SUFFRAGE in Illinois.

The Chicago Journal: Gov Dunno
has signed the woman suffrage bill, and
Illinois has taken rank among those
truly progressive states, where women
are citizens in rights as well as in obi
cations.
Women now have the right to vote
for practically all municipal officers
and for presidential electors With so
large measure Of suffrage, they are
sure to gain full equality in this state
within II few years. The Journal has
no fear in predicting that 80 far as the
votes of women effect II change in pub
lie affairs, that change will be for the
better.
It is n source of no small pleasure to
this paper that Illinois is the first state
east of the Mississippi to grant suffrage
to women. The next triumph OF the
cause" should be the capture OF one
Of the original thirteen states, three or
four of whom are seriously considering
giving women the ballot. After that
will come the successful invasion OF the
south, and then complete triumph.

Exposure OF Crime.

The Hudson True Republican; AT no
time in generation has there been so
much exposure of crime i'll all its
phases as at present. This is sometimes
construed as evidence that the world is
getting worse, but really 1t tends toward
the opposite. Evil must first be hunted
out before it can be combatted and if
ever there were time when it is hunt
ed to its very den it is now. Publicity
of political corruption is certainly hay
ing II salutary effect. The authority of
the Government when pushed with
vigor is much better respected. The
acquiecence of the roads of Minnesota
instead of making fight is evidence
that some of the big corporations begin
to respect the Government when pro
perly administered. The position of
President Wilson is very wholesome in
this matter.
