SUFFRAGE MAKES GREAT GAINS

It Is becoming more difficult and less
necessary to differentiate between States
of the North American Union that are
wholly or only partly committed to equal
suffrage For example. the really impor-
tant thing about suffrage in Illinois is that
women in that State are privileged to vote
in national elections. They cannot, it is
true vote for Governor, but they can vote
for President, and with the ability to vote
for president they are long way further
on the road to Federal suffrage than they
would be IL they could vote for Governor
and vet were excluded from participation
In national elections.
The legislative method Of comforting suf-
frage on women is much more expeditions
than the constitutional, even II IT has some
drawbacks. Seven States have fallen in
with the suffrage procession thus far In
1917. Nebraska being The latest The Leg

along broad lines today. Nebraska makes

This suffrage as has already been explained,

STATE and not to United States franchise,
Altogether, the States I'm which women are
now privileged to vote for President have
l72 electoral votes.

BALLAD OF THE BOOKSTORE

strange and holy place to me,
Her face was one of which I dreamed
The face all lovers sometimes see.
She turned the leaves of old-time books /;
To fancy's mystic land beguiled
Until she felt my ardent looks.
And then oh! heaven Of mine she
smiled.
Boldly / braved her scorn and fear
| talked of books i loved-and said
Each smile they brought, each furtiye tear
Were living tributes to the dead
Through greenest fields of Already
/ led her mid the birds and flowers
In ancient Rome we paused to see
The glory of her proudest hours.

And then Rossettps Damozel;
