Laws enforcing personal RESPONSE

The suffragists Of these states will
go on working as seems best and in
whatever plans they undertake the

association will stand ready to help.

chising women. This will be intro
duced as soon as the next congress
convenes by Representative Frank

Charles s. Thomas of Colorado for
the national association.
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 will come up at the pri-
mary election next June. It will be
voted on next fall by West Virginia
and South Dakota and probably in
Missouri whore initiative petitions
asking for its submission are now in
circulation.
Only those who are unfamiliar with
suffrage work can think that the out

year Is cause for encouragement.
Others feel that we are stronger by a
million votes. Woman suffrage is now
an issue which engages the attention
of tho entire nation. Women are
strongly organized throughout the
country and their devotion and un-
daunted courage make our eventual
triumph in every state inevitable. AS

women have worked for equal rights
I am more sure than ever that the
struggle has been worth while. Moth.

ing than to love great cause and to
have the privilege throughout life OF
working for that cause.

Low, who wrote the president COM
mending his Manhattan club speech,
quotes verses from the thirty-third
chapter of Ezekiel. The president
said:
II am particularly gratified that you

kiel which l have had very much in
my mind recently in connection with
these important matters. It is the
second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth
verses Of chapter 80:

"'He heard the sound of the trum-

An eastern railroad has detectives
employed to get pictures Of regular
loyes caught in the act of drink
ing intoxicating liquors. Such men are
being discharged from the service as
the railroad does not wish to trust
the lives Of it's patrons and employees
and it's rolling stock to men who drink
alcoholic beverages. And so the move
for temperance goes on. The man who
drinks finds his field of activities mar

the American farmer to raise enough
grain to adequately supply this coun-

liquor industry. He will get as much
business, and as much money for the
transfer of "a given amount of grain,
whether that grain is shipped to a
