The United States had 1,000,000 divorces in the past ten years. Two-thirds of these were granted upon the demand of the wife. The women’s federated clubs of America claim 5.000 branches, organized in forty-six states, with an aggregate membership of 800,000 women. The lack of direct political influence consti- tutes a powerful reason why women's waxes have been kept ata minimum.—Carroll D. Wright, Ex-Commissioner of Lubor. . where women vote, the child of a poor, widowed mother, instead of being taken from her and placed in an institution, is boarded with its mother, at the expense of the stat In Austr: The number of boys in the high schools of the country in 1905-6 was 305.308; of girls, 417.384. Yet there are those who say “that the ballot for wonien would but increase the ignorant vote" According 10 an Ohio report for 1901, 6,920 women in the three largest cities earned $4.83 a week, worked 57 1-2 hours, paid $2.44 for 1,000 persons depending on them for support.

GILBERT 637 Rallv.ay Exchange, CHICAGO, ILL. in recently won a suit inst a street railway company for injuries re- ceived in an accident. In addition her husband received $400 for the loss of her time and serv- ice. A wife is pretty valuable “ property” in the eyes of the law. Wifehood and motherhood subject more women to invalidism and death cach year than soldiers have been subjected to during the combined wars of 130 years. Since the mother bears the brunt of keeping the race alive, and the soldier only protects property, why not pension the mother and let the soldier “hoe his own row"? In the majority of states a minor child has but one parent, its father, according to law. A bill has been introduced in the legislature of Cali- fornia to make both parents equal guardians of the child. In Massachusetts it took over half a century to secure this measure. In Colorado it was secured two years after the women were en- franchised. Full suffrage was granted to the women of Wyoming in 1869. During the twenty years from 1870 to 1890, divorce in the United States increased about three times as fast as the population. In the group of Western. states, tting Wyoming, it increased nearly four times as fast_as the population. In Wyoming it in- creased only about half as fast as the popula- tion. Those who are looking for a cure for di- vorce would do well to consider woman's suf- frage.—The Progressive Woman.
