hllttee of the National American No-
l,ians Suffrage association marks a
a 90 !! victory for the western branch

Iillnols s~uffragists. Headquarters here
were established by Mrs. Medill Nc
Sortnlck. who will divide her time be-
tween chicago and Washington. Other
important figures at the Headquarters
mere are Mrs. Antoinette Funk, Miss
Bowen.
suffrage has become a
i..tiohal Issue" said Mrs. Mccormick.
80 rapidly have the victories been
won during the last few years that ii
assumed national proportions almost
"eiofe the leaders realized it. In view
OF thls change the officers of the ma
.lonal association decided to enlarge
polfl the congressional committee and
the scope of its work.
Ihere is the most pleasant feeling
petWeen the women on the committee
OF last year-Miss Alice Paul and Miss
Lucy Burns-and h new committee.
Inc only reason the national decided to
change and enlarge the committee was
because of the great amount of work
lhat must be accomplished by it.
by naming entirely different ex-
OI Nv COIIlIllltleC
n the union this difficulty is en-
,t1rely obviated. Miss Paul and Miss
Burnas have withdrawn from the con-
gressional committee, but remain with
the union.
"The congressional organization
work will be carried out after a new
plan. each state president will be
called upon to call a board meeting at
which a state congressional chairman
will be elected.
These state chairmen will name a
chairman for ZACH congressional dis
trlct. and these will be called on to
keep their congressman we'll posted
on the suffrage situation in their dis
trlcts, its growth, development, and
strength.
I'VE shall do away with all idea of
militancy. Our campaign will be en-
tlreiy along educational lines. We
shall not try to force the congress-
men. There is really a great deal of
ignorance on the subject of suffrage in
the minds of many men and we Shall
attempt to inform them and to keep
them posted with the growing senti-
ment in their districts.
I'VE shall plan for a big speaking
campaign. Mrs. Antoinette Funk will
probably take charge of this work.

A Prophetic Tale.
From The Last War In the World,'

From 1.-THE Last War In the World by
H. G.. Wells, in the Century.
Through so years of peace he had never
once been found wanting. and at maneu-
vers his impressive persistence had per-
plexed many "a more actively intelligent
man. Deep in his soul Dubois had hidden
his one profound discovery about the
modern art of warfare. the key to his
career. And this discovery was that no.
body knew: that to act, therefore, was
to biundef. 10 walk was to confess, and
that the man who acted slowly and stead
tasty and. above all, silently. had the
best chance of winning through. Mean
while one fed the men. Now by this same
strategy he hoped to shatter those mys-
FERROUS %unknowns of the central European
Delhi might talk of a great
flank march through Holland with all
the British submarines and h~ydroplanes
and torpedo craft pouting up the Rhine
in support of it: Ward might crave for
brilliance with the motor-bicycles, aero
planes. and skee-men among the Swiss
mountains and a sudden swoop upon vi
emma: the thing was to listen and wait
for the other side to begin experimenting.
1t was all experimenting. And mean
while he remained in profile. with an air
of assurance. like a man who sits in an
automobile after the chauffeur has had
his directions.
And every one about hin was the
stronger and sureT for that quiet face
that air of knowledge and unrufied con.
fidence.

THINKING OF PEACE
From the Valley Falls INan.) Farmers
indicator.

NIIIOlCdNoi.
For 100 years the United States and
Canada have lived. side by side. and no
thought of war of one nation against the
other has ever had consideration. And in
that time the long international line be-
tween the two countries has been
unprotected by soldiers and the lakes
have been kept free from warships- There
between the nations and trouble that
would bring about armed conflict is
farthost from the thought of the people.
And why is this? 1t is because the people
of these two lands have been thinklng
about peaceful pursuits rather than war:
1t is because both Canada and the United
States find peace much more to their lik-
ing than the bloodshed that comes with
a contest at arms And why not have
the same feeling for the rest of the world"
The average American citizen, the same
as the average citizen of any civilized
land under the sun. If given a right to
nave an opinion of his own. will feel the
same way. The people, themselves. are
not begging for war. rather are they
against it. If war comes. anywhere. it
but because huge property interests make
demands on the government. and. rcgl-
ments go forth to fight for the value of
the dollar. Blu there is little danger of
now. The building of each new battleship
helps to make people think more of war
than of peace. and thinking war must al
ways precede actual conflict. The world
is getting farther away from this. year
by year. The movement started by the
now pushed forward by England as we'll
as the United States. is one that sooner or
later. is to receive tho endorsement of all
thinking people all over the world. The
expensive battleship building and naval
expansion.

No Treason in II.
From the New York Tribune.


There is no need for Senator Cummins
and Senate Nelson to get excited about
the immigration advertising campaign
which the Canadian authorities have been
conducting in this country. Mr.. Nelson.
for instance. dropped into George Cohan
melodrama when he said to an American
syndicate man who had placed a good
deal of this advertising: You were hired
to do an act of ~disloyalty to your country;
are you not ashamed of it?"
From a national point of view there is
no disloyalty Involved in advertising OPP
portunities to acquire cheap and in
Canada. even if some of the advertise
ments are n-ear-romance in the guise of
pure reading matter. A big country with
IS, Geo, 900 people cannot be much injured il
a few hundred thousands of it's citizens
try to better their fortunes in the unde-
veloped territory of a smaller %neighbor.
Many Americans leave the northwest to
go into western Canada, but as many
Canadians from the eastern and central
provinces move into New England, New
date Canadian immigration into this coun-
try has o~utnunbered American immigra-
ton into Car.-la.
This exchange benefits both nations.
our trade with Canada is increasing by
leaps and bounds in spite of the Canadian
preferential tariff, which discriminates in
favor OF imports from Great Britain. The
larger the inflow and outflow of settlers
the stronger will commercial ties become,
and If those ties can be strengthened
neither country need worry about the pos
slbll1ty of closer political union. Canada
and the United States are better neigh
bors than ever, despite the rejection of
the Taft-Laurier reciprocity treaty in
1911. Commercially we shall some day be
a homogeneous area. Why quarrel, then,
about the intermixture which must pre-
cede homogeneity? If the Canadians want
70 spend their money here advertising
Canada's attractions, it is a good invest
ment Tor us as well as for them.

MAETERLINK'S
TRiBUTE TO WOMEN

They lead us close to the gates of our
being. May it not be during one of those
profound moments when his head is pill
lowed on a woman's breast that the hero
learns to know the strength and stead
fastness of his star? And indeed. will any
true sentiment of the future ever come to
the man who has not had his resting
place in a woman heart?
She knows. And if you think YOU have
deceived her, and that her impression is
and you yourself who are mistaken: for
you are more truly that which you are in
her eyes, than that which in your soul you
believe yourself to be-and this even
though she may forever misinterpret the
meaning of a gesture. a smile or a tear.

The estimates given out today are
