T H E Sparks from the Suffrage Anvil. By IDA HUSTED HARPER, . T IS unfair for one of the prominent woman suffragists to telegraph the Californ “rs in regard to Mr. Taft, ‘Strike down our enemy!’’ He is not in any sense of the word an “enemy."” While he has always ex- pressed himself with some qualification, two things should be remembered: Mr. Taft is the only President of the United States who has ever said one word in favor of woman suffrage and he has said much more in favor of it than has the other Republican candidate. As for the Democratic candidates, not one has given a favorable opinion. To call Mr. women M Taft an ‘‘enemy"’ is a campaign short acd ugly word. Philadelphia suffragists are not going to let the New York contin- gent have a monopoly on parades. They have invited the National As- sociation to hold its annual conven- tion in the City of Sisterly Love next fall, and they are going to have a procession that will reach from Independence Hall to Fairmount Park. Meanwhile Chicago votes- for-women getters are going to show both cities a real parade. It doesn’t matter where it is to begin, but it will end at the Republican convention, acting as escort for a plank which the party will put in its platform if it has a small fraction of the wisdom which it thinks it possesses. The Countess Ogasawara, here from Japan to attend the Red Cross Confer- ence, says the women of her country are not in favor of suffrage, because they ‘do not want to take the places of the men."" Doesn't it ever occur to those who make this objection that there exquisitely clean are thoroughly hygienic and healthful to the most delicate sk can be easily and quickly STERILIZED by immersing in boiling water for a few seconds only. O DE RN might be a place in politics for both men and women? Why should politics be considered a part of the national life which men can manage absolutely with- out the help of women, especially when they have made such a failure of it? c With votes at primary elections cost- ing five dollars apiece, how do the women expect ever to carry New York for equal suffrage? The high cost of living is nothing compared with the high cost of voting. Father Vaughan, the English divine, thinks Joan of Arc, if she were here, would not be a suffragette. From what we know of that progressive young “LET HIM THAT THINKETH Ih STANDETH, TAKE BEED LEST HE Pall.” woman, we think she would ride her charger at the’ head of the most militant branch of the army. And she would be “‘canonized"’ for it, just as will be the pioneers of the suffrage movement, who were figuratively burned at the stake for leading a just cause. The turning of swords into plowshares and spears into pruning hooks has been outclassed. The women of Wisconsin have turned their bridge clubs into suf- frage clubs. W | | O M A N The Lineup.
