which have given q modified form OF
suffrage to women and full suffrage
has been granted the women by the
Isle of Man, New Zealand, South Aus
tralia, West Australia, and in 1902 full
suffrage was granted the women of
Federated Australia and New South
Wales
In 1903 Tasmania gave full state
suffrage to women, Queensland follow
ed the next year, Finland gave full
national suffrage in 1906 and Norway
the following year In 1908 Victoria
gave full state suffrage, and in 1911
both houses of the Icelandic parlia-
ment gave the suffrage to women
Taking the states in this country and
the other nations which have granted
full suffrage to women, it is found
that full suffrage is enjoyed by a
population of 1854 SAT. of which num-
Der 5,163, 473, or about one-third, are
found in the states having full stuff
rage in this country
How They Vote.
In the states which have equal suf-
frage, the women's organizations sent
a series of questions to the mayors of
each city and 14O of the mayors an
swered the queries. In all cases
those mayors were unanimous in say
ing that equal suffrage had shown
good results; that women vote at
least as generally as men, according
to registration; that they oppose cor
ruption in politics; that they have not
been mixed in corruption or bribery.
and that there has been less of this
since women had the right to vote;
that on the whole better men have
been elected to ofice;s that women
have shown an intelligent interest in
state and municipal affairs and are
ready to rally to the support of good
measures; that the percentage of
vicious women who vote is small; and
most of the mayors recommend equal
suffrage to all other cities and states
From this same series of letters or
reports from the 140 mayors, 1t ap-
pears that in Idaho As per cent of the
women voted in Boise City, 40 per
cent voted in Emmett, 80 per cent vot-
ed in Pierce and two-thirds of the
women voted in Troy.
In Utah the reports show that IS
per cent of the women voted in Bear
River, 80 per cent voted in Garden
City, 95 per cent voted in Grouse
Creek, 90 per cent voted in KeysviIle,
80 per cent voted in Logan and 90 per
cent voted in Nephi.
In Kansas the reports from these
same sources show that 80 per cent
voted as Eskridge and 80 per cent
voted at Miltonvale.
Seem to Prize Vote
In Wyoming the reports state that
the women voted as strongly in pro-
portion to registration as did the
males, If not to a larger axtent. In

Denver, Colo, in the election of 1909,
no less than 10000 women voted and
only about 500 of that number were
classified as vicious women. In other
words, in that Denver election 43 per
cent of the vote was cast by women
and only 40 per cent of the vote was
cast by males.
Both houses of the National Parlia-
ment of Federated Australia for the
session of 1909-10 passed a resolution
saying that after &c years of woman's
suffrage in varying parts of the coun-
try and nine years as a common
wealth, the reform has justified the
hopes of it's supporters./
Relative to the percentage of wom-
en- voting in the states where they
have that right, the woman's suf-
frage organizations point out. that
men do not exercise their right to vote
as they should, and that, therefore,
the question as to women doing so is
not very material.
They point out that in the presiden-
tial election of 1904, the vote cast was
only 1861 $50, while $1,000, 900 men
were eligible to vote. Then again, they
say that in the city election in Phila-
delphia, in 1903, the Reform party re-
ports that 40 per cent of the men fall
ed to vote, and that in the same year
in the election in New York city so 900
registered voters failed to cast their
ballots
Their Choice of Political OFFICES
In the states where full suffrage
has been granted to women for some
time experience has shown that wom-
en- do not to any great extent run for
political Office Going through the
records of those states it will appear
that. for the most part, women have
been candidates for educational posi-
lions and for the office of county or
state treasurer Those are the two
classes of Offices which they seem to
have singled out as being most desir-
able from their standpoint. and to
which they have been most generally
elected

women, the vote on that occasion be-

measure, or majority of 1878 for
equal suffrage, with some minor towns
to hear from. California had rejected
the proposition in 1896, Oregon and
several of the other western states
have several times rejected the
amendment, and Massachusetts in
1895 voted on the question and refused
equal suffrage, the vote in this state at
that time being: Yes, 109 ,204; No,
1880, or 1866 majority against
equal suffrage. Since then the ques-
ton has not been brought to the ref
erendum in this commonwealth
In the western states the question
has come before the voters quite reg
ularly, for, according to some of the
opponents of the equal suffrage in that
section of the country, "a yes vote

kentucky Pointed the Way.
Kentucky was the first state in this
country to give women the right to
vote. In 1898 that state gave the
school suffrage to widows with chill
dren OF school age, and in 1861 Kansas
gave the school suffrage to all women.
Year by year from then on the move
ment for woman's suffrage gained
strength Throughout the country, but
1t was always granted in modified
form as the right to vote on school

Laws Women Have Helped to Make.
The male mind naturally inquiries as
to what laws the women In the equal
suffrage states have been responsible
for? For this question the women's
suffrage organizations have evidently
primed themselves. Here are some OF
the laws adopted in the equal suffrage
states since women had the right to
vote, which they maintain have been
championed by women, and that wom-

Colorado gave equal suffrage in
1893, and since that time the women
claim responsibility for securing the
passage of laws forbidding the insur-
ance of children under ten years old;
establishing a state home for Deepen

members of it's trustees to be women;
statute requiring three out of the six

WV to vote for their choice for
president of the United
States in 1912. Those wom-
en- are to be found in the six western
states which have already granted
equal suffrage, the number of women
in each state who are eligible to vote
being about as follows: California.

Those figures are not exact, but
constitute the best possible estimate
until such time as the census bureau
gets out it's figures showing the ana1y-
sis of the population by states. 1t is
possible that before the election in
1912 more states may give the women
chance to vote for the presidential
candidates, as the equal suffrage cam
paigners have such states as Nevada,
Oregon, Kansas and Wisconsin marked
as trembling in the balance on the

CANADA'S CENSUS
A THIRTY-TWo PER CENT IN
CREASE IN THE PAST TEN
YEARS.

That Canada has come rapidly to
the front in the past ten years is am
ply shown in the results of the census
recently made public. The population
of the Dominion Is now placed at
7.OS1 ,S69, which with outlying points
to be heard from, may bring 1t up to
7A millions as compared with 6,31l,-
315 in 1901. Though these figures are
large, they do not present total as
large as was expected but they do
show a greater increase Of percentage
In population for the decade than any
similar increase in the United States.
The highest percentage ever reached
by the Republic was 249o; the per-
centage of increase in Canada for the
decade is 1920. Thus 1t will be seen
that the provinces west OF the lakes,
with the great broad fertile acres
ready for the sowing and immediate
reaping of grain and the Valleys OF
British Columbia capable Of producing
fruit with which to supply its neigh
boring provinces east of the noun
tains, have attracted numbers, which
has exceeded the most optimistic of
the expectations of ten years ago.
Upon the prairies of the ten years
ago there was but spare scattering
of people; but today, no matter in
which way you go. take any direction,
and you find homes and farms and
good ones too, occupied by the very
best class of people in good sized set
Elements with plenty of room for five
or six times as many more. The pop
uIation of Alberta is set down at 372,-
s19, as compared with 1902 in 1901;
Saskatchewan 453,508 as compared
with 1920 in 1901; Manitoba's 49,,
SCI compares well with its 255,211 in
1901; and so does that of British Co
lumbia-362, 768 as against 17S,657 in
1901; but in a territory as large as
this a population of 1,643, 900 is little
more than discernible in point of num-
bers. The work through it has been
great. Look at the towns that have
been built up; its cities, Winnipeg
with 1876, 900; Vancouver with upwards
of 100000; Calgary with $1,000; Ed
monitor, Regina, Saskatoon; Leth-
bridge; Medicine Hat, Moosejaw,
splendid cities-none better any
where; well maintained and equipped.
These have come with existence and
been built as they have been built by
reason of the splendid agricultural
country by which they are surround
ed The population is scarcely dis
cernible. A population ten or twelve
tipes that shown by the recent
census could be easily maintained in
even greater wealth than that which
maintains the present numbers. There
is certainly a wonderful future for
Western Canada and that which goes
to the development of the west will
enrich the last. This is the growing
time in Canada and what has been
done in the past ten years is but a
beginning The next decade will
show far greater advancement. In
the meantime Canada is bidding well
come the progressive and Industrious
citizen The invitation is a standing
one. At the forthcoming land exposi-
tioR in Chicago, Canada will have one
of the best exhibits of farm products
that has ever been made and it will
be well worth while inspecting it and
getting information from those who
may be in charge.
