And the day has come when suffragist opinions are taken seriouslv Jn Washington because the suffrage amendment will go through the Sennti next week and not less than 14,000,0(10 women will ote at the next presidential election. This prospect and the prospect of ex tensive militarj training in the schools of the country sere together to trouble the minds of men who are charged with the care nnd cultivation of political is sues.
