PRESS COMMENTS.
FEDERAL SUFFRAGE IN SIGHT.

West Virgnie makes tho thirty-fourth
State to ratify the Anthony amendment,
granting full Federal suffrage to women
all over the union. Only two more
States arc needed to rntify the amend
mcnt, and Delaware and Washington are
about To net on the matter at special ses-
sions of their Legislatures called by the
governors of those States.
1t is practically certain that the ncces-
sary thirty-six States will have ratified
the amendment in time to give women
the privilege of voting in the Presidential
election. By this amendment ratified by
State Legislatures suffrage is imposed,
not granted. States that do not want il
in their own territory because of local
conditions are compelled to accept it,.
The suffragist answer to this charge is
that it is only the men of those States
who do not want it, and that women arc
people.
II is only an assumption to say that
the women Of those States want it. They
are just as likely to oppose it in their own
boundaries as are the men, and for the
same reasons. 1t would quite probably
be found that in such States only a
minority Of women would favor suffrage.
Where the women really want the vote the
men have always stood ready To grant
them the privilege. That is why suffrage
has made such headway in the States;
where there has been a doubt the men
have given the women the benefit of it

Jealous, Gaping. Partisan Criticism.

Mr.. Nicholas Murray Butler, president
Of Columbia University and an aspirant--
although with very little visible indorse-
ment-to the Republican nomination for
President of the United States, is a leader
among the captious critics of the Dem
ocratic national administration and the
direction of our country's participation
in the great World War. In entpublic
deliverance he declared that under
Democratic administration there has
been an orgy of blunders, marked by
waste and incompetence"
Now, as an educator Of ability, Presi-
dent Butler must know that an "orgy of
blunders," coupled with waste and
incompetency," never can accomplish
good results. Yet who will have the
hardihood, even in the heat of the most
intense and ignorant partisanship, to
assert that our country accomplished no
good results in the part it played IN the
war in Europe? Its record of achievement
was the wonder of the world.
So President Nicholas Murray Butler,
in the zeal of his partisanship and his
craze for high political preferment, simply
writes himself down an ignoramus In
making such a violent and unwarranted
accusation.
Every evening, Wilmington daily commercial., 1920-03-13

And now, admitting there was extra
agance and waste in our war prepara-
tions-it would be idle to deny plain
facts-look at the record of accomplish
mcnt, the glorious results that overcamo
these difficulties so sienally and cast them
in the shade.
Nearly two million fighting men sent
to Europe, sailing through seas infested
with deadly submarine enemies, without
the loss of single ship or single man.
Our navy, hastily augmented, sent into
the fighting area, where it aided materially
and brnvely in subduing the fiendish
German enemy that dealt cowardly and
murderous blows from under the water.
Our soldier boys fighting on the fields
of France, we'll equipped, well-fed with
wholesome food, in a manner that COM
manded the admiration of the world, and
broke down the boasted German morale
to the point of almost ignominious sur
render. They proved themselves the
"bravest Of the brave" and better fighters
than the trained legions of the Allies and
Of the German military machine.
How could such splendid, such glorious
results attend an administration that was
can orgy of blunders, marked by waste
and incompetence"
1t is simply impossible, In word, 1T is
false.

THE GOLFERS SONG TO SPRING.


Let poets sing OF dnffodils and tulips and
the crocuses,
Tho green upon the budding trees, tho
murmuring Of the gentle breeze;
Let budding Homers twang their Tyres,
and sing the charm Of gentle skies,
wish some rhyrncr would arise to chortle
for the golfing guys;
l want a poet now to dash lyric from his
ready pen,
And sing how good IL ia TO get your clubs
and shoot the pill again.
Forget the violets that bloom, forget the
- nodding tulips, too,
The green is on the fairway now, and
overhead the sky is blue;
The brinkers now are raked and clean,
the ice has quit their caverns deep,
And there are pretty little flags to flutter
where the breezes sweep;
Oh, gladstone Spring, oh, glorious Spring.
oh, season Of delightful thrill
When man once more can call out ''Forep
and swat the festive little pill.
What cares the golfiing bug about the song
birds which are tuning up1
Tell him about the tinkling sound OF
golf balls dropping in the cup,
Bid him to hurry to the club and get bis
knickerboekers out,
For once again the time has come to swat
the little pill about;
The dreary winter now is done-tell him
to quit the haunts of men;

RECKONING WITH THE
THE REFERENDUM

West Nirginias sensational ratification
Of the Woman-Suffrage Amendment make
thirty-four States whose Legislatures
have thus gone on record, only two fewer
than the necessary three-fourths Al
though the Governors Of Connecticut and
Vermont stoutly refuse 10 call special
sessions. the General Assemblies of Della
ware and Washington are to meet this
month and favorable action is confidently
expected.
1t has been held. therefore. that West
Virginia decision was vital 10 the pros
pect of universal suffrage for women at
the Presidential election, but, to say
nothing of legal complications in that
State, the immediate success of the cause
depends in fact upon the Judgment OF
the United States Supreme Court in the
Ohio referendum case. If that decision
upholds the contention that where the
referendum has been established the
people are as much a part OF the legls-
lature as the Senate and House, the
approval OF Ohio not only but of several
other States will be held in allegiance.
The court has already held ID an Ohio
case involving the apportionment of Con-
gressional districts that the legislative
power of the State is vested in the people
as well as the General Assembly As
this controversy embraced constitutional
questions resembling those now raised,
il would not be astonishing If the forth
coming decree should be the same. In
that event, Woman Suffrage probably
would only be postponed, but women
could vote for President in November only
in the States in which they have already
gained the franchise.-New York World.

Familiar as he is with history, Mr..
Butler must know that never was
great war conducted without waste,
extravaganza, and mistakes, even al
though the final results were highly
gratifying. War itself is a waste, an
extravaganza. and the gravest, most
dangerous OF all human mistakes. 1t
cannot be conducted without the lntru-
sion OF these evils.
All the notions participating IN the
World War made mistakes, some of them
terribly costly. England made mistakes,
disastrously In the Gallipoi campaign,
that wasted millions IN money and
thousands of human Il yes. France made
mistakes in assaults hat proved fruit
less except as to terrible losses. Germany
made mistakes, from the beginning of the
war to her downfall
1t is probable, therefore, that our
administration made mistakes in its
conduct of the war, and also that it
wasted a great deal of money. But would
the people, during the height OF the war
excitement, have taulely submitted TO
measures for the prevention of waste that
inevitably would have delayed important
war measures? Not for an instant. The
in.i.tent demand of the people was for
men and ships, for munitions and food
products, and for everything else that
would get US into the war in the exercise
of our full strength and power as soon
as possible. Economy had to be ruthlessly
set aside for the time being. And yet
the waste was negligible in comparison
with results.
