WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN THE CAMPAIGN

The Republican National committee has decided to make 8 campaign for the women voters in the woman suffrage States because Candidate Hughes has said that he Constitutional amendment giving women the right to vote throughout the Nation while President Wilson though a suffragist. believes that at this time the question is proper matter Tor the States to handle.
 The Republican Congressional committee financed lot of women orators to campaign the suffrage States two years ago and the defeat Of Demo- cratic Congressional nominees because the Democrats refused to submit a Constitutional amendment pro- yiding woman suffrage yet in the election that year the Democrats only held their Congressional strength in the suffrage states but they made gains in both Senators and Representatives in them
 The women voters of the West not foolish. They understand the issues and the status Of the woman suffrage question They understand that only by continuing the campaign for State after State IS there hone for success It is as easy carry State for woman suffrage in that State as it would be to carry it so as to secure ratification of a woman suffrage amendment to the National Constitution, and when they have carried State State proposition the women of that has votes for ever aferward The women in the women suffrage States have be- come practical They feel that it is the part Of wis dom to enjoy the fruits Of victory when victory IS won The idea of carrying a State and then waiting for enough States be carried to secure the adop- ton of a Constitutional amendment before they can vote does not appeal Co them. They know that when State is carried for suffrage under present conditions n remains woman suffrage State. If it should be carried in a contest the rat ncaton Of a Constitutional amendment, with the ac' tual enfranchisement delayed until the adoption Of the Constitutional amendment by the necessary number Of States. there might be a reversal Of male sentiment in that State and the ratification Of the Constitutional amendment might be made the issue for more cam paigns In other words there might be a ten years fight to keep the amendment ratified.
 And further the women Of the West who have votes and who have studied political questions know that in order to secure the adoption of woman sui frage amendment to the Constitution it will be nee essary to carry the necessary number of States in State after State campaigns Then why not carry hreeourths of the States for real suffrage and then ask for the Constitutional amendment?

GOVERNMENT RAILWAY OPERATION

The Washington State Public Service Commission has telegraphed President Wilson recommending that the National government take over the railroads and operate them in the event of the failure 10 prevent the impending strike. The telegram which was signed by E. F. Blaine chairman A. A. Lewis and Frank Spinning the three commissioners says:
 I've realize that most reforms born
 Of the stress of circumstances, and that con
 diton is now likely 10 develop taa' s w wiN, & nOf
 time stagnate the industries or our coun-
 try and misery and loss is inevitable while
 little permanent good will result. unless some
 one. or ones. in authority act in a way that
 hereafter two parties, in three-pary
 affair. can decide they deem best
 The real great party in interest in inter
 state commerce. and communication are the
 people. They have the power and they have
 exercised 1t to control rates. and they have
 10 a certain extent regulated agencies en-
 gagged in interstate commerce and communi-
 cation but when 1t comes to total paralysis
 of these agencies. by strikes. the people in
 horror. look and suffer.
 If the threatened strike occurs. we urge
 upon you that the national government. forth
 with. take possession or all interstate utlll
 ties relating to commerce and information, and
 operate the same pending period in which
 Congress shall have opportunity of passing
 compulsory arbitration law
 This attitude Of the Washington State commis- siOners would suggest that the country might be a great deal nearer public operation Of railroads than we dream. The men who signed this telegram to President Wilson are all of them practical business men. The chairman for many years has been Of
  owner and is heavily interested in Seattle industrial stocks. Mir Spinning is a merchant and wealthy land owner MT. Lewis is accountant. and has been connected with leading institutions of Spokane and was Treasurer of that city when appointed to his present position. The service Of these as the States supervisors of public utilities within the State has convinced them that the people interest in the continuous operation of public utilities than either the owners or employees Of the public service institutions and they contend that 1t is a govern mental obligation make certain that the railroads continue operate regardless of what the difference might be between the employer and employee or when the settlement Of differences might occur.
 No matter what might think of the govern ment operation of railroads and other public utilities nor what one might think of the merits of the demand Of the employees Of the railroads in the present crisis which involves raise in the amount of the payrolls exceeding in the aggregate SlOOOOOOOo year. there is no question but that the interest Of the public is many times greater than that of either the railroad
