And the way they are. taking hold must be proving
gratifying to those men and women who for years
fought for equal suffrage Even women who were
regarded as opposed toisufrage have determined to
take full advantage Of the franchise that it has
been granted to them and the prospect is that the FIRST
poll Of women in t5is county at least will be quite
Il not at all necessary to say that this is precisely
as it should be- Every woman should take the new
responsibility quite seriously and vote at every election
The better endowed mentality the more influential her
position IN the community the greater is the duty Of
the new voter 10 go to the polls Unless they do this
the ignorant and unprosressive woman voter will secure
much more weight in the affairs Of the community than
she entitled o. and in the end the political machines
will begin to manipulate the woman vote by precisely
the same methods they employ in manipulating the vote
OF the men.

In accordance with the provisions of the act pro-
vidiag for the reconstruction Of the army twelve
officers of the National Guard and the army reserve
corps have been assigned to duty with the general
STAFF. This action marks distinct advance in the
treatment of defense problems. In the past guard
matters were passed upon by army officers attached
to the general staff and the War department with
out giving much attention to the guard side OF
them. The result was that there was friction be-
tween the two branches of the national defenses.
If the guardsmen who have been attached to the
general staff are given chance they ought to be
able to improve upon that whole lot.
