CARNATIONS starting campaigns OF
drives have considered it necessary
to spend sums of varying amounts
in hiring publicity directors. II
has been tho duty of these fellows
|'to "vlan," material in the neysva
pers.
In the beginning, the plan was
we'll and good. But the publicity di
rectors began to branch out, hiring
their services to candidates for OF
fee, assuring the latter that through
some vague influence wit the edi
tors, this or that employing candi
date would get propaganda into the
newspapers which would otherwise
be impossible.
Such is, Of course. ridiculous
The Capital assures its readers
that any worthy organization need
not hire publicists. The newspapers
employ reporters to handle news
and cover news events. When a
subscriber donates money TO any
cause, he should know that the en-
tire amount goes for the purposes
for which it is intended and that
no part goes into a fund for plant
ing" propaganda n the columns OF
the newspapers.
Drives for money for derserving
organizations are legitimate news

FOR UNIFORM
SUFFRAGE SYSTEM

The United States would do well
to follow the plan proposed in the
Canadian parliament-and consider
ed certain OF acceptance-for the
adoption OF uniform franchise, uni
form methods of preparing voters
lists and uniform election machin
cry. In this. country there are near
" as many systems as there arc
States. If there is one thing about
which there should be uniformity
if is in suffrage qualifications.
For instance, in five states Unit
ed States soldiers and sailors are
disqualified In Nebraska and other
western states aliens who have de
clared their intention to become
citizens are eligible to vote. Then
there are educational qualifications
and in the South we come on a sys
TEN calling for poll tax for suff
rage. Vermont and Kansas still
deny the ballot to Confederate sol
diers. In New York state bettors or
election are disqualified and in Id
aho teachers Of polygamy may moi
vote.
SO there is confusion worse con
founded If these things are gooc
for one state, they are good for al
the states. 1t is an absurdity that
suffrage should be SO variousiy
conditioned. Divers measures will
respect to the franchise are an abo
mination to the constitution. They
are an offense against equality

How many Americans, able to
write a grammatical and interest

the constitutional disability? How
many men not lawyers could de-
scribe. offhand, the other method Of
amending the Constitution, or how
many lawyers? There are two
ways. You know how the Eigh-
teenth Amendment was passed.
What was the other way in which
the Constitution could have been
amended?
One of our greatest writers dis
cussed "a certain condescension in
foreigners" Are we not suffering
a little from a certain superiority
in Americans? No doubt the read
ers of this paper are familiar with
the constitutional distinctions here
suggested. But how many of the
claimed twenty million readers OF
the Hearst publioations-one-fifth of
the population of the United States
and presumably all the literate
adults-eould tell the Hearst edi-

making of America an armed camp
and dcpriying our country OF the
products OF the Drawn and brain of
olr young manhood? 1t would be a
blow to American people to find that
We had become a military nation. "
To these sentiments the Florida
Times Union DEM heartily ag-
rees. saying:
The compulsory military training
bill is dead as a mackerel, and We
hope that in few days the volun-
tary military service will be in the
same condition. If we propose only
to defend ourselves we do not need
a larger army than we had before
the outbreak of the world war and
we should dislike very much to see
Uncle sam place a chip on his sho-
ulder and awagger forth in search
of conauests."
But many. who consider the con
scriptcd youth in danger of expos
ure to the germ of Prussianism,
look upon the volunteer as safe,
sane and wholly desirable
Quoting Brig. John Sherburne's
statement that preparedness is like
insurance and oyerpreparedness
like oger-insurance-leading to
waste and arson-the Des Moines
Register lind. Rep.) concurs with
this viewpoint and explains that
this talk was not the talk of pa
citist for General Sherburne fought
in France" but the testimony of Il
man who has kept his head clear

calls and purposes of democracy"
THE Civil War the Buffalo
Times (Dem) reminds us, ION the
Northern side, was fought and won
mostly by volunteers" and it be
lieyes that there is a growing real
ization on the part of young men
that some experience in training
camps is a valuable element in edit
cation"
With less enthusiasm but still
with faith in the young men Of the
country, the Charleston News and
Courier (DemD urges that instead
bf condemning voluntary training
lis worthless makeshift. the lib
3ral-minded supporters of compul-
sorry training should recognize the
possibilities OF the scheme and do
what they can TO make the most
of it." relying on the fact that "a
more pronounced military spirit and
wider conception of the obligation
of the citizen to fit himself for mill
tary service now exist in America
The Salt Lake Deseret News
Qnd.) considers that the measure
does not mean the make or break
of the country's future.
On the one hand. it points out,
that while the stigma of militar
ism" will be attached to it by many,
opposition by Congress is not &C
curately indicative of opinion in
Washington, but the compromise, ="
it says. comes probably as near to
satisfying both sides as anything
that could just now be devised"

never in the history of the country

Some librarians have censored all
volumes containing information on
the subject of brewing, Whiting and

their encyclopedias, but the litera-

1t will be interesting to observe

lNTE IRRATIONAL

1t is said to be unbelievable that
the British and French people, to
say nothing of the British and
French Premiers framing the Lea

norant of the constitutional limits
Of Mr. Wilson authority at the
peace table. But IS this knowledge
so universal? Are not our own peo-
pie not merely ignorant but indif-
ferent about the methods of govern
ment of our European neighbors?
In a courteous and friendly edi-
torial welcome to Sir Auckland Ged-
des, the British Ambassador TO the
United States. the NeT York Amer

Put much oftener men are raised
to the peerage. as both the Geddes-
es have been, because they are men
