“Ths greatest hardships from

Opportunity of a Lifetime
. Supposing the men who eight years
ago were seeking jobs at fifteen to
twenty cents on hour are now get
ting all they oin do at sixty to eighty
<ents an hour, are they enjoying the
opportunity of a lifetime?
Assuming they wish to 'get ahead
i-i the world” they are; the oppor
tunity to save up a dollar now worth
le-'.s than fifty cents which in a few
years will be worth a hundred cents.
But everything they buy costs that
inu'h more? True, except air and
water, news, postage stamps arid pos
sibly some minor incidentals, which
haven’t quite doubled ar.d trebled. So
it happens an occasional buyer, who
once bought a twelve dollar suit of
clothes, now. instead of buying one
for thirty to forty dollars insists on
paying seventy-five, saying: ' I can
. fford it. I can pay for it.”
Can he afford it? One hesitates to
criticise such a gratification of per
sona! pride once in p while, but where
!' becomes habitual at the certain ex
pense of that person's future and the
welfare of the community, criticism,
‘ ms merited.
If that person really wishes to pro
vide for the future of himself and his
family such an attitude of extrava
gance is not only silly it is despicable,
for he not only flouts opportunity, but
ignores responsibility and instead of
laying by dollars secured by fifty
< ents worth of effort until such a
time as they may buy one hundred
cents worth of effort, he squanders
hie present and exposes himself and
his to the finger of shame -when other
conditions come, as come they will.
Other Opportunities
Aren’t there other opportunities
than those of mere saving and grub
bing? And aren’t there other—er—
deluded mortals, who are missing
them?
The thriftless workingman who In
toxicates himself with a seventy-five
dollar suit of clothes at least did a
Tittle work for the money even if he
didn't sprain more than his employ
er’s, patience In the effort. Aren’t
there others wasting who never
earned the right to possession ?
Surest thing since trouble was in
vented. Unfortunately It is a ques
tion whether they are really worthy
of.mention or consideration, whereas
the fellow, who at least Isn’t super
stitious when work crosses his path,
is potentially of some account.
Really It’s no more than a neighbor
ly-suggestion that he think over this
•natter of saving while the saving is
good, and it may assist him a little to
consider tho opportunities there are
for enjoying oneself, outside the Jazz
merry-go-rqund in which he resem

Yet ail these really good neighbors

that went with it during that me
morable stage of the war depending

credit of humanity, then made good
It was surprising what they really
did accomplish tv united and unsel
fish effor- with something realty
worth while for inspiration.
Neighborliness samtified is truly a
wonderful state of being—and enjoy -
able And we’ve been given an op
portunity to see it for what it is and
to learn that its essential is trying
to do one's part. < mere mention of
which fact, such a.-: this is intended to
be, needn't be mistaken for a sermon.
A sermon, you know, is supposed to
apply quite generally while as a mat
ter of fart the number of people, who
are doing their pari, and often more,
is after nil. surprisingly large.
Preaching Catastrophe
"Our point has been to try to pre
vent any such complication b; block
ing ratification.”
The above is quoted from the
lengthy communication printed else
where on this page and written by
the president of the national associa
tion opposed to suffrage for women.
This lets the cat out of the bag at
once and discloses the reason for
writing the letter.
The ami-suffragists deem it in
cumbent on them to reveal these
bugbears to the American people.
Why? Because anti-suffragists are
anti-suffragists. Is it to be assumed
that only anti-suffragists are able to
detect flaws in our political process
HOW MAINE WOMAN
GAINED STRENGTH
This ii the period of the yeax when
women are apt to feel the effects of a
long1 hard winter. Constant attention
to the duties of home and family fre
quently leaves little chance for out
door exercise and the lack of fresh
air results in a feeling of debility,
weakness, absence of energy, fainting
spells, headaches, nervousness and
irritability. When you And little an
noyances setting your nerves on edge
it is time to take a tonic.
Every woman who feels ambition
less. tired and complains of sleepless
ness should read what 31rs. Alfred
Snow, of No. 98 Spring street. Auburn.
Me., says about the remedy that re
stored her health.
"I was all tired out,” she said. “My#
back ached at times so I qould hardly
move. I had severe headaches which
made me feel deathly sick and 1 was
pale and lost flesh and strength. My
sleep did me no good. 1 was tired
and restless all the time. 1 had se
vere nervous attacks and pain in the
top of my head. Sometimes there
were trembling sensations all over,
my body and my heart troubled me.
"One day my son brought home six
boxes of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills and
urged me to try them, which I did.
After the second box I could notice
an improvement. I took twelve boxes
at that time and know they gave me
strength and built me up. I am very
thankful for the benefit which I have
received from Dr. Williams’ Pink
Plfls and whenever I need a tonic I
shall nse them again.”
Tour own druggist can supply you
with Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills or you

ous System.''—Atlv.
'es? Or that only anti-suffragists
possess the patriotism and courage
to point them out to the people?
Miss Ktlbreth says her letter is not
anti-suffrage propaganda, but if the
evils she conjures up were to jump
out of a different hat they would be
taken with several tons less of salt.
She makes prominent the fact that
th<- suffrage leaders are acquainted
with the device of 'he referendum
and the possibilities involved. We
wish to make equally prominent the
fact that this knowledge has not de
terred them. Suffragists have the
courage of their convictions and have
steadily refused to be scared or
scouted by die hypothetical possibili
ty that something may happen if
something else happens or does not
i happen. Such an attitude is coward
ly. insipid and absurd.
Job's comforters have their modern
counterparts and they are trying to
outdo their prototypes, but we < or.fi
dently believe that the calamities
which the anti-suffragists are fore
casting will be taken car" of by the
regular 'constitutional methods.
Complaints Worthy of Consideration
Admiral Sims may have been
moved to the making of his com
: plaints by pique but those complaints
I arc so definite and apparently so well
I supported as to leave the conclusion
| that whatever may be the motive the
! exposure is merited.
1 Doubtless Daniels will have his
smoke screen in readiness, neverthe
! less it may well be doubted whether
he may be able to disprove the evi
dence of negligence at the most im
portant crisis of the war.
Just how he may explain why the
urgent recommendations of a man
occupying Admiral Sims' position
passed unheeded will require some
astuteness. If he shows those rec
ommendations unworthy of attention
i how may be explained the continu
ance of Sims in command? If he
| argues inability to comply that cer
tainly is no excuse for ignoring the
! requests.

The Last Thrill
'New York Tribune i *
The suffrage drama continues to
give good measure to the faithful
who linger for the last reel. The old
and the wise, of course, put on their
hats and went home as long ago as
last summer, when the amendment
passed the Senate, knowing well that
the direst villain had then been foiled
and that time could safely be trusted
to handle any of lesser breed who
might assail the heroine.
But the more ingenuous, who mean
i to stick it out to the very last fade
1 away, find the last little flicker of
| suspense as thrilling as the more im
. portant periods of the p|ay. How
j they cheer this married Lochinvar
j who has come racing out of the West.
1 while relentless time strides on to
| the close of the session in the West
j Virginia Legislature: How they
j shiver as the elements themselves
i appear to take sides in the contest,
land we, who know it is only a dish
pan rattling behind the scenes, nev
ertheless breathe a bit quicker as
j the snowstorms rage against his
slow-moving train, and yell delight
when airpldnes are mentioned.
Ah. well, that's over! Loehinvar
arrives and West Virginia ratifies.
We knew it. Hut it was a tight
squeak. We mop our brows, powder
our noses and turn the program im
patiently for the next scene. Oh, yes.
we’ll stay now until it is over, even if
we do miss the last train. Delaware,
is it? All right, Delaware, bring on
your show.
Condition* on the St. Lawronco
Unless a miracle is wrought this
year, there will be the biggest kind of
a time on the St. LawTence river a
little later that people have ever
known in that section of the world.
The ice is 30 inches thick at Borel
and the best the Lady Grey can do Is
to break out about three miles a day.
At that rate she will get up to Mon
treal about Aug 1 and long before
that time the damage will have been
done. The people in the entire low
stretch of the river are beginning to
get ready to pack up at the first
warning of a break-up. It is said
that there is snow enough up above
to raise the river six or eight feet,
even without an ice shove, and if
that comes, too. there will be a merry
time for a few days.

Catastrophe Imminent?
that threatens -- , , .
:rv is facing the most serious legal ana
political battle since the Civ»l vtar.
it is safe to say that only a few law
•■ers perhaps a dozen newspapermen ami
on" half a doien political leaders know
the' facts about this crisis, or even t- at
it is upon us. .
First of ail I wish to make it clear
that this is not Anti-suffrage Propa
ganda. Mrs. Carrie Chapman catt.
president of the National American
Woman Suffrage Association, in a con
fidential letter to her followers on De*-.
2T. l?19. plainly warned them that ait
question of referenda on the ratification
of the pending Federal amendment
would have to be decided by the U. c.
Supreme Court, and she asked J1000>» to
conduct the case. There will bo at
least three cases.
1. THE REFERENDUM CASE is
only one phase of the subject. Brietij
it is the question iwhich will be heard
by the U. S. Supreme Court in March,
with respect to Ohio) as to whether the
people, under the REFERENDUM
CLAUSES of their state constitutions,
are entitled to vote on ratir.cation of
Federal Amendments. The Supreme
Courts of Ohio and Washington have
held that they may in those states, 1 re
Supreme Court of Oregon and the cir
cuit Court of Appeals of Arkansas, nave
r iled that they may not in those states.
There are 22 referendum states. It* of
which have ratified the Federal t-ut
frage Amendment, and in which, says
THE SUFFRAGIST for February, ‘a
referendum, if declared legal, would t*
possible." __
2. THE STATE SOVEREIGNS
ISSUE is the great fundamental case.
Maryland has already approve! a reso
lution. denying the power of Congress
to submit such an amendment, and at
tacking its validity on the grounds,
briefly, that it would destroy the state
and make it a province, with less au
thority in deciding who shall vote for
its own local officers than it enjoyed
under the original charier from the
British Crown. This resolution is not
merely a • resolve" by a legislative
body." but a legal brief, prepare I by
one’of t'-e ablest constitutional lawyers
in America.
What has this to do with the political
catastrophe mentioned in my opening
paragraph?
Any lawyer thoroughly conversant
with the history of proposed suffrage
amendments to the Unittd States Con
stitution knows that the people of Ohio
and the -Hate of Maryland have more
than an even chance of winning their
cases—and there are other states that
will join in the campaign without a
doubt.
Therefore, the validity of every wom
an's vote cast under the alleged Federal
Suffrage Amendment is certain to be
challenged, not necessarily by the op
ponents of woman suffrage, but by the
great political parties.
What political party. losing the ra
tional election by the electoral votes of
one or two states where the validity of
the elections was open to serious ques
tion. would hesitate to throw the entire
Presidential election into the courts?
The political leaders who are urging
ratification, regardless of the funda
mental leeai issues involved, are heade I
straight for political chaos; for until
the legality of the Federal suffrage
amendment is established, any election
held under it can be challenged and un
doubtedly will be challenged on a far
more serious array of evidence than the
Haycs-Tildon contest presented, and
with perhaps even greater danger to
the United States. It must be remem
bered that the two great political par
ties are almost evenly matched today;
that most of the states are •'doubtful";
that President Wilson won in 1916 by
only 22 electoral votes, of which 13 in
• 'alifornla were obtained bv a popular
majority of 3773 ar.d 1 in New Hamp
shire by a plurality- of oniv .id votes. In
Minnesota. Mr. Hughes won 32 elec
toral votes by a plurality of only 3?2.
The recent election in the third Con
gressional district of Missouri, has
proved, if anything, only that relative
party strength in 1 sj) is about the same
as in 11*16. The Non-Partisan League in
the Northwest, the discontented ele
ments in other sections, and especial
ly the unknown political attitude of
women, will all tend to make the com
ing election the most doubtful in the
history of the Republic.
It It to fce further complicated bv a
question of legality? Is it to be de
cided finally by the United States Su
preme Court, after months of political
turmoil, business unrest, bitter partisan
1 attle— if nothing worse? Again, if the
legality- of women's vo.es under the
Amendment is denied by the Supr-me
(ourt in those states where women
have no such vote under their stale
constitutions, it might require a sec
ond election to find out who was Presi
dent of the United States, for there is
no separation of men’s and women’s
votes under full double suffrage
3. THE PRESIDENTIAL SU FFRAGE
SITUATION presents another serious
ease. Indiana. Iowa. Maine. Minnesota
Missouri, Nebraska. North Dakota.
Wisconsin and Ohio elections are al
ready jeopardised by the passage of
bills fcontrary to their state constitu
tions) allowing women to vote in the
presidential 'election. The Indiana
supreme Court iOet. 23. l?17i has held
this legislation unconstitutional, but the1
Indiana legislature under the suffrage
whip, and apparently wishing to "please
the women" by passing ano'tlier bill of
this sort, again adopted a presidential
suffrage resolution in 191?— which ha
not yet been attacked in the courts
11 eiiu .name, me .vnu-.xunragists
nave filed referenda on these presiden
tial suffrage bills, which will be decided
by popular vote next November In all
of the above states, either party <or anv
candidate) can challenge the "electoral
vote on the ground of tne illegality of
votes cast by women, contrary to" the
State Constitution.
In Illinois. Tennessee ar.d Rhode
island (where the constitutions do not
specify that only males are entitle! to
vop- in "all elections") the presidential
suffrage bills arc constitutional. The
hi? Tennessee Supreme .courts
have upheld them in those states out
soledy because there was no conflict
with the state constitutions, •which
vary of course in the different states.

m r yg.tu-tb-sat.lyr i
tone of shocked surprise whether we
anti-suiTragists would deliberately throw
a presidential election into the courts.
Our point has been to try to PRE
VENT any such complication bv
BLOCKING RATIFICATION. But it
should be remembered that the ques
tion of legality is certain to be raised,
and all good citizens will agree with us,
we believe, that it is better to chal
lenge it now, before a great presidential
election, and have it decided calmly as
a legal question, rather than have it
provoke another Hayes-Tilden conflict
r.< xt November.
We have no objection to these facts
b. ine made public. It would be liettei
for the people to know them now rather
than learn them in the heat of partv
passion next November, but we have
no way of persuading newspapermen,
political leaders and lawyers to con
sider these grave issues, except by ap
pealing to them in a fair and candid
manner to face the facts in^khis case
and let the people know them.
