A Long Roll.

Just thing of a petition oyea~ four
miles long and inscribed with over
one million names asking for votes
for women. Makes one dizzy 10 imag-
inc unrolling such scroll of sigma

the Congressional Union has secured on
behalf of woman suffrage. Knocks out
the argument that votes for women is
not a lively and popular demand. The
petition will be unrolled on the East
steps of the Capitol at Washington
and will be a sight worth seeing. As
the procession OF suffragists starts
from the Capitol steps. the petition
will slowly stretch all along renpsyl-

New Condition. for M~xicn. Women.

Much Importance liz attached to the
position that women are expected to
fiil in the new sociA conditions OF
Mexico. The authorities OF some por-
lions of the country have already is
sued calls for assemblies of women to
consider plans and methods for fed
Grated action by women in municipal
and State affairs. This is most radi-
cal change In the traditions and Gus
toms Of Mexico and is a recognition
that a progressive country needs the
and participation of its
women Mexican women may be slow
to respond to their new civic duties.
but their influences and activities will
be for the regeneration, and let us
hope permanent welfare OF this m-
portant southern republic.

MUST CLIP THEIR POWERS.



Atlanta. Nov 1.-THE State pro-
hibition committee OF the Anti-Saloon
League, In statement issued through
The Commonwealth, declares that the
people OF Georgia are almost unani-
nous in their support Of the majority
of the House In the fight to pass pro-
.hlbitlon measures over the protests
of the House minority.
1t is claimed that not only prohi-
bition, but the principles OF demo-
cratic government are involved. Under
the system OF rules built up within
the last few years. one-fifth Of the
members have been able to block and
Illustrate any legislation they agree
to prevent. One-fifth can call for q
roll call consuming nearly an hour
Losing that vote they can then move
to reconsider and one-fifth can de-
mand a roll call on that Losing
again. they can move to adjourn, and
one-f1fth demand roll cal Ion that.
and so on almost without limit, fili-
clustering away the time Of the As
sembly and the money Of the people
of Georgia.
Expressions from over the State
have convinced the majority that the
people are with them In holding up
the appropriation bill. The prohi-
bitionists feel sure that should they
permit the appropriations bill to pass,
the minority would then continue
their f1libustering until Christmas
rather than permit the prohibition
bills to pass. And as nearly a million
dollars a month is said to be spent in
Georgia for liquors, the prohibition
lists believe they understand clearly
the meaning of the plea for time.
