WHY WOMEN WANT TO VOTE.

cause the bare suggestion of enlarg-
ing the sphere of woman's influence
in the political world raises a violent
protest from the most vicious and de-
basing elements in society. Irrespec-
tive of all other conclusions, one may
reach in connection with this agita
ton. this one alone should determine
the attitude of the thoughtful citizen
toward the matter of woman's suff
rage. Our civilization is becoming
more complex, and new and grave So

age is SCATTERING old ideals and SUBJ

realizing that her children are sur

gross and sordid materialism, and
conscious of her weak position in
political society, is growing alarmed
at the dismal outlook, is reaching for
the most potent weapon society can
give her for the protection of her
family. the ballot Happily, in Amer
lea the mothers are learning that the
ballot box is the source Of political
power; that intrenched privilege in
this country fears nothing but a
demonstration at these same ballot
boxes. Do you wonder that outraged
womankind cries aloud for a weapon
with which to smite the arch enemies
of the home and civilization, and do
you wonder that the beneficiaries
of privilege are alarmed at the pros

clothed with political power? Good
people may oppose wOman's suffrage.

aligned themselves with a bad crowd

Mr.. Clark and the Rules.

Champ Clark is not to be speaker
of the next house of representatives
without a fight; and there is to be a
fight within the democratic ranks over
a revision of the rules.
So much has developed within the
few days since the result in detail of
last Tuesdays election became known.
1t had been taken for granted that
il the democrats won the campaign
for congress the Missouri leader would
be speaker without opposition. But
the old line democrats insist that Mr..
Clark is too much of a Bryanite. and
that inasmuch as this was a victory
for the conservative element of the
party, a conservative democrat, pre-
ferably from one of the southern
states. ought to be selected for
speaker. The movement against Clark
is engineered from New York, and it
is claimed that thirty-nine members
elect have already pledged themselves
to oppose him.
1t is more than doubtful, however
whether Clark can be beaten He is per-
sonally very popular with his party asso-
ciates-and indeed with republicans as
well-and his fealty to Organism
can easily undergo a cooling process

Inconsistent Democrats.

The people of the state of Wash
ington have enfranchised the women
At the vote of last Tuesday a con-
stitutional amendment placing wo-
men on an equality with men. was
adopted by a majority of two to
one.
Equal suffragists all over the coun-
try are elated. and they have right
to be- But their exultation is changed
to regret when they think of the re-
fusal Of Arizona's constitutional con-
vention to give the women a show
, By what process of reasoning the
majority in the convention refuses
to submit a suffrage clause separately
is beyond comprehension. The one
proposition upon which the majority
is united is the principle of direct
legislation" To advocate the practi-
cal abolition of the legislature, on the
ground that the people will decide for
themselves what laws they want, and
at the same time to refuse to give the
people a chance to vote on any par
ticular question of moment, is ridicu-
lousy inconsistent.
1t cannot be denied that a large
number of men in Arizona are in ia
vor of giving the voting privilege to
women. and that if afforded an OPP
portunity these men would vote for
a clause in the constitution TO that
effect.
Why, then. deny to the voters of
this class a chance to express them
selves at the polls at the constitution
al election?
The delegates who oppose the equal
suffrage proposition as a separate
clause are taking precisely the atti-
tude which they say is so objection
able in members of the legislature
the attitude of denying to a consid-
cradle proportion of the population a
chance to be heard.
There is a sound and impregnable
reason for writing into the constitu-
ton itself only the principles upon
which substantially the entire popu
lation is known to be united. The
constitution should not contain doc
trines that are not specifically ap-
proved by a majority of the people.
This is why the republicans in the
late campaign insisted that Arizona's
constitution should be a simple doc
ument of fundamental doctrines. but
susceptible of easy amendment in the
future when it developed from time
to time that the people were clearly in
favor of amendments.
But there are questions-as, for ex-
ample, prohibition and woman suf
frage-upon which it has been diff
ficult to ascertain public sentiment
In recognition of this fact congress in
the enabling act provided that the
constitutional convention might sub
NIT clauses separately, the rejection
of which would not be a rejection of
the constitution adopted by the con-
vention. Should these separate
clauses receive a majority at the
polls, they would become part of the
constitution.
Is the majority in the convention
afraid that there would be a majority
at the polls for woman suffrage?

during the year which must pass
before the new speaker is elected.
1t is humorous Illustration of the
inconsistency of politicians that many
democratic leaders, now that they
have won congress, have suddenly
concluded that the rules which confer
so much power upon the speaker do
not need changing, after all The re-
Cannon was based almost entirely up
on his autocratic use of the rules. They
| succeeded in securing such a revision
of the rules as to take away from
the speaker his power to sidetrack all
| bills that he opposed, but the move
ment to take away from the speaker
the appointment of committees did
not succeed
The republican insurgents, and
majority of the democratic congress
men led by Champ Clark urged that
the committee should be named by
the house itself 1t is of course plain
to everybody that if the speaker were
shorn of his power to appoint the
committees and the committee chair
man, much of his power to control
the house would be gone. without
this patronage the speaker, working
under rules as amended last summer,
/ would find himself reduced to much
less mighty seat But Mr.. Clark, his
friends claim since the election, is
now of the opinion that the speaker
ought to appoint the committees. A
congressmans status is very largely
fixed by his position on committees
The speaker, by appointing him chair
man of this or that committee, or by
mittee. is enabled to bring him to the
front or leave him in obscurity
If the republicans see fit to revise
the rules this winter so as to take
from the speaker and place with the
house the naming of committees and
committee chairmen, Mr.. Clark may
made somewhat difficult, for it is by
promise of committee chairmanships
and places on the leading committees
that a candidate for speaker is able
to command support from the ambi-
tious and practical politicians of his
party And if the republicans change
the rules in this respect it is scarcely
likely that the democrats will have
the courage to return to the old meth
cd
The sudden change of front by the
democrats on the rules question is
only a repetition of their procedure
after they won the house in the cleo
ton of 1890. They had bitterly de-
nounced Speaker Reed as a car, and
had made such a clamor for a revision
of the rules so as ito give the power
of legislation to the peoples repre-
sentatives" that the country became
worked up 10 the supposed gravity
of the situation, and the democratic
landslide which followed was no doubt
caused in part by a popular belief
that the republic was in danger unless
autocratic power were taken from the
speaker But succeeding their victory
at the polls, the democrats experienced
change of heart. They declined to
make any. changes in the rules. anS
their speaker. Mr.. Crisp of Georgia
was enthroned as the ,unquestioned
boss of the house. He was more ar
bitrary than Reed had been, and the
democrats claimed to like the stua-
ton.
And it can be safely taken for
granted that if Champ Clark is elected |
speaker he will be quite as much of |
a car as Reed or Cannon, the rules |
permitting-and he is already object |
ing to a change of the rules

Probably the most interesting fea-

point of view of the Templars, is the
series Of exhibition drills In which the
different Communicates will contest

all over the country have entered the
