OTTAWA. Canada. Sept. The
women Of Canada will get the vote. A
government bill crfranchising them
has been introduced By Premier Roo
crt Borden, so that its passage is re-
garded as a foregonc conclusion. 1t
is expected to become law within a
month. 1t will add at least $50, 900 vot-
crs 10 the Canadian electorate.
While this is the biggest victory
achieved By woman suffrage in an Eng
lish speaking country, the measure was
not forced upon the government by
militant or anti-militant suffragists. IL
was the outcome of many weeks OF de
liberation by Canada's most eminent
stateAen as to the best means Of neu-
trailing the enemy alien vote in the
coming election.
One Of its provisions DISTINGUISHES
all citizens born in enemy countries
who have been naturalized since March
81, 1909.
The bill, which is known as the war
time elections act, because its provi-
sions apply for the duration of the
war, gives the ballot to all women Ct
tTenty-one or over who have brothers,
husbands, fathers or sons in active SER
vice. 1t also cnfranchises all women
OF voting age who are British born.
Suffrage for All Time
Members Of Parliament who are
avowedly anti-sufraCe believe that once
the section Of the act giving the vote
TO women is passed it will never be
repealed. As in the United States,
women in some parts Of Canada already
enjoy suffrage, so that once royal ?s-
sent is given TO the election act, il is
believed By most legislators here, it.
will mean equal suffrage in Canada for
all time, even though it would require
the passage Of d new &C. after the war.
As originally drafted. the measure
also disfrsnchised slackers Of every hue.
whether incorporating under the title
Ct anti-cCnscriptionistS, or Conscien-
tous DIRECTORS, or anything else. But
this section was striker out before the
bill was introduced in the House.
Concerning the measure. "The OF
tawa Citizen" On Independent news
paper. has this to say editorially.
1.-THE extension Of the franchise 20
the wives and relatives of Canadian
soldiers should recommend itself to
both sides Of the House Of Commons.

ton the machinery Of the criminal law.
lie is determined to leave nothing IN
done TO discover the slayer Of the
wealthy widow Of Chicago's pioneer
lumber merchant. James {. King.
Chicago authorities telegraphed TO
the Attorney General of North Caro-
lima at noon to-day asking fullest CO.
operation TO dear the mystery OF Mrs.
Kings death by gunshot near the lit
tie village OF Concord a week ago. This
message followed q midnight autopsy
at Graceland Cemetery. The telegram
said.

II am absolutely convinced that Mrs.

Tight-handed. There vas not the

ankle was broken. 1t certainly was
broken before her death
Dispatches from Concord, y. G., said
to-day that Coroner Scar there had ex-
planned the reasons for the finding of q
verdict of accident. He said the spot
where the shooting occurred was very
rough. and il was believed that as Mrs.
King walked across the rocky ground
an injured ankle caused her TO lose ner
footing. Apparently throwing up her
arms in an effort % regain balance, a
pistol she was carving was discharged,
the bullet entering her head behind the
left car.

Government Bill Assures
Vote to Canadian Women
Enfranchses $50 900 Relatives of Soldiers at Front Liberals
Move to Extend Ballot to ALL Enemy
Aliens Deprived Of Vote

In this war of democracy against su-
tocrscy the government will be acting
wisely in thus extending democracy
through the franchise. On the same
principle it will be well advised not
10 give too much heed to the idea Of
restricting democracy by DISTINGUISHING
citizens Of alien birth.
Act Is Commended
1T is right in a Dominion general
election during this war that the wives,
mothers and sisters of the citizen sol
diers of Canada should be allowed TO
vote, at least, on the same terms as
men. II would be the height Of irjus-
tice to allow men. for instance, who can
claim exemption from military service,
to vote. while refusing the vote to
women whose men folk are overseas.
Though many of the Canadian sol
diers have been on active service for
over three years practically without
relief. and there are surely well over
a hundred thousand men in Canada
who could very well be enlisted to give
some relief TO the hard pressed early
divisions, il has become necessary to
hold general election 10 decide
whether the Canadian forces shall be
supported by CONSUMPTION or deserte d
under the pretenSe Of voluntary re-
cru;tinc. The women folk Of Canada
who have relatives on active service
should certainly he allowed to express
themselves through the ballot before
group Of political party opportunist'
are allowed to betray them"
Speaking OF Acknowledgement pro
visions of the act. "The Citizen" says:
"Disfranchisement is not the way to
fight autocracy. Democracy may seem
troublesome at times, but the remedy
for democracy is more democracy ana
democracy is the best answer to au-
tocracy and absolutism.'
Measure TO BE Resisted
Before the act comes up for passage
some OF its minor features will un-
doubtedly he amended. The Liberals
declare that if its disfranchisement
features are retained IT will be passed
only By the process OF closure. sir
Robert Borden has the votes TO pass
it. and should closure rule be neces-
sary to it's passage one will be adopted.
One Of the first moves Of the Libcr-
ais will be TO amend the act giving the
vote to all women subject TO the gen
eral provisions OF the Dominion fran
Oh se act.
In the House this afternoon Sir Will
frid Laurier expressed regret that the
government had thought 1t advisable
to apply the military service act before
the people we're consulted IN regard TO
il.

PRESERVE The BEAUTY
OF YOUR FURNITURE
Follow the Method of a Famous
Furniture House

Ninety-nine times out of hundred
when a piece of furniture is discarded,
it is because the finish has gone. Other
wise the article is as serviceable as new.
Preserve the finish and you save the
piece.
The method used by the famous To-
hey Furniture Company (Chicago and
New York; is to clean and maintain the
finish by the use of an old secret form
ula developed through many years of
experiment and research. This prepara-
ton is now available to the public in the
form of Tobey Polish, sold by the better
stores everywhere.
Tobey Polish cleanses thoroughly,
easily and quickly, without hard rubbing,
and wipes off dry. 1t removes the foggy
appearance from mahogany and obscures
small blemishes. 1t is perfect prepa-
ration for automobile bodies.
