BLOCKING THE WILL
 OF THE PEOPLE

The ratification of the suffrage amendment to the federal oonstitu- ton by Rhode Island and Kentucky swells to "A the number of states whose legislatures have declared themselves for the national enfran- chisement of woman.
 The early action by these twenty four states emphasizes the force of public sentiment which found it's initial expression in the resolution to submit the amendment to the states, which was passed by a vote of BOA to 89 in the house and of 56 to 25 in the Senate.
 It now requires the "yea" votes of only twelve more states to make up the three-fourths alignment of com monwealths that will put the Nine teenth amendemnt into the constitu- ton Six CT seven legislatures are to register their ratification of the amendment in the near future.
 But for the recalitrant attitude of three Or four states like Connecticut where Gov. Marcus H. Holcornb nas not seen fit to call a special session of the btenniaHy-meet legislature, ratification of the amendment would be assured in time to give the women of the country full participation. not GIlIy III tl6 SISCllon 1LSelf put also in the party councils preceding the e.e ction.

 Equal suffrage by constitution l amendment has long since passed the stage in which the strength of public sentiment in it's favor could be oues- l tioned or mintmized. The enfran. 1 chisement of American womanhoo6 | is a certainty of the immediate flu l ture. The opponents of suffrage 1T

 tactics of delay.
 It Is high time these opponents
 hopelessly out of touch with tn,

Manager George Gibson of the Pf- rates has signed William Haeffner, a Philadelphia boy. Haeffner is a catcher and during the last six years he played seni-pro ball in and near the Quaker City.
