that the pleasure in the water

that the city has been exceed

any serious tires of late, and it
may be that on account of this

One of the first speeches made by
Mr. Wilson after his nomination last
summer was at a rural gathering in
New Jersey. “ Here we are at a
farmers’ picnic,” he said, “and on
this day I suppose we might say
that the farmers occupy the center
of the stage in our politics. I have
seen the interests of a great many
classes specially tegarded in legis
lation, but I must frankly say that I
seldom see the interests of the
farmer regarded in legislation.
As governor of New Jersey, the
state of monumental favors to
inflated corporations, the farmer
may seem a small figure in busi
ness
But there are forty-seven
other states, chiefly much larger in
area. They kn6w more than Mr.

Gallantry, or what would be call
ed chivalry in the South, has for
many years past animated the
average Kansan in his voting
A
peculiar condition has long existed
in that state regarding the eligibili
ties of women as office holders
Perhaps among al) of the peculiar
ities of Kansas nothing luia been
more distinguishing then laws
under which women can hold state
offices, from the highest to the
<vwest, without the privilege of
voting
The Kansan has found
nothing in the theory that only vot
ers should be eligible to office. He
has treated this as contemptuously
as other old and time-worn ideas
the world has been accepting with
out question
The Kansan has al-
ways been without reverence. He
has been an iconoclast from the
start. Now he has conferred un.
limited state suffrage upon women,
not. however, because he has die-
covered that office holders should
be voters
The world will regard
the new step as a natural evolution
and such, no doubt, it ie.
But the
Kanaan must have had some
apecial and particular reasons of
his own. and in searching for these
we naturally fall upon the one that
the male politicians there may have
been growing afraid of the women
aa competitors in office seeking.
The records show that female office
hoklera have increased steadily in
Kansas since women were made
eligible.
