the island and which is working to
favor of the bill as it is considered
too sweeping in it's terms. The league
fears that if the vote is given to ig-
rcrant and illiterate women through
out the island it will mean only more
votes to be controlled by the poll
ticians.
1t wants votes only for women who
can read and write, more for educa-

political purposes and the women eX-

Under the control of the WOmans'
League of Porto Rico the woman's suf
frage movement in the island has
made a considerable advance consid-
ering that it has only been in progress
only two years. For many years Porto
Rico has held the usual Latin-Ameri-
can idea of woman's place in life.
Bills providing for woman's suf
frage were introduced last year in the
Legislature but failed to pass, while
not very strong hopes are entertained
of the bill recently introduced, which

telegram sent out by Philadelphia
firm to various lumber firms in this

cut from so to 500 negro laborers, as
wanted, if man could be sent to
take charge of them en- route. This
would indicate that there were
more negroes in Philadelphia than
there was work for them to do, and
it would also indicate that the negro,
