Of New York. Among other measures
it advocates for all workers state in
surance against accident, sickness and
old age, public ownership of all means
Of transportation and. finally, equal
suffrage for both sexes. Last year the
platform Of the American Socialists
contained this same broad suffrage
plank. II was genuine surprise To
me few days after reading the Ameri
can Socialists statement of doctrine to
see an announcement of the aims of ,ne
reform party of Japan. 1t is u party
rapidly growing in power Japs never
do anything by halves when the light
once breaks in OH them. The pro-
gramme of the Japanese reform party
calls for increase of pay and reduction
OF labor hours for the working classes
! aud demands the abolshment of titular
| distinctions ut the very time when
| American women are selling them
| selves soul and body to get handle to
their names. The Jap party of progress
proclaims opposition to all monopolles
and like the American Socialist party,
demands universal male and female
suffrage. What do you think Of thaty

for the little women Of Japan are only
beginning TO awaken from their sleep
OF 1900 years. Even China now has
daily paper published for women in
Peking. and 1t Is we'll sustained. Twice
the experiment has been made In this
country of establishing a daily paper
in which women's interests We're large

with all her alleged enlightenment?

amused, at an announcement of the
meeting of the national divorce con
gress at Washington The delegates
hail from every state in the Union ANA
consist largely of judges lawyers and
dlyfnes. There Is no mention of q soil

would conclude from this that women

London has & new idea quite ahead

Take note. A Philadelphia journal |
sent II reporter to interview man !
more than "A century old and ask him ,
how he had managed TO keep alive and !
sound so long. "By perseverance, re

Mrs. James Young writes, ''rhere are
no selfish obligations in friendship, ana !,

OF all the women | have heard of |
think envy most those who have be-
come licensed guides in the Maine
woods. Among them is Mrs. Jennie
Freese, d mighty hunter, skilled in all
woodcraft. A woman ought TO live and
be well forever who leads the free life
in the woods. So many women now
go on long hunting and camping trips
that 1t has brought about the evolution
of the woman forest guide.

In recent address before the League
of American municipalities in the Au-
ditorium hotel, Chicago, Dr. Kohnke
said If we give woman Il vote In
municipal affairs we largely would be
saved froE the nomination of candi-
dates OF bad morals. Women viii not
vote for men of bad character, even II
they are handsome"
