"The proposal to close the ?chool?.

"The proposal to keep the ?chotis

be needed more th?n ever thi? year,
because of the shortage of fai-u lofeor
due to the draft.
"Under government control of the

ster up the co*l situation, ?o that
schools need never be ?hut down for

W/hat s in
a
River
If a New York woman
mjjbves across North River into
Nafew Jersey or if a Kansas
woman moves across the Mis
souri, both lose their right to
ivote. But a New York man
/can move to El Paso and a
/Kansas man can move to
Michigan or Maine and their
voting rights will still be protected.
Is there any real reason why the women
on one side of a river should be entitled to
a voice in the laws under which they live
and work when the women on the other
side are deprived of it ?
Is It Common Sense?
The Congress is the only power in this
country which .can take the first step in
removing the artificial boundaries which
now beset half of the country's citizens.
Let democracy be as genuine on one side
of our rivers as on the other?on one side
of our country as on the other. In Con
gress, and Congress alone, is vested the
power to accomplish this.
The premiers of Great Britain, Canada,
Sweden and Italy have pledged woman
suffrage through their national parliaments.
Women who vote, and women who
want to vote, call on Congress to pave the
way for similar progress in the United
States by passing the Federal Suffrage
Amendment.
