and economic, its solution a matter of speculation; the love of women for chil- dren and their desire to protect them can be demonstrated by facts. In Colorado, where women have voted since 1893, a State department has been created for the protection of children. It is supported by the State, with offices in the capitol. Six hundred agents, with power of police or sheriff, are constantly guarding the welfare of the young. The magnificent legislation of last year in California shows what women voters mean to do with their political power. The successful passage of laws for equal guardianship, the protection of illegit- imate children, minimum wages and pro- tection of women workers, child labor laws, raising the age of consent, estab- lishing training schools for delinquent girls, developing kindergartens and play- grounds and providing for pure milk and pare food is due in large measure to the efforts of women. Other equal-suffrage States present similar illustration of the mother spirit in politics. Curbside Comments By OREOLA W. HASKELL With bugles and with bani suffrage cohorts £0, And I, a watcher 00 the out for weal oF woe, ‘And note what word the gaping world in passing may bestow. Reason Some husbands do their reason praise, “Are guided by it all their days,"’ And yet how puzzling are their ways! For if at home their wives abide, Their joys find at the fireside, Their helpmates thus will them deride: “You need a change; you're dull and slow. For heaven's sake, get on the go, And clear your minds of dust and dough!"” And when the wives, in trustful wise, Do what their mentors loud advise And join in church or club emprise, Then ‘‘pained and shocked” their part- ners get, And with pale faces, stern and set, Begin to frown and fume and fret: “It's shameful how your thoughts remote From hearth and husband constant float! Men only on home women dote.’’ Increased Basiness THAT the enfranchisement of women will increase the business of munici- pal engineers, contractors and the manu- facturers of machinery and supplies seems to be the opinion expressed by Engineer- ing and Contracting. This conviction is based upon the fact that women will usu- ally vote for public improvemente, as they did in Highland Park, IIl., where they went 66 to 5 in favor of the $24,000 bond issue which is to defray the cost for water works, sewerage and paving im- provements. Women as _ housekeepers, especially in rural districts, suffer more than men from the lack of a system that will supply their homes with water, and are also interested in the question of Sewerage. It would be like the various trades involved in improvements work to look upon the feminine ballot holder as an angel floating in a business aura, and so help her to enter the voting arena.
