Hasn't "Reasoned II Out"

Maine anti-suffragists tell us tina
men who support the equal suffrage
movement have not stopped to reason
out" the effect upon women and upor
the country.
But President Woodrow Wilson ha:
written to the chairman of the suf
fragists' organization in New Yorl
state as follows:
~ learn with sincere pleasure Of
your impression Of growing SEN
tinent IN the state Of New York
in favor Of woman suffrage and
shall look forward with the great
est interest to the results Of the
state conference which you are
planning to hold in Saratoga. May
! not express the hope that that
conference will lead to a very
widespread interest in your cam
paien and that your efforts will
be crowned with the most SUBJ
stantiaI and satisfactory success"
But perhaps he hasn't paused t.

that department. On page 4 Of the
same issue is a statistical table OF
foreign trade, already published by
the Department OF Commerce and
made available to every man who has
use for the information. Those sta
tistics were also nearly two months
old, and they had no bearing upon the
prosecution Of the war. At time
when the government is urging the
practice Of economy upon its citizens
in their private affairs. it would seem
that needless duplication might be re-
strained in a new administrative pu-
reau which has little excuse for ex-
istence at best.

SUFFRAGE a Success

Suffrage is growing cause. No
iugglery Of facts and figures can
change the truth Of this statement.
The women of nineteen states now
have the right to vote for president.
o. these eleven have the right of full
suffrage In the majority of the states
some form of woman suffrage prevails.
The woman suffrage states control 172
votes in the electoral college.
Will Maine sec the political expcdi :
ency Of enfranchisirg its women or
will Maine let the balance of power
swing her westward with greater mo-
n entum? This question is for the vot-
ers to decide on September 10. Can a
state afford to close its eyes to the
light?
Suffrage has worked so successfully
in all tic states that have tried it. sew
eral for a quarter Of century and
over. that there is not the slightest
reason to think it will ever be repealed.
Legislatures year after year pass reso-
lutions recommending woman suffrage
to the other states.
In every equal suffrage state every
governor. every Chief Justice and i'm
portant official clergyman. educators
and other prominent citizens have de-
clared that woman suffrage is SO
strongly ontrerchod in the approval of
the people that no power can ever re-
move it.
Colorado is the state that comes in
for the major part of the attacks on
woman suffrage despite the fact that
men Of highest repute in every walk Of
life have denied these MEASUREMENTS
by both spoken and printed word
The Denver Chamber of Commerce
in 1915 passed a strong resolution deny
ing the false statement that woman
suffrage had not worked out to the
benefit Of the state in Colorado.

Editors Letter Box
The Grange and Suffrage

Editor kenncDeC JOUrnal:
In a brief letter in the Journal of
August 9th. the writer claimed that
many members of the order would like
to know the State Masters position
regarding the question OF equal suf-
frage. not as an individual voter. but
as the head of tie Order of Patrons
Of Husbandry in Maine. and as three
weeks have passed and no statement
has been made by him, it is reason
able supposition that he will not make
any statement regarding the matter,
in which many members of the order
are deeply interested
When the Order of Patrons of Hus-
bandry was first instituted. about half
poses was adopted. and not a single
word of that declaration has been
changed. because the principles and
purposes of the order are stated so
plainly that no combination of words
in the English language can possibly
make it any palmer.
The declaration of purposes says:
eve emphatically and sincerely assert
the oft-repeated truth taught in our
organic law, that the Grange-Na
tiOnal, State. or subordinate-is not a
political or party organization. No
Grange. if true to its obligations, can
discuss partisan or scctarian ques-
lions, nor can political conventions
nor nominate candidates. nor even dis
cuss their merits in its meetings. Yet
the principles we teach underlie all
true politics. all true statesm0 nshlp
and. if properly carried out. will tend
to purify the whole political atmos-
phere Of our country. For seek
the greatest good to the greatest num-
Der" Webster's definition Of the word
politics is "the art of government"
