Watch Parade of Thousands of Suf-
fragists in New York.

New York, May 6.-Nearly three miles
| of New Workers., doubled, in ranks or
ten deep, got a new IDEA about votes
for women when between 5000 and
9. 600 suffragists marched from Wash
inrton square north in Fifth avenue TO
Carnegie hall.
who were in the lines had come there
to have fun over the sight of a band Of
short haired women and feminine
freaks tramping up the street shouting
raucously Equal rights"
But somehow it did not turn out that
way and the gibes and jeers, except
from the half baked youths, were much
forced when they were at all.
Not even the youths in question could
find much sport in laughing at 1000 or
5000 women who make their own living
who are the doctors, lawyers, nurses
of their sex, who are school teachers,
bookkeepers, investigators, millinerS,
dressmakers, or workers in the FAC
tories that turn out everything from
shirtwaists to grand pianos.
They could not even get up much ami
nation over the 600 or more men who
were in the line of march. These men
were not long haired; they did not wear
shawls and some of them looked as if
they were pretty well able to take care
of themselves if anybody got too gay
with them.
Therefore, all Fifth avenue, from
about Eighth street clear up to Fifty
seventh street, and across to Carnegie
hall, remained to applaud. In that re-
spect the parade was much of a sue
cess, and all the leaders were delighted.
Late Hour Stops Some.
To tell the truth, the number of those
in the parade did not come up to ex
pectation. The suffrage leaders had
figured on $1,000 at least, but they had
not taken into consideration that after

1t is getting time to prepare dinner or

ready for bed, and they can't get away.
Two hours earlier Ind perhaps the most
ardent expectation would have been
realized. There will be an earlier
marching time next year.
The police declared, after it was ell
over, that they had never had a better
except trained soldiers. The police
themselves rather fell down in handling
the crowd in a number of spots, but
they meant that there was no friction
or mixing UP in getting ready to start,
in managing the divisions, and in get
ting rid of the marcherS up around
F'ifty-seventh street after it was all
over.
Every woman knew the division TO
which she belonged; she knew where it
was to form and she got there without
making any fuss about it, If she did
not have a white gown or a SO cent has,
she came in what she had and before
she got through with it she had some

ACCEPT THE OPPORTUNITY

Every day one can hear the re-
mark that the people will not attend
the primaries, but it is the general
belief that since the farmers and
laborers can go to the polls ON Sep
tember 10 and cast secret ballot
and have it counted for the men
and women of their choice they will
be only to glad to accept the op-
portunity. Those who have not been
in the habit of attending the primar-
les under the old system justify their
actions by saying that it was Of no
use as the primaries and conven-
tions were alwas conducted by the
gangsters.
1t is up to those who have found
fault with the old system of pririar-
les to get out to the polls OH Sep
tember 10 and make a choice from
omong the candidates in their re-
spective parties. In those states
where direct primaries have been
held it has been found that on an
average so per cent of the people
attend the primaries. This is not
as large as it should be, but after
all it is good showing when it is
known that many of the voters do
not any longer class themselves as
party men. The independent voters
do not belong to an party and there
fore can not be expected to attend
and vote in primaries. However,
If man prefers to remain independ-
ent Of any party and refuses to take
any part in primary he has no
moral right to object to the results
of the primaries and should keep
still.
