EQUAL FRANCHISE PROGRESS

Judge election, of the Circuit Court,

sion is constitutional The Oregon
act gives the commission power to
decide hours OF employment. stand
ard conditions OF labor and minimum
wages for women and children. Judge
election has decided that these ques-
tons come within the police power
OF the State. He says: The quest
ton must necessarily have a liberia

opinion that the regulation of the
minimum wage for women and min

WHAT THE MEXICANS THINK
OF US.

The Mexican view of the Ameri
cans, or more strictly speaking, OF
American soldiers, is found in an edi-
torial appearing in the Thinking
Bell" published at Cuadalajara, Mex
leo. in which Americans are referred
TO as "gringoes." The editorial is in
teresting and enlightening, but not
hall SO enlightening as will be the
American troops to the Mex1cans IN
case Intervention becomes necessary.
The Mexican editor writes as follows:
These bigfooted gringoes will
have money to throw TO the winds,
arms and cartridges But they lack
another thing; a thing that is neces-
cary in battles and that is unfortu
nately not sold in the markets OF the
world. The gringoes concern them
selves with business only. They are
soldiers with the same enthusiasm
with which thew could be, for example,
hairdressers. They must travel with
every convenience Each tent is a
canvas palace, with every comfort, lux
ury and magnificent utility. Who ex
poets they will quit eating their
crackers. their cakes and butter? Do
they sleep on the ground9 No, senior;
they sleep on soft canvas cot with
picture OF their sweethearts on the
headboard so that, perchance, they
NAV dream of her Water, No,
senior; good wines, beer, mineral wa
ter, so that they may suffer no i'll
effects and be always well-fed little
ones. All this they say themselves,
but they fail to confess that they
never fire rife until they have bath
ed with scented soap; that they carry
in their knapsacks tortoise she'll
combs. a little mirror, pomade and
small bottle of perfume for tidying up
after the battle These are the Yank
ee soldiers of whom we are so much
afraid. Veritable machines with legs
and arms; the only thing they know
how to do'is to fire off their guns with
a parsimony and phlegm very APP
propriate to their characters. And 1t
is such kinds of gold, towards and
lovers of luxury who are dreaming OF
conquering US.
And is it such as these who inspire
us with so much dread. confronted
with an announcement of invasion. we
tremble with fearl Now we shall
see them when they must sleep with
one eye open, using stones for pillows
on the hIIitops, expecting from one
moment to another that the enemy
may fall upon them. We shall see
if they will breakfast on coffee with
savory cakes, and illuminate the tents
with elegant alcohol lamos and drink
good wines and sleep until o'clock
on soft feather beds
Before the hatred OF the enemy
this internal revolution will be extin-
guished and then we shall see how all
the heroism we are now mispending
will become true examples OF valor
and patriotism! Zapata, Cenevevo,
Alberty, Morales, Pancho, Villa, and
a multitude of others will throw their
pack of hounds against the gringoes,
and they will learn the beauty OF am
buscades and we will see that they
will FORGET even their English.
For my part ! am unafraid OF the
colossus and such intervention What
must be plucked OF feathers must first
be softened If they must come, let
them come soon. One would almost
die of JOY bringing in two or three
gringoes between his spurs"

Votes for Women in Austria.

In Austria women are forbidden by
law to take an active part in politics
or to join any political association.
Last spring the Chamber OF Deputies
decided to cancel the prohibiting
clause, and the Political Committee o.
the upper House has now endorsed
this vote OF the Deputies, with the
explanation that 'the part taken b.
women in associations with politica
tendencies is we'll know, and, under
the circum stances. can scarcely be pre-
vented" This bill has been sent back
to the Deputies for further consider
alton The women of Austria have
been leading an agitation against tho
rise OF prices which they. as house
keepers. feel most acutely.
