THE MODERN WOMAN Curbside Comments hy OREOLA W. HASKELL . the suffrage cohorts £0, look out for weal or woe, 1g world in passing may bestow. La ‘And note what word the Expi Together ITHIN home’s warm and glowing bounds, Behold them side by side, The man and woman, comrades true, To love’s dear interests tied. About the busy marts they pass, Shoulder ’gainst shoulder pressed, In the serried ranks of workers, By labor's duties blessed. In halls where careless joy reigns free, Mid music, flowers, song, And in the hushed haunts of prayer, They mingle with the throng. They learn together, suffer, strive, Face life and death and fate— Should such companions sternly part At the portals of-the State? No! Let the mighty gates swing wide; Together let them go, Empowered, equal, both to serve Their country’s weal or woe. Suffrage Parables Parable of the Parade—And it came to pass that there went through the streets amighty host of women of the tribe of suffragists, with banners waving and cym- bals and tabors going on before making music. Anda multitude looked from the roadways and the housetops, and some of them spake jesting, saying, “Behold, there will be no more buttons sewed or flesh of the pig fried, since the daughters of men have risen up against the kitchen.’” But a certain man, a saver of souls, who had scoffed at the passing of the women, looked forth in amaze at them and mar- veled mightily at their faces and at their decent robes, saying, “Verily, long did I revile these, know- ing naught of them save from the funny papers, which did make them forth freaks. Howbeit, they are even as my church charges for whose souls I labor, even also as the keepers of the homes, and even as the worthy toilers who wot not of foolish- ness. Lo, henceforth shall I lift up my voice in praise, yea, in high praise; for I have beheld them with mine eyes and go no longer by evil report or the sayings of foolish tongues.’” And straightway he departed, to read parchments bearing on the subject that filled these women with a mighty purpose. SOME SIZE! Suffrage Snapshots By IDA HUSTED HARPER T THE next election after California women were enfranchised, the vote of the State increased 313,883. As has often been remarked, women wouldn’t use the suffrage if they had it. fa) Bishop Winchester, of Arkansas, in a recent address in New York, declared that “white slavery”’ did not exist in his State. The same day the dispatches announced that its Supreme Court had sustained the legality of the prohibition bill passed by the last Legislature. It seems as if Ar- kansas men might give women the suf- frage now—they would have nothing more to lose. o Why try to get acquainted with the people on Mars, when we have so little time to give to those we know on earth? a The Indians of Alaska have been cau- tioned so much about swearing in public since women were enfranchised up there that they refuse to give the oath as wit- nesses in court. o In all of the Eastern cities thousands of children are kept out of school because there are no seats for them. Does any one believe this would be the case if women handled the school funds? A good many useless officials who are now hold- ing down chairs would stand up and the school children would have seats. a The Episcopal general convention ap- pointed a committee on marriage and di- vorce, five bishops, five presbyters and five laymen—no women, of course—what do women know about such important questions? They should thankfully ac- cept men’s superior judgment. The executive committee of the Gen- eral Federation of Women’s Clubs has been informed that at its biennial in Chi- cago next year delegates representing a million women will demand an indorse- ment of woman suffrage. Yes, and that body will not be able to sidestep the ques- tion cleverly, as it did last year in San Francisco. a The lawyers for Governor Sulzer pleaded with the court not to add to impeachment the penalty of disfranchisement—‘‘a pun- ishment second only to that of death.’”” What crime have women committed that all of them should suffer this penalty and disgrace? ° A high court in New York has decided that it is not incompatible for a woman to be a mother and a teacher, too. “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.
