prevented any quick action and he

SUFFRAGE PROGRESS


The rate at which woman suffrage
is progressing in this country is simp-
ly marvellous At tho present rate il
will be but a very few years before
women will enjoy all of the privileg-
cs that arc now monopolized by men.
1t will be a glorious day, indeed,
when DIR. Mary Walker can appear
publicly in her cute trousers and
frock coat without being arrested.
Perhaps suffrage has not had suf-
ficient trial in this country to per-
NIT of fair Judgment being passed
on it, but there does not seem to
be any especial reason why the most
horrid of men should oppose it long
er. In California the women, who
are still somewhat unaccustomed to
the novelty of voting, have been
taking keen interest In local and
national politics. 1t is likely that
they will make some kind of an ex-
hibit at the San Diego Exposition, in
1915, to show what they have accom-
plished, and the showing will prob
ably be a great surprise to the peo-
pie who have not been watching the
course Of events.

WILSON'S APPoINTEEs

Not few of the men who have
been nominated for office by Presi
dent Taft have an idea that they
will succeed in winning the favor
of the incoming President in case
the Senate refuses to confirm them
before March 4th. Just now there
is no likelihood that they will be
confirmed Whether they are justi-
fled in expecting. or even hoping,
that Gov. Wilson thinks of keeping
them in office is something no man
can find out. The Governor has
made the Sphinx look communicative
IN comparison, by his monumental
display OF reticence. 1t is a very
open secret in Washington that a
good many public officials expect to
be retained in office under the next
administration. There is Secretary
of the Interior Fisher. and Assistant
Secretary Adams, and some of the
Presidents clerks at the White House
and but what is the use of calling
the roll of officialdom? They all are
casting sleeps eyes at the man who
will be boss after March 4th. And
it's .eal]y surprising now that you
come to ook over the list how very
many democrats there were holding
office under Taft. They admit it
theInssie es,-they were democrats al
the time. and we al thought they
ware good old stanGpat republicans.
But then. a man in office doesn't
have much tine to be telling just
where Ia stands politically.
