AS IN THE DAYS OF ROME

Only three men were killed in the 1ndianapoli. au-
tomobile races the other day, but the 125, 900 people who
assembled to witness the contests were highly enter
tanned, nevertheless. Two Of the victims were burned
to death by blazing gasoline amid the wreckaee of their
car, but we are told that the race did not slacken a mo-
n'ent on that account. On dashed the cars that re-
NAMED on the track, and, to add to the thrill, the rae
ing cars in passing picked up the burning fluid on their
heels, and for a time there was the interesting POSSIBLE.
iy that the whole race track might be a circle of flame.
And there were minor accidents in sufficient number to
keep the crowd keyed up every moment to the point of
joyous expectation.
Beside such an entertainment. the modern prize
fight with gloves is as tame as a game Of marbles. The
old-fashioned smuggling match with bare fists va. a milk.
and-water affair in comparison. To find anything like
a parallel we must go back to the days of ancient Rome
when. before admirins thousands. gladiators fought
each other to the death, and famished lion. lunched IN
public off helpless Christians. But what fun Nero cou,d
have had with a lot Of automobiles!

PARTIES AND PARTIES

North Dakota is to have a new party. This time
it is a labor party. Already we have a farmers party,
but the farmer, it appears, is not a laborer, and it has
been decreed that a party composed Of the real, simon
pure, honest-to-goodness laboring men is necessary.
Hence the new labor party.
One interesting feature about this organization of
political parties is that there is no limit to its possibilities
The farmers have been told that the ordinary conditions
of citizenship were not a sufficient basis on which to found
their political action, and they must have a political
party of their own. And, to save them trouble and
thought Mr., Townley gave them such a party, all ready
made But not all persons are farmers. We have the
workers" the "laborers" the wage earners.' who. we
are assured. constitute a class by themselves, with inter-
ests which can be protected only through the orsaniza-

at least some of the damage which she has caused, and,
to a degree which will be highly distasteful to her, but
which will! not compare with the war costs which other
and innocent people have been compelled to bear. she
must make payments in money or goods for some Of the
destruction for which she Is responsible.
1t is not proposed that in any notifications Of the

by three-fourths Of the states it will become a part of

The trend of our political development toward a.
greater Capitalization OF power in the hands Of the fed
within very recent years, has congress arranged for the
to the states Of proposed constitutional
amendments under which the national government as
sumes control over matters which were formerly con-
sidered wholly within the jurisdiction Of the states. The
first of these instances was the submission Of the prohi-
bition amendment. already ratified by the legislatures
OF more than three-fourths Of the states, and the other
Is the submission of the woman suffrage amendment,
with strong probability of its ratification.
Whatever doubt exists with reference to the ratifi-
cation Of this amendment applies to the southern states,
whose experience with negro Acknowledgement has not
been such as to cause the white population to look with
any degree of enthusiasm on the doubling Of the negro
vote by the Acknowledgement Of negro women as we'll as
negro men. 1nasmuch as the failure Of thirteen states
to ratify would, defeat the amendment. and feeling on
the subject runs high in some sections OF the south, the
adoption of this amendment, while probable, is by no
means certain.
Technically, the amendment does not enfranchise
anyone. 1t provides. merely, that the right of citizens
OF the United States to vote shall not be denied or
abridged by the United States or by any state on account
of sex" The states may prescribe the qualifications
OF voters. They may prescribe a property qualification.

fications are prescribed, they must apply 70 blacks
