A ROCKY ROAD AHEAD.

The Presidents exposition of the
administrations program for prepared
ness Is quite a satisfactory advance
over his former position in that mat.
ter. On another occasion. when ad-
dressing Congress. he expressed dia-
metrically opposite views. His has
been swift conversion. owing to n
public sentiment he could not ignore
without irreparably damaging the pros
poets of his party in the approaching
Presidential contest His speech be-
fore the Metropolitan Club OF New York
was most amiably phrased. and real
note of sincerity seems TO have per-
yaded it. but when he comes to the
first barrier with this admirable prop
osition. the House of Representatives,
how will his party handle IL? Roughly

The cause Of woman suffrage
was never so strong as II II to-day,
even in the face OF the four post
ponements which have met our
work this year in New York. New
Jersey. Massachusetts and Penn
syivania- No sane person can use
the word defeat" In connection
with the results from these cleo
tons. On November approx
mately one million men In three
states went to the polls and voted
yes on woman suffrage. Never
has there been such a vote before
in the history OF the movement.
To expect to win four conservative
Eastern States the first time that
the question Is put before the
voters Is TO expect too much, but
every suffragist should feel jubi-
liant that SO many men have been
reached and convinced.
AS short a time as two years ago
the campaign States were not thor
oughly organized for suffrage. A
phenomenal amount OF work has
been accomplished in this short
space Of time. I can think OF no
campaign ever carried on in Amer
lea which can compare with that
which the women have waged this
year. Even five years ago no one
would have dared predict that the
results would be- as ENCOURAGING
as they are. Suffragists should
concentrate their attention on the
actual number OF votes cast for
the amendment. and should not
be In the least discouraged over
the estimated majorities against.
When one million men in three
States vote in favor of a question
II is proof enough that Il Is a live
issue. and that IL will continue to
live.
Never before has the President
OF the United States. the governors
OF so many States. and the leading
men in national life. regardless of
party. been in favor of equal suf-
frage. Perhaps IL takes a back

gists endured. appreciate as
never before the advance which
has been made.
The suffragists OF these States
will go on working as seems best.
and in whatever plans they under
take the National American Wom-
an Suffrage Association will stand
ready TO help. In the meantime,
this association will work unceas-
ingly as IL has for forty-five years,
in behalf of the national constitu-
tional amendment for enfranchis-
ing women. This will be intro
duced as soon as the next Con-
gress convenes by Representative
Frank w. Mondell. OF Wyoming.
and Senator Charles S. Thomas. OF
Colorado. for the national associa-
ton.
In the meantime. other States
are already beginning suffrage
campaigns for 1916. The next
state TO vote on woman suffrage
will be Iowa. where the question
VIII come up at the primary cleo
ton next June. II viii be voted
on next fall by West Virginia and
South Dakota, and probably in
Missouri. where initiative petitions
asking for its submission are now
in circulation.
Only those who are unfamiliar
with suffrage work can think that
the outcome in the four Eastern
States this year is canse for dis
couragement. Others feel that we
are stronger by a million votes.
Woman suffrage Is now an issue
which engages the attention of the
entire nation. Women are strong
ly organized throughout the coun-
try, and their devotion and I'M
daunted courage MAKE our eventu-
al triumph in every State newt
able. AS ] look back over the years
in which women have worked for
equal rights, | am more sure than
ever that the struggle has been
worth while. Nothing bigger can
come to a human being than TO
love a great cause and to have the
privilege throughout life OF work
ing for that cause.
