Up to Delaware.

Washington's ratification of the suf
frage amendment justifes the con-
fident expectations that were felt
Thirty-fve states have now affirmed
and six have refused their assent. One
more is needed to enfranchise the
women of the United States. Delaware
is in session, and there the fight cen
ters. 1t is q striking fact that the next
to the smallest state in the Union
should be in a position to cast the de-
Gliding vote for suffrage. If Delaware
should vote in the negative it will be
necessary for the women, if they are
to be enfranchised for the next cleo
tion, to seek a special session in Vef-
mont or Connecticut. The hope, how
ever, is that despite the opposition in
the Diamond state the legislature. at
Wilmington will cast its vote for en-
franchisement. Heavy pressure is being
exerted on the legislators in behalf of
SuAAdSC lAOh PdAty AOduCAS OA cOeh
sides. Neither party wants to bear the
blame for the defeat of the amend
ment in this state, where the deciding
affirmative vote may be cast. Some Of
the more militant of the suffragists
have declared that if Delaware votes
'No" they will hold responsible in the
campaign that party which contributes
the largest number Of negative votes.
o. course, if Connecticut or Vernon
or possibly Tennessee should later
vote for ratification in time for the
election this curse would be lifted It
is great responsibility that now rests
upon the state of three counties and
upon the comparatively small handful
of legislators representing them thus
to be called upon to cast in effect the
deciding vote on an issue affecting the
millions Of American women Of voting
age.

Ebert COMPROMISING.

Ebert's government at Berlin is com
promising with the radicals. Noske is
to be dropped by accepting his resigna-
ton. Plans for n military campaign
against the Ruhr district reds have
been cancelled. Other concessions are
expected. One Of the rumors Of the
hour is that Scheidamann will be asked
to form a new Ebert cabinet. Scheide-
mann was a socialist in the old days
before the war and during the war
was a convenient tool of the imperial
government in holding the radicals of
the reichstag in line for the military
program. lie was accused Of "playing
both ends against the middle" He
made compromises with the govern
ment quickly after vehement denuncia-
tions in the name Of his socialist as
sociates. It was common report that
he was being rewarded from imperial
headquarters. Certainly he lost caste
somewhat with the liberal elements, and
lin consequence in the readjustment
following the armistice he was not in
fluential and has occupied a COM
paratively insignificant position in
German affairs since. If now he is to
be brought forward as the link be-
tween the radicals and the Ebert gov
ernment he will be at his old post Of
q political liaison officer.

Mrs. Gardeners Appointment.

The Presidents appointment of Mrs.
Helen H. Gardener as a member of the
Civil Service Commission is graceful
and worthy tribute to the women of
America and recognition Of the fact
that their full enfranchisement is
about to be consummated. The selec-
tion was a surprise, to Mrs. Gardener
especially. Her work heretofore has
been on lines of literary effort and
latterly in the promotion of the suf-
frage cause, in which she has labored
indefatigably and effectively. 1t has
been in this latter connection that she
has demonstrated administrative eff
fcieney, and her selection for the post
for which she is now named is justified
by her achievements in the executive
department of the National Woman
Suffrage Association. 1t is appropriate
that a woman should be included on
the Civil Service Commission. The
governments personnel includes many
thousands of women. Mrs. Gardener
will be most satisfactory representa-
tive of the women of America on the
board that directs the selection of the
workers who maintain the efficiency of
the American administrative system.

Maine.

The republicans of Maine meet in
state convention Thursday. The state
election takes place in September.
Nominations for places on the state
ticket will be made at a primary in
June. Both parties are girding for
the fray.
Normally, the state is republican
though never overwhelmingly so. There
have been some close contests. In 1916
the republicans carried their national
ticket by a majority of a little over
five thousand.
During the bull moose epidemic q
few years ago Maine became affected
Mr.. Roosevelt was very popular there
But when bull moosery died, it died
al over. and since then the Pine Tree
republicans have been fairly well
united. They are in full control now
They occupy all the state offices, the
two seats in the Senate and the foul
in the House on Capitol Hill.

card, both parties make vigorous ef-
forts to carry Maine in September.
The result achieved then is interpreted
as q forecast of the following Novem
Der.
But there have been some notable
miscalculations on this score. One oo-
Cured in 1880, when Garfield and Han
cock were the opposing candidates for
President. In September Of that year
the republicans lost the state. and the
! result made the democrats jubilant.
They forthwith put the state in the
Hancock column for November. But
they were hasty. Garfield carried it.
Another miscalculation occurred in
1890. ten years later. In September Of
that year the republicans elected all
four of their candidates for the House,
and this was interpreted as assuring
another republican Congress. Thomas
B. Reed. Maine man, was at that
time Speaker But in the following
November the democrats carried the
country for Congress overwhelmingly.
So Mr.. Reed returned to the floor, and
Judge Crisp of Georgia succeeded to
the speakership.
In the matter Of the peace treaty
both Of the Maine senators were op-
posed to the pact as the President sub
mitted it. Neither would have voted
for its ratification without the dotting
of an IL or the crossing of t." But
at the close Mr.. Hale voted for rati-
fcation with the Lodge reservations,
while Mr.. Fernal voted no. Not even
the reservations removed his objee-
tions to the Presidents work.

Peace by Resolution.

Senator Hitchcock, in an interview al
Augusta, has expressed the opinion
that the plan to have Congress declare
peace by resolution will fail because
of constitutional obstacles" According
to the text Of the interview he speaks
of a concurrent resolution "to be
signed by the President" Usually joint
resolutions are signed and if is a joint
resolution that is now proposed. All
resolutions are concurrent in the sense
that one house concurs with the other
in the expression, or statement, or
enactment. But some resolutions are
technically concurrent only in that
they do not go to the President, but
are merely expressions of opinion on
the part of Congress without the force
of law or deal with matters strictly
within the congressional jurisdiction.
There is no positive constitutional
obstacle against a declaration of peace
by joint resolution, adopted by vote
of the Congress and signed by the Pres
ident, or in the absence of his sigma.
ture passed by two-thirds vote over
his veto. Indeed, the Constitution is
quite silent on the score of making
peace. There is no direct reference to
the subject Of peace in the instrument
Inasmueh as peace is usually made by
treaty, however, the provision that
the President shall have the power,
with the advice and consent of the Sen
ate, two-thirds voting in favor, to make
treaties, may be regarded as the con-
stitutional mode of peace making. The
Constitution prohibits the states from
entering into any treaties, alliances or
considerations. 1t does not prohibit
Congress, by and with the consent of
the President-or failing that by two
thirds vote-from making peace.
1nasmueh as Congress alone can de-
clare war, it has been urged that Con-
gress can make peace. At all events,
that is the theory upon which those are
proceeding who now propose declara-
tion Of peace by resolution of Con-
gress. The Senate having refused to
ratify the particular treaty submitted
by the President, all hostilities having
been ended, all issues in which the
United States is involved having been
settled, it would seem to be quite
within the province of Congress to
terminate preposterous pretense of
war by proceeding with declaration
formally stating fact that has existed
for some months past.

Northern Lights.

With the northern lights illuminat-
ing the northern sky last night and a
lively river-front fire setting a glow
in the southern sky at about the same
time, Washingtonians were treated to
an unusual spectacle. Some, indeed,
thought a conflagration was in prog
ress, with the skies so brilliantly H.
lumined, in both quarters. There is no
mistaking the aurora borealis, how.
ever, after single experience. 1t has
peculiar quality that is like nothing
else in all Of natures phenomena. In
scmc respects it may suggest distant
fire, but these are rare. It is too pale
=. glow to simulate the burning of
physical materials. Washington has
few manifestations of this strange
planetary emanation. Farther north it
appears in most vivid manner. In the
arctic regions it is commonplace
These "northern lights" have never
been satisfactorily explained by sci
encc, although profound inquiry has
been made into them and ingenious
theories have been formed to account
for them. The best that can be done
toward their explanation is that they
are due TO magnetic flow in the
regions of the poles. But what causes
this fow and why it takes s1ch e.
traordinary shapes and assumes such
prismatic cclors Mt times remains one
OF tie myst cries of nature. A pecul. ar
fact about t "'e demonstrations of the
