time to assemble the results and

journed it is time to assemble the results and
make q report.
1--WE had ten members of the house and two
senator's. AS the legislature closes we are the
only party in Kansas which has q long list of par
ty pledges redeemed. Most Of these pledges are
more or less flea-bitten and ham-strung with
jokers; but if the fundamental idea in them is
good, the jokers will be worked out at the next
legislature.
I'VE have eight important platform pledges
redeemed. The first is for rural credits, the Sec
ond for rural high schools, the third for minimum
wage, the fourth for an eight hour day for
women, the fifth for a mothers pension, the
sixth for clean advertising which will drive out
quacks, the seventh prohibiting fee splitting be-
tween surgeons and doctors, and the eighth estab-
fishing semi-monthly pay day.
1--WE demanded local detention home for
women more than Is years old, and the legisla-
ture gave cities and counties over $4,000 the
right to establish municipal farms where such
women may be wholesomely employed.
"Now we make no claim that the dozen Bull
Moosers in the legislature did these things. They
only helped They introduced the bills But we
do claim that the noise we made, the crowds we
drew, the educational campaign we conducted has
brought results"

Suffrage Notes
In This Column WIN Equal Suffrage Cause

Since January 1, 1915, nine states
have passed in their legislatures, by
large majorities, the amendment In
favor of full suffrage for women. They
are New York. New Jersey. Massa-
chusetts. Iowa. West Virginia. Ten
nessee, Arkansas, South Dakota and
Pennsylvania.
Two suffrage states have gone on
record against race track gambling,
Washington and Montana. The Butte
Miner, which led the campaign in Mon
tana, says editorially: 1.-THE women
splendidly demonstrated how impor-
tant a factor they are in all matters
OF legislation in this state, just as
they are in all other affairs of i'm.
portance to thecommonwealth." Other
| suffrage states which have previously

Idaho.
The Kansas senate recently passed
resolution declaring equal suffrage

houses passed the baby BILL" which
creates bureau of child hygiene and
which the women have been working
for ever since the legislature con.
vened. The bill for a woman's well
fare commission to protect women and
apprentices. also passed.
The Boston Globe says: Apparent
ly there isn't much the matter with
Kansas now so far as prosperity goes.
Comparative statistics show a tele-
phone for every home and motor car
for every seventh home, and the per
capita wealth of the people is littls
