We Must Reckon with the womer


1T is. OF. course. apparent. however
Iunwelcome the fact may be, that
from now on women will, always have
to be reckoned with politically"
writes Olivia Howard Dunbar, in
"The Worlds Half Citizens" in the
March Everybody's. "In our own
country this particular line of adj
vance has, probably been slowest.
This is because American men are in
|corrigibly romantic, even sentiment
tai, and in the very face of multi
tudes % women workers still cling
desperately to the bric-a-brac ideal
of womanhood. 1t has nevertheless
come about that women now enjoy
full political rights in four States:
Wyoming, Colorado, Idaho, and Utah.
In Kansas they have the privilege Of
municipal suffrage. Seventeen States
allow women to vote at elections for
school. officers. and IN Montana, To-
wa, Louisiana, and New York women
have taxpaying suffrage. The further
extension of these privileges is re-
garded as inevitable. 1t is natural
that spirited attempts should nave
been made to show that women do
not make adequate or wise use of
their political power. but this cannot
be said to have been proved. They
cannot at least be reproached vita
allowing the men Of their families
to dictate their votes. Whether
wisely or not, they appear to have
voted honestly, which is quite as
much as can. be said of the average
male voter. More than this; Colo
RADIO is the State where the exercise
of political rights by women mas at
tracted the most attention. In this
state, in 1908. women voted in larger
relative proportion than men, which
, is an eloquent fact. It is also stated
that the Acknowledgement of women
IN Colorado mas resulted Ia a long
| list of important reforms, of which
improvements in the child-labor laws,
the making Of mothers coequal guar
dians of their children, the raising of
the age of consent, and legislation
exacting greater care for feeble
minded children and for animals are
only typical. The women vote as a
matter of course tand very often con
trary to the vote of the men of their
fami.ies.) and no bother whatever
is made we are told, about the perils
of womans walking to the voting
booth or the mental strain of dropp-
ing her ballot, or the injury to her
womanhood that the whole proceed
ling involves"
