A Futile Threat

Miss Alice Paul, chairman Of the
National Woman's Party, the avowed
militant branch Of American woman
suffragists, has issued a statement in
the nature Of an ultimatum to the
leaders Of the Republican and Dem
ocraticN parties. She threatens that
the bulk Of the women voters in the
United States will repudiate the two
parties and will support third par
ty ticket If the prompt ratification Of
the Federal suffrage amendment is
not brought about.
IF neither Of the old parties acts
promptly a third party viii arise,
supported by the fun strength Of the
enfranchised womanhood Of the
country" she declares.
Such talk is not only futile but
false. The women Of this country
have not gone mad over their ambi-
ton to vote, nor are they so blind
that they cannot see the dangers in
third party talk Of any sort. Amer
lean militant suffragists are in a
minority and the noisy distinction
which they achieve for themselves is
distasteful to and discountenanced by
the great majority Of conservative
women voters and prospective wo-
men voters. In accordance with the
American political system women
voters align themselves with one of
the regular established parties and
having chosen their political allegi-
ance, they usually stick to 1t and sup
port the party as men do. The mill
tants bring discredit on the whole
suffrage movement by their extreme
methods and blatant demonstrations.
They win for themselves a notoriety
that is often mistaken as represent
ing the general type Of the woman
voter.
This latest threat is so absurd that
it will not probably cause much Of a
ripple, but inasmuch as it has no rea-
son for utterance it would have been
far better left unsaid.

A SIGNIFICANT Feature

A significant feature of this guber-
material primary, we think, is seen In
the effect had on the results Of a well
informed conviction that more thar
four years Of continuous service by
one individual in the chief executive
office of the State is not desirable. In
this view. too, Mr.. Milhken may fine
satisfaction. He was not defeated be-
cause he had not made an excellent
Governor. On the contrary there il
general recognition Of his excellent
service.

Our Next Governor

Whatever we may think of the pri-
mary arrangement in selecting our
candidates, that which was held June
81 is as free from objection as might
be expected. The Republicans of
Maine had ample opportunity to ex-
press their preferences: the methods
employed in conducting an exciting
contest were clean; the result such
as the successful candidate cannot
find otherwise than highly gratifying
and in some degree a we'll merfted
recognition by the Republicans of
this State of the excellent and un-
firing work which Colonel Parkhurst
has done for his party in past years.
Moreover the results Of this pri-
mary should be gratifying to the
people Of the State, and this is said
with due recognition of the excellent
qualifications of all the candidates
for this high office-the Democratic
candidate included. In the selection
of Colonel Parkhurst the Maine Re-
publicans have, we believe, virtually
given assurance that the next Gov
ernor of the State will be gentle
man equipped and disposed for able
service in that high capacity: man
intimately acquainted with the needs
and possibilities of Maine. with
Maine people, with successful and
honorable conduct Of State affairs
trained in the exacting schools OF
business and civic matters.
He has been a clean party man, a
good citizen, a igh-minded business
man, an effective legislator. an UNI
firing worker, an ardent lover Of his
State. His campaign has been
free from Objectionable tactics,
his attitude toward competitors
fair and above board and given cause
for no feelings Of bitterness. II the
Republicans Of Maine will do for
their party and State this fan. what
Colonel Parkhurst has invariably
done when the preliminaries were
over and the campaign was on, the
Republican victory in Maine or
September 18th will be glad tidings
throughout the land.

A Few Things to Remember

"A passion for legislation is not a
sign Of democratic progress and in
the mass Of measures introduced in
the legislatures Of our free common
wealths. there is too little evidence
of perspective and an abundance of
elaborate and dreary utilities"
These words were spoken by. ex-
Justice Hughes before the Harvard
law students, Monday, and they are
timely. 1t really requires no great
power Of perception or deduction to
arrive at a like conclusion II one
give the matter a little careful con-
sideration. The number Of those
much more interested in seeking re-
form by legislation than by exertion,
who would have a sort OF moral
light-saving law to rouse them in
stead of bothering to wind an alarm
clock, is large.
THE regrettable thing" to Mr.
Hughes-and to many others-is
that the tendency to enact uncer-
tain laws seems to be increasing,
and, what is still worse, that the peo-
pie tolerate it and that there are but
faint demands for improvement"
Mr.. Hughes remarks that we went
to war for liberty and democracy,
with the result that We lied the au-
tocratic appetite" He notes the per-
verted use of military power in time
of peace and that to an extent "un-
paralielled in our history the essen
tails are being disregarded." Pres
ent methods he says tend to ''intol-
cradle personal government"
1t will be well to keep these say
ings Of the distinguished jurist in
our minds for a while at least. When
in a way to be carried of our feet
by some brilliant leader these bits OF
wisdom will be mighty handy for re-
consideration. When new laws and
changes are proposed they will like
wise be very valuable for second
thought, for resolve to demand that
he who would make the change shall
furnish absolute proof Of the need:
and while doing this to familiarize
ourselves with the facilities we now
have, test and apply them; to learn
where we are at" We ought to
have suficient good sense to refuse
half baked" pabulum: we ought to
recognize the well established fact
that a gun which goes of at half
cock" is a poor weapon either Of Of
Tense or defense; we ought to be en-
dowed with SUFFICIENT common sense
to assert the conviction that the
thing on which We wear our hat is
not the forward terminal OF q sheep.
