There is a far more widespread in
terest in politics among the women
of England than among their sisters
on this side of the Atlantic. The
smart set in London all take an active
part in affairs. There is a Tory wo-
mans club in the English capital
known as the Primrose Danes, and a
more serious body, the Womens Lib
eral Federation, makes its influence
felt in constituencies. Then there
are large numbers of women who do
not register under any banner, but
they can be counted upon to forward
such political questions as appeal TO
them.

An oath of Office has usually con-
servative influence. Administrators
hesitate to do what they would freely
do as private citizens. Running for
office, on the contrary, sometimes
seems to make men throw prudence

with the oiIice-seeking mania might
sober himself by thinking of what, II
elected. he Will promise before God to
be and perform.

The Taft commission has appointed
a supervisor who in short time will
begin to take census of the Philip
pine Islands. The purpose is not only
to determine more accurately the num-
Der of Inhabitants, but also to discover
the mineral and agricultural POSSIBLE

prevail in the islands. Those emu
merators who think they had hard
time gathering facts for the census
Just completed in this country will
sympathize with the enumerators in
the Philippines, where there are 81
tribes, speaking nearly as many dla-
lects, and where many of the natives
still have their mausers and thelr bo-

A. r. Julian was a preacher at Cha

estimation of his flock he was doing
good work, but was unable to reach
his own ideal of what pastor should
be. Therefore he bought newspaper
which he ran in vigorous, clean style
for over two years. And now, feeling
confident that his editorial experience
has left him better fitted for pulpit
eering. he has sold his paper and will

Al. r. o
Organism challenged boldly the san
ity OF the American people.
It assumed that they had lost their
pride in their country. in its glorious
history, In It's unequaled present, in Its
certain promise OF bountlful future.
It took for granted that the old spirit
Of patriotism which made the Union,
which had been the strong rock OF de-
tense in time Of peril, was dead beyond
resurrection. 1t took to Itself the COM
forting thought that the American peo-
pie do not understand their own bread
and-butter interests.
Organism did not understand the
American people. This was It's fatal
blunder. Not understanding. 1t was easy
to get itself wrong on every vital issue.
The people OF this self-respecting.
. misunderstanding land have answered
for all time the challenge thrown down
by Organism. and that .job-lot assert
ment OF political herrsies has been scat
tered to the four winds OF heaven by the
robust manhood OF this young giant
among the nations.
The American people have seized this
latest opportunity TO vIndlcate their
sanity. To-day all the world knows
that this country Is sound on every
question that can touch Its Just pride,
Its historic patriotism or It's business
Interest. The result of the contest at
the polls proves conclusIvely that in
this land there Is sound mind In a
sound body.
The. American people have shown
once more that they understand the
business Of self-government. With this
point settled. there Is nothing to fear.
The future. under the guiding hand OF
Providence. Is absolutely assured. Every
man may build for the morrow in the
full confidence that his house will stand
on the solid rock OF the Nations un-
furnished faith and unsullled honor.

Women as Voters.

Women voted In four states Of the
Union yesterday for President. In Ida
no they voted for the first time. but In
Colorado, Utah and Wyoming they
voted once before. so the presence OF the
fair sex at the polls will be no novelty
there. The extension of the suffrage
to women is no new thing in many
other states. where they have exercised
that privilege at elections for school
commissioners and other local offices.
The sentiment for woman suffrage is
growing, and we see no reason why 1t
should not continue to grow. 1t is a
well known fact that the ballot would
be much safer in the hands OF women
than in the hands Of large portion of
male suffragists. who fearfully misuse
the privilege.
1t must not be conjectured, however,
that all the womer In those states
which entitle them to vote take advan-
tage Of the opportunity. 1t Is stated
on excellent authority that all of the
four states in which female suffrage
has been adopted only 4 comparatively
small proportion OF the women take
any real interest in politics. Fifty
per cent of the female popula-
ton of the proper age may cast
4 vote, but the great majority will
choose the candid It, their male rela-
tives or male friends favor, and will
vote for them for that reason alone.
There will be few votes proportionate-
ly in which the wife's vote will not
count in favor of her husbands party
and the unmarried woman's man friend
who just at this time may be dearer
than brother.
Fifty per cent of the female popula-
ton will in fact be a large estimate of
the women voters In the four female
suffrage states, If the male politicians
judge correctly. Political women.
even In the west, form very small
minority Of the sex. and there is 4
much large number OF women who are
opposed TO female suffrage, and accord
40 W bACSSHl hiSICSltlu!S always Will
be. These women believe that their
sex has no business TO interfere In pol
itics at all, and they steadfasuy de-
cline to 80 to the polls to vote for any
body, holding that woman's true sphere
is at home and the responsibility for
deciding the policy of the nation should
be mans. Between these and the wo-
men In public life who demanded and
obtained the suffrage for their sex
there are those who voted four years
ago. and now that the experience Is no
longer a novelty think 1t isn't SO much
after all.
That Is one way TO look ut 1t. But,
like all Innovations, 1t will take time to
educate the woman In their new found
rights. Perhaps there are some women
who would vote just 3s they wear new
bonnet. and weary OF 1t after It Is worn
few times, but there may come a time
when 1t will be as much their duty to
cast ballot as 1t is to rock a cradle
because In that ballot may lie the fu-
turc safety OF the child. Greater re-
forms have been accomplished after be-
Ing long held up to dcrlsIon. This ls a
remarkably progressive country.
