WOmaa'S Suffrd9e

The count after each election shows that
the women suffrage movement is slowly but
surely gaining ground. The compilation
after the election Tuesday places several
states in the list of states in which full sui
frage has been granted and in twenty odd
others tates partial suffrage has been carried:
Five years ago the movement was laughed
at and was mentioned only in derision, but
the leaders have worked quietly and persl-
silently and today it looks like it is question
Of but few years when success will follow
their banner in every state OF the Union.
Their success is due in a great measure to
the unfairness which has characterized the
arguments made by their opponants, TOR al
no stage of the game have their claims been
considered seriously, but on the otherhanG
have been ridiculed and treated with con-
tempt. 1t can be marked down that woman
lsuffrage has come to stay and that in time
; every state will adopt it. We have nevea
believed that any great revolution in poll
tics would follow equal suffrage and arr
: aware of the fact no material benefits hav
!, been pointed out in the states in which i
has been in operation for several years
- However the subtle influence of the womal
e is working its way in politics with the fore
s and certainty and it is too late in the day t

Democratic ReverSeS.

The returns in the congressional elec-l
ton throughout the Union show large re-
publican gains which will reduce the un-
weildv democratic majority in the lower
house to something like twenty members
This result must have been expected oy
those who kept tab on the decadence OIL the
progressive party. 1t was easy to pfeocI
that a large portion of the voters III tns
party would return to the Old Inc fepuoh-
cans.
The movement has been accelerated by
~. disastrous business conditions that have
followed the present administration. NO
small proportion Of these voters come from
the ranks of the conservatives who beheveo
that the policy Of the democrats was rao'cai
and drastic-that two many changes were
crowded together without allowing proper
time for business to adjust'itself to these
changes. But, be the causes what they
NAV. southern democrats can look FORWARD
to napv benefits from the present upheaval,
eliminating as it will from congress members
who were not in sympathy with the party
and who owed their election wholly to polltl'
cal accident. =,
In the next congress the ma onty IN the
lower house will be made up largely Of
southern members whose sphere OF useful
ness will be greatly enlarged. In addition
|, the political power Of the. house Will b.
, pretty we'll divided and wecan expect bette
!, balanced legislation.
And finally, it will be no great disaste
if the administration can be brought to
I realization that it is not mfalhble. and tina
e every section of the Union is entitled to, an
!, will demand, fair and full consideration 0
