Whether you like it or not, it
seems certain that woman suffrage
by federal amendment will be enact
ed. The house passed the amendment
some time ago, and last week the
senate followed suit. Now the amend
ment goes to the States for ratifica-
ton, and if three-fourths of heStates
act favorably on the amendment it
becomes federal law. President
Wilson was strongly in favor of the
amendment and doubtless contribut-
ed largely to the passage of the act.
We do not consider it wise to enact
woman suffrage by federal amend
ment, but Mr.. Wilson's attitude
shows again the bigness of the man.
After the haranguing he has received
from certain of the violent suffra-
gettes, it certainly required a
strength of character everybody does
not possess to still persist in the pas
sage of the suffrage act. TO our
mind the matter should be left to
the individual States, and we sincere
ly trust that sufficient number of
States will act unfavorably and kill
the amendment. Suffrage should not
be saddled on South Carolina if
South Carolina does not want it, and
it is nothing more than idle talk to
argue that a majority of South Caro-
lima women want the ballot or will
use it if given them. Politics is not
a part of the makeup of South Caro-
lima women. So far as we are con-
cerned, the women of South Carolina
can have anything they want. But
not even a considerable number eth
er want or will have the ballot.

Bobs Imitation Of his former con-
dition OF shell shock proved easy
for time-because Certeis and Don
Manuel were seldom at the hacienda.
We soon knew the reason for their
absence. Bob had a fine knowledge
OF Spanish. Part Of his scheme was
to pretend to very limited familiar
ity with that language.
This ignorance combined with his
reputation as harmless lunatic, en-

Bob's tongue was fluent in many Ian
guages, but like many another clever

important crisis OF his career. Or

his own power and so sure Of his prey
that he ceased 20 worry about minor
details?

Tense of Mexico against foreign rep.
resentation, particularly from the
United States, regarding the lives OF
foreigners and their property, was
contained in message of President
Venustiano CarranZa, read at the
opening session of Congress Monday
night.
Particular reference was made in
the message to alleged injustices
practiced against Mexicans in the
United States.
A long list of the alleged offenses
was given under the section of the
address devoted to foreign relations
The message also defended Mex.
ico's neutrality during the World
War and protested against charges
that the Mexican Government was
incapable and unwilling to protect
foreign lives and property.
In the message President Carranza
asserted that Mexico did not ask for
admission to the League of Nations
because, he said, the League did not
establish equality for all nations and
races.
He reiterated that Mexico had not
and would not, recognize the Monroe
doctrine
Regarding oil legislation, the mes
sage said the Government was will
