The Spread of Suffrage.

National woman suffrage in the
United States will be decade old
when next August rolls round. The
woman voters of the Nation at that time
will have participated in five congress
sional and three presidential elections
and in many State and municipal cleo
tons. Prior to the adoption and ratifi-
cation of the nineteenth amendment-to
the Constitution granting them nation
wide suffrage, women had for num-
Der of years been permitted to vote in
several of the States. A summary of
the accomplishments, the changes in
the political situation, if any, since the
women of America generally were armed
Americans with the ballot, would not
be without it's interest.
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait, president
of the National Woman Suffrage Asso-
citation, is authority for the statement
that the Chilean Congress is about to
pass law giving women the right to
vote in municipal elections in that
country. Suffrage for women fire.
QuenGly mas 1lrSL Dcen granted HleIcAy
in local elections, and this step has
proved a forerunner Of equal suffrage
with men. Chile, If it gives women the
vote as now proposed, will be the
fortieth country to extend this right to
women. And Chile will have taken a
lead in South America in the extension
of suffrage to women. In two other
South American countries the suffrage
has been permitted women in small
areas-Argentina, in one province, and
Brazil, in one state.
The movement to place women on an
equal footing politically with men pro-
crossed in the last ten or fifteen years TO
a far greater extent than it progressed
during centuries prior thereto. But
in the earlier years the groundwork
had been laid largely through the ad-
vance of male suffrage.
What effect upon the world and Its
history the enfranchisement of women
will have is impossible of prediction
with any degree of finality. While
woman suffrage is a settled fact in the
United States and is SO accepted, it L

America and the World Court.

American entry into the World, Court
is again current issue, in consequence
Of action about to be taken by the
Council of the League of Nations at
Geneva. Steps described as being de-
signed to lease" the process OF entry
were taken yesterday, when the Italian
member of the Council submitted
of American membership in the Court
on the agenda of the conference of
court members, which will be con-
vened this week for the purpose of re-
vising the tribunals statutes.
It is at that conference that the
members of the World Court must de-
eide whether to accept the revised
protocol for American adhesion framed
under the leadership of Elihu Root,
veteran American jurist, and Sir Cecil
Hurst, adviser to the British foreign
Office. This protocol takes care of the
original fifth American Senate reger-
walton to the court, by providing ma
chinery for treating, as they arise, in
dividual cases upon which the United
States may have objections to any
granting of an advisory opinion.
The matter of our adherence to the
World Court of International Justice
has hung fire fer more than six years.
1t was first proposed by President
Harding and Secretary Hughes and
later reproposed by President Coolidge
and Secretary Kellogg. President Hoo
YER is not formally on record with re-
gard to the court, but there is no
reason to believe that he contemplates
any different attitude toward it than
the positions taken by the two preced-
ing administrations. Geneva dispatches
foresha0ow that Mr.. Hoover will shortly
announce his acceptance of the Root
formula and thus pave the way to
Senate ratification of the protocol of
adhesion, which will be required before
American entry into the court can
ensue.
1t is probably too much to hope that
smooth sailing will be had in the Senate
when the court proposal is formally
launched upon the tempestuous waters
of the temperamental Upper House. The
irreconcilable Old Guard is decimated,
but not dead
That time is now not far away.
1t will not be delayed, in all probability.
beyond the regular Winter session Of
Congress in December. Thare can be
little doubt that the overwhelming SEN
timent OF the country is in favor of
our association with the other nations
of the earth which are banded to-
gether for international arbitral pur-
poses. Since the last World Court
storm ragged on Capitol Hill, Charles
Evans Hughes has accepted member
ship on the bench of the League
Court" as its Washington detractors
are fond of stigmatizirg it. Most of
his compatriots are persuaded that the
eminent former Secretary of State and
associate justice of the United States
Supreme Court would not lend his name
and his fame to a tribunal before
which there is the slightest danger that
American rights can ever be jeopardized.

 Verse, Discusses Skirts, Sunlight

LONDON, July 20.-The value of sunlight on the human frame is proclaimed by Dean Inge in a bit of verse recited at the opening meeting of the Sunlight League to- day, as follows:
 Half an inch shorter,
 Half an inch shorter,
 Same skirts for mother and
 daughter.
 When the wind blows,
 "Everything shows,
 Both what should
 And what didn't oughter." Inge praised the women's revolt from extensive covering indulged in 48 years ago saying the move ment of the Sunlight League was carrying further salutory efforts to discard heavy clothes and said: However we have to beware of admitting cranks and freaks. There is sect in Germany which be- lieves in walking about in the nude It is possible to see bands ot young enthusiasts of both sexes going about without clothes. There is nothing objectionable about this but clothes are a matter of con- vention. It is necessary to hold al arms length certain unwholesomt persons"
