The question was not an isgun there or likely to be, but it was a vital issue in Ohio, to b~ settled in four days, and yet not by spoken or written word di1 he show to the peo- ple of Ohio that hio knew of its ex- istence Two days after the Progressive par ty in Ohlo permitted the defeat of this amendment its state convention met. If any women were electel delegates the press dispatches failed to mention it, and in the platform a woman suf- frage plank was conspicuous by its ab- sence. “The Progressive party pledges itself to the task of securing equal suf- frage to men and women alike,” says its national platform, and Ohlo has Just given the first example of the way it apparently means to keep that pledge. In Mr. Roosevelt's second term the suffragists determined to make every possible efort to secure an indorse @ent from him. As Miss Susan B. Anthony's most eloquent letters to him received no answer, she went In person to see him in November, 1905, just four months before her death.

And yet just four months after this publication, when Mr. Roosevelt had definitely decided to make the contest for the presidentizl nomination, all his scruples about forcing suffrage on a hostile and indifferent majority van- ished In thin air because a million and a half already had votes and the colo- nel wanted them, and he knew they wonldn't stand for any nonsense about a referendun ‘No Profit in Alligators, The dilliculty about ruising alliga tors to #upply the demarnd for the anle mais ubu skins is that they do not attain full growth for tbout 100 years, The skin of the six or seven-year-old animal Is availad':, however, for many practical purposcs, one on a farm at Palm Beach which measures 18 feet in length and is sald to be about 900 years old.
