STRETCHING THE CoNsTl-
TUTION.

The unseating OF five socialists by
the New York assembly the other day
suggests that the constitutional pro-
vision making legislative bodies the
sole Judge of the election ana quail
fications of their members Is being
stretched to cover a multitude OF
sins. Stated differently, II Is being
badly overworked, It seems reason
ably clear to us that the construc-
ton often put upon this provision Is
In no sense justified nor was 1t so
intended by the trainers OF the con-
stitutional provision.
II would hardly be contended that
this clause authorizes a Legislative
body to determine the election OF
member by any other rule than the
laws governing elections. We beiieve
no such body has ever undertaken
to declare that n member was no'
elected unless there was a contest II
some form or other--without O
charge that the election laws nae
been violated. And. by parity OF
reasoning, we believe that SUCH podS
has no right to impose any othei
standard OF qualification than tha'
prescribed by law.
To put 1t differently, we do no.
think the improvising of election
laws to provide for an emergency
is justified in either law or morals
And the same Is true as regard'
qualifications. The law tixes TN
standards, both OF election and quar-
fcations. A. fair construction woul'
suggest that when legislative as
sembly has determined whether TN
election of q member was In accord
ance with the law and whether hi
qualifications measure up 10 'h
standard fixed by the law. II has OK
hausted its powers.

THE NEXT WAR.

Those whose minds delight to
dwell on horrors are now discussing
the next war, leaving others to COM
pose the situation developed by the
war we lately had as best they may
The seers referred to are OF opinion
that whereas much Of the great world
war was fought from under water,
the next war will be fought almost
wholly from the air. They have also
already determined that the winner
81 the first battle will be the victor
il the war--because there Will be
but one battle. And not the least
disQuieting feature Of this theory Is
IL FEASIBILITY.
Admiral Fisher, England's naval
critic, Is very much impressed with
the contention above alluded to. He
thinks the building of massive bat
+ tleships is a waste OF time. money
and materials. Given his way. he
would construct only the lighter
/. types of naval war craft. 1T being
Ill idea that navigation of the air
has now reached a stage where huge
Z OHItltbulpS ntihpiy o"N'
mark inviting destruction. While
their demolition was in progress they
I would remain helpless and defense
less. Moreover, a feet of airships
such as he contemplates could lay
waste large cities and the country
generally.
As above stated. this theory
has within 1t enough of probability
to give us thoughtful concern, AIT
navigation, 1t is true, did not reach
this state of deadly perfection during
the recent unpleasantness, but 1t did
get away to flying start, for all
that. The obvious deduction seems
to be that we should now devote less
attention, energy. and treasure to the
construction OF obsolete war machin-
NV ana consider more seriously the
AIRS possibilities. In the meantime
We might also propagate more thor
oughly the theory that all wars are
destructive and deadly and that CO.
operative friendship among the ma
lions is wholesome and Desirable

MICHIGAN FOR JOHNSON.

In giving 10 Hiram Johnson such
nronoupced lead In her presidential
primaries yesterday. Michigan mas
apparently reacted strongly to the
charges of excessive use OF money
recently made against the Wooa
managers. The result Ia 2lso all the
more interesting on account or the
conyiction of Senator Newberry ana
his campaign managers a few weeks
nro. The obvious deduction Ia that
electors OF Michigan are not insen-
sfbIe to the debauchery OF the state
with political Doodle.
Beyond all cavil, the Michigan re-
turns will prove a great boost TOT
tha Johnson cause. The senator Is
GENERALLY conceded to have mucn
strength in the Pacific coast states
but this 10 first blood for him nearer
the center OF tho country. By
parity of reasoning, one might alse
co,sclude that the Wood tide MAJ
reached high water mark. The com
uaratively poor showing In Michigai
cannot fail TO have a great influence
In others OF the big central s'ate'
vet to choose delegates.
Another feature of the Michigan
results are that they do not mani
fest very much interest in the peace
treaty. Senator Johnson Is one o
the impiacabie foes of ratification u
anv form while Wood, Lowden an'
H6over are committed to raunca
tion with reservations. ON the othe
hand. Atty.-Gen Palmer. who is sup

tion, apparently ran behind tou

or course the Tennessee leglsia-
ture can have nothing to DO IN spe-
cial session with a ratification OF the
federal suffrage amendment II Is
strange anyone should be so Ignorant
as TO think so. The Tennessee con-
stitution prevents such. But the leg-
islnture can impose a poll tax on
women and nut them on an equality
with Che men in all respects ana IL
would be sound public policy to do
so. Under Gen. Thompson's opinion
IL is still possible for the legislature
TO impose such tax on the women
for the year 1919 and make inc
presentation OF receipt pre-
requisite for voting.

Publisher McClatchey, OF Sacra-
mento. reminds us. once again, that
the Japanese immigration problem.
like the poor, abides with us. And
this ut a time when we have rev
other complications on our hands
1,he great danger. as Mr.. McClatchey
sees 1t, has three-fold aspect--the
economic habits OF life Of the Japa-
nese. their impossibility of assimi-
,ation and their greater fecundity
than the white race. THESE points
are all worthy of serious considera-
ton and are cumulative proofs OF
the acuteness OF our immigration
situation.
