A MID the din and clamor that is go
u ing on over woman suffrage per
"A haps it is just as we'll to know
something of the results of women's
voting as it actually exists in this
country. Many questions confront the
inquisitor:
Has woman suffrage been a success
in those states where the full exercise
is permitted? DO the women exercise
their right Independent of husbands or
family? Do the poor women go to the
polls in as proportionately large num-
bers as the well-to-do? Are the women
of the under world desirous of voting,
and do the police dictate the candidates
for whom they shall vote? Is the po-
litical atmosphere any purer as the re-
suit of adoption of woman suffrage.
The New York Sun thus summarizes
the answers to these questions from re-
ports furnished by its correspondents
in various states where woman suffrage
is exercised completely or in part:
The Suffrage States
There are four states in which wom-
en- have the full suffra age-Idaho, Colo
RADIO, Utah and Wyoming.
In twenty-one states and one terri
tory, Arizona, they may vote on school
questions. These are Colorado, Con-
DecllCuI, DeldWdre, FIOF1Ody iowa, IL
linois, Indiana, Idaho, Kentucky, Kan
sas, Michigan, Massachusetts, Mime
sofa, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska,
New Hampshire, New Jersey, New
York, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Ohio,
South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, Wash
ington, wisconsin and wyoming. OF
course the four states where full suff-
rage is allowed are included in the list.
In Louisiana women taxpayers may
vote on taxation questions only. In
Iowa also they may vote on bonding
matters. In Minnesota they may vote
for public library trustees. In Kan
sas they may vote at municipal cleo
tions and on bonding matters. In Mon
tana they may vote on bonding ques-
tions.
Schools Improved
In one respect there seems to be
unanimity of opinion; the schools of
states where the women vote on such
matters have been improved greatly as
a result. Many women have become
school superintendents, and the opinion
is general that it has been decidedly
uplifting. These women attend to bus
mess strictly; they do not mix in poll
tics.
1t is also the opinion that where
women have been elected to other coun-
ty offices, such as treasurer or register,
these offices have been managed well
and solely for the public good.
The reports show that woman suff-
rage has not made the political atmos-
phere cleaner or purer. 1t is rare that

This momentary slackening OF
trade is the inevitable price of tariff
revision. Among the delegates to the
Indianapolis convention there viii be
many who are paying their share OF
the price. They know it, and there
fore ought to favor expeditions action
by congress. Consequently they should
not hesitate to ask for it. The tariff
should be scientifically made. The
revenue requirements of the govern
ment should be looked after. The
manufacturers should be given ade-
quate protection and no more, and the
interests of consumers should not be
neglected. But there should be quick
action. so that the Industries of the
country may know where they stand
and resume operations. Dilatory ma
neuvers by the 'standpat' men is what
they have most to apprehend."

THE STATES FINANCES,


James A. Nation, the auditor of the
state, has called the attention of the
| legislature to the fact that as soon as
next October the finances of the state
| Will be in such condition that there
| Will not be enough money on hand to
pay with cash the running expenses of
| the states government. CareIessness,
or something else, on the part of the
| last legislature will be responsible for
this decidedly undesirable condition of
| affairs. That body was free with MAX
| ing large sized appropriations for state
work but it did not take the trouble to
fix a big enough tax rate to levy the
revenue needed to meet all of these
appropriations and the other expenses
| Of the government. Perhaps the Iegis-
| lature fixed an insufficient tax rate for
no better reason than political pur-
poses. But whatever the reason was a
situation has developed which it will be
| necessary for the present legislature to
relieve.
1t carries with it a lesson to members
| of the legislature now in session. In
the wind-up of their affairs they should
see to it that a tax rate of sufficient
size is fixed to raise all the revenue
that may be needed to meet the appro-
priations that are made and also the
ordinary and regular expenses of the
state This lesson does not mean that
the legislature needs be niggardly in its
appropriations Kansas is developing
| in all ways. Her institutions are de-
veloping and growing in size and need
ample appropriations to keep them
running and abreast of the times. Her
people are weather. proportionately
than are those of most other states.
And her legislature can afford to be
liberal in its appropriations. Economy
is a good thing to keep in mind and
there should be no wastefulness in ap-
preparations of any sort. Economy and
liberality can go hand in hand. how
ever, but not If the economy is Of that
false penny wise and pound foolish
variety. Above all things, though. no
matter what the size of the appropria-
tions may be, the legislature should be
careful to provide the revenue to meet
them.
The humiHating fact developed at this
session that the last legislature had
appropriated no money for a needed
carpet in the hall of the house-yet
the old one was so worn that it fell
to pieces The responsibility, by rea-
son of the legislatures neglect fell to
the executive council, who in doing
what they thought was best, under al
the circumstances, were criticized with
more or less severity. when the blame
belonged to the legislature itself.

A SATURDAY SERMON.

Use hospitality one to another without
grudging. I Peter Tvs.
No attribute of human life is more
desirable and worthy than an honest
hospitality Indeed, true hospitality
quite is difficult of attainment. How
much of the entertainment by indiv-
iduals to their friends and acquaint-
ances is given with a free. generous
heart, with an endeavor to spread
happiness and good will among them.
sincere answer to this question can
be made by everyone from their own
will be, that much which is done IN
der the guise of hospitality is actually
far from being the real thing.
Too often is it the case that persons
entertain their friends in any of a. va
riety of ways for the simple reason
that they feel duty bound so to do.
They must repay. or they think they
must, certain attentions that have been
shown them. They frequently do so
with an elaborateness and at an ex-
pense that they cannot well afford
Behind their hands and smiles of well
come, their forced efforts to spread
good cheer. there turks a feeling of
distress and often dispair.
OF course there is another side to
the picture. 1t would be a sorry one
If there. were not. There are those who
are blessed with graciousness of
spirit and heart who could not be any
thing but truly hospitable under any
and every sort of circumstances. The
more they are put out and really in
convenienced to entertain their friends
the better they are pleased; the warm
radiance they shed around all the
more welcome. Certainly, the aspira-
tons of everyone should be devoted
to a cultivation of the grace of real
hoSnitalitY

QUICK ACTION NEEDED.

"a national tariff convention is to
meet at Indianapolis next month";" says
the Chicago Tribune. There will be
delegates from commercial and other
organizations interested in the tariff
question, and governors of states and
mayors of cities have been asked to
name delegates.
zone purpose of the callers of the
convention-perhaps the chief purpose
is to urge congress to create a tariff
commission. There will be one some
day. Congress will see ultimately the
need of a permanent body to keep an
eye on the cost of production at home
and abroad and advise congress of
changed conditions which might make
changes in Legislation expedient But
the next congress is not likely to create
d commission. The convention, be-
sides asking for what it will not get,
can with great propriety ask congress
not to be dilatory about preparing, de-
batting, and passing its tariffc act.
1.-THE reason is obvious The bust
ness men of the country. whether
manufacturers or merchants, will
mark time until they know definitely
what the tariff changes are to be. AS
the day of revision draws nearer, the
more cautious they become about
making or buying goods. The greater
business activity which was anticipated
for the winter months because of the
increased volume of trade last fall has
not materialized. 1t would have zone

| vision was imminent. The steel an6
