Woman Suffrage
Continued from page y

obligations that will be repudiated?
In states where women have the
ballot. partial or complete, what per
cent of the women voters go to the
polls? Women are privileged to
vote in educational matters in Wis
consln. This question that concerns
the education Of their children is the
one that appeals most to their in
terests. Do they attend the school
meetings? Do they go to the polls
to vote on the propositions concern
ing education?
Miss Ida Tarbell, the author, says:
1.-The reason we do not have suff-
rage is because the great majority
of women care nothing about it. If
good one-third Of the women Of
the country were interested in suff-
rage we would have it tomorrow"
Women can vote in several of the
far western states where the men
far outnumber them. Wyoming, we
think, was the first state to grant
the ballot to women, and Colorado
the second
When Wyoming gave the ballot
to women the state contained less
than ten-thousand inhabitants. Since
1910 four far. western states, includ-
ing California with its 100000 in
habitants have been added to the
suffrage column, and IN the mean
time ten states with a population Of
sc, 100000, have rejected woman
suffrage. The population of all the
suffrage states combined is about
100000. In six Of these suffrage
states women voted for President in
1912. It seems that in these states
women swelled the socialist vote out
of proportion to the vote of that
party elsewhere. Debs, Socialist
candidate, received 159, 496 while
the New England states, with
population nearly as large, gave
him but O,17O. How does woman
suffrage stand in public estimation
where it has been longest in prac-
tice? / cut an extract from the
Rochester Post Express and tran
scribe a paragraph:
"A movement is on foot in Color
ado to form a permanent Organiza-

for referendum to abolish woman

20 years and is said to be sick of it.

er citizen to forward the suffrage
movement, though against the pro-
test and the intuitions of his little
wife" is now convinced that she was
right. He expresses himself with
Western breeziness and vigor when
he says: woman suffrage has
put morality on the blink, has de-
stroyed the home as fact as well as
an ideal, has developed sex hate and
popularized the ethics Of race sui

he declares, will not go to the polls.

and ammunition right up to the front.
motorized military transportation has
played an important part In the expedi-
ton. into Mexico, according to letter
received by the Packard Motor Car
Company from one of Its drivers accom-
panying the army.
The letter, written on April 9. gives a
thrilling account Of what desert truck
ing under military necessity means.
IL reads. In part. as follows:
I'VE are back In Columbus, after hav-
ing done 600 miles into the interior OF
old Mexico. The roads are not roads
at all. and you can never realize what
we have accomplished.
I'VE have been to the direct front
within seven miles o. where Villa is
supposed to be hiding-and were the
first to reach the Seventh Cavalry, who
had been eight days without supplies.
III you could have seen those boys
when we reached them on April 1. II
surely was no April fool for them.
They had been forty hours In the sad
die. and had literally killed sixty OF
their horses because or lack OF feed
and water for the animals.
Tn going through to them we went
forty miles further than any other
trucks have penetrated, and we are
surely getting the credit for It. Cen
eral Pershing has named ours the
flying squadron, and has asked Gen.
erai Funston to detail our company TO
carry supplies to his command. We
leave tomorrow morning at s to 90

east. There is no reason why from
fifteen to twenty-five millions of dol
lars should not come in to and pc

had q comprehensive system OF high

the tremendous saving to farmers IN

other advantages will accrue to the
state from a complete system OF
highways and l have been thinking
that 1t would really pay the State or
Louisiana to have an extra session
Of the legislature to take UP this
matter OF good roads, and plenty OF
them. and dispose of It at an carry
date. We are losing money every
year in which we delay. It's bound
to come about, the sentiment OF the
people OF the state Is soverwhesmlng-
" for good roads and the people
should be given what they demand.
Representative Alexander, who IS
looked upon as the leading good
roads champion in the legislature,
is evidently preparing for the battle
two years hence. Good roads en-
thusiasts regard him. as one OF the
most powerful and influential men
IN the state who has taken the lead
in the cause, and they are rallying
to his support. He is one OF the
biz business men of the state. with
agricultural Interests besides and IS
a strong supporter Of Gov. Pleasant.
NJ. L. Alexander, president OF the
State Conservation Commission, his
brother, was recently re-appointed by
Governor Pleasant because OF his re-
markable record. Hall men and
Pleasant men all over the state APP
plauded the governors action.

~. ALEXANDER MAY ADVO.
CATE EXTRA SESSION FOR
GOOD ROADS LEGIS-
LATION.

New Orleans, Sept. declaring
that Louisiana is losing millions OF
dollars annually because she has 80
few good roads and suggesting that
an extra session of the legislature
especially to handle the. situation
mixht be advisable, Representative
]. w. Alexander, of Rapides. gave
out information during recent visit
to New Orleans, which is apt to dra "
attention from every section OF the
State.
II was Mr.. Alexander that led the
spirited good roads fight in the last
session OF the legislature which all
but carried the Twenty Million Dol
lar Good Roads Bond Issue, that lost
by but two votes and which stirred
up the good roads sentiment from
one end Of the state to the other.
That Representative Alexander mas
given up the fight, no one who knows
him for q moment believes and his
tentative suggestion for an extra SEES
sion is q convincing indication OF his
determination.

friend in Colorado said Mr.. Alex
