O" ■ WOMAN SUFFRAGE (By Mrs. J. S. Peterson) Do you know—* The total number of women over 21 in the union is 27,238,187. Now more than one-fourth live in states , where women have full suffrage and 40 per cent in states where thdy may ( vote for president of the United States. There were 34 American senators who defeated the suffrage amend- 1 n ent. It is to be regretted that eigli- 1 ■ teen of those senators represent 1 southern commonwealths, where the men boast their chivalry, where they’; say that women occupy a proud place < ■ on a pedestal and yet hasn't suliicienti | intelligence to cast the ballot. In the November election the women succeeded in defeating two senators who apposed their amendment, and still need one more senator to carry their amendment, the women i are working hard with a few senators ( who claim they are in favor of equal i suffrage, but feel it should be left; with the state. If the federal amendment has not: i passed the United States senate when I the Indiana legisature convenes we - must try to put a resolution through 1 the legislature, which convens in January, the petitions which hundreds of 1 Adams county progressive citizens signed will be on exhibition for sev- ( eral days in the state house, labelled and shown by counties. The Fort Worth. Texas. Record, says: ”Tho obstructionist senator who placed themselves athwart the path of progress are men of limited ' vision. They have yet to gasp the 1 full meaning of justice and freedom. > They want liberty for themselves aul 1 for few of their friends, but not for ’ afi. Some will see more clearly when 1 the suffrage amendment again comes ■ before them, the rest will pass into > that kindly oblivion that hides those who were born to late. The following is from the Indian?noils Star: 1 "Washington. Dec. B—lmmediate I passage of the woman suffrage amend . men! in recognition of the services t rendered by the women of the country during tho war was urged upon the 3 senate in a resolution adopted at a : meeting here today called by the Na- ; tional Woman Suffrage Association. . The efforts of American women in support of the country’s fighting forces were described by a number of 3 speakers, including Dr. Anna Howard 3 Shaw. Mrs. William Gibbs McAdoo, c Mrs. Josephus Daniels and Miss J.i.re c Delano, director of the American Red c Cross. “Dr. Shaw spoke of the pledge of C loyalty and service to the government c given by the National Woman Sufe frage Association when this countiy entered (he war. adding that it has “faithfully kept that pledge, helping in the world struggle for tho same, fundamental principles which has underlaid its half century of endeavor." ■“Now that the war is won.” Dr. Shaw continued, "there lies before us . a. vaster work than ever before, and tho I'o-opeation and service of women is necessary to its accomplishment. •’Dr. Shaw said tho history of American women during the war ‘is Lie last word, the direct and conclusive proof of their fitness for self government.’ “Mrs. Daniels asked if American women, alter having helped so vitally to save the world for democracy, should not now bo given a greater opportunity through the ballot to make it a safe place in which to rear the coming generations of boys and girls. "Miss Delane spoke of the valient work of American nurses at the front, who, site said, had ‘established a new tradition for bravery in action, many of them having earned the highest honors which the world lias to oiler.' “Other speakers represented women I who have worked in various iudiu- ’ tries during the war, each voicing an appeal for their enfranchisement on the ground < f their proved devotion to the ideal:', of America and their | self-sacrificing labors.
