On the contrary, its advocates do contend that it will benefit all three and that it has done so; but they hold that, whether it does or not, it is just as much a woman's right as aman's in a government founded on indi- yidual representation. “Woman suffrage was decisively defeated in Missouri last November,"’ says a bulletin of the antis. Yes, so decisively that in January eleven of the fourteen congressmen voted for a national amendment, and in March the suffrage bill passed the lower house of the Legislature by 88 to 40 votes. “Women of California look and act ex- actly the same as before they got the suf- frage,"” says the State superintendent of instruction. Well, they do say that just before election the women now look so beautiful to a candidate that he can hardly take his eyes off them.
