T HG MODE Her Right To Vote. By WILLIAM A. McGARRY, SHE has toiled in the camps of a thou- sand wars since time and life began; She has washed the wounds and festered sores of every race of man. She has gone where no man dared to go, Where plague and pestilence laid low, And calmly she has fought the foe From which her brothers ran. She has guarded the men who rule her now from infancy to age; When doubt arose, she taught them how the right and wrong to gauge. She has worked for them through darkest night, Her counsel ever hopeful, bright. She has tried to make their burdens light, And small has been her wage. What joy the men of earth have had is due to her tenderness; She has fought unswervingly the bad, she has soothed with a soft caress. Now man-made laws of foul design Her sphere and efforts undermine. Is she to give no outward sign, And thus defeat confess? Is she to be but a household slave, a drudge and a parasite, Or strive, with a heart that is ever brave, as in bygone years, for right? Is she to show her strength at last, Hope hidden in the darkening past, And sweep the world with an angry blast, To end the rule of might? She has asked for the right a vote to cast. Let no mere man decide That she is not qualified. His past is not all to his pride. She has, in every hall of fame, A place beside the greatest name Of man. Why is her righteous claim To vote with man denied? The new Progressive party's platform in Michigan recognizes woman's right to vote by inserting a plank therein. fora few seconds only At stores or sample pair on receipt of 25¢. Why Not Maid of Arts? Smith College has graduated 365 young women with the degree of bache- lor of arts. One of these days there will be a reform in the titles of degrees for which women as well as men com- pete, and certainly it would seem that distinctively women’s colleges should at once get busy in this matter.

Naiad Dress Shields AW OMAN Conservative Action. The General Federation of Women's Clubs has just been in session in San Francisco. The women’s clubs of the country are doing a great work along many lines that make for human happi- ness, as well as for the betterment of the conditions of the sex. That this federation is not yet ready to enter the arena for suffrage, however, is shown by the defeat of a resolution to indorse that movement. There are many friends of suffrage among the women’s clubs, but it seems:that a ma- jority of those who compose those clubs are not yet ready to favor it as a gen- eral proposition. In time, no doubt, this federation will lend its influence as a body toward the inevitable enfranchisement of woman in this country. Some of the reforms which the federation will try to enforce will be embodied in bills for the better- ment of defective children; for the ap- pointment of experts by the State edu- cational boards to place sex hygiene in the curriculum of every normal school, and to have women police in all of the larger cities of the country. New York has a woman detective who has won her way to equality among the men in that department of government, and in view of this fact it would seem that there should be places for women in other branches of ‘‘the force.’’ Surely the world moves!
