And so to- day, men in England are outnumbered by the appalling count of two full millions. Far from being a joke, the result of this condition is fast becoming! an issue in the affairs 'of the country The age limit for women votersha been set at thirty years, ever since the suffragettes re~ceivedI the franchis~e, but now a movement is afoot to lower~ it to twenty-one-that of the' m n. Many political leaders fear that with. the two sexes on an equal footin~g politically, that the two million~ ma- j ority of the "women will enable thema to pass anything, and a much-feared "pytticoat"' administration will ensue. While this hardly seems probable, as the issue is never man vs. woman, but rather Liberal vs. Conservative or Laborite, still, it is a problem on which Britishers may ponder. Socially, the over-preponderance of he women is leadinig to a decline in morality that British reformers are Sept busy fighting. Many English girls do not expect to be married- there are not enough men to go around. A man in England is in de- wmand, and the 'competition is keen. Every year in England is more thatn equal to an American leap year. Economically, this unnatural state of affairs has caused more and 'more positions formerly held by men to be turned over to women. The war con-' tributed much to this movement, but1 The faculty adviser of Denizens, $ who is interested in making Mr. 1 Brimm's play a success, suggested that w.v ruil the. 'title .

As ,to Mr,.. Gompers, we have differed with him and 'liked himt, becausie. we believe him to be a ;good citizen with, a very large share indeed of real good sense. When, however, he touches, or the Federation in its state-1 ment touches, the Supreme Court of the United States, we ask him to re- member what we have credited him in this respect of good sense, It is our duty to express a decided doubt whether Mr. Gompers, with his experience, with his knowledge and with his character, really wishes the Federal Constitution amendea so that ''by a two-thirds vote Congress m~ay, validate a law which the Supreme Court has declared unconstitutional:"' These matters of lab~or are fundament- ally social in their nature; they, are not political, in the common m:ap-: ing of the word. Would Mr. Gompers jthrow a quete t .' f social betterment into the maw o i~oitics? That is what would happen were such an amend- ment added to the Constitution. If 'he or his associates ar~e painting 'a pic- ture wh~erein sll b4e portrayed labor suffering from a conspiracy At the hands of the majority of the people and the Supreme Court, we can onlyj say, "Forget it." He knows that t I will not be a ,true picture.' We are sure that Mr. Gompers would not have immigration regulated! by treaty rather than by ,act of Con-1 press, yet suppose that the Supreme Court Were. to' insist that the power~ of. Congress were paramount in this~ repc;would Mr. Gompers care' much" W q tetfere with the great tribtinal?1 Wehere reflect on no party in, Con-' '. ress,. but ;we. aiot, belivethat, any! well-balanced man in the Federation of'ta 6i'or i' th feAeit 'events before his eyes could persuade 'lhl4elf tha~t at constitutional question, would~ bell handled, by ,Congress with a-, view, "alone to principles of constitutionalf law and jurisprudence.
