DO WOMEN WANT TO VOTE?

Do the women really want the right
of suffrage? That question comes
from Kansas where the women have
had the legal right to vote for city
officials for quarter Of century.
The actual exercises of that right
ought to be the real proof of the
pudding" so far as the question of
equal suffrage is concerned. There
are many interesting theories advanc-
ed as to what might happen If women
had the ballot, but the question as
to what really happens where the
right is granted is the best evidence
as to whether or not there is any uni
versal demand on the part of the wo-
men of America for the extension of
suffrage
The answer of Kansas appears to
be against extension. There the wo-
men have the right to vote, but ac-
cording to the statistics available on
the subject, they don't vote. With
Kansas women 1t is a matter of in
difference. In the last legislature in
that state an attempt was made to Sc
cure an amendment to the constitu-
ton to extend the franchise to in
clude presidential electors and state
officers but the amendment was voted
down without protest from the wo-
men. 1t would appear as only reas-
enable to conclude that after twenty
Ave years of limited suffrage, had 1t
proved the success hoped for 1t In the
beginning, the representatives in the
legislature would not have dared re-
fuse the extension. Ten years after

"NANNIE" ORANGES

A writer in the New York Sun Wis
iting the West Indies says: 81 was
introduced to what the West Indians
call the mamie orange. A mamie is
one that has been allowed to remain
on the tree until 1t is wrinkled and
withered, almost dried out. Such an
orange is ten times as sweet as any
other They arc not sold in New
York because the dealers think they
are spoiled, They're right, of course.
If the fruit withers after 1t is plucked
it is no good. But the next time you

tax limit that means what 1t says, and
he insists that suca a measure be
passed. If any other kind of meas
ure be passed pretending to limit the
levy to one per cent yet flexible
enough to be stretched to any length,
the governor will assume none of the
responsibility for it but will let all
such responsibility rest where it will
properly belong-upon a legislature
which refused to act in accordance
with his recommendations
Therefore it is up to the legisla-
ture to respond to the advice of Gov
ernor Harmon or answer to the peo-
pie for failing to do its full duty.

HOPE TO AVERT BIG STRIKE

London, March 31--Although to-
morrow is the day set for the inaugur-
alton of the great strike of coal min
ers In South Wales there is still hope
that the threatened struggle may be
averted or at least delayed for some
time to come. The Miners Fedora
ton of Great Britain has taken the
matter up with the mine owners
with view to extending the existing
agreement indefinitely while negotia.
tlons are continued for new agree
ment. Should the negotiations be
broken off and general strike dsi
clared II would mean that 100000 min
ers would be thrown out of employ
ment, with the prospect that the
strike would eventually affect Ave
times that number, including railway
and dock employees and others de-
pendent upon the collleries.

amendment to increase the right of

And there is no reason to believe
that If woman suffrage has failed in
Kansas for lack of interest on the
part Of the women, it would prove
successful in any other state in the
Union. For Kansas is state Of in
spiration. There is absolutely moth.
ing lacking there that would create
interest in the ballot for women In
