THE MODERN WOMAN Suffrage Facts and Fancies By ANNA CADOGAN ETZ A Loose Screw Y ONE eminent statesman we are asked why women wish to vote when they already in the home control the making and shaping of voters. By an eminent rear-admiral arguing for military training we are told, “The average boy is neither obedient, helpful nor well mannered. We have learned that these things can’t be taught in the home.” Surely there is a screw loose somewhere. If women in the home can't possibly teach boys to be polite and helpful, there is little chance of their being able to seize their scissors and cut out of the human parchment voters to suit their aspirations. Some Ifs F votes for women is going to make home life one long scrap, it can’t be proved by the parade in Terre Haute in celebration of the granting of suffrage to Indiana women, for in it whole families marched together. If votes for women means neglected babies, it can’t be proved from vital statistics which show that in 1915 it was equal suffrage Seattle, and in 1916 it was equal suffrage Spokane where babies showed the strongest grip on life. Crossing the Bar Js New York State suffragists, fair and otherwise, are entreating men to let them help bear the burdens of government. Across the Canadian line in Ontario the men, through the legislature, said, “Come on, girls, and help!” In New York State, suffragists are told that they must first prove that the great mass of women want to vote and then the men will see about it Over the Canadian line in Ontario, Premier Hearst did not stop for a little thing like that. He announced that he knew they didn’t. In the New York Senate one speaker cited the war as proof of the help- lessness of women in times of national emergency. Across the Canadian line the vote had just been given to Ontario women because the war had proved the dependence of a country upon the services of its women ip wartime. H® today and there tomorrow in the race for equal rights and honors: at is the hard and fast rule. With banners flying Jeannette Rankin stepped to the head of the pro- cession as the only woman elected to a national legislature on this con tinent. Her public appearance was heralded by immense audiences. Het printed words had to be safeguarded by the copyright man. As the honored guest of a state legislature, leaders of both political parties mobilized to escort her to the speaker’s rostrum. But, alack, a day! Before she had the chance to be sworn into office she had to divide honors with Miss Hermila Galindo who had been duly elected to the lower house of the Mexican Congress. And the only crumb of pre- eminence for our Jeannette lies in the fact that she had the chance to vote for herself—a right from which poor Hermila was excluded. Here Today and There Tomorrow Tripped Up By His Own Ardor OWN in Raleigh, North Carolina, a modest little suffrage bill slipped under the legislative door. It mildly proposed to give town suffrage to women via local option. In the West it would have been laughed at. In the North it would have been ignored as trivial. But in North Carolina it proved a boomerang. Its appearance so lashed to fury a locally eminent judge that he delivered against it a diatribe so scathing that he at least considered woman suffrage in North Carolina as dead as a door nail. But the unexpected happened. And the tale of how the lofty judge fell from his pinnacle tripped up by his own ardor; of how his indictment of suffrage resulted in a group of influential women joining the suffrage ranks before the echoes of his speech had died on the legislative air; of how the suffrage leaders made him the laughing stock of the community by publicly asking him for a copy of his speech for use as a swift maker of suffrage advocates: All this was sent comicbooks.com | | | | | | | | | | | direct that it thousa mediut were Ui of any HE $0 have | for th has be vague hearer tree th Dor protes bifure, wear, agains the m face t] But sanita ing sk progre what t is com Anc pared woma the sh turn | face ¢ anyth wome the ri to vo wond Ontar makin wome that « they pocke makir recog! ing it longe: A’ mates Speak scann and s Bui went again becau wome tents: A St Bitters Abbott
