There are several signs that the woman suffrage movement in this country is growing. The most sig nificant one, says the Washington Star, is the attention that churchmen are beginning to pay it. Bishop Doane, of Albany, of the Epis copal commnuion, is of this number, and Cardinal Gibbons is another. Both are opposed to the movement, and have expressed themselves in very emphatic terms. Will the movement, prevail? Its strength nu merically cannot, be stated. There has been no canvass, and hence there are no statistics worthy of consider ation. Until quite recently there was no businesslike national organization. But. that matter is being attended to now, and by women of energy and means. Money, of course, is an item. It is in all large movements. And money now is at the service of those advocating the opening of the ballot box to women. Campaign expenses are guaranteed, and the work will be begun in earnest.
