How Suffrage Is Losing.
The second vote on suffrage in the
case of both Michigan and Ohio. demon
strated a growing opposition to woman
suffrage where the public has the maxi
mum information about the issue. From
1910 to 1912 suffrage was booming-sO
was the late Progressive party, which
had a suffrage plank in its platform.
Mass meetings and demonstrations. prac-
tically all the publicity the leaders want

membership attended the cause" after

votes, and thousands OF sincere political

those abnormal majorities'' the suf-

in 1915 it will be as dead as the Pro-
gressive party"
Thus we see that suffrage is not a
national issue. and rather going instead
OF coming as a State question. Now
why is this true? Why after sixty-five
years OF argument and agitation do so
few women want to vote? Does il not
show something fundamentally false in
political principle meeting with such
long continued and increasing opposition:
We must remember that woman suf-
frage agitation brought the first in
stance in history where the proposed
electorate protested against its own en-
franchisement. IL is always said by suf-
fragists. that no argument has ever been
advanced against woman suffrage that
was not adVancei also against the eN-
tension of manhood suffrage. And this
usually passes unQLCstioned. though we
do not believe the staunchest advocate

All to Be Beautiful.

brains, and will prove herself the best
wife and mother the world has ever
known.
Whatever else the superwoman
shows herself she will not be a sub

declared firmly, For fifty years
women have been trying to be like
men, instead of to perfect themselves
as women. AS see her the super.
woman will be woman plus, not
woman minus. She will be more
beautiful, more brilliant, more noble
than the woman of today, but instead
of growing away from wifehood and
maternity she will bring both to a
perfection they have not previously
known.

Where the mind is without fear and
the head is held high And, of course
to win this state the mind must be
educated, not in the schools alone but
through contact with life. A super.
woman without brains of the first
order is inconceivable.
THE superwoman is bound to be
accompanied by the superman and the
superchildren," finished Mrs. Cooper.
"They may not come for thousands of
years, but by keeping the vision of
them well before us we shall hasten
their day."
Meanwhile, don't get the super
