WOMAN SUFFRAGE VICTORY
The vote on woman suffrage in the state of New York;
where the measure prevailed by a majority of 100,000 is;
more than surprising; it is almost astounding. At the'
^lection two years ago the proposal was defeated by an ad
verse vote of 732,770 against a . vmrMe vote of 544,157.;
Thus an adverse ma jority of 18t>,oi3 has, within two years
been overturned, and a favorable majority, more than
half as large, registered.
Woman suffrage now has, for the first time, a strong
foothold on the Atlantic Coast. New York will exert a
verv strong influence on toe states of New Jersey and Con
neeticut, pi** as she has done in all national 'political af
fairs. The movement is hound to extend westerly from
the Empire state.
It is reasonable to predict that New York’s vote will
make a profound impiession on congress. The prospect
of congress submitting a woman suffrage amendment to
the federal constitution at the regular session are infin
itely brighter than it would have been if the most populous
state in the union had voted down the measure or if it had
carried bj only a narrow majority. The size of the ma-j
jority makes it a tremendous influence; the change of I
nearly 150,000 male votes from no to yes in two years will,;
we believe, make itself felt also in every state where worn-1
an suffrage is an issue in coming elections.
In this land, as in England, the war has been a most
potent force in changing the views of men toward the in
herent justice of womens appeal for thg ballot. Their
patriotism, their loyalty, their devotion, their unflagging
work, their sacrifice in the offering of their sons on the
altar of freedom have combined to establish a supreme
l ight which a majority of the American men recognize in
their hearts. It is only a matter of time when this right
will he enacted into national law.
While the line of talk handed out to the Reichstag yes
terday by Chancellor von Herding is new along some;
lines, it has the kaiseristic ring with the exception that j
familiar words “for Germany has God on its side.” For
mer Chancellor Michaelis in his first speech before the,
Reichstag was very egotistical regarding Germany’s cer- j
tain success, von Herding beseeches the people of Ger-1
many to do certain things and Michaelis inferred tha;
they would do the same things because the Kaiser com
manded. von Herding made no mention regarding peace
with countries at war but Michaelis evaded the entire
peace program which started the eruption on the part of
i he Socialists leading to his downfall. From what the
press dispatches give the readers of the Gateway, von
Hertling’s talk is the same old kind, only as before men
tioned, taking up newer issues without the real ones be
ing pressed to the front. It can be summed up in the
words that his talk is another Prussian camouflage.
Secretrv of War Baker has again asked the newspa
pers of the country to refrain from publishing the news
».f the movements of the troops toward the seacoast can
tonments or ports. This request is based on the princi
ple that published reports are more quickly available to
the enemy—-the German spies arc hampered if they must
hunt out news of troops movements for themselves and
are helped if the newspapers of the country publish any
troop movements, it is the patriotic duty, therefore of
all newspapers to do their duty and no mention of the de
jiarture or arrival of the troops should be made as they
must go forward with as much secrecy as possible.
Alaskan women who have had the suffrage since'
1912, seem inclined to make the most of it in connection
vith the exhobitant price of sugar. The women’s feelings j
about the matter was set forth by the president of the
Seward Women’s Club as follows: “Alaska women are.
aid to enjoy the suffrage. We don’t specially ‘enjoy it,’
uit we will if we ever get a chance at the sugar trust.”—
(ErieJPa. Dispatch.)
Soldiers in the trenches are reported as begging
or women’s fashion magazines. If not the woman, then .
ler picture in gay attire! Yet men wonder why women
fuss so much about their clothes.
Napoleon never directed a more brilliant military ex-,
ploit than that of the French polus in the Aisne caverns. ,
The Bavarians will have a lot to settle with the Prus
sians before final peace terms are arranged.

And now it is your privilege to begin saving for the
third issue of the Liberty Loan Bond.
