A New* Franchise-



Queensland proposes to try an interest* ing electoral experiment, borrowed from Belgium. The Bill to amend the Parlta* mentary Elections Acb extends franchise to women, forbids plumping, and sanctions voting by post. Its most striking feature, however. Is that ib gives two rotea to every man who is the father of at leas. fcwo children born in lawful wedlock fn Queensland. The father of a family, it li contended, has a graver and more enduring interest in the State, and contributes mora to it, than a bachelor, who creates no home and takes no roob in the soil, and who may be a very shifting and unreliable human atom in the body politic. Tha Australian States, like all modern democ racies, are bull- on unlverslal suffrage. That system is as inevitable a feature of a modern democracy as gravitation Is of the physical universe ; and It Is to be justified on the ground that it is political education for every adult in the population. Every citizen ought to have a stake in 'the com* raunity ; but ib Is Idle to Bay that evetyone has at. equal stake in it. The franchise which gives what is practically a vote to the family, as well as to the individual has many excellent reasons in Us favour, and lb certainly works well in Belgium. It wi'l be interesting to find how the experl' ment fares in Australia.
