NEWSPAPER OPINIONS.

The resolution for Woman Suffrage amend
ment to the State Constitution has aroused con-
siderable comment among the newspapers, and
we are glad to note that many of them are favOra-
ble to it, while but few are lukewaTm or bitterly
opposed Among those that are evidently averse
TO expressing an opinion for against it, are
surprised to find the Willamette Farmer. In its
last issue appeared notice of the ladies' ratica-
ton meeting at Salem, followed by these remarks
The ladies have evidently conducted the campaign with
and TACT and their is naturally matter for
great congrtulation their part question that

that great opposition from majority OF the women
themselves, Of the intelligent TO feel
repugnance at the proposition and have desire or more

II is matter for the profound de-
liberation, and II there a necessity for it, Woman sur
frage should be- established against
great majority o those Interested Our position has always
been that whenever the Of United
and make that desire known, the suffrage Will bee granted
them.
The Fdrmer should know that many otherwise
intelligent women are utterly ignorant of their
position before the law; that many of them are
not aware that they possess equal property rights
with men i'm Oregon, secured by the labors of the
Woman Sufiragsts; that many of them have no
knowledge of the aims of the woman movement
or the reforms that the suffragsts desire to naug
urate-yet, knowing all this our contemporary
proposes to defer the adoption of Woman Suffrage
until all these ignorant women ask to vote, not
withstanding that all the representative ladies Of
the United States are now demanding the ballot.
