THE MODERN WOMAN Suffrage Facts and Fancies EIZ By ANNA CADOGAN The Mills of Suffragists Should Grind Slowly WO bachelors break the law to one Traied man: so runs the report of the District Attorney of New York County. “Here! Here!” exclaims the suffrage press. “See how the homemaker conserves morals. Give her the vote.” Three times as many married men commit arson and suicide as unmarried men: so ran anearlier report. “Here! Here!” exclaims the anti-suffrage press. “Woman is such a failure in the home that in his dejection the husband lacks the nerve to commit a qime that requires any courage but in despair over home conditions tries to burn the home down or escape it by the suicide path. Did we not read of two soldiers just the other day one of whom told the other that he had enlisted because he had no family and liked war, whereupon the other replied that he had enlisted because he bada wife and liked peace. Do not enlarge the sphere of woman when statistics show that she has so dismally failed in the one ordained for her by nature and with the consent of man.” And there you are. It is sometimes casier to start things than to sop them. If suffragists use as grist every- thing that comes to the suffrage mill, the anti-suffragists can easily beat them to it, and will presently be claiming that the excess of insanity and suicide in California which scientists lay to the over-stimulating dimate is really due to votes for women. Shall a Portmanteau Theatre be Followed by a Portmanteau Home? “THE RIGHT kind of a woman can carry ‘home’ in a suitcase.” If a suffragist had said it, it might be charged to the “four-flushing-account.” But far from being the utterance of one of those so-called flighty votes for women creatures, it em- anated from the pen of a most stable, con- sevative, and also famous woman writer and adorned the pages of one of the most respectable periodicals of the day. We know the “Portmanteau Theatre” and the efficiency with which it carries the drama long distances to the enrichment of the cultural atmosphere of a town, an en- Tchment in which the express company is not included. But the ‘Portmanteau Home” is an idea that comes with startling freshness. It is to ponder. The “Home” as a building containing a cook stove on which something might be burning if not constantly watched, and filled with children whose morals and whose Stockings were alike in need of constant supervision to the end that weak spots might be strengthened: this immovable in- Sitution has blocked the way of reform.
