And the statement bas set incre than one person thinking. of Carrie Nation and her hat ade are all but a memory. Even e recent Pankhurst pranks have ted to the limbo of obscurity by world exents of greater magnitude. Yet during all this lull in the agitation for "Votes for Women' the erent day has at- rived and toduy we have the voters' Tists posted up with the mimes of every Woman over 21 years appearing thereon on an equal footing with those of the 1 perior animal. Votes for women are no longer a myth--an idle dream of short- haired female "agitators--they are a reality --an unknown quantity to be reckoned with by all those seeking office in the hall of our Provincial Parliament As regards the Provincial Referendum there seems to be little doubt but that Economically clean She saved work--Sunlight Soap washed the olothes without rub- bing.

From experience gained as an snumerator there is abundant evidence that this host of amateur voters is going to be "right there with the goods'" when the day for voting comes. Especially will this be so at the temperance referendum. Almost every woman who enswered the enumers. tors questions appeared to be looking forward to the day whea she would cast her first ballot in 4 government election--when {she would be the ey of her lord and master in her right (® voice her opinion on matters of state. Undoubtedly. there will be a large percentage of the new female vote polled at the referendum. Interesting, indeed, were the enumera- tor's experiences in collaborating the of voters. There has been so much |¥assing for and against "wet" and 'dry' legislation in recent years, that it was dif- jficult to convince some householders that the enumerator was not the gent either of the temperance forces or the liquor interests. [Complications would sometimes crop up |wben the "woman of the house" would {slyly omit to mention her husband's name {if she knew him to belong to the * class, and vice versa Eternal vigilance {was necessary on the part of the enumera- |tor. 'You can mark me down for prohibi- tion," was the frequent answer when the enumerator told his mission, They imagined the enumerator was recording the vote |there und then. But there were other women who experienced a keen interest in making their "debut!" among the "duly qualified to vote at elections to the Legis- lative Assembly," The coming Provincial elections will be the most interesting ever held in this Pro- , and the number of votes polled Will 'be a pretty safe estimate of how much the women appreciate the franchise for which some of their sex have so long and so vali- antly fought. If they come to the polls the campaign of Mrs, Pankhurst and her fol lowers will not have beei in vain from a woman's standpoint.
