The ote stood 128 in the affhmative to til in the neg ative, or nearly two to one in favor of equal suffrage. It is pieelicted that the Senate will also adopt the lesolution. Then if the next Legislature is in favot of equal suffiage. the amendment will be submitted to the oteis in Novembei, 1921, for their appioal and the popular majonty will hae it1- way That is as it should be. In the meantime the suffi agists will continue their campaign at Washington in behalf of the Susan 13.

STKAYER, of the teachers' college of Columbia Cniver slty, is the kind of man that should be appointed as superintendent of public in struction for this state He is a Pennsylvania!! b.v birth. He attended Bucknell Univeis'itj, in thi--state. He has devoted his life to teach ing and to the study of educational meth ods. He is iccognued by school men throughout the count! y as one of the best qualified educational experts this generation has produced. He is the type of man this newspaper had in mind when, after the death of Supeiintendcnt Schaef fer, it discussed the importance of secui ing as his successor a man fitted to canv on the work on the foundations Iuul by the man who had just died. But the state cannot command the services of a man like Doctor Stiaycr ,wKs unless it pays him a salary fitted to the !. responsibilities which he is supposed to ;T r' bear.

HIGHBINDERS IN DIPLOMACY OFFER US A PARTNERSHIP! A Separate Alliance Including the United States Would Help, Not Hinder, International Thuggery TX'AR emotionalism is n wot Id disease. It has blinded multitudes in America and in Euiope. It makes clear thinking diilicult or impossible to millions. The ignorant scntimentalism of newfangled hyphenates has already confused the heart-breaking tasks of the American delegates at Paris. And the disastrous nature of its leactions is vividly levcaled in the talk of sectet or semisecret alliances that has been filling the air dui mg the last two days. It is clcai that immense piessuic has been bi ought to bear upon Sir. Wilson to force him into agreements of a sort sug gested to bind Gieat Britain, Fiance and the United States into a new Triple Alliance within the league of nations. The scheme as it h: aheady been tenta tively outlined actually has found some suppoit in this countiy. Theie are otherwise icasonable men and women who aie willing to peimit the emotions of an hour to affect decisions that inevitably will affect the destinies of the United States for a centuiy to come We aie asked to pledge ourselves to the defense of Kiance and to independent co-opointion with Great Hutain. From the viewpoint of the European diplomat ists of the old school this anangement, lather than any lational system of hu mane co-operation among nations, pie sents the only solution to piescnt diffi culties. The league of nations itself is clearly to be lcgaided as a mere bit of iococo ornamentation on the face of the situation. Those statesmen who aie unreconciled to a humane view, who have been untem pered thiough the fire, aie plotting night and day for this ultia-practical anange ment. Line up the great power, continue the conquest of the Hun, talk idealism but practice f 01 ce that is the program of the obstructionists at Paris. And it is a piogram to which all the emotionalists and the hymn-of-hateis in this country have been lending gallant aid. Mr. Lansing is said to favor the plan and Colonel House is lepoitcd as willing to consnlei it senously. Until denials come fiom both of the-e delegates it will seem to everv sane American that Mr. Lansing cannot return too quickly to Watertown, N. Y and that Teas rathei than Fiance is the place in which Colonel Hotie can do the most good. The simple tact of a new and independ mt alliance ol poweiful nations would m.-tantly implv .1 new and opposing alliance of nations ambitious for self pi otectiou and piestige. The wmld itself will be split wide open if new alliances eve 1 assume to dominate the woild Without the univeisal co opc lation of all peoples. Theie is a inle that inns thiough all lift ; it is as appal ent in biology as it is 111 woild politics and human ivpeiunce that one destioying foice invaiiablv calls another destioying fotco into being to make vvai upon it. It wi'.l not do in this instance to con fuse the claims of Emopean peace dele- gates w ith tile desires o! the peoples they aie piesumed to lepiesent. roi the poli cies of the old woild governments aie not directed by the people. Such policies aie foi mul.ited and exalted as national philosophie- by the class-conscious poli ticians, tmaneieis and industiial priva teeis with an itch for foieign-tiade do minion and the spoils of exploitation in undeveloped oi di fense'eSs aieas of the ct ith. I he influence of such gioups, not the ambition.s of the common people of luiope, has clone much to hinder and baflle the men who aie tiymg to evolve a livable peace out of the political chaos 111 the old woild. Whin theie is talk of a new alliame to include the United States as a unit with France, England and Italy we have oiilv to wondei what these unseen forces would do in the futuie if they felt tha then adveiituies and escapades in tiade expansion and political conquest weie to have the suppoit and piestige of a vir- tuallv uiiDeataoie alliance : is it to tie doubted that we should inevitablv become involved in the process of intiigue and jostling that piecedes all intei national conflicts and find ourselves at the begin ning of a nightmare of militaiism? It is plain that these closing daya of the Peace Confeiencc have involved the culminating tests of President Wilson's patience and strength. Those who know him will icfuse to believe that even under the stiess of unthinkable burdens, with alternatives that appear hardly less ter rible than win itself, he has agieed to give suppoit to any scheme of sepaiate alliances. The American people will be content with no agi cements that are not plainly wiitten out and understandable to all men. Mr Wilson's policy has been based fiom the first upon some such conviction as this. If there in to be an alliance, it will have to be a universal alliance promising jus tice and safety for all people. If that universal alliance cannot be made in the form of the league of nations as it was proposed, then the President and his col leagues had better leave Paris, return home and admit that our costly adventure in behalf of humanity has failed utterly. If Mr. Wilson fails, there can be only chaos and anarchy all over Europe and a eradual return to the corruption and igijprance , and, brutality thai flourished unfer wiyf,ijww irym utentyv; 5 ; J u . 1; - 'Jv..7r r ' -7.?,. rl .. lf.

The men who are willing to face this appalling alternative aie the old world politicians at the Paris conference, who nre willing to sacrifice all the hopes of mankind to insure to themselves, their parties and their friends a few years of additional power. We have manifested oui sense of biotherhood with the Allied peo ples. Yet this does not mean that we shnll be compelled to shure in the blind and disastrous schemes of the politicians who misiepresent them. It would be bet ter for the woild to let 1 evolutions sweep out the governments of Europe, if by that means the future world can be spaied the menuce of new coalitions led by men who in the past have shown themselves to be hopelessly predatory. File is at least cleansing. If the Peace Conference has shown an) thing, it has shown that a process of delousing cannot be inaugurated too soon in some of the European chancelleries. The people of the United States would properly regard the failuic of the Ameri can policies at Paris as a disaster. If theie can be no league of nations, wc shall have to face a dismal outlook. All the futuie will be clouded with unceitainty. There will be new wars in Europe. Our losses, hopes and sacrifices will be in vain. Wc may be driven to continued isola tion nnd a career of military preparation almost as costly as war itself. Yet all this would he preferable to our co operation with other nations in a system of reasoning that made war after war and catastrophe after catastrophe inevit able to all nations that have ever prac ticed if. We aie invited now to join in the pie use soit of entangling alliances that all the founders of American government warned against. And to all those abroad or at home who urge that sort of thing there ought to be only one answer. We ought to tell them what the Amencan commander of the "Lost Battalion" told the Huns who demanded his sunender! JOY WITHOUT ALCOHOL rpiIE question of what will succeed the -'- saloon as a social center when the pro hibition amendment becomes operative leceives a very practical answer in the ideals and methods of the Old Saint Paul's Club, which last evening crowned its year's good work with the impressive annual ceiemony of conferung emblems of perseverance in abstinence from in toxicants. The gold medal for five v ears' clear lecoid was conferred on six members and other insignia, ranging fiom the blue button for a year's faithfulness to the silver for four years' persistence, ic warded a still larger number. The club is not a prohibition society nor an "uplift" organization in the usual sense of the tcim. It is a self-sustaining association of men with a common pur pose for the encouiagcment of sobriety. Unlike some tempeiance institutions, it is not a scrap heap but a repair shop, with the understood mission of helping men addicted to the liquor habit to play a large, even the essential, part in their own redemption from temptation. "Gos pcling," card-indexing of "cases" and devices thatpiovokc lesentment aie alien to its purposes. Its nethod is that of personal encouiagcment leading to indi vidual discipline and responsibility, operating thiough the effective mass mo -ale of a group based on community o," inteiest in se'f-help and helping otheis. The Old Saint Paul's Club, over nearly a decade, has pmved to thousands of men that they can enjoy sociability in a con genial environment with helpful asso ciates without the factitious cheer of alcohol and that wink enjoying good fel lowship they can become lich in self lespect. The proof is that its monibcis cleave closelv to the club ovet the veais and seldom fall away to the fancied fasci nations of the saloon.
