That has never been proved, but the criminologist draws a sharp sex line at that very point. A juvenile court judge has recently aflirmed that out of fourteen hundred delinquent boys who appeared before him all but eight or nine owned up, while out of the same number of delinquent girls only eight or nine could be induced to tell the court anything it did not know already A police matron asked to verify promptly did so, giving another black eye to the delinquent woman’s reputation for veracity The shadows seem to gather over woman as the soul of honor. But listen: Little children lie because they are afraid to face punishment. Old people in their dotage lie like children, and for the same fear of dis- approval. Women ina jail are few and in a strange place. They have all the fear that goes with the unfamil- jar. They haven't the bravado that come from the sense of know- ing the place from the ground up. Man’s jail nce isto woman’s even as the number of his pockets is to hers, sixteen to one. Isn’t it proved that lying and fear go to- gether, rather than lying and femininity? Don’t we have to almost admit that women may be even more lawabiding than men through fear rather than excess of virtue? The true feminist refuses to be discouraged with her sex. She rather sees evidence everywhere of women out in the world grappling with difficulties on the same terms with men or worse, and looks cheerfully forward to the day when women who break the law will hold up their heads and tell the truth about it because no longer cowed by fear. Anything is possible to a sex that in the memory of living men has moved from the time when women beheld almost with terror the mechanism of their own sewing- machines to the time when women driv crank, and demonstrate motor cars. C ABREAST OF THE TIMES 1DOGAN Suffrage Facts and Fancies BETZ move never came home to him until he saw it in black and white on the map. What he saw was British Columbia as a black spot in the midst ofa glaring whiteness that stretched to Behring Strait on the north, to the Hudson Bay on the east, and to Mexico on the south. “This will never do,” we can easily imag- ine him musing. “British Columbia can never compete for settlers if it stands alone as the one western province in which men refuse political equality to its women. Governments in the East may ignore the wishes of women, but in the West the woman homemaker isthe cornerstone of the state. If it’s a little thing like the vote she must have to induce her to trek to British Columbis the vote she shall hav And he forthwith in- cluded women suffrage in the referendum list for the coming general election. Did he be- lieve that politics was a man’s business? Would he like to have his wife be a policeman? He never thought to ask; he never knew. British Columbia must be up to date—that was the sum and substance of the whole question. The Woman versus the Cow ps A western state some years ago oc- curred a notable debate. The members of an agricultural society measured wits on the question: — Isa cow or a wife more valuable to a farmer? The judge, with many expressions of polite regret, decided in favor of the cow. The argument which he found incontrovertible was to the effect that when in financial trouble the farmer could sell the cow but not his wife. In the eastern states wherever a suffrage campaign is in progress the relation of woman to human society is fiercely de- bated. A pair of social workers have re taken the family pen in hand and proved to their own satisfaction and that of their followers that the ‘femaleness f woman is more vital to herself and society than any mere human qualities; that it is Sener canton’ we Teelactee oy aincesas ve Not to Be Out of Style HE Premier of British Columbia looked fra at the latest woman suffrage map of bal wcnay ender or ser Carter Pebshing Co, Vandergsift Bide Pitsbarrs, Pa.
