Woman Nunrage in Fact.

The governor and several other state
officers of Kansas have published state
ment declaring that woman suffrage is
success. 1t has been demonstrated
ID That women will vote.
(2) That good women will vote.
go That the evils predicted if women
should vote, viz. that they would neglect
home duties, etc., have not visited Kansas
yet. although that state has had three
years of woman suffrage.
The way to prove that women won't
vote is moi to give them chance.
Good women have as much interest in
good government as good men, and they
will exercise themselves to secure whole
some laws and see them enforced where
their votes count as much as any other
citizens.
Almost every day brings news from some
quarter that women, for one reason or
other, are throwing of their ancient leth-
argy and asserting their right to be heard
in matters concerning themselves and their
children, and many women in the highest
circles in England have taken sides on the
question of granting the parliamentary
franchise to their sex. For fourteen years
or more certain classes of women have
possessed municipal suffrage in Great
Britain.
Woman suffrage may not come with a
rush, but it is coming.
