The department was discontinued at a time when the Suffrage movement had gained a mo- mentum which presaged its success. In its habitual good nature Jupce in this number hopes to help Suffrage to final triumph. A Suffrage amendment has been incorporated in the Constitution of the United States, conditioned upon ratification by the individual States. This amendment has already been ratified by Wis- consin, Michigan, Kansas, Ohio, New York, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Texas, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, Montana and Nebraska. The matter is still pending in various Legislatures, a poll of which, as far as an inquiry can go, promises ratification. But there are several States in which no opportunity to pass upon the question may be offered without reasonably im- mediate special sessions. In these States women are working to get special ses- sions and an affirmetive vote before the next Presidential election. If they are successful, the women of these States may vote at that general election, and if the decision is deferred women will have to wait upon that great privilege | still for four years. Why should the desired ratification by the States that have not yet voted upon it be deferred? It is inevitable that the women will finally win, What they have \ \ already done is an assurance of the x eventual result. Politicians might well &*+/if) indorse and assist conclusive action now, aK and thus secure for themselves added time in which to study the operation of a new force in politics of which they must sooner or later take cognizance and with which they must reckon. Woman has come into politics to stay, and the fact should be faced in all its significance.
