Opposition from eucb a source is, of course, the highest compliment to the women; and they doubtlese will duly appreciate and remember it. In the meantime it ie gratifying to note that, all politic and partisanship aside, the best sentiment of the country is united in the opinion that a wholesome effect may be expected from the Influence and participation of women In American elections and legislation, and that the sooner the way Ii prepared for thie, the better for the republic. Leading women in the suffragist ranks have promised for a long time that winning the ballot i not ad end but only a beginning of their political program; and when they onca are able to feel sure of themselves and their power, they are not going to atop at party lines. One ran imagine the dismay of the old-lipartisan of the male a threat as this, auch at hearing persuasion and ean understand his determination to offer it every resistance in his power On the other hand, it is exactly the kind of talk the forward-- , looking and palrlolio element In American citizenship will warmly applaud, for it contemplates a program which cannot too soon be pul into force.

BRIGHT SIDE. GREAT rart of the worry fa lhl world Ii A over cileraitiei that never happen. For (! n :: ii ii 'one thinf, the eaueei for ucb worry are often purely Imaginary. For another thing, an evil that la widely feared and against which there has been time to take precaution, is thereby frecjuenUy prevented from materializing. Observers of the trend of events in this country who have indulged themselves in a prolonged series o t shuddering! because of the outlook, are at length coming to realize the truth of the foregoing remark. They are obliged to admit that the bottom has not fallen out of business, and unlesa they are hopelessly pessimistic, they are happy to make the con- fesfion. Ones extremely apprehensive that the curtailment of the practice of extravagant purchasing would produce a dullness and cessation of trade, they new agree that while the former is distinctly and beneficially In evidence, tbe latter has rot come to pass. More business is being done than in the average yeare preceding the hectlo war period, and the kpendin power, of our. population is grctler than in pre-wtimes, though it is of late being more intelligent exercised. Transports tion Is becoming mope efficient, through the hearty acceptance, on both sides, of the terme proposed for lie rehabilitation- - Labor Is gen' ' erally feeling llsoblfgaUon to make-good,' and is literally rolling up Us sleeves to deliver a better days work. The agricultural outlook has improved wonderfully, and while the financial situation Is still descrihrhle as somewhat tight." there Is comfort In the knowledge that inflation haa been checked without impairing the proper provisions for all essential requirements. In short, all the fundamentals of national prosperity tre moving In the right direction, and confidence that the situation will continually Improve Is Justified by 11 the signs which merf study In forecasting the future.'

The Railwiy'Age, which Is In a position to analyze the subject more accurately than any other publication, speaks in a recent editorial with gratifying hopefulness concerning this marked change for the better The" reports" to which its writers have had aceesa indicate that the railroads, with the assistance of the Interstate Com' merce Commission and of many, of the shippers,, have not only overcome to a large extent the effect of the- - switchmen's strikes-whic- h began in April but that they have now turned the corner ami are showing a commendable improvement. The accumulations of cars at terminals la excess of current movement had been reduced by July 30 to 90,571, or less than the total Inherited from the government railroad administration, as compared with 283,000 after two weeks of the strikes in April; tbe car shortage is being reduced and' the volume of freight handled, while still below that of the war year 1918, is ihowlng steady gains over 191?nd.in July was greater than in June. There is no agency or industry in the whole country on which tbe national welfare so much depends as adequate transportation. Without it, every other industry dwindles, and every community suffers. No news could be more welcome, therefore, than that which implies the clearing up of the recent railway congestion, the improvement in tbe car supply, and especially the better understanding In the labor situation, without which last the condition would be indeed serious and would get worse as the year advances Into Its climatic decline. - -- what la locally called the American platf are turning toward Youngstown, Ohio, where contractors have declared R1,1?.1', ahoprwf and notwifhiUndfag strike, past, present and probably yet to come, propose to hold their ground and stand a vigorous test of the new policy.. This attitude on the part of the employers Is largely due. to the action "of tocat Journeymen plumbers who are. on. a. strike, demanding per hQyr,. and. 3the master offered $1.18 by refusing plumbers. Union "workmen of other crafts declare they --will not . work with brf alt building' at ash s threatened, the - result of which, ;f it materializes, will be that this noted manufacturing center will .see construction operations ' postponed indefinitely. Information from Youngstown states that high construction cost, attributed largely to abnormally high wages, has already occasioned a serious falling off in building 6f all kinds; If there is a general strike, the city will experience whtt, Chicago has been passing through of late. Numerous strikes and labor' troubles .generally, coupled with the high range of wages, hive; cut the Windy .Citys prospective building plans in two, throwing so many people out f employment thel the population has suffered an Important reduction, and where once apartments could hardly be had for love or money, they are now plentiful by reason of previous tenants having left town to look for work elsewhere. This is not an unmixed evil, by the way, for those who remain, as landlords have found it necessary, in consequence, to reduce rentals in order to secure tenants. Nevertheless, abridgement f the important and extended industries' f a great city like Chicago, or a busy place like Youngstown, is sur to compel a migration f many Industrial workers and ether people dependent on the manufacturing industries, to titer fildsr and in most communities this means a loss that may cripple them for some time to come.
