Tennessee's Peculiar WAYS.

From the Kansas City Star
1t is TO be hoped that Tennessee
legislature, with the guidance and
assistance of the state and federal
and the public opinion, can complete
ratification of the suffrage amend
ment without calling in the League
Of Nations or raising civil war.
Thirty-five other states have done
it without recourse to those extrem-
tiles, and it really seems as though
Tennessee ought to be able to.
just now, as we gather, part of the
legislature has run away and is now
in hiding in a neighboring state.
Another part is holding a rump ses-
sion, while the speaker seems to be
engaged in organizing mass meetings
in the public square. Legal gentle
men meanwhile are not wholly idle.
They are doing tremendous bust
ness in the way of getting out in
functions to prevent something or
other being done and mandamuses to
compel something or other to be done
/ The results are, Of course, that thers.
are no results.
Confusing as the situation is, the
lay mind can at least discern one SOL
id fact. 1t may not be important,
but until something else turns up it
will do to hold to. The fact is that
both houses of the legislature, in the
manner prescribed by law and by
sufficient and legal majorities have
ratified the suffrage amendment. In
+, the states where parliamentary
! law has not yet been developed to the
point attained in Tennessee that ac-
ton would be conclusive Some has
ty persons might go so far as to hold
that it ought to be conclusive even in
Tennessee. But it does not seem ia
follow. The Legislature seems to
/ have a rule requiring two wins out OF
three, or three out of FIVE, like 2
yacht race, before a measure becomes
law This first vote in the house
seems merely to have been horse
on the nti-suffragists, who are now
demanding another throw If they
win it will be tie and third vote
will be necessary TO decide.
One does not like to criticize a SOW
ereign state, but it looks like a cum.
bersome way Of doing business
Moreover. it is further complicated
by the rule permitting one side in 8
Legislative controversy to adjourn t.
Alabama. While we do not know. II
would seem, in simple equity, that
the other side would have the right Il
adjourn TO Kentucky. If it should
Tennessee wouldn't have any legis.
lature. In that case we presume The
speakers mass meeting would take
charge.
However, the Legislative rules o,
the Tennessee Legislature are its owl
laffair and it would not be seemly fol
outsiders to interfere. But as suf
frage ratification somewhat concern.

Missile to hope that Tennessee will
certify some kind of action to tn.
