Woman Suffrage Department
Edited by a Suffragette.

Although the ship purchase bill backed by the administration, is awaiting action it is said it with other as important measures will be side tracked until the Mondell woman suf- frage resolution has been acted upon. In former years the question of suf- frage was met with smiles and treated as joke, but ''Tempar.l mutantur ct nos mutamur in illis, v "The times have changed, and we have changed with them" a 5 the old Latin maxim expressed it.
 The eyes of the entire country will be focused upon the house at the time of the battle royal for the rec ognition of women as People" and citizens. It is believed that the de- bate in itself will bring prominently to the front and emphasize the fact that suffrage is no longer ques- tion which can be smiled at and pshed aside. The enfranchisement of women has become not only a nation al question, but one of colossal pOli- tical importance, and no one knows it better than the solons who have long ceased smiling and joking about it.
 Chairman Henry of the rules com mitee it is said will give the members a breathing spell after their battle on the prohibition question The house will be the stage about the middle of January upon which the great drama of Equality and Justice will ha en- acted. In the old days when Susan P. Anthony and her intreDid followers dared to ask for the rights and pri- vilegcs accorded even recently en- franchised flliterate colared brothers the solons in congress were unani- nous in informine her with more or lese politeness, that When womeo want the ballot. we shall be glad to grant it to them"
 Tn this day when women not onlv have asked, but have requested and pleaded in vain. for the justice long denied them. the old subterfuge has had to be discarded. With fonr-and- a-half millions of women actually vot- ling, the gentlemen who unlike Secre- tary Bryan are willing to keep rights for themselves which they do not wish to share with their wives mothers and daughters. are wildly searching about to find some other lofty ahd chivalrous sentiment upon which to hang their betraya lof te rights demanded oy the feminine cor- tian of their constituents. fn t'' nredicament State Rights, the olf DoEev man. is taken out anew
 But unfortunately for the oppon- cnts of suffrage. women are not se easily fooled as they once were.
