EQUAL SUFFRAGE:,
Arrangements have been made with
the Stat Association to publish rheir
communications on this subject Ed.
The Boston Transcript publishes an
article that will find hearty endorse
ment by Oregon Women. It says:
"That reform has won such a vic
tory In Philadelphia is due (as the new
leaders willingly concede) in large
measure to the influence of the good
women of the Quaker City The wom
en brought into the campaigh, it ap
pears, the most approved and perfect
ed plans. They were Instant and
prompt In method. ;
"The work of the women in both
the great cities of the Atlantic sea
board, this fall, for the purification of
municipal administration, is significant
and Impressive. It is regarded In
some quarters, and with manifest show
of reasonableness, as an Index a': the
distinct trend of the times, toward the
day when public-spirited and capable
women will be called, not only to sub
sidiary service, but to the fullest exer
cise of their abilities and leisure In
civic and national housekeeping." '
Women are daily demonstrating In
their clubs and social duties a high ap-
titude for method and organization
This training enables the up-to-date
women to participate in public affairs
with credit to herself and benefit to the
community. The public spirited wo
man needs but the opportunity to apply
her patriotism and wisdom to affairs
of state and nation. Oregon has many
women who could serve with zeal and
discretion making' this the greatest
state on the Pacific coast. But to
have 'a voice In promoting the public
good she must be a constituent and
armed with the ballot to enforce her
