would take lifetime: and no one engaged in or
binary pursuits can hope TO accomplish it, But
the knowledge OF question involving such fate
full issues should not be left wholly to the body
polite. The rudiments of civil government should
have place In the publc-schoo curriculum Had
some of the mental force wasted by pupils In
learning 10 bound all the counties in the state,
spell their different names and become familiar
with every railroad that passes through them.
and TO fix in their Juvenile memories the locality
of some insignificant river or hamlet In Cochin
China been expended in learning the rudments
of civil government and the laws which involve
the continued existence OF our Republic. 1t would
not be difficult task for the average American
10 solve the problems Of bimetallism.
These are only beginning of the reasons why

THE DOOR NOT OPENED YET
Then. just a few steps up the hill. to No. IL
Greene-ave. where Mrs DR.. Brockway lives Mrs.
Brockway shrugged her shoulders when asked to
name the man she would like for President.
But | am not a voter. and consequently my

ReDublican party has promised mucn Tor women,

FACT SUGGESTIVE OF FREEDOM.
Mrs. James scrimgeour president Of the Wom-
ems Health Protective Association, said: "What
nan would like to see the next President Oh
the United States? Mckinley Why? A wom-
ans reasons for choice in this matter must 70
a large degree take her out Of the realm OK IN
dependent thought, and therefore Trey VIII pe
the product OF the opinion of men whom she
respects and in whose judgment she mas con-
fidence. The great result ho2ed lor III 'he III
Administration Is a re-establishmcnt OF Il PoiiC!
which will secure a return Of financial prosperity;
7 read all sides and while am not always iouhd
vi
terest. / must confess that am on tbs SIDE IN
the present campaign. Every day see Hooking
to the Mckinley standard those who. know.
stand for the highest and best welfare OF tne
country and this Is q fact not limited In signn-
cree but suggestive Of a freedom from the
dominant control Of those who would even shape
the affairs of a whole country solely with view
to minister 20 their own personal aggrandize-
ment.
MRS s. " WHITES VIEWS
"I want patriot for President. rot a partisan.
I want no ringleader for anything. l want no
one who is dominated by rings.
ct am a Republican, want a Republican Pres
ident Mckinley. Allison or Reed.
PLENTY of good Republicans In the party ana
trust one Of them will be elected
HE NEEDS NO APOLOGY.
Mrs Cornelia X. Hood, president of the Brook
lvn Woman's Suffrage Association said i am
| fe]low-townsman of McKinley-or we came
from the same county. almost the same town.
Tho towns are now connected by a trolley. Then
they were Eot-Canton and Maseillon. ONO l
| srould like TO see him elected because ! THINK
| he is in every way a substantial man. OF souho
! learning and faithful to his principles Mchlh-
| lev is a good, clean man, tender ana courteous,
as we'll as faithful and attentive to his Invalid
Wife. n man for whom the Nation need make no
! apology
GOOD INFLUENCE OF WOMEN'S CLUBS
Mrs ]. Perry. president of the Urban Club,
and vice-presdent of the Women's Health Pro-
| tactjve Association. would incline to Governor
Morton az first choice. but thinks Mckinley
| and Morton can both be trusted IN the hrst
| nosi,ion that our country can give. with refer-
ence to a womans opinion on the suolect OF po.,,
! tics Mrs Perry did not think that the present
| condition of affairs tended to make that OPINION
| of any great value. "As a general thing IN TINS
! matter a woman would think as her husDand
| thought Differences Of opinion exist, or are
more apt 10 exist the subject OF rensioh o,
any other matter where the woman enjoys equa'
privileges with man. / have been for num-
Der OF years connected with the Womans SUI.
| frage Association Of Brooklyn, and MINK .ha'
| while most OF the members MAINTAIN mat there
| are many places that woman can MI quite as
| well as a man. the general hope ana ann anu
/ work Of the association is to make everything
| that Il has any contact with or influence upon
! better and purer. The city officials ADMIT the
| influence and power OF the womens clubs Inere
| need be no reason why pure woman shouiu no'
go to the polls and vote. carrying all her purity
| and womanly feelings with her In this work OF
! advancement, as in any other. TO my Hlho
| there are at present athletic exercises In when
women engage In comparison with which COINS
TO the polls to vote Is the refinement OF modesty
81 do not think that Mckinley need be doubted
on the financial question. | think both he and
| Governor Morton are sound on that point. But
as I said to you before, until women raised
TO the place In politics where they on full
equality with men, their opinions be Of ne
great value.
SHE FAvoRs REED.
Mrs. James f. Whitney president OF the Cos
mos Club. has high opinion Of Mr.. Reed. III
were to say he is a gentleman. you would think
that an effeminate reason. But by that word
