WOMEN FOR ALDERMEN.
The presence of women members in the
council chambers OF American cities may
not be so far of as II looks. The suffra-
gists are struggling 10 open the door
from the outside, while all unknown 10
them forces are at work which may
thrust IL open from within before they
know IT, and they fall in on their faces.

delighted.
The events which are thus helping them
are way over i'm London, but no matter

"A revolution as could well be imagined
might be worked in the process of con-
Quoting the city's affairs. Had women TO
be reckoned with, the lobbyists of cor
porations who are trying TO get from the
cities valuable franchises would probably
meet with disaster. In the present state OF
municipal politics throughout the coun-

the better.
