PRESS OPINIONS
SUFFRAGE IN 1915.
(Beaumont EnterpriseJ.

beaumont Enterprise).
The rapidity with which the equal
suffrage movement is gaining strength
compels the conclusion that it will
not be long before women will be in
full possession of the ballot in prac-
tically all the states of the union. This
conclusion is inevitable, when the
facts are dispassionately examined,
without reference to personal opin-
ions on the wisdom of giving women
the right to vote. 1t is not at all i'm
possible that the presidential electo-
rate at the next election may be near
ly doubled by the addition of women's
votes. Here are some figures COM
piled by New York newspaper that
show the strength of the suffrage
movement:
Over 14,157,0S2 women may be able
to vote for president in 1915. In the
whole United States the number OF
women Fl years and over was in 1910,
24,555,754; the number of women 81
and over in the nine full suffrage
states is more than 1,99S,O73, while in
Illinois the number is over 1,567, 491
making a total of more than 1856, 1854
women over 81 in states where women
are now entitled to vote for president
The 1914 probabilities (Which include
the states where the amendment has
already been submitted by the initia-
tive petition) should add $500, POI wo-
men over 81, and the 1915 probabilities
should add approximately 7,286,317
making a total of 14,000,000. a suffi-
GENTLY formidable number to receive
the consideration of every political
party. BY the same forecast 29O out
of total of 531 electoral votes will in
1915 be cast from equal suffrage
states.

SHE NOW HAS THE TELEPHONE.
Taylor, Texas, Journal.


A lady living in the country has a
husband she loves. Recently he came
to town in his wagon loaded with pro-
duce for sale. He was to return in the
evening. But a very heavy rain fell
and at g O'clock he had not reached
home. She knew he did not get drunk
and was almost certain that he had not
left her. but she feared that swollen
streams had caught him and maybe he
was dead. She knew which wagon
yard he stopped at, but she had no
phone. A neighbor, half mile away,
had the Southwestern. She determin-
ed to inquire. for her beloved. The
mud was deep and it was raining, but
away she went leaving the children at
home. Soon one shoe was lost, she
fell down and became very muddy, but
