VOTES FOR WOMEN IS URGED
President Wilson has indorsed women suffrage as an
immediate issue in every State where women are not now,
permitted to vote. The indorsement came a week or so
ago when the President addressed, at Washington, one
hundred leaders of the New ^ ork State Woman Suffrage
party and as that State is to hold an election tomorrow,
November sixth, upon the issue, his remarks will undoubV
edly carry much weight.
The President in his address said that the “wholej
world now is witnessing a struggle which goes deeper and
touches more of the foundations of the organized life of
men than any struggle that has ever taken place before,
and no settlement of the questions that lie on the surface
can satisfy a situation which requires that the questions
which lie underneath and at the foundation should also
settled and settled right. 1 am free to say that I think
the question of woman suffrage is one of those questions
which lie at the foundation.

The world has witnessed a slow political reconstruc
tion, and men have generally been obliged to be satisfied,
with the slowness of the process. In a sense it is whole
some that it should be slow, because then it is solid and
sure, but I believe that this war is going so to quicken the
convictions and the consciences of mankind with regard to
political questions that the speed of reconstruction will
be greatly increased. And I believe that just because we
are quickened by the questions of this war we ought to lie
quickened to give this question of woman suffrage our
immediate consideration.
“I want to speak for myself and say that it seems to;
me this is the time for the States of this Union to take this;
action. I perhaps may be touched a little too much by the
traditions of our politics—traditions which lay such ques
tions almost entirely upon the States, but I want to see
communities declare themselves quickened at this time and
show the consequence of the quickening.
vl think the whole country has appreciated the way
in which the women have arisen to this great occasion.
They not only have done what they have been asked to
do and done it with ardor and efficiency, but they have
shown a power to organize for doing things of their own
initiative, which is quite a different thing and a very much
more difficult thing, and I think the whole country has
admired the spirit and the capacity and the vision of the
women of the United States.
"It is almost absurd to say that the country depends
on the women for a large part of the inspiration of its
life. That is too obvious to say;' but it is now depending

upon the woman also for suggestions of service which
have been rendered in abundance and with the distinction
of originality. I therefore am very glad to add my voice
to those which are urging the people of the great State of
New York to set a great example by voting for woman suf
frage. It would be a pleasure if I might utter that ad
vice in their presence. Inasmuch as I am bound too close
to my duties here to make that possible, 1 am glad to have
the privilege to ask you to convey that message to them.

The promotion of ( apt. Mehaffey of the Alaska Board
of Road Commissioners to be a Major will cause genuine
pleasure to the many friends of that popular and efficient
army officer who has been so intimately connected with
road building in Alaska. We have had no official in Alaska
who has accumulated more friends in the same length of
time, and none who has given better service to the Terri
tory. It is a matter of regret that the exegencies of w7ar
will take him away from Alaska.—(Juneau Empire.)
Mexico is again normal, writes one of those observant
travelers just from that country. It strikes us that the
word “normal” is sadly in need of a footnote.
