A HAPPY EASTER.

Never before have the suffragists
had so much reason for happiness on
Easter Day. For the first time wom-
en- now have the right to vote in
twelve States Of the Union and one
territory.
In addition. within tho last three
months ten State Legislatures have
given sweeping majority votes OF both
houses for constitutional amend
ments extending full suffrage TO
women Massachusetts, New YORK,
New Jersey. Pennsylvania. Iowa,
West Virginia. Tennessee, Arkansas,
South Dakota and Maine.
In Tennessee it must pass another
Legislature before going to the
voters. in Arkansas it will have TO
wait two years because only three
amendments can be submitted at one
time. and in Maine the vote in one
house fell short Of the needed tWo-
thirds. In the seven other States the
amendment is now squarely before
the voters-a fine showing for the
first three months Of 1915. II Is the
more remarkable since the uniform
policy of the organized opponents OF
equal rights has been to urge legisla-
tors on no account to submit con
stitutional amendment for suffrage e
the voters, but to decide the question
in the negative on their own re
sponsibility.
The only exception is New York

FORMIDABLE WAS SUNK
And 600 BRITONS LOST
MINE OR SUBMARINE is BLAMED
BY THE BRITISH AD-
MIRALTY.

Londen.=The destruction of the
British battleship Formidable in the
English channel Friday by mine or a
submarine, although one of those
events Englishmen now realize must
be expected SO long as the British
navy is compelled to keep the seas.
has caused widespread grief.
This is due, not so much to the loss
of the ship, which was Is years old
and cost about S5,000,000, as it is for
the 600 men who are believed to have
gone down with her. Thus far only
150 men of the Formidable crew of
$50 are known to have been rescued.
A light cruiser picked up so and a
Tor Bay trawler, 70. Among the res
cued are eight officers and six midship-
men.
The Daily Chronicle states that sur
vivors of the battleship report that tho
vessel was torpedoed both fore and
aft and sank almost Immediately.
The British Admiralty has not an
nounced the locality, where the dis
aster occurred, and declares it is UNI
able TO say whether the ship struck a
mine or was torpedoed, but the incli-
nation here is to believe that sub
marine again has been successful in an
attack

On the subject of an income tax, the
commission says: while the federal
comes above $4,000 per annum, we see
no reason why the state should not AL
so make this a source of revenue, as
he who is making money is more able

amendment to our constitution pro.

with this change in our law and rigid
economy practiced in all departments

ure Senators who voted against the
bill were: Brandegee, McCumber,

The bill passed the house February

Although the Senate amended the

literacy test was unaltered save for
an additional exemption to Belgium
subjects, which was adopted Friday.
Among Senate amendments which

Another strengthens the phraseoIosy
