Position Is Felt Keenly. It has been remarked that in other ways an anti-imperialistic sentiment is rapidly developing among the women of the province not only on account of this action of King George, but be cause of what are considered the de grading and coercive measures which have been meted out to British women by a Liberal government during the last several years. That this feeling is stronger among WeBtern women than those of Eastern Canada Is no doubt due to the fact that the women of the states Immedi ately across the boundary line to the Bouth. as well as thone of Alaska, on the north, enjoy the privileges of citizenship. British Columbia women feel keenly their position as the only section of the Pacifio Coast from Mexico to the North Pole without enfranchlBement Their humiliation has been aggravated from time to tlm. by suffragist speak ers from Seattle, Portland, San Fran cisco and other southern cities The women have been Incensed also at the fate of the last bill In this prov ince for equal suffrage presented at the . recent Legislature which was thrown out on a straight party vote without any discussion whatever.
