may IN a measure be accounted for by
the fact that the regular census was
taken In the winter. when MANY OF those

countries are at home. while the indus

when many people are away from home.

Equal sufrragist Approves Justice

From the Boston Herald.
Miss Alice Stone Blackwell the promi-

that she heartily agreed with Justice
Brewer. of the United States Supreme
Court, in the decision recently rendered
by him in an Oregon case TO the effect
that woman is entitled by law to more
protection than a man.
Il heartily agree t. the main with the
decision rendered By Justice Brewer. %
said Miss Blackwell.
Women require some protection for
their health beyond what men do. Facts
should be recognized in regard to women's
health. Take for example the ordinance
requiring that saleswomen should be
furnished with seats. Il simply recognizes
the fact that a woman cannot stand on
her feet Tor many hours a day IN one
place. without physical injury OF a kind
which man does not suffer, because OF
his different build.

are held on this subject. First. that 1t
