A STRONG ENDORSEMENT
Woman Suffrage In Municipal Elections
Heartily Approved.


We arc gravely and in solemn form
advised. all the way from the capital OF
the State OF Kansas. by the Governor
thereof, and the attorney-general, and
the chief justice. with two of his assoc
ciates, says the Philadelphia Ledger.
that woman suffrage in municipal elec-
tions In the cities and towns of that
State has proved to be a great public
benefit. and for that reason these Off
Gals advise other States to adopt 1t.
They have done entirely right by maxi
ing this fact known to their fellow
countrymen OF the United States. and
yet it should not have required any Of
fetal certificate to vouch such an OBJ
vious fact any more than 1t required
Hamlet's fathers ghost to come from
the sepulcher. wherein his bones had
been quietly Injured, to tell part OF the
story he divulged. We should think
there could be no sort OF doubt that
the votes OF women would improve the
quality Of school directors, school com-
missioners, school trustees, school con-
trollers and the like; and that equally
there could be no question that they
would SO influence the choice ofmayors,
councilmen and similar officials, hav-
ing to do with the levying OF taxes and
the expenditure of municipal moneys.
as TO improve the character Of such Of
ficials. Kansas has tried the expert
ment and has found the benefit We
do not doubt it ourselves 1t is very
significant commentary upon the
justice OF our suffrage laws. that a
woman property owner who is the real
head of the family, and who has sons
whom she supports, shall have no voice
in the administration OF the schools,
for the support of which she pays
taxes-Or in the election Of the council-
men who expend those taxes-while
her idle sons, who devote themselves to
the saloons, TO delegate elections, and
to other forms of practical politics,
do have votes and do compass the cleo

often see in municipal governments 1t
is matter for surprise, too, that the
questions in which women are far more
deeply and vitality interested than men,
are submitted exclusively to men, the
women having no voice in matters that
either make or destroy the happiness OF
their homes and their lives Who can
doubt that If the question Of obliterat-
ing the liquor traffic from the State
were submitted to all the citizenship OF
Pennsylvania-including the women as
well as the men-there would be a
single saloon left open in the State,
from the Delaware to the Ohio or from
tho New York boundary to Mason and
Dixon's line? Not one would be left.
If the people-that is, all the adult cit
liens of both sexes-were admitted to
vote upon that question; and yet that is.
the only way upon which the sense OF
the people of Pennsylvania all the
people-can be taken on that vital
issue"
