Today Jackson, itself, has Surrend- cred to the feminist movement and made a clean sweep of every male officeholder. The only explanation thus far given for the overtum comes from the editor of The Courier, the city'S sole newspaper, who says m his paper: 1t is thought the novelty of being the first city on record to be governed entirely by women helped them to secure such a complete vic tory" The editor who was, himself, candidate, accepts the results with out rcpining but says the women sur prised even themselves by the result.
 There was no unusual campaign ing, no special issue at stake nor was there an unusually heavy vote. Mrs. Miller defeated Fred Lovejoy for mayor by vote of 56 to 2S. Four wo- m,u were elected members of the city council over four men candidates by about the same relative vote.

Why. Not?

Abolition of the electoral college; the
names Of presidential and vice presidential
candidates only printed on the ballot, where
few hundred voters petitions in each state will
place them; direct vote for president and
vice president; abolition Of party conventions;
a chance for nominees other than those ap-
proved by politicians-such is the proposal for
change in the organic law of the nation which
will be pressed by Senator George v. Norris
OF Nebraska
e. In all but name-and expense-the eclectic
raj college" is dead letter now 80 far as its
original intention is concerned. The original
plan Of the fathers Of the constitution contem-
plated that the people in each state should
choose number Of wise and farsighted men
who in turn would get together and, in their
wisdom, pick out tnan who would make the
best president. The thing didn't work Politi-
cal parties came along and seized the machin-
cry SO deliberately set up and used it for their
own purpose. Now, scarcely a voter realizes
that he or she is voting for presidential
electors"
But though the machinery is ineffective in
carrying out its original purpose. it is effective
In giving political conventions and political
bosses an opportunity to exclude from posi-
bility anybody except the choice of a political
convention
Norris plan of abolishing the electoral COL
lege allowing a man to run for president by
petition OF a reasonable number of voters, and
having voters vote directly for their choice for
president and vice president is worth careful
consideration.
The theory that the further removed gov
eminent Is from the people the better 1t is is
bolshevik theory, united for America Elect
ing electors, who in turn elect. is not good
democratic American practice.

II you are following the testimony being

There has been formed In tho United States
an organization demanding that the American

il unlikely that the request will be acted upon

II people in . certain section Of the United
States should rise and refuse to be governed
by the national laws, set up their ewa govern
ment. and ask, recognition by Great Britain.
what would We expect England to do? We
would tell England that che must keep her
hands out OF our Affairs.
The United States as nation has no bust
ness interfering in the quarrel between Eng
land and Ireland. It is distressing situation.
and it does seem strange that in this advanced
and enlightened age a great government like
that of England ought to be able to pacify the
restless element in one OF its possessions.
Persons seeking to arouse support for the
! cause of Ireland in the United States are
merely scattering poison against England. The
United States has plenty of home troubles need

through taking a hand in the differences be-
tween other countries. II there are to be any
riots incident to the fight for Ireland's indie

things in the United States ought to get the

British club. This is America and not England
