irg the fighting line with munitions and
ir releasing men in other than war in
dustries for the front, in this latter
capacity women are substituting for
men in occupationssuch as driving mo-
tors, work in railway trains and sta
tions, police, farm, factory, and office
work. In the munitions factories Lloyd
George estimates that about 100000 wo
men are employed (17ao of the total
number of workers said to be employed
in this industry alone last summer)
These figures take nc account of the
work of women in the textile and needle
trades which contribute so directly to
the well being of the army. In Ger
many, too, this process of releasing men
for the front goes on, and recent Ger
man authority estimates that 1870 of
their output of high explosives is the
work of women.
Small wonder that man like Lord
Northcliffe should express publicly his
change Of heart, for he has seen that
in the words of a noted English critic
nation is an ocean Of force, of which
the army is but the crested wave. z

SIGNS OF mHE TIMES.

Tn Illinois the presidential and munich
pal suffrage law has barely survived the
recent attack upon its constitutionality
and is again threatened, if the proposed
suffrage amendment is passed.
The two burning questions under CON
sideration in Springfield, which are
vital to suffrage locally, as well as ma
tionally, are as follows Shall suffrage
amendment to the present state consti-
teton be submitted, thereby accepting
the almost certain defeat at the polls,
with four years delayg or, Shall the
women concentrate their efforts on Sc
curing much needed new state con-
stitution, which will give them full suf-
frage for all time?
The concensus of opinion amongst
constitutional lawyers, men in political
life, social workers and club women in
general, favors the constitutional con-
vention, and rejects the submitting of a
suffrage amendment to our present con-
stitution, as step which entails too
great danger to the suffrage cause.
Defeat OF such an amendment would put
into the hands of the enemies of suf-
frage, two-edged weapon with which
to destroy the cause nationally and in
the state.
It is unfortunately too true that men
IN public life. avowed enemies of
suffrage principles, are willing to sup
port a suffrage amendment resolution
IL the legislature knowing that the
amendment will be defeated at the polls,
and win consequently kill the suffrage
question in the state for at least four
years.
1t is an acknowledged fact in recent
suffrage history, that whenever a suf-
frage amendment has been submitted
&c the men voters, it has been defeated
1t is interesting to note in this con-
nection that the women have voluntarily
withdrawn the suffrage amen lment in
the present legislature of Indiana and
Michigan, feeling more sure of gaining
full suffrage through the constitutional
convention, a call for which has already
been sent out.
TO submit suffrage amendment in
the legislature at Springfield, to the
state constitution under present condi
tions, would be to court certain defeat
Defeat in Illinois would not only
ieopardize our present law and set back
the suffrage in this state, but it would
initiate against every other state

womankind only from the sidelines for
more years than I may care to acknoW

when I was woman-managed with the
recollection of these resulst: y

At the same age was coached to

grandmother was present at Thanksgiv-

that the family went to the Unitarian
church, if it went to any, which was
rare.

bribery and not by finesse.

Women Do Vote.

81 don't believe in it, remarked
prominent Kenosha citizen to me
early in the fall campaign-"it" of
course being woman suffrage. "Not
that women are not intelligent enough, =
he added, "but they won It vote-they
don It Vote
The picture of his highly trained eff
ficient wife flashed before my eyes and
his tribute to the intelligence of my sex
did not greatly surprise me. With a
thank you' for the compliment, /
challenged his second statement ex-
claiming, "But Mr.. 2 they will
vote, they do vote.'
Then we got down to statistics.
He promised to take the Nov. Z, vote
of Denver women (Which city he knows
welD as test, and offered to bet me
that not 125,000 women would vote in
Chicago. He lost his bet. The rec
ords of the Chicago Commissioner of
Election show that $685. women voted
in that city Now for the Denver
proposition Ex-senator Helen Ring
Robinson of Colorado was appealed to
for figures and here answer follows:
81 should have replied to your ques-
tion sooner but it has not been easy
to answer. You know the women voters
are not segregated here in Colorado, as
they are in illinois, for example, and
| it is necessary to go oven all the poll
books of all the polling precincts, two
hundred in Denver, in order to determ-
inc the proportion of women voters in
the last election. Fortunately | was
able to enlist the services of the Demo
cratic county chairman and she had the
work done for me-with the results that
I can give you what was to me the
startling information that in our last
election in Denver, So per cent of the
entire vote was cast by women. The last
time I made such an investigation was
four years ago, when | spent a good
deal of time and money comparing the
votes of men and women as cast in vari
Gus representative counties. At that
time the poll books showed that at the
last preceding election 48 per cent of the
entire Denver vote had Been cast by
women. | put these figures side by side
because they seem to prove what my
experience has been leading me to be
lieve--that women are increasingly in
terested in the public questions which
affect them and all other women, as
well as men and children too'
/ Think straight and play fair, Mr.. z
If $3.50 of Denver s vote was cast by
women, if nearly 100000 voted in Chi
cago and over 100000 in Illinois would
not Kneosha women do as well if Wis
consin men would give us the chance?
Believe me, if you with your record
for public service, were up for mayor
the women of this town would turn out
to vote for you. They would not rur
the risk of letting the men choose some
one less fair minded than yourself tt
govern the conditions under which they
and their children were to live. Unless
of course, you were running agains

would be just as hard for women as 70,

ments. against it, and millions for it.
In the first place, who gave the men
the exclusive right to vote7 They sim
ply took it-men always did have "tak-
ing ways i" For almost a century and
a half! men have made the laws for our
country; and the hopeless failure they
have made, is alone, enough to give the
vote to women. This is not govern
ment of the people, by the people and
for the people; it is government of the
men, by the men and for the men.
Statistics show that for every i'm
moral woman there are nineteen i'm
moral men. And these same men will
contend that woman Is place is in the
home. Certainly it is; but equal suf
frage viii preserve those homes, and
coming generations win get square

When the news was circulated
That male citizens awaited
The assistance of Kenosha's ladies fair
To help them in improvement
Thru their new-formed civic movement
With twelve dollars we announced that
we'd be there.
We had worked in days departed
In manner most whole hearted
For the things we thought would do
Kenosha good.
So with flesh and spirit willing
At this convocation thrilling
We prepared TO do what ever thing we
could.
We sat with breath bated
And thru fifteen speeches waited
With our ears attuned and listening for
our cue
Till a gentleman, distinguished,
Said we should not be extinguished
For in taking care of garbage we might
do
Then board Of men elected
And committees they selected
But on none of them were women asked
to be.
And as we homewafd wandered
We very sadly pondered
Do men alone make up Community"
