has now been, extended until it is as
Pull as that enjoyed by'rnen,'
it is a question whether or not
British woolen would leave been given
the franchise had' the."warnot inter-
vened; and it is " equally uncertain
;whether theywouldhsve been given
the :franchise after the war had they
not made such a point of it before.
We in this young country, where we
have been very well satisfied to al-
lelw the men to do the voting 'anil
make the laws in parliament, (mak-
ing not such:,a bad 'noes -elf it on the
whole), were a bit given, at least the
mostconservative of us, to' criticising
the lenghts. gone to by the English
wonlen to get their case before the
public. But we may have been some-
what harsh in our 'judgments at
times. Personally,. I think it very
doubtful that English women ,would•
have been granted even a limited
franchise after the war if they had
not 'shown most conclusively during
their stormy campaign that they
were most terribly in earnest and
then, 'giving up any idea of hinder-
ing, givgn
inder-ing,-given themselves so etithusiastie-
ally to helping win the) war.
But now that women - have the
franchise' in England, with a 'major-
ity of over two n}ililons over he
maid vote, there is some anxiety as
to hew they will use it. There will be
an election in a few months, •so we
shall nob have to 'wait very long to
see, lint I wouldn't be of}'aid to Say
that they will divide up inter; the dif,-
:ferent panties, just a.e the men do.
They willnot all vote one way, airy
more than all the yqung
who have become, of age Pince, the
last election will` vote one way. .Elec-
tions are mighty uncertain, even
when women are not swaying them,
and no matter flow the British glee-
tlo}n goes this summer it may not be
an accurate guide as to :what''tbe wo-
men will de in fhture.
Some men seem to feel aggrieved
that women, here and in England,
have not brought about mord reforms
since being given the franchise. But
Rome wasn't built in a day,. Women
have had much to learn; they. have
been feeling their way and in another
twenty-five years many changes may
have taken place. It is a rather sor-
ry" conunentary on the character of
those men who expeeted the advent
of women suffrage to usher in the
millennium, that they delayed that
event as long an they could.
I was never a very eager advocate
of women suffrage. I knew it would
come in time, and felt that probably
it night come sochrer than we were
all prepared for it. There is no
privilege which does nob bring its
attendant responsibility. The right to
choose who shall make the Iaws of
the sand is a• responsibility which
many women feel ,to be a great one
and it is encouraging tat see how
seriously the great majority' are tak-
ing that tesIionsibility, notwithstand-
ing the complaints to the contrary.
That women should have an equal
right to say who shall make the laws

A DELIGHTFUL DRE-h1%I_
dreamed a dream the other night
That my life was all new,
.And all my Worries,hed passed away
I had nothing left to rue.
Iffy life, it seemed completely changed.
And living was sublime,
The world appeared a blissful piece
Day or night, at anytime.
I thought that I was young again
And I was going, to seh'aioh,
Apparently % lied no enemies
As I followed the Golden Rule.
I seemed a Happy medium
With me all things were right,
Though the weather was dark and
dismal
Or otherwise, fair and bright.
I thought that I was wealthy
And I had much money in store,
I felt that I.. was charitable
As I was no longer poor.
I fancied I book a varied trip
To see the world around,
I travelled by steamboat and aero-
plane,
And by motor ear, safe and sound.
My heart was filled with gladness
Wherever I chanced to go,
Whether it was. in summer lands
Or in regions of frost and snow.
The world, it was quite peaceable
Without a sign df war,
I fancied the nations were wondering
What they'd all been bighting for.
All people appeared law abiding
So there was no need of bail,
And ss there were no eriminals
I didn't see a jail.
I thought there was no sickness
No more aches or any pain,
I seemed to forget all my past life
I was surely living again.
I thought all pelople were sociable
Aind greeted each other as friends,
There "was no gossip or slander
No one to make amends.
l%ly spirit drifted Heaven -ward
While playing a golden harp,
And being a former musician
I liked Music soft, not sharp.
When suddenly, I awakened
From my inspiring dream,
For the morning light stole upon me
While the San began to beam;
But althkdigh my dream had vanished
Acrd I wished that it were true,
It made me Iong for the Golden Age
When humanity will live anew,
When all .will have fellow -sympathy
And likewise reasonable be,
When all our cares will pass away
Abd.all our troubles flee.
When all women will be sisterly
And let all hate. go by, .
When -all inen• are brotherly
And wiil see eye -to -eye.

Advertisements Are Store Windows
A penny saved is not always a
penny earned, Sometimes it is two
pennies lost, The merchant who
-spends nothing on advertising is
practising false economy; his losses
in sales far exceed the pennies saved.
The money spent for plate glass
windows is not looked on as lost; non
is the money spent on better interior
lighting.
Anything that increases favor, that
adds to sales, that•multipiie$ custom-
ene is very properly- regarded as a
good investment.
Advertising is a good investment --
just as plate glass windows are. Ad-
vertising is the plate glass window
the merchant can send into every
home. Advertising sells more goods
to more persons than shdp-windows
do.
A 'WORD TO THE PUBLIC
Do you resent having a mecohaut -
address his message toyou in the
form of an advertisement in our
columns? On thg•'coiitxiavy is , not:.,.
your impulse to respond to., hie
