In so far as Russia Is concerned The
Hague peace convention was a brilliant
stroke on the part Of Gar Nicholas.
AS the Chinese say, it provided Russia
with a chance to save face" She has
protested all along that the war with
Japan was thrust upon her and that
she went all reasonable lengths to pre-
serve the peace. OF course she is not
ready to take up a quarrel with John
Bull, but 1t would be awkward to have
to admit that little Jap has brought
to dire straits In the course of ten
months a power that once humbled the
great Napoleon and for more than two
years withstood Napoleon III. and his
English ally in the Crimea. The Hague
is a way out of an awkward dilemma.
The car is for peace-peace when war
would spell ruin for him. And to give
him the benefit Of a doubt he is stand
ing firmly upon the noble profession
he made in 1898, when moving that ar
bitration take the place of gunpowder.

Womah's Persistent Progfessa
While the predictions loudly voiced
In a bygone generation as to woman's
destiny In this republic have not been
realized, a long step has been made in
that direction, and that, too, in a man
ner perhaps unappreciated by the
mass, whether friends or opponents Of
the new woman" movement. The
Woman's Press club of New York has
issued a memorial volume in honor Of
its founder, Jane Cunningham CroIy,
who was also the founder Of Sorosis.
Sorosis was the pioneer woman's club.
alive in comparison with some fea-
lures of the "woman's rights" pro-
gramme at the time Of its inception.
The point is that woman, being de-
MED, for whatever reason, from afilia-
ton with men in the social sphere,
launched her bark on independent wa
tiers, virtually saying to the opposite
sex, eff We cannot crowd with you
we will crowd by ourselves" The one
woman's club of America was the
grain of mustard seed that has devel-
oped into clubs without number now
representing a membership Of about
100000. But it is not alone the organ
lied club membership that indicates
the extent of the movement. The in
fuence is apparent in every field where
woman is a participant. In church as
sociations, in labor unions, in literary
societies, ONE share the duties and
privileges with the men and are there
a distinct force, giving play to the
characteristics Of the ex. Judging
from the advance made since Mrs.
Croly's beginning, it seems probable,
if not inevitable, that woman will ar
rive at a position of equal influence
with men in all civic affairs, and that
without a direct claim for the ballot.
Man has virtually declared woman a
being radically different in intellectual
and moral makeup from himself, and,
while not inclined to admit it, woman
has gone ahead in the isolation assign
ed and by concentration and organiza-
ton constituted a separate and indi-
vidual force in the community. Her
voice is heard even where she has not
the ballot, and her special needs will
demand and receive room for express
sion. Woman's clubs, woman's COL
leges and literature addressed to wom-
an tend to emphasize the distinction of
sex. Yet in the highest sense civiliza-
ton must cease to admit that the dis
tinction forms a bar to privileges or an
exemption from duties. Thus as a pre-
rogative incidental to universal devel-
opment universal suffrage may become
a necessity of the future. Woman will
preach from the feminine viewpoint
and practice according to the feminine
nature. At the ballot box the two
forces, feminine and masculine, might
be fused into one and make for the
common welfare.

WOMEN AND THE BALLOT
Reasons Why Suffrage Should Not BE Cs5

Reasons Why Suffrage Should Not BE Coz
lined to Male Citizens.
/ notice in the Independent Of Bag
30 an article against female suffrage gy
Henry T. Finck.
1t thus briefly states Mr.. F1nck or
~Jections to female suffrage: "Tir
none OF the women need it; secgut
most Of them do not want it; thi d. III
they got 1t much more harm than good
would result to themselves and ott
Permit me briefly to answer tns-e
three objections to female suffrag
Ffrst.-Man needs suffrage in order
to secure good laws. Woman needs
good laws as much as man and there
fore needs the right Of suffrage 70 the
same reason that man needs it.
Second.-How does Mr.. Finck Iaor
that most of them do not want 30:
Has he consulted the many million ~
female citizens of the United STATE
and a~scertained from them individrs
ly that the majority of them do l
want the right of suffrage2
Let us suppose that the majoritv We
the male voters do not want the right
OF suffrage, as being c~onsiderab-a
trouble to attend to 1t property. Wcu'4
that be a valid reason why the mine
ity should be deprived Of the rigIt
suffrage :? Why apply this rule t. fs-
male citizens only. when equally apDli-
cable to male citizens? Females a-r
citizens of the United States, equal
with males, as being born under enc
same Jurisdiction and subject to tb1
same laws, and therefore by the late
Amendment of the Constitution, emit
tied to all the rights and privilege ~
American citizenship.
Third.-How does Mr.. Finck know
that If they got it much more ham
than good would result to themselge
and others? Has 1t so resulted in some
OF u Western States that have h-
the good, practical sense to adopt Co
male suffrage?
He makes assertions with no atteuV

Shows VS.. Proof.

That single Tom Watson voter in
South Carolina has company, a single
voter in Maryland also depositing his
ballot for the Populist statesman. AS
there were nine Watson candidates fol
elector in South Carolina and eight in
Maryland this shows that fifteen OF
Toms own electoral candidates either
voted against him or did not vote at all
Sunbeam.
1t may have been possible that only
n vote was cast in each Of these states
for Tom Watson, when hundreds were
cast in other states, but it is more than
probable that hundreds were cast fol-
him, but never counted, report
ed or never published. One does moi
have to go outside of Salem county tC
see that all the votes for Tom Watson
were not published in some local pap.
ers.
There was once a state convention
and five Salem county delegates an.
nounced their votes for certain candi
dates, but the chairman who polled the
vote announced a single one Of
the five votes. That beats South Caro-.
lima and Maryland and shows that five
men were present and never vot
ed-or changed their minds.

Experience shows that equal suffrage
-or women is usually attainab1e only
by gradual approaches. In the Rocky
Mountain States, where women are in
a minority and as a consequence more
highly priced, where class distinctions
are almost unknown, and where a gen.
eral equality of conditions prevails,
full suffrage has been attained under
favorable conditions. In California,
Oregon, and South Dakota, at recent
referendums, a majority Of men outside
of cities have voted in its favor. but
adverse majorities in each case were
given by the cities-San Francisco and
Oakland. Portland, Yankton, and Sioux
Falls-these centres of population
turned the scale against it, while the
farming population voted in favor.
This shows the Importance Of early ac-
ton by ~suffragists in agricultural COM
munities. before the growth of manu-
features brings with it a debased slum
population manipulated by the saloons.
But even in sparsely populated
States there has to be- a period of pre-
paration. In Colorado, while still a
Territory, Governor Pope and others
urged the extension of suffrage to wo-
men, and John B. Campbell and Mar
garet Campbell spent a year in pioneer
effort. School suffrage was granted to
women in the State constitution of
1876. with a provision for subsequent
further extension. But in 1877 a full
woman suffrage amendment was voted
down, and 1t was not until sixteen
years later that it secured a popular
majority.
In Wyoming Territory, in 1869, the
Legislature extended full suffrage to
women, and subsequent experience so
endeared it to the people that it has
been forever confirmed without opposi-
ton in the State constitution.
In Utah Territory, in 1869, full suf-
frage was granted to women as a pro-
lection to the resident farming popula-
ton against an influx Of gold MINERS
and railroad hands-men without fam
lilies. Experience recommended it, and
although temporarily disallowed by
Congress, 1t was restored when the
men formed It's State constitution. In
both these States It was 6rst srantad
The Penn's Grove record., 1905-01-06

by Territorial Legislatures, and grew
with the growth of these Communities.
In Idaho school suffrage in the Ter
r1tory preceded full suffrage in tbe
State.
In Wisconsin and Minnesota martial
suffrage has been conferred bv constI-
tutional amendments; in Montana and
Louisiana, by constitutional conven-
lions. In Kansas municipal suffrage
was established by the Legislature In
some fifteen other States and Terri
tories school suffrage has been TINS "a.
tablished.
But in every case the exercise of suf-
frage by ome has been Preceded by
legislative reforms In the personal and
property rights of married women. In
deed, it seems hardly possible that full
woman suffrage can exist in States
where the old English common law of
marriage remains unchanged. Until
women are to some extent Protected in
their personal and property rights and
In their right to money earnle by them
outside of the home, political equality
would seem incongruous with absolute
domestic subsection.
But fifty years experience shows that
under d1f1cult social and political con-
dlt1ons dlfferent methods are needful.
taxpaylng and educational qualifica-
IONS are indispensable in some locali.
ties; municipal or presidential suffrage
IN others. Nowhere should full suffrage
be submitted to the voters in any
States until partial suffrage, has first
been granted by the Legislature and
has recommended itself to public ap-
proval. so that there is a reasonable
probability Of a popular veIdict In its
favor.-Henry B. Blackwell.
