Amenament Reported FayorabIx

The Woman Suffrage Committee OF the
United States Senate has reported favor
ably resolution providing for the sub
mission of the suffrage question 10 the
voters ot any state whenever per centum
Of the voters shall 80 petition. Senator
Robert l.. Owen in making the report
said, in part: "The spirit Of the consti-
tutions of thc several states is that the
question Of woman suffrage shall be- de
cied by the voters in such states but IN
very large majority Of the states this
spirit il made imperative because Of the
restrictive machinery provided for giving
IL expression; and the yO'crs Of the state
are prevented from exercising this, their
constitutional right, 10y combcrsomc and
Intellectual legislative machinery. The
barriers which must bc overcome before
the people may express their will amount,
in many instances, TO prohibition
against them of each expression. This
amendment is in accordance wish the
broadest ideals Of democracy this amend
ment will either directly or indirectly be
the means Of bringing great number of
new states into the suffrage ranks, and
will 80 increase suffrage activity that its
effect cannot be over estimated"

West Virginia Well Up In Front Rank

According 10 the twenty-ffth quarterly
statement of the International Sunday
School Association which has recently
been issued, West Virginia ranks thir-
teenth among the states of the union
where Sunday schools have been organ
lied into state associations.
At the present time West Virginia has
go adult Bible classes and the list IL
growing rapidly. The following states
reported in the statement, have more
classes than West Virginia: Pcnnsyl-
vania, 7,425; Ohio, i,S6S; Illinois, 1890; I;
Indiana, 2,506; Kansas, 1925; Ontario,
1896; Alabama, 1,334 New York, 1928 !;
Missouri, l,2Ii; Texas, ,IS3. trom this
it will bc seen that West Virginia, con
sidering population, Is near the top Of
the list as regards Sunday school classes.
little over a year ago the nterna-
tional association apportloned each state
in the union so many classes, which were
TO be secured, il possible, by the time the
next convention OF the association il held
in Chicago next month. West Virginia
was apportioned DIS, and more than this
number have been already secured. In
this connection it is interesting to note
that this state is one OF the six states
which alone secured the number appor-
toned, Alabama, Idaho, Oregon, Penn
sylvania and East Washington being the
other associations TO secure the requested
number OF new classes. 1t was the desire
oil the international association 10 have
the total number Of adult classes i'm its
jurisdiction boosted TO the $4,000 mark
by the time the convention is held in
Chicago next month. The West Virginia
association will endcavor 10 reach the
200 mark by that time.
