A Boston paper comment on the recent woman suffrage victories in Washington state by 'quoting from the 'Woman's Journal," and by adding an exclamation which leaves a question. The comment reads: In the Woman's Journal Is published a review of the chief personalities Involved In the recent woman surfrige victories In Washington state. One or these women is described a "the best known and most popular business woman member In Spo kane, the only woman member of the Spo kane Chamber of Commerce. Ieft a widow with a baby In her arms and only her own' labor to depend upon, she has ac quired a fortune by her own exertions." Of another It Is said: "Her personality Is one of singular sweetness." The second I "a young nd' very beautiful woman, with a personality full of charm; she is popu lar with men and women alike, and Is bound to become a public worker of great success." A third "Is a type of the high elnss English woman; conservative, a de voted church woman, yet with all that political sagacity which seems an Instinct with the high class Englishwoman." And of the author of these tributes another woman says: "Her brilliant speeches and exquisite womanliness have formed a com bination of telling power." Such women If correctly described would be welcome to Massachusetts, no matter what subject they discussed. -Take Care. Remember that when your kidney are affected, your life la In danger. M.
