SUFFRAGE FIRST ON BALLOT;
MEANS GAIN OF $4,000 VOTES
Women Obtain Favorable Position on
Constitutional Amendment Sheet.

Woman suffrage will stand first on the
official ballot in the list of proposed
Amendments to the Constitution. the fate
OF which will be determined by popular
vote on November 2.
This advantage is the result of the
efforts of the members of the Pennsyl-
van!a Woman Suffrage Association to
have preference given TO the suffrage
amendment.
The amendment is not lengthy, and II
passed will necessitate only the insertion
of the words "or female" in a clause of
Section 1. Article VIII OF the State Con-
stitution. That instrument then will con-
fer the franchise on every citizen, male
or female. Of q years Of age"
Suffragists believe the favorable POSI-
tion on the ballot will gain $1,000 votes
which otherwise might be lost to the
cause throughout the State.
Three other resolutions will be listed
The Taylor amendment proposes to in
crease the borrowing capacity of Phila-
delphia from to 10 per cent for transit

HOW THE WAR AFFECTS
TRADE

~ HE war serves to stimulate
" business in some lines
and to bring depression
in other fields.
1t is estimated that the for
eign trade of the belligerents
aggregating about $4,000
100000 a year, of which about
50, 2,500,000,000 has been COM
pletely shut off. Of course,
this is a vast disturbance; yet
in proportion to the whole, it
has not thus far proved as seri-
Gus a matter as might have
been anticipated. Our own
foreign trade, as is we'll known
has been much deranged. With
Germany, Austria, France,
South America, China and Ja-
pan our exports have much de-
creased. Fortunately, the loss
es have been more than made
up by shipments of breadstuffs
and war materials to the bel
ligerents. Our exports, partic-
ularly to Great Britain. show a
handsome gain, which did
much to offset the loss of our
shipments to Germany. The
prediction that our excess of
exports over imports for the
twelve months of the fiscal
year would aggregate $1,O00,-
100000 seems destined to be
fulfilled, if not exceeded. That
total has been already almost
reached, with the returns for
three weeks remaining to be
added. OF late, our imports
have recovered somewhat, but
are still considerably below
normal. During the latter
half of the current year our ex-
ports promise to be exceedingly
heavy, and possibly they may
surpass all records.

OPTIMISM NOT ENOUGH

ACCORDING to reports
II from Washington and Ber-
lin "high officials" Of
both nations are very Optimis-
tic over an amicable settlement
of differences between Ger
many and America.
May their statements be
founded on the truth and not
made merely for effect. There
is war enough in the world al
ready and Germany should
have a sufficient number Of
foes by this time to desire a
continuance of friendship with
Uncle Sam.
1t will be recalled, however,
that prior to the receipt of the
former note from Germany
similar optimistic predictions
were made. Yet the German
reply was unsatisfactory. So
it plainly wont do to rely on
optimistic advance reports.

the lesson. Whatever foundation
there was for the Belgian atrocities, it
is certain there has been no repetition
of them in any war territory under
German control.
In their turn the allies owe It to
humanity to demand and see to It, in
so far as lies in their power. that the
skirts of each and every one OF them
shall be clean in this respect. In the
case Of Russia, It is an apparent duty

The American people have no word
but that Of severest condemnation OF
and protest against the devilish tor
lures. the wanton murders, the bru-
tai assaults upon women and the
plundering and pillaging, which have
been the accompaniment. in certain
territories of the European conflict
as they have been of practically all
great wars, ancient or modern II
matters not what nation is guilty, it
makes men everywhere boil with in
dignation and trust that punishment,
according with the crime, will over
take the perpetrators.
Throughout the war now In progress
there have come no more horrible
stories of wanton, inexcusable and
devilsh cruelties than those which
are charged to Russian soldiers in
eastern Prussia. A recent dispatch TO
the Constitution detailing a report
made public by the German legation
in Washington presents actual instan-
ces and hints at others which are al
most beyond the power OF the civiliz-
ed Imagination to attribute to human
beings.
For the sake of civilization, as well
as for their own England, France,
Italy and the other countries engaged
in conflict with the Teutonic powers,
should protest to their Russian ally
against these inhuman outrages and
demand that there shall be no repeti-
tion Of them.
When Belgium was overrun by the
invaders, the allies were quick to use
the stories of cruelty that war gave
rise to for the purpose of arousing
world sympathy. They had also an

A RELIC OF THE DARK
AGES

nlHNDER the laws of Oregon
W a person living in a school
district of the first class,
such as Pendleton, may not
vote unless his or her name ap-
pears as a tax payer on the last
assessment roll. The only ex-
ception is in the case of people
having stock in corporation
or corporations that are as
sessed.
Under this law a woman
may not vote in a school elec-
ton even though her husband
be a taxpayer and even though
she have children in school.
No man with children in school
may vote at a school election
unless he be a taxpayer as stat
ed above. In districts of the
third class, however, any head
of a family may vote even
though he be not a taxpayer.
The law as it stands with
reference to the qualification
of women voters at school cleo
tions is absurd and unfair.
Women are particularly inter
ested in school affairs and are
particularly qualified to judge
of school problems and act up
on them. Yet the majority OF
women are prohibited by law
from exercising the right OF
franchise at school elections.
A bachelor if he is a taxpayer
may vote, a saloonman may
vote or the owner of a bawdy
house but the mother of chill
dren in school is considered
unfit to vote unless by chance
she has some property assess
ed in her own name.
There is no law on the stat
ute books more improper or
more unjust. If there are to be
qualifications for school cleo
