It is doubted if, in the great re- cent struggles in the railway and coal and other disputes, the Parliamentary Party has been any strength whatever- to the labor cause. Some say it has been an actual weaknese. There has been a die- Perroon of energy, at least. Parliaments are conservative and are so bound about by forms and procedure and interests that they furnish a moderately slow way of securing certain kinds of re- form. This is but to say that reform muet come from the people, that it results only from the pressure of public opinion.

Parliaments. Lesson For Suffragists. Similarly some students of the Women'S Suffrage Movement are convinced that there are many methods of influence other than the vote which offer much easier re- sults to the Suffragist's. Apart from the abstract Claim of eon -laity with males, the only ground for advocating votes for wo- men is the influence the new voters would have on legislation. Whethera say in the selection of Parliaments is the most effective way of influencing such legiela- tion seems to be a question. The exper- ience of the Labor Movement in this re- gard will be interesting to the Suffragists. ' Where Labor Rules. In Australia -and New Zealand they are doing things differently. In politics, there, Labor has things its own way.

Governments do things ae a mat- ter of course in Australia that would be regarded as rank Socialism here or in Europe. _ One may have been surprised to observe that it was the Labor GoVernment in Aus- tralia which inaugurated compulsory military training and which began the establishment of a navy, for in these parts labor unions aro generally .in the fore- front of Peace celebrations.
