Mrs. Richard T. Fitzgerald, secretary
of the Massachusetts, Equal Suffrage As
ISOLATION today. She is herself the moth
er of three beautiful children. She
said:
Il have never seen more ideal homes,
more ideal mothers, Tran among my suf-
fragist friends. There is no more rea-
son that women hould be prohibited
from voting because they have no chill
dren than are men and there are many
men who are childless and yet who vote
i%ntelligently and con]scientiously every
year.
"a woman should be no more re-
stricted by the number of children she
has than the number of hands and feet
she has. She ought to be allowed to
vote because she is entity in herself,
who nave the same right and privilege
of voting that a man has. and for the

Beverly, Mass.-President Taft be-
lieves in suffrage for women, but he
does not think the time for it has ar
rived. His notion is that the great ma
jority of women are not convinced that
they desire the right to vote. When
the time comes that the women of the
United States are agreed that they want
the right to vote, the President hopes
that they will get it.
These views on the suffrage question
the President confded to a Boston caller
recently.
The President believes a great many
able women who have given the -'oman
suffrage question serious thought are
vet convinced that they desire the
right to vote and that when the time
comes that the women of the United
States are agreed that they desire WON
an suffrage, they'll get it.

AN ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENT.
fNewton Herald I

Inc court decision of the Illinois SUI
preme court in refusing citizenship to
man who kept his saloon open on
Sunday will probably meet with the ap-
prevail of most people Citizenship i'm
plies obedience to the law and the court
rightly took the ground that a man
knowingly and persistently yiolatins
law was not fit to be citizen.
The decision ought to serve as a
warning in more ways than one. Too
often people have been naturalized who
for reasons like the above. or others
equally vital, were VIGOROUSLY unfit for
citizenship and they have added to the
difficulty of maintaining and enforcing
law and were menace to the COM
nunity in which they lived.
But it also has or should have an
important bearing upon the whole
question of law observance and law
enforcement. If man is unfit to be-
come a citizen because of persistent
violation of law is a man who is al
ready citizen fit to retain his citizen
ship If guilty along the same lines
And. also, is the man who after swear
ing to enforce laws on his induction to
office. but who deliberately breaks his
oath AT to retain office or his citizen
ship? The Illinois supreme court in its
dcision in the above mentioned case
uttered sound doctrine when it said
1T is essential to the safety and per-
petuity OF government that laws be en-
forced until repealed
