The present constitution will prob
ably be ratified in this country far
more promptly and willingly than
its predecessor was, at least II it
comes before the senate with the
changes now contemplated. And it
may easily be ratified by all the ma
tions involved in a shorter time than
the American constitution required
for ratification by the 1S states then
concerned.

COUNCIL OF WOMEN

The council of women voters, re-
Gently proposed by Mrs. Carrie Chap
man Gait. at the suffrage convention
in st. Louis, has already been the
subject Of criticism in some of the
leading papers.
As read, the articles proposed do
not sound especially formidable.
The first aims to secure final en-
franchisement for women of all
countries. The second deals with
the removal of legal discrimination
against women which exists in many
states. The third proposes to make
democracy safe for the world; and
Judging by European dispatches. it
is high time that somebody did that
little thing.
The organization is to be mon
partisan body of women of all par
ties, not to promote campaign OF
candidates, but to work for meas
ures." While it will seek to better
conditions civil and industrial, for
women and children, still, Mrs. Gait
explains, 1T is in no sense body OF
reformers, and will take action as
voters and through legislation"
Directors to the idea see only a
new party, based on sex instead OF
any OF the tme-worn party plat
forms. and merely substituting "the
women against the men" for "the
republicans against the democrats. A"

CONSTITUTIONS

II the constitution of the league
of nations does have hard shedding
when it comes to formal ratification,
it will not be at all contrary to pre-
cedent. Most Americans, in their
cheerful delusion that the early af-
fairs Of the republic were conducted
with miraculous unanimity, quite
overlook the rocky road the consti-
tuition of the United States had to
travel.
That document required about as
much time to draft as the present
one is taking. 1t was finally signed
and submitted to the 1S states on
September IT, 1887. The constitu.
tional convention had agreed on it
unanimously, after long debate, but
there was no such agreement among
the sovereign states they repre-
sented.
Only three states, Delaware, Penp-
sylvania and New Jersey, ratified
the constitution in that same year.
In the following year it was ratified
by eight more. Georgia, Connecti-
cut, Massachusetts,, Maryland, South
Carolina, New Hampshire, Virginia
and New York. North Carolina did
not ratify it and come into the
Union until November 21, 1889,
eight months after George Washing
ton had taken his Office as presi-
dent; and Rhode Island waited un-
til May 29, 1890, two years and
half after the constitution had been
submitted.
The conflict of opinion over the
document was as marked as this
long delay. Only three state conven-
tions approved It unanimously. Mas
sachusetts ratified 1t by the close
vote of 1877 to 1853, New Hampshire
by a vote Of 81 to 46, Virginia
Washington's own state, and the
mother Of early presidents-by SO
to 70, New York by 80 to 2S, and
Rhode Island by "a to go.

N. Y. CITY MAY PERMIT
BURNING OF FUEL OIL

The use Of fuel oil for generating
steam may be permitted in New York
city. The Wall Street Journal says
that from present indications 1t
would appear that within the next
few months the use of fuel oil for
generation Of steam will have been
introduced into New York city. The
nnal step preparatory to IT'S use con-
sists Of the PRONUNCIATION Of rules COW
ering the storing and use of oil in
the great city. The board Of standards
and appeals expects to be able to an
nounce these rules within the next
fortnight. Following. this, a number
OF large Office buildings, hotels and
department stores are ready to 20
ahead with the installation Of appa-
ratus which will convert their boilers
from coal to oil burners"
In a number Of American cities fuel
oil has been in use for several years,
among these cities being Boston, Chi
cago, Omaha and San Francisco The
city administration of New York; is
said to favor the use Of fuel oil be-
cause of the threatened shortage and
high price Of coal and the established
emciency of oil as compared with coal.
The chairman Of the New York board
OF standards and appeals is quoted as
saying that there is no logical reason
for prohibiting the use of fuel oil by
any property owner who may 50 de-
sire. and that oil can be used with as
much safety as COAL providing suita-
BILE regulations and safeguards are
followed.

that this doctrine no longer prevails
but that society has been revolution.

men can consume more than formerly
while producing less"
This writer sees some hopefuinees
in the situation in America. He ASKS:
"Is the United States turning the
corner away from the period OF ex-
travagance and ineff1ciency Into q
period of economy and saving! ana
answers the question in this way:
.The two outstanding features In the
business situation which argue IN
this direction are the decrease IN
Treasury borrowing and the stineh-
ing in the attitude of employers TO-
