"d >es not l:e in its misrepresentations, in its partisanship, in is defiance of diplomatic usage. in its calculated affront to the peace conference, nor yet in the crumbs of comfort it must give to defeated and despairing junkerism the world over. "Every one of these considerations is bad enough, but worse than all of them put together I- 'he question which this measure cannot fa.l to raise in every civilized country: Have we in the United States a responsible government* "Peace negotiations with Germany have been made difficult from tlu : r->t by doubts as to the stabil.ty and sincerity of its present rulers \V< have no assurance that we are to ex ecute a treaty with a republican Ger many, an independent socialist Ger many, a bulshevist Germany, or evet an honest Germany. "In itussia w?? have not been abb to establish relations with anybod: as vet. for there is no generall; recognized authority, and it is itn possible to persuade the differen factions to meet on common grount for th^ir own advantage in the wa; of fooil and clothing and the restor ation of law and order.

T1??* governor of North Carolina lias called a special session of the legislature to meet in July and it is beyond doubt that the Susan II. Anthony amendment will be ratified at that time. Illinois. Michigan and Wisconsin ratified the amendment ' last week, the vote in Michigan being unanimous, and only three negai live votes w ere cast in each of the | other two states. Twenty-two states , will have special sessions of the leg ; islatutes for the purpose of ratify. ' Ing the suffrage measure and five states have regular sessions next year. The leaders of the suffrage movement are anxious to have the I required two-thords of the state? 1 ratify in order that they may vote ir It he election next year. B1 The News is grossly ignorant as tc k the suffrage sentiment among the | niemucrs or me Mouth Carolina Ken eral assembly and does not feel dis ' posed to predict what tin- outcome ol ' th" vote in this body will be. It if practically certain that two-third.- ol the states, and perhaps more thar two-thirds, will ratify and it is to bt s hoped that Souh Carolina will be one ot these. The ratification of the amendment possibly will be an important factor in the selection of a I successor to the late Senator \\\ (' '| Hough. of Lancaster county, whose ie <*nt death necessitates the calliiiK of an el' "lion to (ill the vacancy.
