SENATOR WILLIAM i. STONE, of Mis-
souri,, in discussing the democratic ma
tional platform for 1904, says;
II never did see a democratic plat
form which did not, in my judgment,
contain some things that ought to have
been left out, and which left OUT some
things that ought to have been put in.
But always take the platform and stand
upon it, because, as whole, l have
always believed democratic platforms to
be right, and because they represent the
consensus of party opinion"
This has the true democratic ring, and

EXTRA SESSION IMPROBABLE
President Roosevelt may not be in
Washington much after this week before
he returns from his western trip for the
fall season, which will probably be in
October. If he calls Congress in extra
session to pass upon the Cuban reciproc-
ity treaty, as required by the proviso
which secured its ratification in the
Senate, it seems to be settled that the
session will not begin until after election
day in November. Senators who do not
want to return to Washington before the
regular meeting time of Congress are tell
ing the President that it will be so late
if he waits until after the campaign ends
on election day, as they think he GER
tainly should do, that he ought then to
wait until Congress meets in regular
session, on the first Monday in Decem-
Der. The question is apparently not to
be settled finally at this time, and the
course of events may decide it either
way. There is no concern at the White
House over the Cuban reciprocity
treaty, the Panama canal treaty or the
Venezuelan affair. All are regarded as
in process of satisfaC tory consumma-
ton.

achieved was directly due to the unity,
courage, self-sacrifice and organization of
their people. They could not forget this

WHERE WOMEN MAY VOTE.

One Triumph i'm the EaSterms One An
the Western HemiSpherOs ri
The advocates Of woman suffrage are
able to record two recent tr1umphSp
one in the eastern and the other In the
western hemisphere, says the Balti-
more American. In the next election
for members Of both the upper and
lower chambers of Parliament Of the
Australian commonwealth women will
be allowed to vote. They will also be
eligible for seats in both houses. They
have had the full parliamentary suf-
frage In New Zealand for ten years.
In South Australia they have voted
since 1898 and in West Australia since
1901.
80 far az New Zealand is concerned
the admission of women to the fran
chise had no distinguishable effect on
the relative strength of parties. The
outcome Of the experiment in the Aus
ralian commonwealth will, neverthe-
less, be watched with interest, because
there the great majority Of women are
said to be wage-earners, and 1t ts posi-
Bile that their votes may go en- masse
to the labor party.
In four American States women are
already entitled to vote, and IT seems
probable that within few years they
will gain the full franchise In three
other states, to-wit: Oregon, Wash
Inpton and South Dakota. In Oregon
the opposition to women's rights has
dwlndled to a small fraction Of what
II was in 1884, and the majority
against a constitutional amendment
granting the franchise to women was
diminished in the State Of Washington
from nearly 19,4O0 In 1880 to less than
| q 900 In 1893. In South Dakota the ma
iortty against woman suffrage, which
in 1890 was nearly $4,000, sank In 1893
to less than $500.
Meanwhile, a partial suffrage has
been conceded to women in many parts
Of the world. Thus in England both
married and single women have the
parish and district suffrage, and In Ire
land women can vote for all of1cehold-
ers except members Of Parliament In
Norway also they have the municipal
suffrage. and in France they can vote
for Judges Of the tribunals of COM
MERGE. In Kansas women have the
municipal franchise; in Iowa limited
municipal suffrage; in Ohio, Connect
cut and Delaware, the school suffrage;
in Minnesota, the right to vote for IL
brarv trustees, and in Louisiana tine
right to vote upon all questions sub
mitted to taxpayers. On the other
hand, it cannot be said that women
ara as near to acquiring the parlia'
mentary franchise in the United King
dom as they seemed some years ago.
