Where Woman Suffrage May Count

(New York Evening Post.)
 Ratification of the amendment gives women the vote in several States which may be closely contested and even decisive the election In 1916 there were but 6,000-odd votes between Wilson and Hughes in Connecticut, a total of more than 100000. It is stated that women there show liking for Hol- comb and Brandegee having against the latter his opposition both to suffrage and the League of Ma tions Tn Delaware the margin between Hughes and Wilson was less than 1,500, and the women's vote may easily sway the balance. Maine is additionally a close State-Hughes plurality was under 4,50O. In New Hampshire the candidates within 400 votes of each other, and Republicans this year dis tinctly nervous in Connecticut, women dislike the Republican Senator standing for reelection, Moses. In general Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Vermont are regarded as safely Republican, the South safely pemocratic But New Jersey and Maryland are doubtful States. Ratification has doubtless led head quarters of both parties to take hurried and earnest measures to appeal to the electorate in all these strategic States.

Philippine Independence.
(Dearborn Independent. )


 Another Congressional committee has returned rom the Philippines and probably will report against the granting of independence to the islands. The Philippines have been problem since they became ours and they will continue to be a problem long they remain and when if they are. freed they will still be problem:
 There has been little criticism of American rule here the question of their freedom being osensibly that of whether they are ready to be freed and whether Japan would would net gobbe them up if they turned loose Both answers are so much a mater of opinion that they not valid. s''@f'' ''
 If by ready to be free' that they would carry on a government approximately Amer can lines in orderly manner, the answer is no. Comparatively few countries doing that now. If that they would make shift for them selves and not fall into pit of savagery, the answer is. yes. And neither means very much. Whether Japan would seize them is between Japan and it's opportunities and it's desires, and nobody knows know about that, not even Japan.
 Meanwhile commercial ties, stronger than political, will keep the Philippines under the American flag many a year, and if they are freed, force the United to take constant dprotective inter- ast in MT. Tafts little brown brothers.'
