HE one-day strike for women workers goes, according to heads and finances is the natura! and inevitable culmination of | of the local suffrage movement. It only remains to choose a date late in September or early in Octobe: We should have thought the publicity council of the Empire State Campaign Committee might be satisfied with the gratifying volume of comment and discussion which its proposal has aroused and leave the carrying out of its clever threat to a vague future. Whether the ladies are only playing tho idea for all it is worth as an idea, or whether they fail to see the serious side of an actual strike of the nature proposed, it is hard to say. We imagine the com- mon sense of the women workers themselves will assert itself in time ‘to prevent any realization of the plan. To ask hard-working women “to interrupt business, inconvenience the public and risk losing*their jobs is a queer way to advance either their interests or their claima, ‘There are too many others who care nothing for suffrage but care a great deal about finding work. As one of the suffrage leaders is sen- sible enough to admit: “We aren’t like labor unions and haven’t the ‘ame means of providing for our people out of work.” The right to strike is exercised in this country with a light-; mindedness already alarming enough. The euffragists are ill advised | to toy with it as ademonstration for their cause, —_— BOY SOLDIERS? AYOR MITCHEL is coming home from camp full of zeal to train boy soldiers in the public schools. The Board of Edu- cation is said to be in accord with his views, and military training may beoome part of the education of the 450,000 boys for whom the city will provide schooling this fall. Here is a movement which only moderation can save. That every echoolboy should be taught to stand straight, march, control his nerves and muscles and obey orders is obvious. These things go with physical training of any sensible sort. But that he should at an early age be made to handle a gun, wear a uniform and regard himself as an em-| bryo fighter is doubtful. Who will say that public school training of this sort would necessarily raise the standard of citizenship or etrengthen the national character? Up to eighteen the combative instinct in boys can afford to remain personal and local. Above that age is time enough to turn them to serious soldiering. +.
