A NEW OECALOGUE.

ANTI-SUFFRAGE By Grace Dufhe!d
Goodwin. l?mo, PIP. l42
The arguments all lead back along
circular trail. In this forest OF questions
and statistics and opinions We return TO the
point from which we started out. We OF
the majority insist that universal adult
suffrage will be a menace 10 American gov
eminent and to American womanhood ana
that It is lacking in the fundamental pr!h-
ciple Of patriotism.
We can't but regret that the writer Ola
not state this startling hypothesis at the
beginning OF the book, rather than al the
end. so that much OF the time expended on
the circular trail would have been saved.
However, this book is more convincing
than the majority Of books on this subject
and aims with real fervor TO place the
anti" claim on a statistical basis, which IS
difficult undertaking. The book is well
worth reading in both camps and Grace
Dutfield Goodwin president Of the District
Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage
Washington, deserves gratitude for her able
and sincere exposition.
