Iowa as Suffrage Field.

Speaking of the choice of Iowa by
the suffragists as the center of their
fight for equal suffrage, the Chicago
Times Herald says;
More favorable rallying ground
could not be selected. If the cause of
equal suffrage will not take root in the
soil OF Iowa 1t is useless to try to prop
agate IL elsewhere Iowa is populated
by progressive and Intelligent people.
The percentage OF illiteracy. according
to the census of 1880, was 3.6. which
was lower than that of any other state
in the Union, except Nebraska and
Wyoming. Iowa has within its boun-
daries a large number of cities which
are centers of business thrift, culture
and educntion. In public and private
educational institutions the state oc
cupies front rank among western COM
monwealths. In its 23 colleges 1t has 4i0
instructors and 6S37 students. 1t has
more school-teachers than any other
state in the Union with the single ex-
ception of New York state. According
to the statistIcian of the United States
bureau OF education. 1t has 2s,121 teach
ers. with 54s,ob2 enrolled pupils.
'If acceptance of the theory that
woman's suffrage Is necessary to the
perpetuity of our institutions depends
upon education and the spread of pop
ular intelligence. as its advocates
claim, the proposition could not be sub
mitted to more friendly tribunal than
the voters Of the Hawkeye common
wealth. In politics the people of Iowa
have a reputation for weighing public
questions intelligently, conservatively
and judiciously.If they are permitted BY
the legislature to vote upon the pro-
posed amendment to the state consti-
tuition, we may he assured that their
verdict will represent careful and con-
scientious investigation. In selecting n
battle-ground for the fight that is to
be made preliminary to n national con-
test the women have chosen wisely.
peal to submit the question to a vote
of the people. That is all the advocates
of equal suffrage as asking for at this
time. The verdict of no other state in
the Union will command such respect
from the nation as the verdict of
Iowa"
