MODESTY VS.. WORK

We wonder whether our readers
noticed how little praise is given in
some of the write-ups in this issue
to those who have done some of the
best work! In the Jewish War Re-
lief, for instance, the name of Joseph
H. Schanfeld is barely mentioned; in
the Talmud Torah, there is little
reference to DR.. Geo. ]. Gordon; in
the Keren Hayesod, scant mention is
made of Mr.. A. N. Bearman; the
Talmud Torah Ladies' Auxiliary's
summary refers little to Mrs. Alex
ander Berman; the Council. of Jew

almost passed over.
Why?
Because the summaries of these
activities have been prepared or In
spired by the very persons who have
given SO literally of their time and
energy to the institutions thus writ
ten up, and modesty-perhaps false
modesty-has prevented the writer's
giving credit where credit is due,
namely. to themselves.
Which, after all, is not so sur
prising, because the truly energetic
worker is, nine times out Of ten, all
too modest when it comes to claim
ing credit.

Henri Bergson, the celebrated

the world of thought and letters.

COURT sUSTAINS WOMAN'S
SUFFRAGE AMENDMENT

Washington, Feb. 27.-The constitu-
tionality of the woman's suffrage or nine
teenth amendment was sustained today
by the supreme court in a unanimous
decision rendered by Justice Brandeis
The challenge came from the state of
Maryland, where Oscar Lesser and others
sought to prevent the registration of two
women qualified voters in Baltimore.
Lesser and his associates contended that
the constitution of Maryland limited suf-
frage to men; that the legislature of
Maryland had refused to ratl1y the wom-
ans suffrage amendment, and that the
amendment had not become a part of the
federal constitution. The Maryland state
courts sustained the amendment.
The contention that an amendment to
the federal constitution relating to ad-
ditions to the electorate cannot be made
without the consent of the state, the court
disposed of by reference to the fifteenth
or equal suffrage amendment, deca ring
that 'one cannot be valid and the other
invalid" 1t pointed out that the validity
of the fifteenth amendment had been
recognized for half a century
The suggestion that several of the
thirty-six states which ratified the nine
teeneth amendment had provisions in
| their state constitutions which prohibited
the legislatures from ratifying could not
be entertained the court stated, because
the state legislatures derived their power
in such matters from the federal eonsti
| tuition, which "transcends any limitation;
| sought to be imposed by the people of a
state"
The remaining objection that the rati
fying resolutions Of Tenpessee and Wes
Virginia were imperative, because adopt
ed in violation of legislative procedur,
in those states, may have been rendered
'immaterial," the court declared by tn,
