'Madame Ilona Ttmko, a 'Hungarian this country, who. In connection with the Y. W. C. has done 'much for Hungarian Immigrant girls, when interviewed by a representative of the New York Evening Post, paid the following tribute to her countrywomen and to the men who are not too jealous to give them the respect and admiration that they earn: From the highest class to the poorest peasant, the position held by the Hungarian woman is one of respect and equality.

She fs the head of the household, and all the money which the man earns is turned over to his wife, who has full financial control. It isnt at all strange a Hungarian peasant family to. hear the husband ask the wife for few cent with. which to buy tobaego. mediaeval war Is 1 -it whose will and The women, are consulted oil all peace.

When the democrats of Valdez. Alaska, elected delegates last month to the Skagway -convention, they chose a woman to head the delega-tlon. Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany, upon Whom most of the responsibility for the European war is being laid, does not believe In the woman movement. Womans sphere, he says, lies In attention 0 to three things Children, kitchen" and church. In the face of the International crisis, the English Women's Social and Political union, Mrs.

Pankhurafa aociety, gave orders to stop tactics in order not to harass the government. yh. petition to close the notorious Freibergs dance hall was taken to Mayor Harrison of Chicago lst week by a delegation of women, headed by Miss Harriet Vittum. The petition bad 18.583 narfies attached. There is certainly --no logical reason against American women having the vote, and the vote for many active and unoccupied women would be a great thing for them as well as for the country.

Owen Johnson, The first plank in' the democratic 'state platform in Washington, where women vote, is: "Full equality should bt-flves by law to men and women, and all Inequalities imposed upon women should be abolished. The Womans-Century, published ip Toronto. Canada, has this to say as to the vote for women: What men In increasing numbers are beginning to realize is. that womans outlook is continually expanding and that this Wider outlook is- reflected from the many facets nf a multiplex activity Inspired and directed by a growing consciousness that for the full acceptance and discharge of duty there must be equality of opportunity and responsibility. V- In Austria it Is illegal for women to belong: to any political They are not even allowed tq have a Woman Suffrage association, but only a Woman Suffrage committee.

If a woman in any other country is driven by 111 treatment to leave her husband, and takes refuge in Austria, the law requires the Austrian government to extradite her if her husband demands It. A woman, for the flrst'time in the history of Colorado, recently called a state assembly to order. Mrs. Gertrude A. Lee.

A Butte paper has analyzed the membership of the Anti-Suffrage league lately formed in that city bv the organizer sent out by Mrs. Arthur Air Dodge, of New York. Half of Its members are childless only ttee are working women; and the majority axe wives of men who get their incomes directly or indirectly from the Amalgamated Copper copany, a big cor poration which is the open enemy of -equal suffrage in JSIew York Women and county chairmen of the republican, democratic and progressive parties with tbe request that-the mattei be taken up at meetings of the party leaders. Miss Bowensteln, who is a practis- lng lawyer, quotes as a precedent a special enabling act of the New York leg'slature of 1893 which reads: "Th electors may elect 'as delegates any male or female citizens of this state above the age of 21 years.

The committee, in stating reasons for its belief that women should have a place in the constitutional convention says: "Since womn are rendering such Important service to the state that, public recognition has' been made in the shape of appointment to offices formerly exclusively held by, men, add since much of the pioneer work in labor legislation, fire prevention, factory and borne sanitation was, started by women, and since women are ac- tlvely engaged in work along tbeso and other clvio and social betterment lines. It Is logical that they should do- sir representation in a convention where the fundamental law of the state will be enacted for th next twenty years. "Their broad experience along the above outlined paths, as well as In educational -matters, would make it seem not only proper as far as they at concerned, but Important As far as th best interests of the stats ar concerned, to permit such experience to be utilized to its fullest extent.

One of the favorite stories Hungarian women tell again and again to their- children is the one of the -capture of Fort Egrl (Egri, var bevetele) and how Dobo' Katlca. the wife of the chief whose territory was being besieged by the Turks, led the jiromen against the Invaders. Che rode out into the center of the town and called the women together, asking them in the name of their country to arm themselves and her. They disappeared, and shd was afraid for a while that they were not brave or patriotic enough to fight; but soon they returned, armed with pitchforks and stone, and followed her.

BARONESS VON SUTTNER In th death of Baroness Bertha von Suttner In June, the world lost one who was pre-eminent not. only in letters, but ln'hen influence, and marked efforts to bring about peace, justice and righteousness.

As she was an Austrian her message of peace is especially interesting, and impell lng. at this tiros when her country te the aggressor in the terrible war in volving the great European powers. The following from the Review of Reviews, regarding herself and her-work. is of interest: Several months before her death, which occurred on June 21, 1914. the late Bareness- Bertha von Suttner authorized the English translation, by Nathan Haskell Dole, of her romance, "When Thoughts Will Soar.

This bas been brought out in tbe United States by Houghton, Mifflin. The Baroness von Suttner not only won for herself the Nobel Prize In 1905. when she brought o.ut hsc famous book, "Bay Down Your Arms (Die Waffen Nleder): she also begad an epoch in, the development in' the international peace Idea by this novel of civilization. Hfer "When Tho- hts Will Soar" Is -also- a novel of -peace, but It is especially addressed to women, "and--to all -who-' believe the elevation of women. It ts a wholesome love story, full of romance and elevated sentiment.

Tbs young and beautiful heroine ts at times apparently over-burdened by tbe task of communicating the- message of the eminent anthor to the She remains wholesome and feminine In the best sense, however, and. while the reader is likely to feel a little afraid of her at times, this same reader' (whether masculine or feminine) cannot help hoplnr that Franks really doei typify, to a degree, the woman of tho future. 4 -s The Past Mrs. Arthur C.

It will be for them a question of bard practical politics. They will do it because they dare not do otherwise. The Seven Campaign Reports from each of the seven campaigh states bristle with enthusiasm.

We read' in the Woman's Journal: The time is fast approaching when all suffragists will be breathless "What are our chances TX will be beard on every side; for In seven states at the elections this fall the Voters will decide whether or not the women of those states shall be enfranchised.

It has not been childs play to get the question where the voters could pass upon It. In some cases stubborn legislatures have had to be convinced; In other cases the amendment haa had to pass two successive sessions: and where that method has failed or seemed inadvisable, initiative petitions have had to be circulated a laborious task.

Those who have not watched a suffrage campaign fcm start to finish will appreciate the work which women have to undergo tn order to win a political status equal with men. 1 Of Ohio, the last of the seven states to present its petition, we read lastly, there Is Ohio, a state which many suffragists are likely to overlook because of the defeat In 1913.

Mr Bristow, when asked by The Woman's Journal regarding the prospects for another vote In the senate, sends the following' statement; "Yours pf July is received.

In reply 1 beg to-say that 1 do not think the prospect for passing any woman suffrage amendment at this session is now very promising. It is very late in the session, a large number of things are pending, and it would be difficult' to get that amendment again before the senate until a number of other matters have been disposed of. it already having occupied the attention of the senate, for a considerable time during this uession. "I have been disappointed that further progress has not been made In the house, and hope that progress may yet be made in that branch of congress." Turning to the house, one' finds little work in the open; the amendment haa been carried Into the devious by-ways of committee and caucus rule. It was on, April 7.

1.9 IS, sixteen months ago, that Representative Frank W. Mondell, of Wyoming introdneed the resolution (No. 1) oro-posing an amendment. Since then It has been impossible to'vecure a vote. The rules committee refused by a tie vote to grant a special committee oa woman suffrage, such as the senate has.

A caucus of ths democratic majority backed up the rules committee- in this stand. Suffragists then turned to the judiciary committee, and by the overwhelming force of opinion forced them to report the amendment Without recommendation. When there was no action, Mr. Mon dell Introduced resolution (No. 614), that would make a vote possible this session.

The resolution went to the rules committee, but with a great public sentiment behind it. Chairman Robert I Henry, of Texas, has said that it would be reported favorably, but vote of the committee baa not teen secured. Delegation after delegation has- interviewed first Chairman Henry, and --then Acting Chairman Edward W. Pou, North Carolina. The committee, however, seems in no hurry to meet.

The above amendment is known both as the Briatow-Mondell amendment. 'and also as the Susan B. Anthony amendment. Shafroth- Palmer Amendment. Another federal amendment- was introduced into the senate by Senator John F.

Shafroth, of Colorado, and in the bouse by Representative A. -Mitchell Palmer, of Pennsylvania. This amendment has been a sub ject of debate among many soffragistsw and has been -opposed by the Congressional union. -It has, however, received the hearty support of the congressional committee of the" National American Woman Buffrage association. Its object is to facilitate State action.

It provides for the submission of suffrage amendment in any state upon the petition, of 6 per cent, of the voters, a majority decision to be final. The fihafroth-Palmer amendment baa been reported favorably by the senate committee on woman suffrage. It haa not, however, been pushed to a vote, and the national congressional committee have declared their belief that the regular nation-wide amendment should have right of way at all times. With the fail elections staring them in the face, congressmen do not want openly to oppose suffrage. How long will they be able to dodge the issue?
