Uniformed Company of Two Dozen
Knights Of the Wheel Take the Front
Seats at the SECOND Baptist Church.


Seats at the Second Baptist Church.
A company of black-uniformed bicy-
clers from Chester occupied the front
seats at the Second Baptist Church last
Sunday morning.
The clubmen say they believe in that
kind of Christianity that allows sinners
of their stamp into the church. They
were delighted with the kindness and
courtesies extended them. The incident
has made very good impression in
many directions.
One Of them was heard 10 remark,
swell, we always did suppose that the
churches were for the sinners, that is If
We belong to that crowd, just as much
as for the righteous.
MIR. Meeser was heard to make the
remark, after service, that no doubt the
mornings beautiful weather did the
young men a great deal of good, their
physical condition was improved by the
exercise, and his, the pastors, idea was
to supplement, as far as the services OF
the church could, the advantage BY
doing their souls good also.
The church was crowded, there being
hardly standing room anywhere, bul
the bicyclers were escorted to the front
seats facing the preacher.

there is no doubt that the society wom-
en-, all the old time agitators and many
of the professional and business women
are aroused upon the subject, but the
feeling in favor of political equality is
still very feeble among the home women
of the middle class the wives and
sisters and daughters Of men in the re-
ceipt of incomes of from $500 to So, 900
a year. I do not mean to say that no
women of the class indicated are inter-
ested, but that the majority are not
there is no doubt whatever. Granting
this, it is clear that the women of New
York as a whole are not yet asking for
the suffrage.
eve are well aware said a young
woman in charge for the day at Sherry's
recently, ''that the middle class women
are not yet aroused, but they will be, I
am sure. We have had SO much to do in
getting our petitions out among those
whom we personally know that we have
not yet had time to go to those with
whom we are not acquainted. But if
you observe the men who come in here
to sign you will see that they do not all
look as if they were rich, and if the
middle class men, financially speaking,
come out for equal political rights their
wives and daughters will too Is it he
retical for me to say that the women will
be guided by the men in this matter?
Well, it's true any way, and it couldn't
be otherwise. We have always followed
the lead of men in political and econ
omic thought-most of us-and if we
get citizenship now because many of US
are led by the men it's all right. We
don't care about that. What we want
is the citizenship.
81 have not thought very long on this
matter / don't know the history of the
so called 'woman's rights movement at
all well or the names of its pioneers.
But my papa used always when he
was alive to see that I kept pretty well
informed ON the political events of the
day, and my mamma has always be-
ieved women were as well qualified to
exercise the powers of citizenship as the
men, and some women, she thinks, are
a great deal better qualified than some
men. L agree with her in this and so do
most of the girls and women know.
One thing is certain. We shall not do as
so many men we know have dOne-stay
away from the polls year after year.
We know that ignorant women, and
frivolous women, and bad women will
have the power to vote as well as we,
and / believe that when equality comes
the great many good, pure women who
may not now favor the suffrage will see
the situation as it is and vote because
they will feel it their duty to counter
act the votes of the ignorant and the
vicious, just as the intelligent and good
men should now.

year exerted in a different direction
from that of former years 1t is proposed
TO induce the constitutional convention,
TO be held according to the provisions
of the organic law of the state in May,
TO prepare an amendment to the con-
stitution eliminating the word ''male''
from that document. Once that little
word is left out the rest will be a mere
matter of detail, but even if the effort
be successful before the convention the
campaign is not more than begun, for
the deliverance of a constitutional con-
vention upon any subject may only con-
sist of a resolution to submit the pro-
posed change in the form of question
to the people at the next regular cleo
ton, and this has to be done twice. It
will be two or three years, therefore, be-
fore the preliminary stage will be
passed and the essential details of the
change Will be taken up.
The conversion of the society women
to the advanced way of thinking was,
so far as the public knows, a rather sud-
den thing but there is little doubt that
unless the growth of this feeling suffers
an unlocked for setback the women will
eventually, if not this time, win for
themselves the prize they SO earnestly
desire. One thing that makes for this
conclusion is the fact that, although
there are some who fight the proposition
with all the earnestness of former years,
the period of fighting the movement
solely by ridicule seems to have prac-
tically passed away.
The chief difference between the pres
ent methods and those of the past, aside
from the entry of the society women
upon the field and the assault being
upon the constitutional convention in
stead of the Legislature, lies in the meet
ings- Instead of public gatherings at
tended by thousands and open to all,
meetings have been held in the parlors
of some of the most exclusive houses,
and no one has been present except by
invitation The speakers indeed have
often been women identified with the
suffrage movement for years, but other
wise the old time agitator has not been
much in evidence, and the speaker even
has often been a society woman or a
professional or business woman whose
interest in the matter is of recent growth
and due to the belief that without the
same political privileges and response
bilities as are accorded to men she has
not the same opportunities for success
