But the science Of government Is the

a proof that the science of government

No More WRrsf
Several weeks ago, there were to be
no more wars, and many Of the sufira-
gists were telling US there never would
have been any wars, IF women had
been consulted" or course, II the wom-

It would have made the mobilization Of
armed forces impossible-just as the
great Socialist strike that did not take
place on August s has utterly routed the
Kaiser's advancing legions!

Overwhelmingly in evidence-might be
qualified TO run our governments. The
only way in which this can be brought
about Is for women to constantly exercise
their undoubted spiritual power over
men, from the cradle TO the altar; to win
their supremacy by giving men the in
spiration of Christian ideals. To Join his

is the women who have become most fH-

who recognize its menace. II Is they
who are willing to lead the easy-going
majority of women to assert its independ-

The most foolishly tossed ball will roll
on forever. II II meets no resistance. The
opposition TO woman suffrage Is becom-
ing stronger every year. No more vivid
proof Of this can be had than the fact
that though the sufragists are said TO
have obtained 10000 signatures in New
York alone. In the early eos, the pres
ent membership of the National Associa-

OF our people, but its leaders have lost In

Froduct of Long Course.

The American college woman IS the
product of some nifty years of strenuous
educational training. She is not an unin-
terested. passive person without opin-
ions. nor is she bound by the prejudices
OF party tradition. She is free to thinh
in the logical way that she has been
taught and to base her convictions on the
facts that she has CLEANED from her ac-
curate observation and college study.
Her courses in augmentation and logic
have taught her how to weigh evidence
and to realize the significance Of figures,
as well as to detect flaws in the reasoning
of others. She has also had practice in
mathematics, which has disciplined her
mind. given her clear and active mental
vision and thinking powers II means
something to her when she finds that the
number OF dry towns in California has in
creased from 200 to over 800 since suffrage
was granted TO women: that Idaho and
Wyoming are 90 per cent dry: that out OF
Colorados sixty-twO counties, nifty are
nonlicense: that. though Utah has eight
cen wet counties out Of twenty-eight, six
teen of these eighteen are mining camps

suffrage for twenty years, the school ap-
preparation is $5OS per capita. as against

States. and that Colorado's compulsory
education laws are thought 10 be the best
in the world.
Through zoology and sociology she has

knows what il will mean to allow the
women of the race to be physically and
mentally weakened by Work, lack OF
food, insufficient clothing. and want of
sleep, and what immortality of fathers
and mothers will bring TO their sons
and daughters.
From chemistry and hygiene she has
found the Importance of pure fool ami

Psychology, history. and literature have
brought her close 10 the minds and hearts
Of men and women OF all centuries and
countries and have made her familiar
with the recurrence OF social and pOlitiI al
conditions. The fact has been impressed
upon her that no nation can rise higher

Jack seemed to have plenty of

these attentions which every girl
gets. Jack was most devoted because
I could do with him the things he
likes to do, go where he likes to go.
