Mrs. S. R. Krom OF Plainfeld, N. J.,
who has been active in the movement
for school suffrage for women, rendered
a valuable service last year by compil
ing careful statistics of the number of
women voting at school elections and
serving on school boards in each county
OF New Jersey. She thinks equal suf-
frago would "raise'the moral tone of the
whole country, especially rs regards the
liquor traffic and the prevention of tho
regulation of vice. The Newark; Daily
Advertiser recalls in this connection
that 1t was owing entirely to the untir-
ing efforts of the women of Now Jersey
that the age of protection for girls was
raised from 10 to 10 years.

Want the Law Resoinded.

Women nre not allowed to form polit-
ical societies in Germany, and as tho
police have tho power of determining
what political society is they may NJ
any moment dissolve woman's organ
lzation on TINT plea. At the next SEES
sion of tho reichstag Baroness Won
Gizycki hopes to present petition
praying that the law be rescinded, and
over 10. 600 signatures of women have
already been received. IN the meantime
oil suffrage work must be effected by

She and Frau Caver arc editing new

Ex-Governor Long has we'll said that
the argument against woman suffrage
is like bag Of feathers. Won may pum-
mel it all day, and it remains bag Of
feathers still There is no sohdity i'll it,
yet you can make no impression upon
it. The method of argument used by
the average opponent of equal rights
he says, is identical with that of james
ii us described by Maoaulny. 1t was the
habit of King james, he says, to make
some entirely upfounded assertion, and
after his councillors had respectfully
demonstrated that it was not true to
assert 1t again in exactly tho Same
words. tits no wonder that monarch
so lmpcrvious to reason had finally to
be dethroned.
