WOMEN AND POLITICS.
Why Those In America Seem Indif-

No doubt the mass OF American
women are indifferent to the cause of
equal suffrage. II they were not they
would have acquired the right to vote
long ago But it is not true that they
are indifferent TO politics in the sense
that they neglect political questions
in which they are directly concerned.
For the most part men are active or
indifferent for precisely the same rea-
sons.
Bat given state of politics In
which questions of public morality are
uppermost-thc purity of the home.
tho welfare of workingmen and woln-
IN in their homes and at work, the
duty OF the State to the weak. tho
roor and the dcpendcnt--and women
hear their full share of the burden
in movements for social reform. They
have proved it repeatedly-for in
stance. In this city-and they are
proving it every day in special lines
OF effort.
Probably the principal reason why
American women seem to tho Eng
fish woman snffragist TO care less for
politics than do her sisters at home
is that they have freedom in their
daily home and business occupations
which English women have not at
tanned. Their privileges are so agree.
ablc that they have less cause TO com
plain about the denial of political
rights. Another reason why tho
American equal suffragist does not
initiate the English suffragettcs IN

the magistrates courts is thai the

precision the appeal which Miss Win

from the platform Of the Society for
Political Study for public interest in

Miss Holt. who is the secretary OF

Blind. based her plea on the fact that
tho blind car work and want to work.
The need of training as we'll as the

ate need of funds. The ambition of
