Vote to Be Taken Thursday.

The vote is to be taken on Thurs
day of this week. 1t should be
dramatic as well as an historic occa-
sion Seats probably will be at
premium. And as each name is called,
as the women and the public gem
orally learn just who the men are
who have changed their views and
made the victory possible. there will
be undoubtedly several infractions of
the rules forbidding applause. The
women feel that victory is within
their grasp. And all the pent-up en-
thusiasm of forty-year fight in
Washington won at last will express
itself on Thursday. For the battle
for suffrage began in 1874. when
Susan b. Anthony proposed the fol-
lowing amendment to the Federal
Constitution:
The right of citizens of the United
States to vote shall not be denied or
abridged by the United States or by
any state on account of sex
The Congress shall have power by
appropriate legislation to enforce the
provisions of this article"
The above was presented to the
Senate by Senator Sargent of Cali
fornia in 1878. and has been present.
ed in the same form each year, and
the same text is to be voted upon
this week. Less than fifty words. but
they mean a great deal when added
TO the Constitution of the United
States.
Votes have been taken in both
houses of Congress ever since 1887,
but not until last January did it pass
the House of Representatives by a
two-thirtds vote. 1t frequently had
had majority. but not the necessary
o-thirds-somethinG very difficult
to get for any piece of legislation, as it
requires considerable support from
both parties to overcome the COM
bined opposition of elements in each

there are many officers and men in
France today who feel just that way.

Woman's War Work Factor.

The suffrage leaders are confident OF
more votes than they hitherto have
had because of a growing recognition
of the part that women have been
playing in the war. Just who the SEN
ators are who have decided to vote for
suffrage some of them, to be sure,
opponents of the measure heretofore.
the Senate leaders promise the re-
Quired two-thirdS and more.
1t is an interesting commentary on
the justice of the women'S plea that
both political parties are, so to speak,
breaking their necks to ge the fed
eral amendment through the Senate.
Neither political party will deserve
any more credit than the other for
the success of the amendment. Nor
will it be the triumph of any par
ticular Individual. though no doubt
President Wilson in the last year has
given the movement an impetus that
carried it to victory much sooner
than it might otherwise have come.
But the success of suffrage has been
inevitabl in the last few years. as
it won in the populous states. es-
pecially New York. And, while the
party leaders. republicans and demo-
Gratis alike, are preparing to go for
ward in the campaigns of the future
and claim that they, respectively. de-
serve credit for the victory, the fact
is that the women, by playing one
party against the other. brought the
politicians to a recognition of the
fact that suffrage was a sure thing
for the future. And if women are
leaders have thought it wise thing
to incur no prejudices today with
what might be a considerable part Of
their clectorateS tomorrow.

Must Be Ratified by States.

The federal amendment when pass
ed by the Senate goes to the several
states for ratification by their legis-
1atureS. The women are sure of the
three-fourths. Indeed. the following
state legislatures have even by reSo-
luton called on the Congress to
adopt the amendment: New York,
Arizona, Colorado. Idaho, Kansas,
Montana. North Dakota, Oregon,
Rhode Island. Texas. Utah and Wash
ington. and, of course, many others
havo by canvasses shown themselves
ready to ratify the amendment
When finally adopted by three
fourthS of the states, 10 woman of any
state would be cnfranchised, of course,
under any different rating than that
already existing for the men of the
state. In other words. if a state has
property or educational qualifications
ms some of the southern states do, the
newly enfranchised women must meet
the same qualifications before they
can vote. But the amendment would
put every woman in every state in the
United States on a voting equality
with the men of that state. In twelve
states women already vote and no
Gala nifty has occurred On the con-
trary the senators and representatives
from those states testify to the many
advantages that have ensued from
the adding of woman's intelligence to
the sum total of Intelligence in the

to move Congress with the plea of
equal rights, but the plea never made

Not at all.

The Kaiser has planned just such map of
the United States. He has frequently boasted
that the United States would pay the expenses
OF the European War. He believes himself the
destined successor to Caesar and Napoleon.
His mania is for the earth with gold fence
around it,, and the inscription ''German
Empre' ON the entrance gate.
The Kaiser dream must not
come true. An American
