Won Over Prejudice.

Other states will follow fast, and
by the time the next presidential
election comes around there will
not even be any discussion of the
advisability of inserting a womans
suffrage plank in the platform, nor
will there be any presidential can
date who skulks behind the as
sertion that he doesn't know where
he stands in regard to giving wom-
an the ballot.
The knowledge that millions Of
women vote. and that they hold the
balance of power in any closely con-
tested election, will be powerfully
Illuminating to the understanding
of politicians.
Women have borne themselves
we'll in this campaign. and the NOR
al victory they have won over pop
ular prejudice by their high mind
cd attitude in politics is no less a
matter of congratulation than that
there are four more stars in the

tire Scriptures into the Indian Ian
guage.
Nothing but Love could have ac-
complished that immense task.
Love never faileth," we are told
by one of the highest authorities
and that is why Eliot did not break
down in his herculean labors. His
unselfish love for the Indians car
ried him through.
Beginning his missionary labors
with that first sermon in 1916. Eliot
kept them up, without signs of fall
tering, for forty four years. The
last piece of work that the good old
man did was to translate an Eng
fish book into the Algonquin tongue.
Never did a human being more
completely devote himself to the
good of others. All through his
more youthful years, through his
splendid prime, and away down into
his declining days did he toll FOR
the uplift of the "savages" who, in
the opinion of most of the Chris
tians" of the time, were fit for
nothing but to be shot down.
Gathering them into villages, he
strove with all his might to ''reach
their scanty intelligence and still
scantier moral sense" Some five
thousand of the children of the
forest" were benefited by his minis
trations, and If all the other Chris
tians Of Massachusetts had been Of
the type of Eliot, history might
have very different tale to tell.
Yes, John Eliot passed away. and
with him passed his Indians; the
Bible that he left in the Indian Ian
guage can now be read by hardly
soul on earth, and the very places
where the red men gathered TO
hear his teachings are forgotten
But none the less true Is IL that the
spirit that animated Eliot was the
spirit of the Good which lives for
gever, and which is finally TO make
all men love each other as Eliot
loved the red men of Massachu-

Wilson's Election Proves Suffrage Theory

TIME election Is over and as the
shouting ana the tumult die,
there stand forth three
points that are particularly inter-
esting as they affect women.
First and foremost, four more
Saskatchewan, Kansas, Oregon
and Arizona-have joined the hon
orable procession that has granted
political freedom to its women
Second, although Colonel Roose-
welt came out in favor of woman
suffrage, and the Progressive party
was the only one that inserted a
woman suffrage plank in Its plat
form, the Bull Moosers did not car
ry a single state in which women
were voting.
This one fact-that women did
not stampede in a body to the Pro
gressive party-is the best suffrage
argument that has ever been ad-
vanced. It shows that women can
keep their heads under the stress of
great temptation, and refutes the
often expressed fear that they
would be fanatics in politics, guild
ed solely by their emotions and

"WO women, both widows,

an was older; past the half-century

She rebuked the younger woman
for her thought of consenting to a
second marriage.

tons to become selfishly partisan,

The third point of interest to
women in the election is that it af-
fords them a visible illustration of
the different political status Of
women with the ballot and women

Patriotism Before Profit.

Progressive party, which many

tiously and intelligently as they did

Enduring Ideals of Love.
Il mean to have my own COM
partnership and my own home life
so that when my children go into
their new homes l will not be left
desolate.'
The younger woman unquestion-
ably had the better of the argu-
ment. Once in 500 cases a woman
who is widowed in her prime is left
with a memory of such happiness
and with such ideals of love that
remarriage would be impossible: it
would SAVIOR of sacrilege to even
entertain the idea.
Once in 5000 cases a man is left
widower with similar barrier to
remarriage.
The remaining cases either marry
again or would like to marry again.
A woman in the prime of life,
known and respected and loved bv
all America, has announced her in
tention of second marriage.
Best Wishes and Blessings.
In her youth she espoused high
official of our country, and she was
a faithful wife and devoted moth
er, and graced every position which
she occupied, and performed every
duty with fine precision.
She bore the strong limelight Of
publicity with dignity and met the
difficulties of her position with ad
mirable poise. When sickness. sor-
row and death came she entered
each ordeal with the same grace
and serenity which had kept her
sweet and unassuming in her hours
of prominence and prosperity.
The best wishes and sincere
blessings of a whole nation will at
tend this woman on her second
wedding day.

But, replied the younger wom-
an with some spirit, Il do not see
that your example is one which
would make other women eager to
follow it,"
And pray why not?"
Because you are a very lonely
woman; your children are married
and have homes of their own; they
may love you devotedly, and be
kind and all that; but the fact re-
mains, they do not need you to
make their lives complete.
They do not need you in their
homes, and you must feel yourself
a guest when you visit them; it is
in the nature of things A new in

daughter her husband; and if they

tial campaign has been concerned,
women have cut just about as much
real figure in politics as snow
fake is supposed to cut in the
region of perpetual summer. Cam
paign orators were content to
throw them a few bouquets Of
compliments, and to say something
nice and flattering about women
using their great silent influence
in politics. And that ended it.
3ut with the women voting in six
states and holding the balance Of
power, and with women about to
vote in many other states and
keenly interested everywhere in
politics, there was no talk about
woman's silent influence. All three
of the big parties urged women to
use their voices in their behalf,
and to roll up their sleeves and help
with the actual political work.
Woman without the ballot was a
cipher that no one thought of con-
sidering. Woman with the ballot
is a mighty power that has to be
reclIoned with and conciliated. The
granting of the franchise to wom-
