Women Must Keep Still.
Apparently when men do certain
things politically they are right When
women do them they are wrong Men
who believed that they had right to
voice in making the laws that rule
them have fought bloody battles to
establish their rights, and the world
has applauded them for it. But a
Shrek, that is echoed around the
world has gone up because some wo-
men. who thought that they had a
right to a voice in making laws that
govern them, smashed a few windows.
Heaven only knows what would hap
pen if woman should shed drop of
blood in her struggle for liberty
Another curious and humorous illus
tration of the things that a man may
90, and woman may not do, is shown
in the right that men have to judge
a matter on its merits, while a wo-
man is compelled to always lug in the
eternal sex equation. For example you
often hear 1t said that woman's cruelty
to woman makes countless thousands
mourn, and not that nobody is hard
on an erring woman as another wo-
man.
In the first place, there isn't word
of truth in this assertion. Women
are womens best friends. and there is
no hand that is so steadily held out in
helpfulness to the unfortunate of her
sex as the woman's hand
But that's not the point ! want to
make here. What | want to call at
tention to is that a man is accorded
perfect right to Judge another man
freely and say so If man finds
another man to be a liar and a thief
and a hypocrite, nobody accuses him
of being actuated by jealousy and envy
if he blackballs the unworthy ons at a
club and refuses to associate with him.
If man commits . terrible crime no.

No matter what another woman is.
no other woman can ever criticise her
without being called q cat. and if she
has the moral courage and hardihood
to hold that sex doesn't justify crime
and that the woman who breaks the
law should he punished for it. every
body turns on her the old cry that it is
woman against woman and that wo-
men have no pity for each other.
All of which means it a battling and
a perplexing job to be a woman. but
amidst its difficulties Providence has
vouChsafed us one mercy-it made Taft
and Roosevelt our brothers instead of
our sisters. Otherwise we should never
have heard the last of the dangers of
the emotional sex in politics and the
polls would have been the north pole
to which no skirt would have pene-
trated for generation to come.
As it is we have hopes, and I've point
with pride to the fact that the two

kkT NEVER look IN the glass when I

me once, as I was struggling to
get good look at myself by the aid Of

back

rors at all" and she looked at me with
such disapproval that answered
quickly. "I'u take a triple mirror and
all the big mirrors can get. You
probably only get a good look a your
self in shop windows YOU look in"
That may have been q catty remark
but she certainly looked as if she put
herself together in the dark, and I've
never seen anything to admire in a
woman who didn't take pains to get
good view of herself in the looking
glass while she was finishing her toilet
and especially after it was done
A three sided mirror is something
OF an extravaganza, but one good one
will last you a lifetime. and you will
bless it daily for the hints it gives you
on how to dress. how your hair looks,
and the back view you present to the
public.
Most people are awfully careless
about the back view; men as well as

is one thing for which all
suffragists should return thanks

MERE is one tnlns TOT winch all
suffragists should return thanks
to heaven. on their knees. and
that is that neither President Taft nor
ex-President Roosevelt is a woman.
Suppose two women who were candi-
dates for the highest elective office in
the gift of their sex-the presidency Of
the Federation of Womens Clubs, or
the National Suffrage association. say
who had once been bosom friends. were
going about the country raking up each
others past and vilifying and abusing
each other like fishwives.
Suppose that the kindest epithet that
they hurled at each other was Hussy!
Gait Liar! Migrate. Fat Slob. and
other compliments of the same kidney
wouldn't there be heard from one end Of
the country to the other that such con-
duct showed that women We're unfit for
sa11 government or to participate in
government?
Wouldn't men declare that it proved
how emotional. illogical and prejudiced
women were, and how unable they were
to bring the same calm, dispassionate
consideration to bear on public ques
tions that men did?
Yea, verify.
II two women who wanted the same
honor and office should act as our two
most exalted statesmen are now doing
It would put the cause of suffrage for

would cry Consider the disloyalty

the wire pulling! Observe how brit
tie friendships are when they stand In
the way of selfish ambition! Certainly
those who have no more self control
than is exhibited in this disgusting
struggle for place and power have no
right to the exercise of the franchise
and it will be cold Fourth of July
when We put the ballot in their hands!"
Lucky For SURFACE Cause.
Yes, indeed. It certainly is lucky for
suffragsts that Mr.. Taft and Mr.
Roosevelt wear trousers instead of pet
ticoats. because if two women had en-
gagged in such mud singing contest
as they have. and had back bitten each
other as they have We should have
proved to everybodySs satisfaction that
we are too emotional to be trusted to
handle loaded apon like the vote
OF course. there's no argument in the
kettle reminding the pot that It is also
black, but it is interesting and cynically
amusing to note how different is the
code of morals and manners. even in
politics, by which men and women are
Judged. Nobody, for instance is fool
ish enough to think that the unseemlv
vrangle between Mr.. Taft and Mr.
Roosevelt indicates that men are un-
fitted for self government, or should be
disfranchised, but if two women we're
