The New Woman Question.

There have been sarcastic remarks
made by men from time to time con-
corning the new" woman, expressing
their fear lest she should drive out the
"old" woman and all her womanliness,
but their fears are as nothing to those
Of the new w oman herself. With her the
dread of new womanliness is almost
terror.
There has been some doubt as to
whether there was such a person as the
new woman. There has been a wonder
full change in the conditions of women
within it is difficult to tell just how
many years, and it has seemed neces-
sary for them to 60 out in the world to
fight for themselves, and as we are all
very much creatures of environment it
can't but have made great difference
in the character of the woman who Is
making a way for herself. She may be
even a better wife. mother and sister
the Spartan women were all that was
desired in that line at the time they
liyed-but if womanliness consists in
dependence and clingativeness, it is
| retty certain that the new woman does
not possess these traits as did the old
woman. But she will not admit it. -
1t is pitiful or humorous, whichever
way the reader looks at it, to see the
disavowment of every woman who has
done enough in the world to bring her
into print of new woman qualities.

deal of talk OF course the students
found out she and Mrs. Davis had had
trouble. and some sided with one and
others held opposite views. There were
no fistic combats, but it got SO that the
boarders glared ut each other so hard
across the table that they would choke
over their food. Mrs. Davis tried to
patch up a peace. She tried harder than
ever to make her food tempting, but
pumpkin pie and cottage pudding. and
even tho fact that she had chicken
twice q week instead of once failed to
lessen the friction.
What the result would have been is
only q matter Of conjecture, but one
morning some of the faithful, as Miss
DeGne's constituents We're known, held
O meeting. No one knew the object
when he entered the room, but Miss
Deane was there, and she explained it.
She told them she could start a restau-
rant if they would all take so much
stock TIE amount from each would be
small and the students would be seour-
cd from loss because they could eat up
their stock if they desired.
Miss Deane is to be manager, and ii
she is as gcCd a proprietor as she is
talker she will be rich in few months.
She showed the boys how she would put
aside so many dollars each week for the
reserve fund. This would be put at in.

Progress of Woman Suffrage.

Women have secured equal political
rights with men in Wyoming since
1869, in Colorado since 1893, in Utah
since 1896 and in Idaho since 1897.
Sixty years ago women could not vote
anywhere. In 1915 Kentucky gave
school suffrage to widows In 1861
Kansas gave it to all women. In 1869
England gave municipal suffrage TO sim
gle women and widows and Wyoming
gave full suffrage to all women. School
suffrage was granted in 1875 by Micbl-
gan and Minnesota, in 1879 by Colorado,
in 1878 by New Hampshire and Oregon,
in 1879 by Massachusetts and ID 1880 by
New York and Vermont. In 1881 Inu-
nicipal suffrage was extended to the SIN
Gle women and widows of Scotland. Ne
braska gave school suffrage in 1883 and
Wisconsin in 1855. In 1886 school SUI
frage was given in Washington and
municipal suffrage to single wCnle en- and
widows in New Brunswick and Ontario.
In 1887 municipal suffrage was ex-
tended to all women in Kansas and
school suffrage in North and South Da-
kota, Montana, Arizona and New Jer-
sey. In the same year Montana also
gave taxpaying women a vote on all
questions submitted to taxpayers. Ia
1891 school suffrage was granted IN
Illinois. In 1892 municipal suffrage was
extended to single women and widows
in the province Of Quebec. In 1893
school suffrage was granted in Connect
icut and full suffrage in Colorado and
New Zealand. In 1894 school sutfra &c
| was granted in Ohio, a limited munich
| pal suffrage in Iowa and parish and
| district suffrage in England to women
both married and single. In 1895 full
suffrage was granted i'll Australia to
| women both married and single. In
1896 full suffrage was esta blished by
Utah and Idaho In 1897 equal sufIraGe
amendments were submitted in North

Spokane's Steno.rapher.

Mrs. Rose Denny is the official stenog-
rapher of the city Of Spokane, Wash.
She receives 800 a month, and proba bly,
no employee of the city or county so

ny, says the Spokane Chronicle. Her
experience in the Office makes her serv-
ices invaluable to the municipality. In
1896 she revised the municipal code of
Spokane, indexipg it and putting it for
the first time in such shape that it be-
came valuable TO the attorneys as well
as to others. The work was undoubted-
ly worth 50, 600, but Mrs. Denny did it

I cannot conceive Of anything that
women could do in the future that
would shock the public now as the
things they actually are doing would
have shocked the public of 80, 20 or
even 10 years ago. Women attend the
business meetings of corporations, and
in some cases. notably small manufac-
turing or business concerns, if they have
a large amount of money invested. they
serve as directors, even as president and
treasurer They vote on school matters
in the majority of tie states. They have
full suffrage ia Wyoming, Utah, Colo
RADIO and Idaho and municipal suffrage
in Kansas Even in states where they
do not vote women are frequently seen
at the polls, notably members OF the w.
&. T. T., who go for the purpose OF dis
tributing ballots or providing coffee IN
the interest of temperance.
We see the same changes in social
life. Years ago mans club was the
one spot where q woman could not set
her foot. 1t was generally supposed that
the moral tone Of the place was such
that she would not wish to go there II
she could Customs have changed so
much that women not only visit the
club on ladies nights, but they are
actually invited to the restaurant on or
binary days. Almost all the newer

accomm odations than any hotel. Some

THE atrocious murder of the Empress
of Austria will greatly intensity the
worlds horror of the diabolism of an
archism. The assassin could not have
found a more inofensive nor better
loved victim among the crowned heads
of Europe. The Empress Elizabeth
had led a blameless life, full of good
deeds to her people, individually and
collectively. Much as the Hungarians,
Germans and Bohemians might fight
among themselves, they united in ador-
ing her. Apparently all that has kept
them together fer years has been loyalty
and affection for her husband and her
self The assassination was so brutal,
revolving, and purposeless as to greatly
incense the whole world against the sheer
wickedness of anarchy.

COMMISSIONER EvANS'S REPLY.

Commissioner Evans's reply to the
just complaint against him by the Ma
tional Encampment of the Grand Army
of the Republic is to reduce the number
of original allowances this week to the
astounding figure of 341, the lowest OF
any time since the passage of the act of
June 81, 1890. Possibly Mr.. Evans
motive in this is to show his official in
dependence, and Indifference to, if not
actual contempt for, !" outside influence"
even when exeried by so eminently no
table body as the National Encamp-
ment of the Grand Army Of the Re-
public. We have to discuss this
remarkable exhibition more in deep
sorrow than in anger. Sorrow for the
old, feeble, prematurely- broken, long
suffering, long waiting, often-denied,
hundreds of thousands of men and
women, overwhelms every other emo
ton. With confession that there are
fully 100000 survivors of the war of
the rebellion still without the pensions
which the laws give them; with further
admission that at least $4,000 of them
are anxious applicants for the relief
which is their due, with the full knowl-
edge that every one Of these men has
now passed the meridian Of life, when
the physical disabilities he incurred in
the service of bis country now choke his
waning lowers with tyrant's grip,
with a clerical force at his command
exceeding the strength Of a good-sizcd
brigade in wartime=, with this enormous
clerical force maintained at high sala-
ries for the express purpose of settling
these just claims, the Commissioner has
the hardihood to come before the public
with a statement of only 341 original
cases allowed in week Of six working
days. At this rate it would take him
nearly five years to allow only the 75,-
600 claims which he says are from men
who have as yet received nothing.
1t seems as if the mere statement of
this astounding fact is all the comment
that it requires.

IL spite Of all her official disclaimers,
Germany continues manuvers which are
very disturbing. She has been secretly
massing force Of warships south of
the island Of Palawan, which is most
important position, since it forms one
side Of the narrow gateway through
which passes all the commerce of
Australia with China. This makes il
second in importance only to the island
of Luzon, and it looks as if Germany
either had a secret understanding with
Spain, or was contemplating selling the
island without any pretext. This helps
explain why couple Of battleships are
being gotten ready with all haste to
Iush over to Dewey, and achievements
are being sent to Gen. Otis. When the

THIS is the absurd explanation that
Com missioner Evans has given the
Associated Press, through the medium
of ga friend" of the action of the Ma
tional Encampment:
He has zealously guarded the interests Of
the Old soldier This has brought on him
the condemnation of certain pension agents,
but his record is too clean TO suffer by reason
OF their vituperation. One would imagine
from the resolution passed that Mr. Evans
had done his utmost to embarrass the pension
applicant Every honest claimant knows
that is not true. With marked fidelity he
has done his utmost TO carry out the law and
award to the legitimate claimant the pension
his country provided.
He has criticised, and very justly too, the
methods OF, some p nsion attorneys, and, as
the majority of these are old soldie rs and in
the Grand Army Of the Republic, they have
taken this opportunity to seek revenge.
Again that old cry about the bad
pension attorneys. If he knows any of
those wicked creatures why don't he
shut them up in the pententiary? He
has ample power to.
