GETTING ACQUAINTED WITH AMERICA VOTE ON EQUAL SUFFRAGE TODAY The result of the elections in New York, Massa chusetts and Pennsylvania held today are being watched with the kenest interest by all those who favor equal suffrage. If all the states should adopt it, it will mean the enfranchising of six million women, by today's vote. Those in touch with the situation however are of the opinion that equal suffrage will fail in all of them, and that this result is certain in Pennsylvania. It is unfortunate for the advocates of suffrage that the elections happen just at this time when the "I didn't raise my boy to be a soldier" sentiment is being so ex tensively discussed. No doubt there are many men who under average conditions would vote for suffrage, that will not vote for it now. They believe, and probably are right in that belief, that the majority of women are against militarism in any form, and that to enfranchise them now would make the effort now being made for "preparedness" that much harder to accomplish. That this will cause many to vote against it is undoubtedly The Euronean war has done one thine for the United true, and it is possible, indeed probable this element may States that was surely needed, and whose effects will be! Prevent the adoption of this constitutional amendment, far reaching, and that is by cutting off tourists from visiting the scenic beauties, now somewhat marred, of Europe, it has turned their attention to their own coun try and induced many of them to get acquainted there with. The department of the interior has just rftade public some statistics about the visitors to our national parks, which show the number this year is more than double that of those visiting the same parks last year. This year 51,820 visited Yellowstone Park, and there and then learned that the United States contained the greatest wonder and beauty spot, unequaled anywhere in Europe, or for that matte?, the world. The number last year was 20,250. Yosemite, which for majestic grandeur, stands with out a peer, and which following the opening of the first Pacific railroad was visited by hundreds of Europeans,! which was literally raved about in the magazines and art journals of the old world, somehow did not appeal to Americans, who crossed the Atlantic to see. the Alps, largely because they had to go abroad to see them neglecting the far grander sceneiy of their own land, was visited last year by 15,1:?1 and this year by 31,642. Mount Ranier lifting its majestic snow-crowned, sun kissed summit nearly three miles into the skies, was viewed in 1914 by 15,0:18 and in 1915 by :14,314, and so the story goes. , The Panama Exposition had much to do with this too; perhaps was as great a factor as the war itself, for it sent many a tourist through the northwest, who otherwise would not have made the trip. While there are no statis tics possible as to those who have viewed the mighty chasm where the resistless Columbia, fifth river in the world, has cut the great mountain chain in two and poured its majestic azure flood through to the Pacific, the num ber is known to be large and the stream of humanity ever increasing, The results should be pretty well known tomorrow and the Capital Journal hopes to tell its readers, that all three of these big Eastern States have followed the pace set by our own good old Oregon. One of the Vanderbilts having sworn allegiance to England, can now have the privilege of turning over about one-third of his income to the government of his adoption, in the shape of income tax. It is hoped he may prove a real patriot, and remember that while naturally he should have a kindly feeling for the country that permitted his grand dad, the old financial pirate, to accumulate several millions and lay the foundation for the present Vander bilt fortune, that he owes full allegiance to the land of his adoption. There is considerable complaint made as to the little tent colony on the old mill site in North Salem. The com paint is not against those occupying the tents, but as to conditions which are said to be decidedly unsanitary. It may be possible that conditions are responsible for the tent colony. As to that we do not know,, but it is sug gested that the city should take some steps toward im proving sanitary conditions there, even should it require the renting of a few houses. A Galley o Fun!

Editor Capital Journal: I wish to call attention to one phase of the bridge problem that is being overlooked and that is relating to the pedestrian travel that passes over it. Those in authority are allowing ped estrians with lllish enrt.n. wheel. 1 hi rrnivu and other hnnd eoiiveyaiices, to pss ov er it; yet a needless obstruction to such traffic is erected at each end of the bridge. Why such absurd proceedure and methods,' If the bri lge is dangerous for such traffic, it should be closed to such travel, and if it is not, provision should be made for the unobstructed passage offcich traffic. It. is certainly inconvenient enough to freight across the brdige with a push cart, but to be required to twice unload, lift the cart and load over need less obstructions, ami then reload, is certainly very inconsiderate treatment toward those tiwt find it necessary to so use the bridge.
