The question of effual suffrage after, resting quietly during six weeks of the Oenersl Assembly . will be resurrected to the point of being a lively issue at s hearing to be held tomorrow night i the Senate chamber. The Equal Suf frage League. -of North Carolina baa gone on record ai favoring municipal suffrage and it is doubtless this meas ure thst will receive the most consid- r eraiion. ' . In view of the almost rerlain proba bility of Congress adopting the pro posed Federal amendment -within the next year, many friends of equal suf frage in North Carolina doubt the wis dom of introducing any suffrage legis lation at this time. Tbey point out that the General Assembly is equally certain to be called in extra session next year and if the Federal amendment is adopt ed before that time, tho, General As sembly could ratify it then. The Situation At Present. Certainly it would be unwise to sub mit a constitutional amendment to the people of North Carolina which could not be voted on until the next general election in 19110, if Congress should adopt tho proposed amendment, which ran be ratified by the General Assem bly iff xt year. On the other hand'many of the legislators are . constitutionally opposed to taking such radical step without submitting it to the suffrage plan and wiH vote for it when the bill comes tip. They have crossed the Rubicon and stand on solid ground. Soma "Eelectloa Reforms."

Representative Jackson seems to be actuated by the highest motives in sending in this measure and points to its excellent results In his home county of Henderson as abound ant reason why if should be adopted all over North Carolina. Of the Same Wind. Representative Jackson likewise sub mits the beneficial results attained in liuncombe anil Madison counties and it is only fair to him to say that manjr Democrats in those counties agree with him though for a different reason. They aver that it has helped to carry the Tenth District for the Democrats .be cause It leaves ths venule dubosscd. Representative Jaefson' might llso have Dointed to New Hanover as a county that has the Australian system without any modifications and ho could have said that it is highly satisfactory down there and the people have no idea of going bark to any other ays tern. Not Yet i nsnlmous. " While IHh good points mentioned , may be true and Representative Jnfksl sou may be actuated by the highest and purest motives of good citizouship, this should not be construed to mean I that tho Democrats are going' to fall I over themselves in adopting it. They ca npoint to many reasons why they don', want it in many counties, not- i ably thej fact that it will require an in- j creased expense in buying booths and i other fixtures tnd in addition will re- i ' quire more time to vote. They eontend ! that this is unnecessary in a county, l for Instance, that is overwhelmingly ! Democratic or likewise in a county that) is overwhelmingly Republican. There are several modifications in Representative Jackson's bill though it j provides the essential features of sec- : recy in casting ballots. It provides that If a voter is enable to fill out bis bal-. lot properly that he may call in one of ' the judges of the election who shsll ; call in another of the opposite party j to watch him fill out the ballot for the . voter. Both shoultHnrTWorn to secrecy, I however. ' I Would Inspect Books. Representative Herring, of Sampson, ! has a hill in soak that be will spring on ; the (iencrnl Assembly before long, but j he isn't sure just yet the form it will , take. He knows what be wants hut he liu't sure ss to the method to follow. , It is for inspection of registration books so ss to insure that they will not be I paddod. He confesses to patinlity for the plan of the board of registry, used in ; Near-York-; bnMhinW this may b too ; advanced to spring on a North Carolina 1 General Assembly. In tbs Empire State ths registrar and the judges of 1 elections meet and canvass the registra tion books before each election. They prepare a list of ligibls voters from the books which is posted at the voting booth fur public inspect ioa. If for any reason a person entitled to vote has his name omitted, lie is given a bearing and if his claim1 is valid, his name is put on. Representative Herring feels, how ever, that probably tbd most feasible plan in this State t.ill be to a judge icprescutlng the minority party present on the dafs of registration to see thst only legitimate voters are registered by the registrar. Will This Scheme Work Senator Sisk has introduced a bill In the Senate amending the. absentee vot ing law to cnf rm t Republican de-. rrands while Representative Williams l as introduced one la the, HoTTteTrmilhrR- ir.g tha present law. There Is method in this procedure, as the Republicans thereby plan to plac the Democrats in hole, if possible.1 The Republicans liars already condemned the" present lew aud they now ask ths Democrats either to amend it so as to prevent abuses, which it is claimed bare been remmitted, or else to abolish -it en tirely. The Republicans admit the principle is just, but rlaim.it it the abuses they want t remedy. Child Ubor Legislation. The House is dae to take ap the Nenl child labor bill as a special order to morrow whils tha Education committee of the Senate has set a bearing oa the Long child labor bill for Wednesday afternoon at 3 o clock. The b:U intro duced by Senator Long of Halifax in ths Senate is ident.cat with the Neal substitute bill In the House, which got a favorable report. The Long measure got a favorable report from the Senate committee on Manufacturing, but to make things doubly sure it was passed over to the Education committee . for further consideration.

The telephone message between Sec retary of the Navy Daniels and Presi dent Wilson has created intensive in terest among Washington newspapers and public. The Washington Tunes this afternoon gives tho exact message as conveyed by Secretary Daniels to tho resident liv wireless yesterday., ilero it is: "Mr. President,.. you will receive a great welcome when you arrive in Cost on. The destroyers and the aircraft and the Denver will meet you. Mayor Peters and Admiral Wood havo made all -arrangements. "See you Tuesday. Great welcome in Washington. Goodbye." v Commander Percy W. Foote of North Wilkesboro, N. C, personul aide to tbs secretary, assisted in making the me chanical arrangements for the message. THe modern-day wonder inspired the Washington Star to editorialize as fol lows today: "Secretary Daniels telephoned com munication with the President yesterday vfuilev the steamer bringing the Chief Executive was 800 miles at sea is but a new token, of theyonders that have developed within a very short time. Wireless telephony is not especially novel now, for it has been practically in communication mm , im wry to a ship 800 miles out at sea its never theless a marvel. ''Wireless telephony is of course sub ject to being overheard, though it has the same degree of protection that the 'fffllerw iieless-faavtrf iwdiri4tti-v44iTttw.; a ecrtain degree of aecrecy is possible.
