V ^ r )js'. s> . * One of the questions?one of the : -V . > leading questions?that will confront 1 the present session of the legislature is that of ratifying the woman suffrage amendment to the national con Vj> titution. South Carolina occupies a unique place in the union of States. Sh? has a way of failing to follow j suit where principle is involved. That Is one of the many things that makes this a great State. As far back as the thirties South Carolina took isI'./T ' sue with the rest of the union and nullified a national law as far as l ^ South Carolina was concerned. It is not very likely that South Carolina will nullify the woman suffrage law, but it is entire^ probable that she; will never ratify it. The rest of the country seems to have been carried off its feet by the surge of the equal suffrage wave. Our prediction is that ^ the South Carolina legislature will \ stand pat and that the amendment will not be ratified, though it is our belief that the amendment will be ratified by a large majority of the States ?more than enough to put the amendment in the constitution. The South has many reasons pecul-1 iar to itself for not wanting woman suffrage. The South has no objec-! ! tion to the people of the North or the West giving the ballot to the women. It, therefore, stands on the : same principle it has for a century or more?that of regulation by individ- j ' ual States of such matters as suffrage. If the people of Massachu-; setts want woman suffrage, let them have it, by all means. If the people j of South Carolina or Alabama do not j want it, the matter should not be forced on them. The women of South Carolina do X. VNN( Bamb be re< foreF this s{ we wi *" r* T-fc 1 n m . UUL.KHK, rres. ana mg W ATa AT^ ^ ATA ATA ATA ATI ^TA ATA ATA ^ ^ *$* ^ not want the ballot. It is pure rubbish to say that they do. A handful of old maids, a few other women who have nothing else to do, and a very few very excellent women would probably* like to vote. Maybe there are ten per cent, of South Carolina women who would vote if they had the opportunity and a serious effort were made to induce them to do so. Fully ninety per cent, have not the slightest intention of ever putting their foot at the ballot box. This is a dangerous thing, enfranchising some hundred and fifty thousand white people who will not use t the ballot?who do not want the 3 ballot. We have seen the serious ; danger in the past of white men fail- ( ing to vote In tne general eiecuuus. i If the white men cannot be induced 1 to vote?as much as men love politics, how on earth shall we induce < the white women, who have little interest in political matters and actually detest political squabbles, to go to the polls? We trust to the legislature to live I j up to the South Carolina code of principles. ^ iti m> VICTOR BERGER. I The congress of the United States is not so bad as it has frequently been painted. As long as men of the stripe of Victor Berger are denied seats in congress by a vote of 228 to 6, there is little fear of soviet influences having effect on our national legislators, i Berger has been twice denied a seat I in congress. He will probably be again elected to succeed himself, and he will again be denied his seat. It seems that there is something but Deer mat maKes :vmwau&w iamwuo? i infamous, rather. A resolution has been introduced in congress forbidding Berger from ever being eligible to a place in congress. Better j still, would be to put him where he! belongs and keeps him there. In! i that case he would be unable to go to Washington. I Xo Escape. As soon as people were told to wear their last year's clothes the price of thread and clothes brushes went up.?Washinton Star.
