attempt to impart d little information
in relation to Mr. WoOlf Joel, who was
SO cruelty assassinated in South Africa

and parantage, and nephew to the late
Mr., Barney Barnato, and at the time
Of his assassination was the head of
the firm of "BarnatO Brothers" He
was only 80 years of age when he met
his tragic death. and as an indication
of his great business capacity, allow
me to state that he was one Of the
directors of thirteen large and inhu-
entail companies at the time he was
murderer.
Mr.. Joel left England in January for
the purpose of taking over the inter-
ests of the firm of "Barnato Brothers"
in South Africa as successor to Mr..
Barney BarnatO, and intended to re-
turn to London in April this year.
While busly engaged i'm Johannesburg

his office and demanded backmail to

being refused deliberately shot Mr..

Full suffrage. including the parlia-
mentary vote was conferred upon the
women of the Isle of Man i'm $780, to
the women of New Zealand i'm 1923, and
i'm 1894 the same privilege was extend
ed to the women Of South Australia.
The United states was the first of the
nations to extend the suffrage to men
upon liberal lines England rather tard-
lly following her example; but the
rapid progress Of the British govern
ment seems to Indicate that Engand
has been more ready after all to recog-
nizc the logic OF democratic principles.
II Is a timely query TO make why
English aud Irish women who are
qualified to vote In their native cOun-
tries should be disrranchiscd if they
chance to remove to the United states?
In Sweden and Norway taX-payinE wu-
men vote by proxy; it ia fair to ask
why such women i'm the United states
should enjoy less political dignity In
Iceland, Finland and in certain cleo
tiOns i'm Russia, taNpaying women may
vote directly; while i'm Prussia. West
phalia, SchlcswiE- Holstein. Austria
Bohemia, Italy and Russia the taXpay-
ing women are permitted to vote by
proxy. Surely the liberal-mindcd men
of the United states will hasten TO
share with the states of Wyoming, COL
| orado Utah and Idaho the proud dis
| tnction Of real democratic govern
mcnts which recognize the political
| opinions of all adult citizens, men and
! women alike 1t is the hope Of all the
| liberty-lovng women of this broad
| land that the men of the United States
will no longer permit the women to en-
! JOY fewer political rights than would
