THE PEACE COMMISSION
Peace negotiations seems to
haw come to a standstill. The
commission is awaiting the
pleasure of Carranza who ap
parently is in no hurry about
giving his answer, seeing that
he practically hold the key to
the situation in Mexico.
Kver since the mediators
offered their services there has
been considerable speculation
concerning the general outcome
as it i rather ditlieult to see just
how peace can he brought about
in Mexico when there are three
interested parties, with the Con
stitutionalists holding the long
end of the string.
The United States received an
insult at the hands of Huerta,
but as that gentleman is, and
has been a waning factor in
Mexican national life, it is not
so easy to conceive of just how
the dignity of this country van
be appeased unless it is supplied
in the removal of the dictator
from Mexican political life, and
as for peace, the Constitution
alists now are in possession of
the greater part of Mexico ami
seem to be amply able to sweep
opposition aside and to take pos
session of the rest of that country
in the immediate future.
Taking these things into con
sideration, Carranza's question,
"What are you going to do about
it?" is pertinent and to the point,
as the Constitutionalists certain
ly are in position to demand
recognition in whatever pertains
to Mexican political life.
In Stubborn England
. The suffrage situation in Kng
land is viewed in this country
with mingled contempt, ridicule
and disgust, and John Bull's long
heralded reputation for con
servative common sense is suf
fering severely. Nor is there
any tendency to sympathize- with
either side, for each, it seems, is
striving to conduct its campaign
with utter absence of sense and
reason.
The government, by its stub
born resistence to the principle
of giving woman the vote, is
daily proving that it is so bound
by the conventions and the
customs and the ideas of the
past that it is unable to compre
hend anything modern. Centu
ries ago it was customary to re
gard woman as an inferior being
who was incapable of anything
requiring the exercise of intel
lect or reason. Her importance
was held to be wholly secondary
to that of man, and the idea of
her participating in the affairs
of government would have been
considered absurd if it had been
advanced.
In enlightened America this
medieval conception of woman
was long ago abandoned, and
she has been accorded her place
as the full equal often the su-
perior of man. I n a large limn- J of Clarence Aikmatl. deceased,
her of states he has been grant- j Petition to sell real proKrty filed

Ages theory still seems to pre -
vail. The government is un
alterably set against giving the
ballot to women, and refuses
even to consider such a thing.
In the campaign that is being
waged by the militant suffra
gettes there is not the slightest
semblance of reason. The jrov-
' eminent refuses to grant them
the right to vote because, pie-
Isumablv, it does not consider

impression that a country gov

about as far advanced in civili
zation as the Hottentots.
Over here. the suffrage move

garded as a campaign. It pre
