The suffragette prcblem doubtless
makes the Irish Home rule problem
leck issy to the Eritishers. Prisoners
who won't cat and doctrinaiies who
burn and deface property ; re well
calculated to make the authorities feel
that thciis is not a bed of rests.
The loss of life as a result of the Ohio
and Indiana deeds has betn pared
down to 454. This is quite a fall from
the f.ve and ten t hoi sand figures which
prevailed a short wl ile ago. But this
is a mat'.tr where nobody las mega
lomania. Tie smalkr the figures
the better evirybody will be pleated.
The world is full of contrasts but
none of them sharper than that af
forded by the vast number of peo
ple in this and othtr countries in actual
want of sufficient nourishing food on
he one hand and on the other those
English siiffrnrcttcs who are being
fed l.ke the Irishman i layed the fiddle
by main strength and awkwardness.
The ante-primary camapign in New
Bern has surely been a tame affair,
except as to the mayoralty and that
h :s not been sensationally exciting.
If we are not to have government by
commission, the I ldcrmen ought to
be paid seme amount approximating
what the time that they devote to the
city is worth. Then, perhaps .there
would be something of a scramble for
the places end suitable men would
hot i avc to be dragooned into running
fcr ( ffice. There should be some way
at all events to inject mere ginger into
the campaigns.
It is pretty hard for the voter to go
v. rong in today's primary election.
1 ho candidates are a tolerably likely
combinatii n. In making such choice
a has to he made it occurs to us that
the contrdling consideration with the
vote.- shot Id be to select the candi
dates who will be the most apt to go
into cff.ee with no promises as to who
shall have the offices and with no
strings of any sort tied to them. Level
headed business men who have no
axes to grind and no political debts
to lettle are the men in all elections
who should get the support of the dis
criminating voter.
CANT' DODGE THE ISSUE.
It will take a backbone of iron
to
enable the President to withstand
the pressure which is being and will be
1 rought to bear on him to swerve him
from his determination to use his in
fluence to the full limit to sec to it that
that Democrats in Congress adhere to
pl.it 'n: in pledges as to tariff revision.
But that's the sort of backbone that
he possesses. The policy of the Demo
cratic party as to the tariff may be
t'c wrong i I icy and its adoption
may hi ve i nti ward rest 1 s that the
Presk'ei t and the other rpcstl s of
tariff reform c'o not fo.esre, bi t it
is thf Pcmo r; tic pclc ai.d the one
on which it went into piwer and it is
hard to stc how it can oodge the issue.
We do not sec how such a pt licy ca
be inaugurated wi.hout the industries
affected being more or less injured
through fome of the tariff experts
claim that this is not impossible. But
whether it can or not, the Democrats
have their pledges to carry out and to
carry them out they arc in honor boi ncl.
Else, platforms are made to get in on
and not to stand on.
Suppose the British Government
rhould let Mrs. Pankhurst starve tt
death. What then? Mrs. Pankhurst
would be held up by her fellow suf
fragettes as a martyr. But we think
that the common sense part of the
world would feel tha. if a person
prefers to starve to death when he can
get the food necessary to prevent star-
vation there is nothing to do but let
u. . ., . .us. I
him do it. In some State, in this coun- f
try attempted suicwe is a crime and
involves a serious penalty

Mrs. Pankhurst should get three ad

Washington, April 7. "Wanted: A
Naval Ptlicy," will be the ruling thene
when the Navy League of the United
States meets here Thursday 1st its
eighth annual looventlosh
The Navy League shouldn't worry.
It has a boas who is clever at evolving
policies and resourceful and effective
in getting them put in opi rat on. Under
Joscphus Dan Js the American nav
mill have a pel cy . It may not be a
wise one, but it will not be cor.spic
uo is for its non-existence.
Interest over the postoflices is said
to be at fever heat in Washingtor
But Dr. Wilson is said to be distress
ingly cool.
Colonel Gorgas, the one man per
haps who ought to know, says the
Panama Canal is not a canal By the
same token, we presume it is also wrong
to cill it "the big ditch".
Democratic statesmen who have been
wobbly on the tariff are showing re
markable stiffness of conviction now
that it has at last come to a show down.
Not as bitter a pill as it looked, some
of them no doubt are saying.
The Raleigh News and Cbserv.r
says that the search and seizure law
is iffective, that all it needs is enforce
ment. Enforcement, aye, there's the
rub. If it were as easy to enforce a
law as it is to pass it, life would be one
grand .sweet song.
If the North Carolina law-makers
had worked out as complete a program
for raising money with which to meet
Sta'e expenses as the Democratic
lea lers in Coneress apoear to have done
in the task of raising money with which
to meet national expenses, citizens of
the State generally would feel better
satisfied.
Many of President Wilson's admirers
will refuse to approve of his course in
going in person to deliver his message
to Congress. Of course it doesn't
make any difference intriniscally wheth
er the President's iressage is read by
the President ot somebody else, but
as the Doctor has been breaking a
good many precedents his latest achieve
ment is likely to make the people think
that he is overdoing the thing a bit.
A syndicte writer is having a lot to
say under the head, "The truth
About Mexico," but he is so volminous
that it is safe to assume that the greater
part of it is pure guesswork.
"Morse has regained his ships",
says a news dispatch. Mr. Morse is a
tolerably active plunger and operator
for a man who a short while ago was
so bad off that if he remained in
prison a month or so longer he would
incur risk of death.
Congress not in a long time has
paid such attention to a Presidential
message as it did Tuesday when Wood
row Wilson read his in person. The
scholar in politics is perhaps the man
who would be most expected to
smash precedents. For he is the man
most apt to know just what precedent
is based on and whether or not the be
ginnings of a precedent were grounded
in reason.
Icebergs are reported near the grave
of the ill-fated Titanic. The mysterious
thing about this report is what the ship
that did the reporting was doing around
the graveyard of the Titanic. Almost
anybody must be good enough navi
gator to understand that where the
Titanic sank is a gooel lace to stay
away from. By the way, the first
anniversary of the sinking of that
great ship, which was one of the great
est and most dramatic disasters ef
modern times, falls on next Tuesday.
ELECTING SENATORS BY POPU
LAR VOTE.
Direct election of United States
Senators became one of the provisions
of the constitution of the United States
by Connecticut's ratification of the
amendment to that effect on Tucs
diy. A few years ago the person who
predicted that this would happen
would nave been laughed at in many
quarters. Election of Senators by the
people had many elements of danger
the old-line conservatives firmly be
lieved, nut it doesn t make the upper
house of a legislative body wild or
radical to be elected by the people
me senate oi north Carolina has
been elected by the people all the while
and we don't think there ever was one
that was not pointed to as the in
strumcntality that saved the State
from the radicalism of the House,
The United States will not go to the
bow-wows as a result of the States
electing their Senalo s by popular
vote instead of by the legislatures.
