(The 'Nation,' New yolk.) In the 'Evening Post' recently a letter from a correspondent att Rom dealt with the results of the recent general election in Italy, as conducted under the -provisions of the new man- hood sutferage law. That law at a stroke crested a larger new electorate than has arisen in any country daring the present generation. This does not exclude such broad measures of En• franehisrmeot as the enactment of universal suffrage in Austria in 1907, or the establishment of constitutional government in Russia, China, or Tur- key, if we have in mind the restrictions under whish the suffrage is conferred and exercised in the latter countries. By granting the vote to illiterates above the age of thirty the new Venom law increased the out. ber of voters from about 3,000,000 to more than 8,000,000. It was presumably for tactical reasons that Premier Qiolitti determined upon a change of such magnitude that even the parties formally:ma record for universal offs. - age were alarmed as to the possible consequences. But the actual outcome of the elections shows no stupendous change. A shrewd politician like Giolitti found himself badly deceived. His strength in Parliament fell nearly 20 per cent. The Socialists increased, their strength by nearly two-thirds. The Catholics, abandoning their policy of abstention, only added thirteen votes to their original twenty-one. The expected political revolution foil• ed to come off. The first results of universal suffrage in Italy should help to explain the counter -current to political action which has manifested itself so notably among advanced radicals in Europe and, to a certain extent, in this coun- try. While the Social -Democrats in Ptussia, are struggling for the establish- ment of democratic suffrage in that Junker-ridden kingdom ; while the Belgian people have resorted to the drastic expedient of a general strike to win equal representation for the work- ing.elasses ; while Italy has dared the risk of a vast illiterate voting mass in deference to the abstract principle of equality ; while, the world over, the woman's movement in battling for an unprecedented extension of the fran- chise, there has appeared In Frener, in Eng'and, and elsewhere a revolu- tionary movement which asserts the futill! y of political action. The argu- ment of the anti-politicals is that the extension of the suffrage does not bring results worth while. The elec torate is broadened, but the elements to control of government maintain themselves. The more the 'apparent balance of power shifts the more it is the same. Whether threw million Italians have the vote, or eight mil- lions, door not affect the general course of'progress. excem$N'f SBRVICB TO $t. JOHN, N,B., AND HALIFAX, N. S.

By that test universal suffrage will often find it difficult to justify itself. It is not wise, on the whole, for the advocates of woman suffrage in th's country to lay so much stress on what has been accomplished for progress in the States that have given women the vote, Frequently their contentions are challenged. Sometimes their claims are exaggerated. Sometimes the opponents of woman suffrage counter upon them by citing similar triumphs for progress. in States that hese failed to adopt woman suffrage. The plea for the vote as a measure of expediency is weaker than the plea for it as ultimate social value. Macau- lay'e argument still rerirains valid : to swim one must enter the water. To learn how to vote roust practice vot- ing. Lowe's historic sneer, after one of the English Reform bills, about the necessity of educating our masters really went to the heart of the ques- tion. What Lowe did not or would not see is that the suffrage itself was the inevitable educator of the newly enfranchised classes. Education, th t is, in the broad sense of compelling th ani to enter into active political life, to develop di mends, and in enloreiing those demands to develop self -con- e siousr;ess9, responsibilities, leaders ; to win victories and suffer defeats; to make themselves a part of the organ- ism of the state. In the long result the enfranchise ment of a numerous class does bring great changes ; but then it is the very condition of Iife that during great stretches of time great changes shall occur. For the present it is enough to recognize that radicalelectoral re- forms do not produce imtuediate re- volutions. In England of today the question is hotly diecussed. On the one hand, there ie the opinion we have referred to which asserts that, in spite of suffrage extensions, the e gantry is governed today by caste anti. clique, even ae it was govern d leader the Whig oligarchy of three- q tatters of a century ago. This is the belief of militant radioaie, from Tom Mann to G. X. Chesterton. • Oa the other hand, there is Mr. Bonar Law sadly acknowledging that the ultimate power to -day is in the hands of the English working classes, Over -state- ments both : labor in England is not master and not slave. Labor has simply been scoring gains and suffer- ing disappointments.
