Womans’ Suffrage.
“The suffragists are a body of women who must be seriously
reckoned with. It is one of the progressive ideas which has taken
deep root and is bound to gain in the end. It does seem that women
in state affairs have been classed too long with children and idiots,
They have started to disburse men of this conception and nave made
great headway. In England they are militant suffragettes, veri-
table Amazons, to gain by force that which men are unwilling to
grant them. This seems an error which the better balanced and
more clear thinking among them should correct, but in America they
are persuing a different course, appealing to reason and justice for
the granting of their hopes and the realization of their desires.
They have made progress, they are now making progress and they
will continue to make progress and finally their ends will be accom-
plished. ,
