J HOS’ MO D OF Suffra RESIDENT WILSON has granted a cordial, sympathetic hearing to three delegations of suffragists in less than three weeks. When a deputation of English suffragists tries to see Premier Asquith, several thousand police are called out and most of the women are sent to jail. And yet people wonder why there is a ‘‘militant’’ move- ment over there! Schools of crime have been dis- covered in New York for teaching small boys to pick pockets and com- mit misdemeanors. The greatest need right there is some school- ma’ams in the shape of women po- lice officers. o The women in China, it is said, have now advanced so far that they are held accountable for their crimes, instead of their male rela- tives. Here, too. It used to be the law in many of our States that a wife could not be punished for a crime committed in the presence of her husband. Having a husband was considered sufficient punish- ment for her—or, at least, that seemed to be just as good a reason as any for the law. Five hundred women assembled in the city hall of Wichita, Kan., just before the municipal election and gave each of twenty-one candi- dates five minutes to tell why they should vote for him. It has so long been the custom for bodies of men graciously to allow women five minutes to address them that those new voters in Wichita must have chuckled and chortled at the chance to turn the tables, “Women’s place is in the home the anti-suffragists. Perhaps it is at nighttime; but if the six million women “ Woman's Place" is where the children of the nation have forced the children of the nation into industry, the women of the nation should demand and be given every means direct indirect within the power of the nation to regulate industry eo that the children be returned to the homes of the nation, where they belong. conditio gette “Sana By IDA HUSTED HARPER bread-winners in the United States didn’t leave the home in the morning, how long would they have one to go to when the day’s work was done?

More than a thou- sand are practicing in various States, eligible to do this before their Supreme Court and even before the Supreme Court of the United States, and yet not qualified to vote for a village con- stable! Fine theme for a comic opera! o The most interesting thing about the suffrage movement in the United States is guessing what the women will do next, and the general public is not getting a bit more fun out of it than the suffragists themselves. A mere political campaign will seem very stupid to them after the vote is won, a That Texas preacher who asked all the women of his congregation on Easter Sunday to take off their hats had St. Paul beaten to a fraz- zle. Oo The educational requirement for voting in Arizona disfranchises a great many Mexican and Indian ‘women, but it is supposed over fifty thousand women are now electors. The entire suffrage campaign was made on less than $2,200. Women can give men a good many points on economy, even in politics. A Sprightly Department (The Woman Voter) JupcE continues its sprightly depart- ment, The Modern Woman, for which Mrs. Ida Husted Harper writes brilliant little suffrage snapshots, and Miss Lou Rogers draws original and forceful car- toons. Through the kindness of the edi- tor of JupGE, we have been able to pub- lish many of Miss Rogers’s cartoons in the Voter, “The Crowning Attribute of Lovely Woman is Cleanliness” The well-dressed woman blesses and benefits herself—and the world—for she adds to its joys.
