CANADA'S WAR ORDERS REACH $500,009,000 OTTAWA, Ont., Nov, 1.—Before leaving for New York, whence he will sail for England after undergoing a minor operation, D. A. Thomas, Lioyd George's personal representa- tive in America, declared that orders wear, Hosiery, Shoes, Gloves, and all the smart accessories of dress; Ridiag Habits and Motor Clothes. Frequent changes are made in the merchan- dise on display, creating thereby a PERMANENT EXHIBITION OF FASHIONS. Fit; Avenue-Madison Anenur, 34th and 35th Streets Sew York being allocated in Canada for war supplies and munitions would amount w the aggregate to something like $50,000,000, or more than $40 per head of the population of Canada. “This, with the enormous grain crop that has just been harvested in the west, will spell industrial ,pros- perity for Canada for some time to come,” said Mr. Thomas. “The profits of Canadian manufac- turers have been higher than they were entitled to,” sald Mr. Thomas, “put this was perhaps diMcult to 39,465,081.5 To the Electors of the At the approaching State election, we who sign this statement intend to vote for the amendment to the State Constitution conferring the elective franchise upon wom- en, and in order that the reasons which influence us to this action may be called to the attention of the largest possible number of our fellow-voters, we have endeavored to for- mulate very summarily those considerations which we re- gard as particularly cogent. They are the following: We believe that it is unjust in the existing condition of society to deny to women a privilege that is so. vital to their welfare. é entire structure of our political theory is founded upon the assumption that every element of the community which shares in the responsibilities of its life and suffers from mistakes in the administration of its affairs is justly entitled to an immediate share in determining its course. If there is ever any justification for limiting the application of this principle in practice, it can hardly be found in anything short of incapacity to understand and to accommodate one’s self to established institutions. It will not be claimed that the women, upon whom we de- pend to rear our sons and to educate them in patriotism and a true conception of civic duty, are disqualified by a lack of intelligence or of devotion to their country’s in- stitutions to enjoy a privilege which has been so freely ace corded, not only to the unschooled native-born but to the alien immigrant, often wholly unfamiliar with both our political institutions and our habits of political thought. Women need the right to vote. They are vitally concerned with every matter that touches the household, from housing and sanitation to the cost of living; with everything that concerns children—the most vital of all our interests—from their custody and education to matters of hygiene and punishment, with whatever has to do with the relations of men and women from the laws of mar- riage, divorce and inheritance to the regulation of the liquor traffic; with all that relates to conditions of labor— from factory regulation and the regulation of child labor to workmen's compensation laws. In very truth, in re- spect to everything in the world that affects the life of the lation as a whole, the interest of woman, her respon- sibility and her liability to suffer from the effects of bad yermment are greater and are more directly involved are those of man, Every day of the world’s progress she is more deeply immersed in those interests and those labors which we call “the affairs of men” and every day makes her stake in the life of the community and her need for a direct influence in its councils proportionately great- er. Directly, or almost directly, she shares every burden of modern society and many of those burdens she carries without any aid from man, Among the women of this country there is a demand for the privilege of the franchise such as never existed among any equal number of men; and because women already placed and large orders now avoid under the circumstances.” State of New York: need it and wish it and are capable of using it, it is unjust to deny it to them. Again we believe that it is desirable, in the interest of the State, that women should be given the suffrage. The interest of any peo- ple is best served by frequent resort to the advice and ultimately to the direction of all those who are affected by its laws and their ad- ministration. To consult the whole body of citizenship increases the chance that the real good of the whole will be secured and that the occasions of disorder, discontent and inefficiency will be avoided; and particularly is this true when the element immediately con- cerned comprises those who best know the fundamental conditions of every-day existence, who suffer most from the mistakes of those in power and who so far project the consequences of their suffering into the lives of others. We believe, moreover, that it is fundamentally opposed to the interests of the State and Nation that half of their citizens are by the conditions of, their lives deprived of that interest in the scope, the composition and the administration of government, which is the tap stimulus to the cultivation of the activities that broaden the intelligence, increase human sympathy and make in every direc- tion for the improvement both of the tate and of its individual citizens. The State needs the maximum of possible wisdom and patriotism in all of its citizens, and how can it achieve this better than by giving to women the greatest incentive to love it and to serve it. And what wisdom is better than the intuition of woman or what patriotism higher than her aspiration for the future of the land that is to be the home of her sons and daughters ? Finally we cannot sympathize with those who, conceding that this privilege of the franchise must some time be accorded, prefer to yield it grudgingly and only when the demand no longer can be denied. We do not believe in making what might be the occasion of gratitude the cause of resentment nor in subtracting from the usefulness of the gift by postponing its enjoyment. The sooner victory is gained in the struggle for the right of women to vote, the sooner will be set free for public service in other directions the energy which is now devoted to that struggle and which will con- tinue to be devoted to it until the right is won. Because, then, women are justly entitled to the suffrage; be- cause they need it; because great numbers of them plead for it; be- cause, as we are convinced, it is expedient in the interests of all men and women that they shall have it, the privilege should in our judg- ment be given ungrudgingly and given now, Evpert H.
