of the
problems that were foreseen as a
consequence of the war, they
would have escaped at once the
duty of formulating and passing
this legislation and the response
bility for it's failure, if it proved
inadequate or unwise. They
would have begun the work Of
the extra session with at least
temporary relief from fiscal bur
dens and would have had time
and opportunity to devise and
enact suitable measure.
But Republican leaders in the
Senate-and they controlled also
the leadership of the House of
Representatives. e iberately
planned and executed the defeat
of the Democratic bills which
contemplated abolition of the
so-called luxury taxes, through
this involved a breach Of faith
with their Democratic associates.
This defeat was accomplished bv
a fillibuster in the closing days
of the last Congress.
A spirit of fairness would have
restrained these Republican par
tisans from seeking political ad-
vantage in any question so i'm.
portant as that of the country's
finances. A regard for their
word--plighted in behalf Of the
prompt passage of the repeal of
the luxury taXes-Would have
profted them and the Govern
ment. But, having refused to
be fair they were unable to be
clever.
These leaders now find them
selves in a quandary. They
have let appropriations outrun
income by some two billions of
dollars, and if the luxury taxes
are repealed and no equally pro-
ductive sources of revenue are
provided, this excess of expendi-
lures over receipts will grow
larger. They sought credit for
repeating these excuses in the
extra session, and this design
prompted them to prevent. their
abolition by the Democrats in the
regular session. They hoped to
acquire a chance for glory.
They have inherited only a
cause Of embarrassment.
