Wowan Suffrage, so say its organized opponents, is an ebb tide, not a flood tide. It is going, not coming. Woman Suffrage, so says the data lady of the suffrage propaganda, is “Going.” We admit it. It is “Going Some.” American men began marking slips of paper at the polls, on whether or no women should have the right to vote, way back in ansas in 1867 and at that time but 0,070 jotted down the word “yes.” Since that humble beginning not far from three million men have followed the praiseworthy example set by pioneer Kansas and if that is not “Going Some,” what is? It is true that the men of Oregon voted seven different times before they could bring themselves to let their women vote. They had got in the habit of voting on a woman suffrage amendment and evidently hated to give it up. But at the seventh bout they yielded and woman suffrage in Oregon is neither Coming nor Going. It has Come. It is true that out of the twenty-e States that have faced squarely the qu of woman suffrage but thirteen have hoisted the equal suffrage flag. But a woman suf- frage victory is not like any other. It is not here to-day and gone to-morrow. It is like planting a seed that will do its own cultivat- ing. It is like a yeast cake that bubbles up and runs over onto neighboring territory. “Return if not satisfactory,” can safely be put on all suffrage referendum proposi- tions for practically never is an inch of ground lost that is once gained for a woman including democracy. The anti-suffragists delight to cite Michi- nas final proof that woman suffrage is dis- appearing from the political horizon. In November in 1012, it is believed by people who ought to know and has been so stated on the floor of Congress, that woman suf- frage was carried but “counted out” in Michigan. The following April it was lost by 16,000, and the aflirmative vote actu- ally decreased. Where were those men in April who voted s" in November? According to the Antis they had seen the folly of their wa: and become converts to a male autocracy. But the Suffs tell another story. The Suffs ery, “Converted! Don’t you beli it! Suffrage was carried by the farmers in No- vember. But in April the farmers weren't fussing about whether it was wise or not to give women the vote. They had their eyes on the weather bulletins and their minds on the question of whether or no they could get in their crops.” And so the Antis and the Suffs argue back and forth and what is a poor innocent, ignor- ander to believe? And the proper Do just what the farmers did in Michigan. Eye the weather, the political weather, and when it is seen that every Presidential candidate starts forth to ¢ quer equipped with a belief in woman ¢ frage just as surely as he puts a handkerc: in his pocket; when it is seen that no p ical platform is trusted out alone at en without some sort of a woman-suffrage plas to strengthen and protect it—why, thee may be known by all men that sufirag « neither Coming nor Going— It is at yh door.
