The Suffrage Margin Narrowed.

The West Virginia senate yesterday
refused to reconsider the vote by
which it rejected the suffrage ratifica-
ton amendment. The vote was IA to
IA, as it 1rls the other day, President
Wilson's tepegraphic request to two of
the state setators-the only democrats
in oppositi bn-failing to affect their
position. Meanwhile the house voted
41 to 40 to ratify. 1t would appear
that there iS 10 chance of action by
West Virginia in approval of the
amendment this spring. Thus the
fight concentrates now on Connecticut,
Delaware. Vermont, Washington and
Tennessee, for the three votes still
needed for final ratification. OF these
fire states only one is assured, Wash
ington, in which special session will
be held March %. From the other
four must be obtained the two votes
needed. None of the states named will
meet in regular session this year and
special sessions will be necessary to
enfranehise the women in season for
the presidential election if the amend
ment is approved. Such session is
not possible in Tennessee owing to an
obstructive state law.

ambition is to lead; and there IS no
reasons why we. should not realize it.
We have not yet failedlin any great

everything to which We have set our

This is not to say that we have moth

the contrary, we have much to- learn,
and, especially as respects foreisn2mar-
kets and how best to supply them.
And if we are wise aud fully alive to
the opportunity we will learn from our
rivals by observing their processes and
noting their successes.
The word hustle will take on new
meaning when this trading same gets
we'll started. The world is ripe for a
great tsade. effort. To a, degree, it is
being recast. New boundary lines are
being traced, new alignments formed,
new needs created, new industries es-
tabfished, and new means of distr'bu-

achievements in building up our own
country to its present importance have
Won for US praise as hustlers. but II
we are to play the part to which we
aspire in this rebuilding of the world
we shall have to hustle as never be-

Supt. Thurston's Statement.

Supt. Thurston's Statements - S'e
board of education yesterday in re-
joinder to the boards declaration that
he has lacked in administrative
strength and responsibility ms
given for his virtual dismissal from
his post-was strong. dignified pre-
sentation. Ii involved counter allega-
tipns to the effect that the board has
denied him cooperation, has, in effect,
u-urped his administrative duties, and
has, moreover, violated the spirit, If
not the letter. of the law in conduct
ing the school affairs in secret instead
of open session.
The public will weigh these matters
with keen interest. 1t is alreadT
aroused on the score of the proposed
change in school administration, de-
ploring the prospect created by the
boards precipitate action nearly half
. year before the expiration of the
superintendent term.
If the law has, been violated OF
strained by the board Of education IN
the matter of secret administration, or
in the matter of the usurpation OF the
superintcndent's duties or RESPONSE
bilities. or in the matter OF appoint
ments to positions. the board itself is
not free from criticism and. side by
side with the superintendent. is def
nitely put on the defensive before the
Senate Investigating committee which
il about to inquire into the whole
school situation.
Mr.. Thurston's statement omits many
details. 1t is but an outline in broad
terms of the happenings of several
years. Those details will doubtless be
Forthcoming in the course of the in
vestigation. which is to begin next
week.
Washington is not concerned in per
sonalities in the school mattek II is,
however, deeply concerned in the mat
ter of whether the schools have been
properly administered, whether the
welfare of the pupils has been the
first consideration of those charged
with the duty Of their management
and supervision. The hope is that the
Senate inquiry will develop these mat.
tiers so fully as to leave no doubt as to
where responsibility lies for the ds'
pSofable condition that now prevails

Restore the Bonus.

1t is ineonceivable that Congress
will deny the government employees the
bonus of s24O a year which they arc
now being paid in addition to their
regular salaries in consideration of the
high cost of living. Yesterday the
Hpuse struck the provision from the
legislative appropriation bill on the
ground that it is not authorized by
law. This il q sound: reason, in par
liamentaryC law, but it is assuredly in
equitable.
The. bonus was granted in lieu of
salary promotions II wns recognized
as necessary to enable the government
workers to meet their expenses at a
time when costs were rising on all
sides and the government pay roll re-
manned stationary. Practically no
other group of work. rs in the United
States were being held to the former
scale Of psy.
If the costs Of living had decreased
there might be some specific justice
in withdrawing the bonus, though even
on the old basis of costs the govern
ment pay scale was Inadequate, aud
return to normal prices would without
the bonus leave the clerks. still in a
sad state Of undeTpsyment.
But the cost of living has not been
decreased. Congress has not been able
to devise legislation to that. end. This
is not to say that the fault for the
continuaHee Of high prices lies with
Congress, but that body must take into
account the fact that the economic sit
uation in the countsy-and in Wash.
ington with the rest Of tks country
demands a higher scale Of compensa'
ton than the fixed legal rates provide
II parliamentary flIes lie in the
way, if points OF order obtain agains1
the bonus continuation, some method
must be fousd to, overcome the obsts.
Gle, to the assured end tfat the bonut
will be continued. Else CoueEess will
lie put in tie irdbfsnsibte position ai
compelling tie governments employees
to serve at a rate Of pay that doei
not meet the actual expenses of life
Therefore, as already su4vested, i
is nconceivable that this. bonus should
be stricken out. The House should
not leave it to the Sauate f0r rest0ra,
ton. but should itself devise method
Of adding it to the bill, so that the
measure as it passes that body will be
in terms Of justice and good faith te
the government workers.
