THE RHINE REPUBLIC.

Germany may well be wondering and worrying as to what will be the outcome of the action taxen by the Rhenish states in proclaiming them selves a republic. This is the sec- tton of Germany lying to the west of the Rhine and extending from Alsace- Lorraine to the Dutch border and made up of some of the. most valuable sections of Germany, with large nat ural resources and important manu- featuring centers.
 The proclamation or republic by those states does not of course make it so. Germany will have something to say about such a move even as il has in other parts of the country, while the allies will in all probability have a voice in the matter if such a step is going to be taken.
 It is set forth that the idea of es- tablshfng government Of their own by those states is nothing new that 1t is a protest. against Prussian meth ods and control and that. taose west of

BRINGING SOUTH AMERICA
 NEARER.

nized that our trade relations with South America have not been what they should be. Every time there has been an effort made to improve them it has been found that one of the great handicaps was the lack of facilities. We lacked banking facili- ties. we lacked steamship lines and we lacked cable connections. We were in fact dependent to a large ex- tent upon European nations for such business as we did and it was quite natural that with sucn disadvan- tage that the other countries through which we had to deal should get the cream of the trade.
 We may have been slow to move but there are nevertheless indications that we have realized our position to the extent that we are gong to take ade- quate steps to meet the situation. For some little time efforts have been un- derway for the betterment of banking facilities. and now along herewith comes the interesting announcement that new steamship lines are to be established which will provide fast and frequent service between this country and important ports in South America. But in addition to that we are also to have direct cable connec- ton with Rio Janeiro. which will put us in close communication with the other important cities along the east ern seacoast of that continent.
 These improved facilities have al- ready been, decided upon. It may re- quire few months to put them into operation but the important fact is that the decision has been made to se- cure them. .Eenccforth we have req sons to believe that the impediments to our share of the trade with those countries to the south will be elimi- mated, and such is ss it should De.

the Rhine have long chafed under the dominance of Berlin. It is likewise apparent in undertaking such a sepa- ration, that it is possible that those states are seeking this opportunity to get out from under their part of the load which Germany must carry in meeting the demands or the allies, and that they are magnifying some- what the dissatisfaction which has ex- isted in the past.
 It can be realized. however, that If such a thing should be permitted that it would again kindle the fires Of dis cord in other parts of the country, that it would deprive Germany of a valuable section which it could ill af- ford to lose and that it would seri- ously cripple Prussia in the future.

THE SUFFRAGE AMENDMENT.

In keeping with expectations was the action of the senate in passing the woman suffrage amendment. The ten- dency has been in that direction for a long time and but for some of the wild and disgusting demonstrations that have taken place it is possible that it would have been approved be- fore this. ( The struggle has been un- derway since 1875 put it has gained more attention in the last few yearr. It has even received favorable action on several previous occasions in the lower house only to fail for lack of the necessary two-thirds in the sen- ate.
 The passage of the ameqdment by the senate. following the same action by the house does not of course put it into operation. This like other amendments must be ratified by three-fourths of the states through their legislatures. This means that the woman suffrage amendment must go through the same course that the prohibition amendment did. though in the latter case there was the provis- ion that ratification must take place within seEen years. which is not so regarding the suffrage amendment.
 That efforts will be made to secure this ratification in time to permit of participation in the next presidential election is to be expected. In view of the fact that there are so many states which have given the women the right to vote therein this is by no means impossible. Some of the strong est objections are expected to come from the southern democratic states and when it is realized that 13 states are enough to prevent ratification it can be appreciated that much atten- ton will have to be turned in that di- rection to make uD for any possible opposition elsewhere.

Following an account of the rider
in the sundry civil bill that halted
work of the federal vocational board
by cutting off the appropriation, Sen

resolution urging congress to correct
the injustice.
The resolution was adopted unani-
mously in both houses and was en-
rolled and sent to congress by Merlin

Phillip o. KS Bird Measure.

Senator Birds plan for community
center to take the place of the saloon
as a common meeting place has re-
ceived the approval Of Governor Phil
| Up, and the bill to promote this end is
now q law.
When the federal prohibition amend
ment went through the legislature last
January, Senator Bird voted against
1t, but announced that, knowing that
the amendment was sure of ratifica-
ton, he would offer a measure which
would provide a system that would
in a way take the place of the saloon
as a common meeting center.
The Bird bin, which has just been
approved by the governor, provides
ated an da community house main
tanned in any tract of contiguous ter
ritory containing either an area not
less than 16 square miles or popu-
lation of at least 500 inhabitants.
In the creation of community cen
ter district, the people have the right
to vote whether a community center
can be established. If the vote is ia
vorabe, the officers of the community
center shall be a director, treasurer
and clerk, who shall constitute n COM
munity board 10 manage its affairs.
These officials are elected for term
of three years, the Office of one Off
cial expiring each year. A tax not to
exceed one mill on excess valuation
may be voted for the erection Of the
building and for furnishing the same
with suitable apparatus.
Governor Philip has vetoed the
bill providing that deputy clerks to
the circuit courts In Milwaukee coun-
ty shall be appointed under the civil
service. The governor points out that
the law allowing judges of circuit
courts to appoint their deputies has
been on the statute books since 1S49.
