has achieved success who has lived
well, laughed often and loved much:
who has gained the respect of intelli

WHERE WOMEN VOTE.
Lands Which Regard the Matter No
Longer Experimental.
Women suffrage is today an estab
lished fart in tnan> lands. Australia
easily heads the list as the moat pro
gressive leader of all the countries In
this respect. There women may now
vole for all offices and in all elections
upon exactly the same terms as men
in local, state and national polities.
The only exception to this rule, writes
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, in Prog
ress, is in tiie one province of Victoria,
where women are not yet permitted
to vote for members of their state
parliament. Tasmania Is included in
the Australian federation, and its
women possess all the political rights
enjoyed by men. New Zealand is not,
a member of the Australian federa
tion: its women the endowed with all
the politics’ powers of men.
in British Lands.
In England women enjoy the priri
lege of municipal and county suffrage,
which is a great power. At first It
was given only to single women and
widows, but later it was extended to
all women who paid the same rates
as the men electors. The women of
Scotland and Ireland possess this
same privilege, while (he women on
the Isle of Man are endowed with ex
actly the same political rights as men.
In Iceland, a prosperous dependent
colony of Denmark, women have en
Joyed the privileges of municipal suf
frage for many years. In Norway and
Sweden women have had some suf
frage privileges for a very long time.
Norway is the leader of all European
countries In liberality concerning this
movement. In 1901 It exxtended uni
versal suffrage to men. which had be
fore restricted the suffrage, and at
the same time it extended removing
llio property qualifications mnuirlpal
suffrage lo all women who pay taxes
on a yearly income of $75 in the coun
try districts, nr sllO in the cities. A
married woman who owns property in
common with her husband, he paying
the taxes, is also entitled to municipal
suffrage, women have very generally
voted under this new law and in the
capital city of Christiana six women
have been elected members of the
common council. In several other
towns women have been elected to
the board of aldermen. In one dis
trict a woman was elected chief as
sessor and parliament has decided
that women may he members of jurlcH
and grand Juries. In Sweden women
possess the same suffrage rights, but
much higher property qualifications
than that of Norway limits the num
ber of voters.
European Condition*.
France and Italy have a court call
ed the "Tribunal of Commerce.” A
regularly educated and elected judge
presides over It. A sort of Jury com
poses the rest of the court, and this
jury Is equally composed of employers
and employes In avenues of commerce.
Before this court all questions con
cerning differences between employers
and employes are arbitrated. Both
men and women engaged in commerce
either as employers or employes are
equally privileged to vote for the mem
bers of tills court.
In mny of the provinces of Ger
many and Austria women of property
have minor suffrage privileges, being
permitted to appoint a proxy to cast
their votes. In some Instances they
have no particular control over their
proxy; in others he is compelled to
vote their exact, bidding
In Russia the only political privi
lege enjoyed by men is in minor local
municipal government. Property Is
demanded as a qualification, and wom
en property holders arc permitted
equality with men to enjoy these po
litical rights. Since the women of
Russia have been permitted to control
their own property for some 200 years
there are many property holding wom
en even among the peasantry.
In Canada school and municipal
suffrage has been given to the women
of all 'he provinces. Ontario granted
school suffrage In 1750 and municipal
suffrage in 1881. New Brunswick
granted municipal suffrage In 1880.
Nova Scotia and Manitoba gave muni-'
cipai suffrage in 1887. In British Co

THE AUGUSTA HERALD
CHRISTIAN SCIENTISTS
BAR CHRISTMAS GIFTS
Ml'
NEW YORK, Jan. I.—Mrs. Mary
Baker Eddy, head of the Christian
Science church, has stirred up her
million or more followers by putting
the ban on the giving of Christmas
gifts and discouraging personal con
gratulation on the occasion of the
Ynletide festival.
This is her declaration on the sub
ject. as published in the official or
gan of the Christian Science church:
"Do Christian Scientists love God
so much as they do mankind? Aye,
that's the question; let us examine
it for ourselves. Thinking of person
Implies that one is not. thinking of

blest by absorbing one's time writing
or reading congratulations?
I cannot watch and pray reading
telegrams; they only could the clear

personal worship which Christian
Science annuls. Did the dear students
know how much I love them and need

love in labor for them they would

extended the same privilege.
In This Country.
In the United States women enjoy
some form of suffrage in twenty-six
slates. Women mav vote upon equal
terms with men In Wyoming. Colorn
do, Ftah and Idaho, being eligible to
all offices. They may sit in the legls
lature: are eligible lo seals in con
gress, and may vote for the national
president. In Kansas women have
school, municipal and bond suffrage.
The privilege of tax paying women to
vote upon the expenditure of tax
money has been granted in Louis
iana. Montana, lowa and New York
in towns and vi'luges. School stif
frage for women exists in Arlionn.
Connecticut Delaware, Illinois, Ken

Hampshire, New' Jersey, New York,
North Dakota. Ohio. Oregon. South

trustees and permits women to vote
for Hiieh offices.
It will be seen from this imposing
list of suffrage privileges that woman
suffrage is no longer an experiment,
but a tested and established fact.
