The Suffrage amendment is now before - the

called special sessions and others will. No ex
cuso for delay. EVERY "pTATE FAVORABLE
TO SUFFRAGE SHOULD ACT AT ONCE so

where it ig necessary.
Woman's conscience is needed in politics as
never before; it is needed here and in other
nations which will be influenced by our example.
Woman's conscience is needed to' make complete
and permanent the nation's victory over the
saloon; it is needed to deal successfully with
tho social evil tho next great moral issue;
and it is needed to abolish war.
Woman is coming into her own, and her en

W righteous cause. Welcome, woman

Labor and Beer
The Federation of Labor has doclared against
war prohibition and for 2 A per cent beer.
Whether the action of tho federation was in
fluenced by tho branches pecuniarily interested
in making beer, or represented tho individual
opinion of the members, it will bo weighed x.'.'.lx
other evidence and have influence according to
tho number for which tho federation speaks,
but there is no reason to believe that it will
cause any return to tho saloon. Tho federation
represents but a part of labor, and labor repre
sents but a part of the population. In this coun
try tho PEOPL": rule laws are made and en
forced, not by a class element, but by a majority
of all the people.
The laboring men vote as individuals, not as
an organization. If, on tho liquor quastlon,
they voted for the saloon, they have boon out
voted and have no more reason for protest than
the farmers have when they are outvoted. Be
ing in a minority on this subject, the laboring
men will acquiesce In tho will of tho majority
as others do when In the minority.
W. J. BRYAN.
War prohibition will not bo repealed. If tho
saloons ao reopened after July 1st tho Presi
dent will have to take the responsibility. Let us
hope that ho will not do so.
