The American Furniture Co. For thirty-nine years the woman suf. fraglsts have been going before our na tional lawmakers and asking that wom en be given a voice In making laws by which they must abide, and a hand In the election of officials whom they are obliged to support with their tax money. According to the political status of women In Georgia today It would aeom that very little prngreai has been made In these thirty-nine years. However, when we look beyond the borders of Georgia we must admit that our state Is one of the few that has made little progress In this movement. In four Western states we And wom en invested with full political rights, with which In one state, Wyoming, they have been Invested since 1889. So journers In this state will And that these women who have been voting for almost forty years have loat none of their womanliness, are os good wives, mothers and housekeepers as are to be found In our country. In these Western states the results of woman suffrage have proved to be; better legislation on all questions In volving the welfare of children, splendid system of public echools and last, but nut least, equal pay for equal work. In twenty-eight statea of the Union women enjoy some form of suffrage— tax-paying, school or municipal. Among these twenty-eight states are Kentucky, where women have school suffrage, and Louisiana, where women vote on all questions submitted to tax-payers. These Southern women hare disproved the assertion often mode that South ern women, If given the ballot, would not go to the polls and vote. Several years ago, In New Orleans, when, the question arose of levying an additional ta% for the purpose of Installing a new sewerage system In that city, the measure met with much opposition, but the women realising the menace to life and health that lay In the open sewers, went to the polls and voted solidly for the additional tax and car ried the day. Now. New Orleans points with pr to her Improved sanitary condition. Representative Davey, author of the woman suffrage bill In congress, Is - Louisiana man. ,, This'movement of woman suffrage la world-wide. In European countries we And women Aghtlng determinedly for the ballot, and they have won some form of suffrage In France, Scotland and Ireland. In England women vote In all elec tions except those for members llament. Finland, Iceland and wonderful countries of the South seas, New Zealand and Australia, have given women equal rights with men. Women have found that politics has Invaded the home and permeates our evsry-day life, and that no women hav ing the welfare and comfort of her home and family at heart ran afford to be Indifferent to state and city affairs. The Federation of Women’s Clubs has In several dtlea taken up civic work, working to beautify school grounds, parks, etc, lo have belter sanitary conditions In the homes, bust, ness houses and factories, to have cleaner streets and purer air. The State Federation has also gons on record as being In favor of women serving on school boards, and will urge this reform all over the state. Mra. Sarah Platt Decker, president of the General Federation or Women'a Clubs, Is a strang suffragist, havli cently made ringing'speeches In favor of the enfranchisement of women. Some Idea of the growth of suffrage sentiment may be had when we And that more than Si* organisations, not suffrage societies, have officially In dorsed woman suffrage. In 1*08 the American Federation of Labor adopted resolutions pledging themselves to support woman suffrage and In the same year the National Grange took similar action. The International Council of Women, representing twenty countries and over six million women have also gone on record as being tn favor of political equality for women. KATHARINE KOCH.
