Besides its insistence upon Russia’s duty in the war, the United States has, in the Russian people and their problem, a deep and sympathetic interest which will never fail to express itself in the most afficient kind of help when it becomes certain where such help should applied.

T LOOKS as if the Ohio “wets” would be able to celebrate a close-won victory, but in this State returns indicating that last Tuesday’s election put as many as one hundred towns on the dry list have filled the anti-saloon forces with a new confidence and militancy, The Order of the Friends of Liquor in this city now realizes with a shudder that the triumph of woman’s suffrage in New York finds ready to hand the Hill-Wheeler local option law passed by the Legia- lature in its last session, which applies to the City of New York thusly: a. ° There shall be submitted to the qualified electors of the | City of New York at « special election to be held therein on the third Tuesday in April of any year, upon a petition being made as hereinafter provided, the following question: “Shall the City of New York have the right of local option relative to traffick- ing in Mquors, and shall such city become local option terri. tory?” The petition therefor shall be signed by qualified electors of such city to the number of 25 per centum of the votes cart in the city at the preceding general election. EO If @ majority of the votes cast upon such question be in the affirmative, such city shall become local option territory, and the local option question herein provided for ‘may be sub: i mitted at @ special city election to be held on the third Tues day in April of any year thereafter. e * To the Friends of Liquor the above suggests dryness immeasur- ably worse than its own. | For the law does not say that the petition signers must be regis-| tered voters, but only that they shall be “qualified electors,” and after | the first of January next women will be qualifed electors, Less than 170,000 signatures are needed.
