The results of the election In a number . of States on the matter of votes for women are such ns to have given the suffragist force an eapecial cause for thanksgiving this year In the mutter in which they are. doing so vigorous a '?ri. The States in which women now have full suffrage number eleven, the additions this year being Montana and Nevada. Besides these women have the right to vote for certain offi cers in twenty-two! other (States, and In Illinois they may vote for all statutory officers, includ ing the-elertors for President. ,. The eleven States in which women , suffrage prevnlls. with the time of granting the franchise are: Wyoming . 1890 Colorado 1891 I'tah I8 Idaho 1896 .Washington 110 6. California 191 7. Arlxona 19 1 2 8 Kansas i 111 9. iregon 1912 10. Nevada 1914 11 Montana 1914 In 1913 the Legislature of the Territory of Aluska adopted full woman suffrage without opposition. The twenty-two States in which there is par tial suffrage allowed for women are: Connecti cut. Delaware, Florida. Iowa, .Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Hampshire. New Jersey, New Mexico. New York. North Dakota. Oklahoma. Ohio. South Dakota. Vermont and Wisconsin. Considering what haa been accomplished since 1890 when Wyoming voted for equal suf. frage the women have cause for thanksgiving and this Is set forth In the equal suffrage pub- nsrti ie n's Journal -'Which under the' caption of "The 1914 Thanksgiving" say: "The addition of Nevada and Montana to the number of suffrage States gives equal suffrage seven more electoral votes, enfranchises 99.881 women. Increases the amount of suffrage terri tory by 16t.M square miles and Increases the suffrage population by 457.918. "Kull equal' auff rage now prevails over 1,728,. 4 square mile of the Lhited States, or nearly one half 4 per cent of the total area. - "Women now have an eo,ual voice with men In casting II electora-votea. or more than one sixth of the total . number of the electoral col lege.

THE AKCCME-VT OF FACT. , TWam la mm mmmm VaMtlflA farta f Ae It will always remain true that facts ars stubborn things And there areTaow la "especial some of these stubborn facts to be faced by those whs opposed, tha President In his position for the re peal of the exemption clause In the matter of tolls for passage of vessels through -the Panama Canal. What these advocates of free tolls have to meet Is thus clearly act forth In the current number of Collier's la which, under the caption of "What They Didn't Oet" there occurs this: From August 1 to November 1. 114, the tolls collected from veaaela using the Panama Canal amounted to 1711,111. These were nearly all American ships. The money collected will be used In maintaining and operating the canal. thua lessening the amount appropriated out of taxea Th American people get the benefit and the subsidy howlers are deprived of the pleasure of pocketing that sum. Will Hearst and hie choir kindly name those whom they would pre fer to see getting that 1711,112? So there you are. Here we are with a canal which la doing Its principal bualneaa right now with Amerlcsjri vessels. If these vessel went through the canal without paying for their passage the American people would have to go down into their pockets and foot the bills. Aa It la the owners of vessels who obtain the large benefit In the saving of time by the use of the canal are paying for what they ' receive. And thla la lust. Thua it Is that the logic of facts, this logic in the shape of dollars and cents. Is fully Justi fyttig thr WlsdOtn of Ttvt tdrttr'Wtlsoh In catling' upon Congress to repeal the free tolls provision Congress did the wise thing when It acted on the advice of the President.

They failed to do so and now he is g.oing to give them all the executions poaaible on one day as a demonstra tion of the awfulness of the death sentence.

With the greater part of Europe shut off to traveler by the war, the opportunities for ex plorlng the less familiar countries of South America will doubtless appeal to many. Such cities as Klo and Huenos Aire should offer am ple entertainment and Instruction. The facili ties for going thither have been greatly ex tended and improved in recent years: the voy. age Is quite as comfortable. If not as quick, as that across the Atlantic. Already the steam ship companies are preparing for a rush of American tourists. This , movement, if It ful fills expectation, will be a favorable factor In the betterment of trade relations between the United States and South American nations. The vast amount of travel to Europe has been a stimulus to buslneas. and the same result Is bound to follow in this case. Personal interest counts for a great deal, even In the processes of buying and selling. Too Zealous I'pllft. Atlanta Constitution. It is difficult to restrain a good-natured smile over th protest made -by those unusual work. Ing girls of Chicago against being overchap- eroned. As reported by the Associated Press, an organization of society women supervising the municipal dance nans necreea inn no dances should proceed without the presence of "twelve chaperons, ten investigators, a social secretary and one professional nurse." The array is truly appalling. As one moder ate Atlanta young woman said, after reading the story, "Who could have a good time with such a mob hanging around?" . And who could? , Kvery man, woman and child of us is a natural. born, yearning end ag gressive reformer. We Walt to remodel th morars'of the "other fellow." That spirit, and the finer, .more fragrant spirit of Jesua Christ, haa gone into the campaigns to help the lot of young women, such as that campaign In Chicago:: . -r - - But occasionally these "upllfters" are in dan. ger of forgettjngg that those they would help are as human as themselves. Kor Instance, theae Chicago working girls retorted, "What about the debutante on the Lake Shore drive, who hunt the darkened balconies and nook of palms? Don't we want . to have aa good a time as these other girls In another station ?". The situation must have been embarrassing.

He said that he waa certain that the time was not distant when a majority of the railroads of tho South and ail of the highway trojley lines would be operated by electric energy Into which the water power of the South had been con verted, aa well as many of the Industrial plants I asked Mr. Westlnghouse If he recalled a visit made in the spring of 1892 to the banks of The "Niagara Klver, where "the work which, when completed, waa the greatest power plant in the world was under way. "I recall It very well," said Mr. Westlnghouse. There was a splendid company of men In that party." ' As Mr. Westlnghouse said thla I In turn recall ed vividly the manner in which them men, some of them with world wide reputations as scientists and inventors, made tacit and yet visible recognition of Mr. Westinghouses pre eminence among them. 'I remember aaying to you.'" continued Mr. Westlnghouse, "that we were going to demon strate the feasibility of rapturing some portion of the energy which Is In the Niagara Hlver and by mesne of - giant turbines convert that into electric energy -whirh. through apparatus In vented by Tesln, could be reduced to a commer cial voltage and then carried over wires to .Buf falo, twenty-odd miles away.

Dr. W. Rankin haa ' Just gone to Atlanta, where today he will meet with fie director -of the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tu berculosis. - This -will be one of the primary topics before 'that meeting. , The negro. It Is said, is throe times more susceptible to tuberculosis than the white man. and when he has ac quired the disease the mortality Is proportionately -great. Thia la ex plained by the history of the race. Of . all people the Jewa are least' auseep-. tible. This Is for the reason that the have been the longest time, as a racers accustomed to houses, and close la- i teriors. Tho Anglo-Saxon is coming, aa a race, to be less susceptible as time goes on. Now the negro, fresh from life In the open, the free life of savagery, la tender prey to the dts. esss. He can stand typhoid, as a mat ter of fact,- his past life makes htm almost Immune to one of the aconrges of the white raoe. Yet tuberculosis seize him relentlessly and carries him surely to a quick death. Tuberculosis," declared Dr. -W. 8. Rankin, "if nothing la done to slop it. will .sooner or later put an end to the race question by utter destruction of the negro." , - "Bertie county is in fins shape how peanuts aro at a good price." said Mr. K.
