dustries. They have not usurped
mems place, as some narrow-visioned
people imagine, for there is no means
of determining mems place or wom-
ems either. Women have simply,
through the work of events, been
forced into the larger field.
Now, inasmuch as they have no
direct representation in the lawmak-
ing bodies, they, of course, are pow
erless to effect legislation which reg
ulates their hours of labor, and the
conditions under which they work.
Their wages, too, are often unques-
tionably lower because they are not
political factors. Woman's position,
then, it is seen, is quite anomalous.

"SEPARA TION''
By L. G. Branyon

This angel pressed upon my brow;
Since she I loves away!
Deep sorrow browns the springs of
And spectral Furies throng my
way,
While Time unwinds an endless rope,
And sweeps me on and will not
stay.
For she's away, away!
Each ear that heard her gentle step,
Each heart that gladdened at her
smile,
With dreams and love of her the
while.
But, oh! that she's away!
Ali she's away! Silent as the flight
Of sea-gull or the shooting star,
She vanished from my fearful sight.
I stand beside the moaning bar,
And dream of her away!
But in this midnight of the soul,
Abysmal chaos of the mind,
Her wraith-like form in saints pure
stole,
From every i'll my life shall bind,
Though she be far away.
So in this sorrow will I dwell
And live, and hope, and deem it
true,
That separations not farewell.
Although I whisper, now, "Adieu',
While she | loves away

clearly, forcibly and fully demon
strates any one fact, it is this. The
history of antiquity, of Greece and
Rome, no less than medieval and
modern history, conclusively proves
that those classes which lacked po-
litical power received but little con-
sideration at the hands of the ruling
classes.
Individual men and women
throughout the ages have deplored
the unjust discrimination against
women. And it is only within COM
paratively recent times that large
numbers of both women and men
have come to realize the serious dis
advantage, as we'll as the humilia-
ton, of woman's position, and as a
result of this realization have begun
Systematically to agitate for their po-
1itical emancipation.
This is due to two causes. One is
the great industrial development of
the last two centuries, and the other
is the progress of democracy.
Since the industrial revolution
women have come in competition
with men in practically all the in

Gone from my tree the bird that sang
So close beside my cOttage-door;
And silent now the bells that rang
And softly soothed me more and
more.
For she l loves away!
For me no more the waters laugh,
Whereby we wandered hand in
hand;
No joy-cup, now, for me to quaff,
And slow the hourglass pours it's
sand,
For she I loves away!
All withered, now, the roses fall
The garden of my soul is sere,
For she was flowers, roses-all,
And more than they, when she was
here;
But she I loves away!
And in this winter-gloom of life,
l find no ingleside to cheer
Tired heart and hands, when ends
the strife
Of labor's day, for she's not near
Away, away, away!
No more our mating hearts can thrill
In rhythmic numbers at the touch
Of passing joy Or fancied i'll,
And peace, Life gave so Overmuch.
For she I loves away!
No night can be so dark as this;
No day so sunless as is now,
For absent e'er the holy kiss

Our Need of Democracy
By Alice Davis.

To prove that it is not really such
involves no more difficult task than
to define the word. Democracy
means rule of the people. But the
people of the United States do not
rule-only men rule. Now, we are
forced to one of two conclusions:
Either the government of the United
States is not democracy, Or wom-
en- are not people.
AnthropOlOgy seems to support the
view that women are people. In
many places, both in this country
and abroad, the law accords to wom-
en- the status of people.
Our Federal Constitution, in it's
definition of citizenship, is quite gen
orally understood to include women
among people. The civil status of
women in most countries seems to
justify the conclusion that they are
generally regarded as people. FL
nally, there are four States in our
women among the political people,
The preponderance of evidence,
therefore, perhaps it will be admit
ted, is in favor of the presumption
that women are people.
Now, as democracy means rule of
the people, and as women are people,
unless women have part in the rule,
the government surely is not demo-
cratic
Glass rule is the leading character
istic of any form of despotism, wheth-
or it is called monarchy, aristocracy,
oligarchy, or democracy. Theoretic-
ally, Of course, government exists
for the protection of all the people
Under despotism Of whatever name,
the justification of class rule is based
upon the supposition that the ma
jority is not qualified to govern. If
the supposition is correct, to the ex-
tent to which it is true, perhaps
case may be made out for despotic
rule. That, at least, is a debatable
question.
But for the sake of common hon
esty, it would be better that a gov
eminent by class did not masquer-
ade as a democracy, which exists os-
tensibly for the equal protection of
all the people, and in which all the
people must have part.
The founders of the government
the United States recognized as
it's basic principle the truth that only
by direct participation in political
affairs can any class or individual
be assured of justice in making and
administering the laws. The recog-
milton of this truth is shown by their
insistence upon ''no taxation without
representation, and by the claim
that no one could represent another
unless the one to be represented di-
rectly voted for the wouldbe repre-
sentative. Different views between
the colOnists and the English govern
ment with reference to these two
principles caused the agitation which
finally resulted in separat ton, and the
establishment here of a government

able conditions for free and natural
development and shut out from the
larger outlook upon life. 1t means
forced repression in vital direc-
ton, and results in the production of
stunted, artificial beings, whose en-
ergies are wasted upon petty and
trif1ing concerns.
This means a direct and an in
direct loss to society and the State;
the direct, through the failure to
utilize woman's intuitive perception,
her rapid and correct insight into
present fact, and her greater quick
ness of apprehension in social and
political affairs. It means the loss
of half our resources.
In all things of difficulty and i'm
portance those who can do them we'll
are fewer than we need; even with
the most unrestricted latitude of
choice the limitation of the field of
selection deprives society of some
chance of being served by the COM
petent without ever saving it from
the incompetent
The Indirect loss comes through
the poorer equipment of those par
ticipating in government through
their training by and association with
imperfectly trained women and men.
Right here it is proper to notice
the much talked of influence of wom-
en-. No one doubts that women may
and do exercise much influence in
affairs of State. They always have
done SO under every form of govern
ment; but under a nominal democ-
racy, without the ballot, this influ-
ence is-wholly irresponsible, and ow-
ing to that fact, as we'll as the lack
of political training, it is quite as
likely to be bad as good
Why then continue so illogical and
unsatisfactory a procedure, fraught
with injustice to women and loss to
the State?
The political inexpediency of such
a course seems apparent, but the
