THE COMING ERA.

One must be blind if he cannot things shaping
for for Imperial Valley. During the last few
weeks there have been five six separate large deals put
through for land in the valley with view to subdivisions
after improvements shall have been made.
The buyers in these cases bankers or other meE
of large means and all of them planning for big
future to open within the next year.
In several of these the investors have looked
we'll over the whole country in search of the locality OF
erng the greatest opportunity and have decided on this
valley and they acting the theory that the first
great activity following the present depression will be on
agricultural lines.

and endurance of ALL there satisfaction in the unques

and that much better day is near at hand.

State Editors,
v1croRY EoRE /! SUFFRAGE i !: !: |,

Acting In response to the expressed
wish Of a. large number OF people Of
wesr Virginia, the state legislature
yesterday passed the Joint resolution
submitting the woman suffrage ques-
ton to the popular vote That this
was the proper action for the legisla-
ture to take there! can be no question.
Suffrage IS prominently popular
question and the wishes Of the people
can be accurately determined in no
other way but through a state wide
vote. IN
or course, Il is Impossible to say
what the result OF the vote on the
constitutional amendment will be, but
the indications are that 1T will receive
large majority. West Virginia has
never been violently opposed to woman
suffrage and ON the other hand has
always seemed to have a distinct lean
ing in that direction. Alcampaign will
OF course be carried on In favor of the
amendment from now until the cleo.
tion and with such an excellent start,
It has every chance ofSsuccess.
A few OF the many good reasons for
equal suffrage are: It Is right that
those who obey the laws and pay taxes
should have part In making the
lava; that excellent Legislation OF
many kinds would be secured more
quickly IL women had the vote; unjust
laws to women would be amended
more quickly: Acknowledgement would
better women's wages; i would In:
crease the proportion of'educated and
native born voters: Il would increase
the moral and law abiding vote; It Is
the quietest easiest and most dignihed
way of influencing public affairs.
Also It may be truthfully stated, the
