Equal Suffrage.


The victory for equal suffrage in
CaIiforniais the largest single vic
tory won in this country, tor more
women are enfraachised in that state
by this amendment to the constitu-
ton than in all the suffrage states
combined. The conditions of life
are more like the eastern and middle
west states than in the other states,
simply for the reason the state has
been settled longer. 1t is impor-
tant victory because of the great size
of the state. 1t is largerthan all New
England. Texas is the only state in
the Union which has greater area.
Some OF the European countries
could be placed wit hin it and not
touch its borders.
1t was a valiant campaign which
the women, ably seconded by large
visioned men, carried onto ultimate
success. Workers canvassed the
entire state. Literature bearing on
the subject was sent everywhere,
automobiles toured the state. Basi-
ness men, political leaders, protes-
sional men and farmers were inter
viewed. Great rallies were held.
Many suffrage songs were written
for the campaign and sung at the
rallies. Suffrage addresses and
debates were given before every
available gathering. Banners and
flyers with the words, "Votes for
women" upon them were put in
every place where they would attract
attention. Women Of wealth, of
education, social leaders, working
wome en-, gave themselves freely for
months to the campaign work. 1t
was a splendid campaign, and all
lovers of justice, Of equality before
the law, all lovers of democracy
rejoice in the victory. Lined up
against the earnest workers were the
corporate, interests OF the state,
prominent among which was the
Southern Pacific Railroad, which
has long been powerful political
machine in California, tramrling on
the rights of the people. OF course
the liquor dealers always fight every
effort for equal suffrage.
Through the adoption of the equal
suffrage amendment and that for the
initiative and referendum, the people
OF California have gone on record DIS
believing in the rule of all the citi
zens of the state irrespective of sex,
aud in their ability to decide ques-
tions winch relate to the public
welfare.
Amendments for equal suffrage

That was the explanation of Mrs.

tanning the body Of George B. Saufiey

complete.
Mrs. Harrison said that last Satur-
day morning she experienced a vision
from God In which she was assured
that the attorney would rise from the
dead If the earth covering him should
be removed. Confiding her intentions
to no one, Mrs. Harrison went about
her plans. Before leaving her home
on the night Of her quest, she prayed
fervently and stole into the cemetery
about midnight.
She had never used shovel be-
fore, but confident that the end Of her
task meant the restoration to life Of
the man who had obtained for her a
divorce, she worked busily. After
she had removed all Of the dirt and
had lifted the casket, she was unable
to remove the lid. Lights in the dis
lance warned her persons were being
aroused and that dawn was near.
Then she abandoned her task.

RUSHING TROOPS
TO MEXICO BORDER
Ten Troops Of Cavalry Go to

PREVENT ATTACK ON JUAREz
Because Of Large Foreign and Amerl'
can Interest There a 5ombard-
ment May be Prevented by
This Government.

Washington, Feb. 4.-Four troops
OF cavalry from the Preside. Cal,
and six troops from Fl. Meade, South
Dakota, were ordered rushed to the
Mexican frontier to preserve the
neutrality.
This action followed visit to the
White house from Mr.. Casasus spe-
cial ambassador from Mexico. The
Mexican ambassador Senior Della
Barra Is not now in the city.
The war department and the state
department have taken note Of the
statement from the insurrecto gen
eral at Juarez that he will within "a
hours lombard Juarez. The admins
tration has not revealed its attitude
towards this threat, but 1t is thought
that the government will take same
ground as 1t did in the case Of Puerto
Cortez In Honduras and prevent bonn.
bardment because Of the large foreign
and American interests at Juarez.
The news reached the state depart
ment that the Mexican government
intended to ask the United States to
allow the use OF its railroads to trans
port Mexican troops from Sonora
province to the neighborhood of
Juarez. So far as can be learned the
United States will not object. The
insurrecto have cut all the railway
and telegraph lines between Juarez
and the interior so that 1t is impossi-
BILE for the Mexican war department
to dispatch troops by rail.
The ordering OF the additional
troops to the frontier is because of re-
ports that large numbers Of filibusters
are crossing the northern Mexican
frontier from the United States.
Gen. Wood explained that the
northern boundary is 30 extensive
and the, adjacent country so thinly
settled that 1t is possible for very
important flibuster expedition to pass
Il to Mexico unnoticed.

Meade, South Dakota, one is to go to

to cooperate with those on the north
