| Mrs. Evcrhard of Massillon, president
of the Ohio Woman Suffrage Association,
| on Tuesday issued the following an
nounccment: "The women of Ohio have
taken hold and demonstrated that wo-
men can enter politics successfully and
without loss of dignity or self-respcct.
! The experience of one campaign has set
| tied the school suffrage issue for all time
| to come. We are now looking into the
future, hopeful of adding to our present
privileges, and in the good time TO come of
sharing political responsibility equally
with men. ] think that u will be u
number of years before any material
change Is made i'm our political condition.
| 1t is not true that we propose to ask for
municipal suffrage at the hands of the next
general assembly. Under the present
constitution the power of the legislature
| is very limited. We shall offer bill at
| the next session, but 1T will be in the
nature Of an amendment TO the existing
| law.
The Horse and Sporting News, pub
lished at Detroit, says: "Therc is no
brighter equine statistician in the country
than the gentleman who conducts the
horse department of the Canton Evening
News. "

The song of the sparrow Is still the
strongest surface indication Of returning
spring. Only few days ago woodland
ponds still bore a coating of stout ice,
diminished snow drifts still fingered in
shady spots, and much of the soil was
frozen The first blossom to appear was,
as usual, the skunk cabbage. Its purple
dotted, tusk-likc cone has been in sight for
some days and has been slowly un-
folding that the earliest bees may reach
and fertile the blossom. One easily
gucsscs that they are not fastidiOus in the
matter Of odurs, since the skunk cabbage
fully deserves its name. 1t is plain that
the spring beauty is again TO be the first
of the really beautiful blossoms to appear,
for lust beneath the russell surface of the
woodland these plants lies in thousands,
the leaves still pale yellow from lack OF
sunlight, and the blossoms yet shut tight
and shapClcss. Niolcts whose leaves have
been green all winter, show no flower
buds, and the hcpatica is still shy, Its
buds in embryo hidden at the hairy heart
of the plant. The dog tooth violet has
not yet shown above ground the liver
colored tightly rolled cones that justify
its name. Moss beds crossed with deli
cate lines of the pigeon berry crcepcr are
} surviving winter decoration.
