SIXTEEN STATES HAVE RATIFIED

Up TO the present time sixteen
States have ratified the Woman Suf-
frage Amendment to the Federal Con-
stitution, and two have called special
sessions, Utah for next Monday, and
Colorado for October 18th. OF the
legislatures to meet this coming win
ter, four are reasonably certain to act
favorably on the Amendment. This
leaves fourteen states in which special
sessions must be called if women are
to take part in the 1920 elections.
The legislatures OF seventeen are
polled and show a majority for suf-
frage. The governors of fourteen
have promised special sessions, but
so far have failed to set a date.
The sixteen States which have rat
ified are: Wisconsin, Michigan. Kan
sas, Ohio, New York, Illinois, Penn
sylvania, Massachusetts, Texas, Iowa,
Missouri, Arkansas Montana, Nebras-
ka, New Hampshire, Minnesota. In
four of these the vote was unanimous
Michigan, Kansas, New York and
Nebraska. The legislatures of thir-
teen were controlled by the Republi-
cans and three by the Democrats,
while five Democratic and six Republi-
can governors called special sessions.

COMMUNICATED

Mr.. Editor:
1t is just as true of nations as it is
of individuals, that whatsoever we
soweth that shall we also reap" So
| if we elect a few incompentents to
misrepresent us in the legislature, we
/ should not be surprised if they enact
such laws as that most unpopular
/ School Code. And any member who
I feigns sickness to shun a vote on that
law, and after the adjournment of
the legislature deposits in his wife's
name twice as much as his salary of
ten dollars day and mileage, together
with the ten dollars a day and mile
age for the day he was playing off sick,
there is something rotten in Den
mark" But why say unpopular School
Code? Because any bill, the details
of which are not understood and are
kept hidden and in the dark, and the
particulars of which are guarded with
the greatest care from the knowledge
of the public, and is rushed through
in the dying hours of the session, de-
serves the condemnation of the people.
Let anyone go through his law and
count up the number 0ff 0ssecs With
their salaries and he is almost struck
dumb with amazement. And it is nau-
seating to read the stuff cOndemning
the old school law. Do not those who
were born and educated in this State,
when they remove to another State
compare very favorably morally and
intellectually with the native resi-
dents of that State, Notwithstanding
they were educated in what has been ,
termed by some, dog kennel. The
passage of this law is another very
sorry reason why the Constitution of (
this State should be amended so that |
no law could be passed without a two
third vote, or a unanimous vote would \
be better. Well, some will say, then /
you will never get a law passed. Now
how much would we lose if no law
was passed for several sessions of the
legislature Are not the laws piling
up by the hundreds every two years.
Is it not true that the world is too
much governed, and when it is gov
erned by the few it is most damnably
governed? Let us not be too quick in
condemning even a unanimous vote
for the passage of all laws. Does not
our Jury trials require unanimity in a
verdict, and there has been so few
of justice that it has
stood for centuries. In all represen-
tative bodies there are some members
who are held to one side on a question
by principle, some by friendship, some
by persuasion, or politics, and should
all of these be upon one side of a
question you have majority or near
it, then the briber has but few to buy,
but if it should require . two-third
vote he has more to buy; if it required
the briber is out of busi-
ness, for you cannot buy all the peo-
pie. and the voice of the people is the
voice of God.

In bving memory Of my dear husband
Harry Walker, who departed this lif
September 80, 1915:
Peaceful be thy rest dear Harry:
1t is sweet TO breathe thy name.
In life l loved you dearly,
In death I'm just the same
Oh, how hard 1t was to part on earth
With him 1 loved so dear;
The heart no great trial knows,
No sorrow more severe.
What happy days we once enjoyed
How sweet their memory still;
But they have left an aching void
This world can never fill.
Your busy hands are folded
Your work on earth is done:
Thy gentle voice now is hushed,
Thy warm true heart is still
Though you're gone you're not forgotten
For your place can never be filled;
! will keep your memory sacred
Till my heart in death is stilled.
And yet again l hope to meet thee
When the day of life is fled.
And in heaven with JOY to greet thee,
Where no farewell tears are shed.
1tp Sadly missed by Wife.

In loving remembrance of our brother
Willard S. Marvel, who departed this Life
August p, 1913:
Gone from earth, yes gone forever;
Tear dimmed eyes shall grieve in vain
We shall hear his voice, no never.
Never more on earth again.
Day by day we saw him fade
And gently from us pass away:
Yet often in our hearts we prayed
That he on earth might longer stay.
Our home is sad, oh God. and dreary;
His voice We miss in every spot
We listen till our hearts are weary,
But all in vain, we hear it not.
He was thoughtful, loving and true,
So kind TO each and every one;
That now in heaven he awaits you
And there his joy has just begun.
With streaming eyes we long did pray
His life we asked but God denied.
The Lord refused TO let him stay;
In love he lived, in peace he died.

And many the tears we've shed,
Since that awful morning when

His life was so bright and sunny,
He filled our home with joy,
And today our hearts are bleeding
At the loss Of our precious boy.

And be thankful his short life was given
To US and may his going
Make us strive the harder for heaven.
