That 3s to say, these folks have been convinced that the governor can order an election on any subject at any time -that may suit his fancy. Of course there is not a word of in this statement. The governor Is an executive officer purely He neither make nor alter law. He cannot compel the legislature to obey Ms desires and he ib unable to do by edict what the legislature refuses to by law. He can advise the lawmakers of his opinions and beliefs; he can urge them to enact legislation giving the people power to settle such questions as the liquor by their votes, but if law- anakers decline to follow his suggestions, he has no more authority to nact the desired law than the hum- citizen.

It might be true that if Governor Brumbaugh could make laws or order elections, he would speedily have the of the several counties voting the question of local prohibition But since he is the servant of the constitution and not a maker of IP we must do what we can and then depend upon the force of public opinion persuade members of the general assembly to enact the desired legislation. And it is grossly unjust for THEIR PRIVILEGE "The Eemonstrance" is the title of a quarterly published by the Massachusetts Association opposed to the Further Extension of Suffrage to Women. We are told that it expresses the views: of women in Massachusetts; Maine, Raode Island, New York, Ibwa Pennsylvania, Michigan, Connecticut, Maryland, New Hampshire, Vermont New Jersey, Wisconsin, Ohio, Virginia and other states. The Daily Independent never has openly and avowedly espoused the Woman Suffrage policy, but if it were making a suggestion as to law, there would be a decided movement in the direction of disfranchising all--both men and women--who show themselves unfit for the ballot nr uninterested in national, state or municipal affairs. But there is little likhhood that such restrictions of the ballot will occur And we confess that any Association opposed to the Further Extension of Suffrage leaves a bad taste in our mouth, especially if it is composed of women It reminds one of the Democratic negroes of early clays.
