WOXSIVE. Republicans wanted office and
eonght power, but apparently they
are unwilling to accept and . dis
charge responsibilities. This fact is
made abundantly manifest to all who
read the pleas and plaints that have
come from Republican leadership
in Congress following the President's
latest message, As a minority In the
last CorsrfM, these Bame Republi
cans were persistent but not al
ways consistent critics of President
Wilson's fialure to recommend tasks
and courses of legislation. As a
majority In the present Congress
they begin thelrcareers as critics of
his proposals for the very enact
ments they previously demanded.
These leaders of 'a majority that
has taken control of Congress expect
the President to retain the initiative
and accountability for all that Is
done by way of passng new or re
calling old laws. They teeek to con
tinue their role of critics of bis per
formances Instead of being them
selves performers. They have wail-
.ed for Bix years that the President

Yet, at the moment when power is
In their keeping, they decry the
President for exacting of theui the
duties that go with their dominance.
It was charged that the President
had failed to offer any suggestions
for the disposition of the railroads,
the telephones and the telegraphs.
It was lamented that he had . no
nlans for reducing taxation. It was

President Wilson has recommend

for industrial reforms. He shows
the way to make constructive
changes in the tariffs. He has re

of the parties would be equal. If,
instead of a majority, the Republi
cans had but a parity of votes in that
branch of Congress, legislation upon
the momentous internal problems
that must soon be solved might eas

. The Senate's action and decision
in this contest will be of the utmost
eoncern to the country, which wants
a continuance of the progressive
tendencies which characterized the
Democratic Congresses of the last
eight years; It will be of importance
to Mr. Ford, who furnishes evidence
that he was beaten by illegal means
and methods; it will be of signifi
cance to the Senate, which must
have some thought of preventing a
taint upon its membership.
The passage by the United States
House of Representatives of the
suffrage constitutional amendment
has reminded somebody of a bit of
history which, oddly, seems to have
been overlooked in previous discus
sion of this much-studied question.
Abraham Lincoln, it appears, spoke
for feminine suffrage several years
before the first woman suffrage con
vention in the United States was held
at Seneca Falls, New York. The con
vention met in July, 1838. In 1836
Lincoln was a candidate for the Illi
nois House of Representatives, and
declared in his platform, "I go for
all sharing the privileges of govern
ment who assist in bearing its bur
dens. Consequently I go for admit
ting alt whites to the right of suf
frage who pay taxes or bear arms, by
no means excluding females." Lin
coln thus declared himself a pioneer
in the movement which now virtual
ly achieves Its end in the action of
the national Legislature. Christian

AJtH SENATE SEATS FOH SALE?
In Its disposition of Henry Ford's
contest of the election of Truman II
Newberry of Michigan. . the United
States Senate has an opportunity as
plain as Its duty to decide, whether
large and lavish, if not renrehensi
ble, expenditure of money la enough
to give title to a Beat in that branch
of Congress: whether violations of
the law- such as are charged are
to be condoned by a body whose
"unction it is to frame laws.
There is no denlaT that Mr New
berry's apparent plurality at th
polls was obtained by the use of very
large sums of money. The law limits
the personal expenditures by or on
behalf of senatorial candilatoa to
$10,000. It Is admitted thAt there
was ah outlay ot $178,000 iu Mr.
Newberry's primary campaign alone
There la evidence for the presump
tion that an even bigger amount waa
used in furthering bis election.
Mr. Ford has a right to demand
from the Senate a guarantee that a
candidate who respects and obeys
the law ahall not be defeated by an
opponent in whose Interest le law
is Ignored and violated. Thre is,
obviously. Involved In this contest a
rtore important consideration than

is the question whether such braten
