and remote. This, the Democrats and
Republicans had never been able to
accomplish. Oregon was full of silver
tongued orators of the female persua-
sion. The Reverend Anna Shaw, of
blessed memory, stumped the state
from the Columbia river to Goose Lake
and from Idaho clear into the Sunset
sea. On the night before the election
it was the opinion at both Republican
and Democratic headquarters that
equal suffrage would carry. The
women have won," was the statement
given out and the men did not care.
However, the women had not won.
On election day they lined up at the
polls as workers and in the large city
of Portland and in other large towns,
they demanded themselves in such
way as to lose the support they had
already secured. In other words, the
keep ought Of sight. Previous to cleo
ton day, thousands of men did not
know what class of women desired to
vote.
Thus 1t was seen that these women
defeated themselves. They had money,
they had a superb organization ana
they had the battle won. There was
no opposition among the men. True,
some of the better class of women N
Portland organized and published an
address saying the women Of Oregon
did not want suffrage. But this move
ment was only local and ephemeral.
The suffragette showed herself in the
political arena and the effect was dis
astrous.
Yet Oregon has the most advanced
laws of any state in the Union.
But as has been said before, when
ever the real women of Florida desire
to vote, they will. The hand that
rocks the cradle cannot be stayed.
The girl with the starlit eyes and
the sun kissed cheeks has never befn
resisted and she never will. When she
comes with demands in low-voiced
| tones, that ring clear and sweet, like
the sound Of old cathedral bells, she
gets what she asks for.
But equal suffrage in Florida is still
far away.

grees fahrenheit, we may look for more
talk about Votes for Women" But
the crusade will be mothered by the
same bunch of females with short hair
and big feet. The fluffy haired, brown
eyed girl who is in demand at moon
light picnics and who nightly holds
court around the soda founts, will not
be seen in the van in the mid summer
campaign for Votes for Women
Most young fellows escortlng a suffra-
gette down Palafox street in the gloam-
ing, or any other time for that matter,
would feel like he was paying a freak
election bet
So the time for the crusade for
equal suffrage in Florida has not Yet
arrived
Has anyone noticed any marked i'm
provement in civic affairs in those few
states where the experiment has been
tried? Has civic righteousness be-
come so prominent as to cause one to
sit up and take notice in Colorado, or
Idaho, or Utah or Wyoming? The
Guggenheims still hold sway in the
senate from Colorado and the Mormons
in Utah have not ceased to violate the
laws of God and MIN, because the bal
lot was given to the numerous wives
of the patriarchs.
Whenever the national organization
of suffragettes make a crusade in a
state, they center their entire energy
in that state. Occasionally they sue
coed; more often they fail. In 1906
some of the women of oregon decided
they wanted to vote. The suffragett
of the entire nation came to their aid

State were Indifferent. They were will

that election a governor was to be
chosen and many important measures
were to be discussed. The suffragettes
had enormous sums Of money at hand
and they had the most complete po-
litical organization that was ever made
in far western state. They had cam

precinct in the state, however obscure

The weather is simply fierce. Very
little corn planted. no cotton in the

In the eternal fitness of things, 1t is
diflcult to understand in these thrill
ing prediction days. when the whole
country is in the throes Of the turbu-
lent agitation OF naming candidates for
every job in the realm Of omcialdorl,
why the vexed question Of female suf-
frage should be bobbing UP serenely
from below like the ghost Of the late
1amented Mr.. Banquo.
But the Woman's Rights problem,
like the poor and the Salvation Army,
we always have with US. Why?
Because 1t will never be ultimately
settled until those persons most inter
ested-the women themselves-want 1t
settled and settle It.
One automatic truth Is evolved from
the activity throughout the country
during the past several decades. That
IL this:
Whenever the women-the right sort
Of women-want to vote, the so-called
lords of creation will gladly extend To
them the rights of suffrage, with all It's
attendant Ills and privileges, on a sill
yer platter.
Our wives, our sisters, our cousins
4 and our aunts don't want to vote. This
Is true all over the south and IT is
specially noticeable in Florida.
The wave of female suffrage, If 1t is
permissible to call such a small ripple
a wave, has been greatly impeded in
its progress by the personnel of its ad
vocates. An Ill dressed woman with 4
caliiopean voice and a waist line like
the tropic of Capricorn on a school
house globe, going about the country
hoarsely bawling meme, meme. tekel
uparsin," or words to that effect, does
not WELD such potential influence
over the sterner sex (save the mark)
as she fondly imagines.
Whenever the long-haired men and
the short haired women resign the
leadership II the suffragette movement
a more attractive and more normal set
Of individuals may take up the fad
As II is, the agitation doesn't hurt any,
body and 1t adds somewhat to the
gaieties and follies of the silly season
Of the heated term. Now that the
