Executive Secretary Of the Equal Franchise
Society Of Philadelphia
The Endorsement of women suffrage
by the Pennsylvania Federation of
Womens Clubs, at its convention In
Pittsburgh yesterday, is the beginning
of the end. with woman suffrage
plank in each of the five political parties
of Pennsylvania, with the organized club
women Of the State pledged to the re-
farm, with the w. c. T. U. and other
organizations heartily in favor of giving
women the ballot, failure is not only
impossible, but the goal is almost within
reach.
Organizations are beginning to realize
that they must work for woman suffrage
as we'll as believe in it. The recent ac-
tion taken by the Philadelphia Yearly
Meeting of the Religious Society of
Friends Is a significant instance. Not
content with recording its Endorsement
of equal suffrage as a principle of justice
to women and an opportunity for more
effective service" the Yearly Meeting
recommends that monthly meetings be
watchful for opportunities to influence
equal suffrage legislation and encourage
their members to give active interest in
the accomplishment of this REFORM"
Need we wonder that the efforts of
nearly three-quarters of a century OF
unremtting labor should bear fruit? Is
II not more remarkable that there should
still be any opposition left? How slowly
practice catches UP with theory! For
more than a century and a quarter we
have been holding aloft the flag Of de-
mocracy, at the same time denying to
half the population the right to votel

this inconsistency has become apparent,

complete.
