Woman Suffrage For Mexico

All the advancement" is not on the American side
the Mexican border That much was noted recently
connection with the proposed organization of Boy
Scouts in HermOsio, Sonora. It is now noted again
with reference to suffrage A young Ameri-
who interviewed Gen P. Elias Gales, mil
itary commander Of Sonora in Aqua Preta few days
ago, found a movement to enfranchise women well
under way in Sonora.
The general did not express himself, while in EI
suffrage but his interviewer at Aqua Prieta quoted
him saying he much in favor Of giving women
the ballot that he had himself prepared a bill en-
franchising for presentation at the next as
sembly of the Sonora legislature.
Gen Gales is so advanced" however as to be sew
eraI PAGES ahead of the ultra moderns this side of
the line. He would not only emancpate women from
political serfdom, but from matrimony well. His
interviewer quoted him stating he would abolish
marriage which he regarded an evil He would not
permit love be compassed about by the restrictions
which form the tie that binds. He would cause
all children to be taken from their parents
practicable after birth and would have their and
instruction the hands of the state believing thereby
finer class of citizens would be produced He cited
the success already achieved by the school at
HeTmosillo in training 400 orphans, example
1t may be Gen. Calles's idea though he did not so
state Iegaize by such legislation, the iTeg
ular alliances often contracted among individuals
of the poorer class of his people and then allow the
take the children of such unions to train them
for useful lives. There is perhaps certain merit in
the suggestion applied to conditions in Mexico but
the proposal would arouse enthusiasm on this side
of the border. Gen. Gales cannot expect to bear
banner best circles of suffragsts until his
thusiasm for reform is slightly modified.
