WOMEN IN CONGRESS-.
Senator PETER Interviewed on the Subject
at Washington.

Senator PETER Interviewed on the Subject
at Washington.
WASHINGTON, Jan. "a cores pondent
has been Intervening the senators about
women being sent to congress. Senator
PETER of Kansas. the leader of the Popu-
lists in the senate, who has made some
study of the subject in his own state
and who doubtless expects to have a
woman colleague one of these days, has
this to say:
81 think that eventually in every civil
lied country woman will take part in
politics. The movement has begun in
the United States. Things are changing
rapidly, and Kansas, you know, is always
first in every good work. Our people are
strongly in favor of political equality.
We believe that women are as much en-
titled to political rights as they are to
civil rights.
come to congress, do you? We have
some women in Kansas who are more
capable of legislating for this country
than some of the men there that | know
The situation may change in very
short time, so that we may soon have d
woman representative in congress from
Kansas.
LAS to separate apartments, | do not
see why we should have different COM
mIttoo rooms w omen zine together
with men, congregate in public
and private with them, and in
fact are in every place where
men ought to be. They will be admitted
to banquets one of these days. Men and
women dine together at hotels, meet to-
gether in Hobbies and reception rooms,
and ! do not see why they should not as
sociate together in committee rooms. We
have mixed schools, and in the churches
the two sexes intermingle freely.
THE presence of women in congress
would improve it. for in this way you
would get more of the home influence in
public life. In this way our political
life would be purified, and the general
effect of woman'a entrance into the nat
ional legislature would be good"
