THE MODERN WOMAN Suffrage Facts and Fancies Ny ANNA CADOGAN ETZ Interest Shifts from Clothes to Deeds HE appearance of Jeannette Rankin in the House of Representatives raised an issue in the press world quite as vital in a small way as the issue raised by the subma- rine in the field of international law. The minute the Lady from Montana bloomed upon their sight the congressional reporters knew what they were up against and screamed for help to some near-by female comrade of the pen. Hide bound custom in the press world demanded that Jeannette Rankin’s clothes be described and the type of men who win out as congressional reporters are the last type to know how or be willing to learn. They can’t and they won't. As long as a woman did nothing in public sive wear clothes, her clothes, perforce, had to be described. But a woman congressman offers other and richer material to the pen of the reporter. It is as plain as the nose on the face that when Jeannette Rankin put her foot through the door of the House of Representa- tives she also put her foot through an ancient and honorable tradition of the press grown |) ridiculous in a modern world. | The bells rang and the whistles blew all ove the country when Congress met. The racket | of rejoicing was not over the fact that an out- |} grown custom was receiving its death blow. |) But it might well have been. It was worth he Big Enough to Do Better ANIA, great big Pennsylvania, is figuring in suffrage circles much like an) overgrown boy ina primary grade school. The suffragists of the state are rubbing it into the state government that it ought to be ashamed of itself to stand in a class with eleven southern states and little Rhode Island that hasn't given even a crumb of suffrage to women. Of course Maine hasn’t either, but then Maine has re- pented of her niggardliness or at any rate she has voted for a referendum. Just when Pennsylvania was feeling chesty over the amount of war materials she could furnish to back up the country’s flag on the high seas, for her native daughters to take to throwing spuds showed that suffragists have yet to learn to temper justice with mer Of course the facts are indisputable, but why | rub it in? Why not also remember that in 1915 Pennsylvania came a whole lot nearer giving full suffrage to women than any of the three neighboring states that had for years beea doling out little picces of the political pie t the women who came asking to share and share alike with men? é Winter in the Lap of Spring LL in a whiff it was learned that Russt when she said “universal suffrage” meaat to include women, and that in the House ¢ Commons the government would be satisfe! with nothing short of votes for women . - and that the Senate of Massachusetts hed gravely passed a resolution asking the Suprem (Continued on second page foltercing) comicbooks.com
