future. It means that the de-
mand is coming up from the peo-
ple and could the present Legis-
lature but know the strength
and forcefulneos of this wide-
spread sentiment much of the
opposition that now exists in the
law-making body to the desired
legislation would be dissipated.
If anyone haa any doubts as
to the wonderful growth of
Equal Suffrage throughout the
country, he has only to keep
abreast of the times to have hie
erroneous ideas in that respect
dissipated Since the present
session of the Texas Legislature
convened, the Legislature of
South Dakota passed finally a
bill, and it has become a law,
giving the women right to vote
in presidential primaries. Since
that state took a advlnce step
toward getting into tho equal
suffrage column, Indiana and
Maine have extended the fran-
chise to women, both doing this
on the same day. On the day
previous the cause won a victory
in Ohio. In the great state of
New York tho legislature has
just passed finally a bill extend-
ing the franchise to women and
it is waiting the signature of the
governor. It is inconceivable
that the people of these states
would give their support to the
great cause unless it had the
merits that its supporters claim
for it. As a matter of fact, tho
Democracy of the nation is un-
alterably committed to Equal
Suffrage. That Texas, tho ban-
ner Democratic state of tho
whf le galaxy of commonwealths,
should not grasp the trend of
affairs and accept the political
faith that was inducted in tho
platform of tho Notional conven-
tion in St. Louis ia to be deplor-
ed. That the next two years
will bring the masses and leaders
of the Democracy of ioxao to
the fullest sense of realisation
of the duty that they owo, not
only to the national party, but
to themarlvrs and tho women of
this stale, as s matter of right
and justice, and that thoy will
rally to the support of thio far-
reaching movement, is already
practically assured

GERMAN INTRIGUE IS
CAUSE OF FRICTION
Tokio, Saturday, March8. In
ita comment on tho plot to in-
volve Mexico and Japan in war
with tho United States, the Ja-
pan Times refers to the German
conspiracy "as proof of a diseas-
ed mentality/' but thinks It will
serve a good purpose, because it
will clarify in American min da
many doubts and suspicions of
Japan which, however unfound-
ed, it fays they were unable al-
together to free themselveo
from, owing to continual poison-
ing.
"Americans," says the Times,
"now see as a clear situation
that German intrigue is at tho
bottom of aH the pernicious ef
forto in America to nurse fric-
tion between the United State,-*
and Japan in the last three
years,"
What has followed the ex|H> -
ure of the conspiracy, the news-
paper adds, indicates that Ger-
many^ amfettlon to gain a foot-
ing on tho American continent
through Ifaotfeo will solidify tho
cohesion of tho western hemi.« -
phero against the dangers of
German, militarism.
