WHY WOMEN FAILED
TO CARRY WISCONSIN
Combination of Peculiar Political and Social
Conditions Responsible for the De-
feat Of Equal Suffrage.

Socialist platform. Moreover. the Social
lists as we'll as the La Toilette progress
sives felt that Roosevelt had stolen most
OF their thunder. 1t was therefore quite
natural that they should do their best to
defeat a measure which Roosevelt had
counted on as one Of his pet issues. So
II seems that the warning OF the political
parties among themselves was largely re-
sponsible for the defeat Of the suffrage
amendment.
There were other reasons, however, that
were quite as potent The women them
selves were very inert. Their indifference
was appalling. Two years ago the So
called state suffrage association con-
sisted OF only seventy-five members, scat
tered throughout the state. The women's
clubs were slow to fall In line with the
movement. In the fall Of 1910 the State
Federation of Clubs refused to allow the
reading of an announcement concerning
certain suffrage lectures by very noted
woman, SO bitter was the feeling against
anything so radical.
In the fall Of 1911, after the members OF
the Legislature had gone 30 far as to
pass the suffrage bill, the federation OF
clubs was still unwilling to indorse the
measure. and could go no further than to
recommend to their sisters that they
study the subject Of woman suffrage.
Just one month ago, on the eve OF the
election. the women finally passed reso-
lutions favoring suffrage, but the majority
was very small.
When the women themselves showed so
little eagerness to obtain tho ballot II Is
not surprising that many men who really
believed in equal suffrage decided 1t was
best for the women to wait awhile.
Tho saddest truth of all is that dissen-
sions arose among the suffragists them
selves. and there seemed to be no leader
strong enough to unite all the forces. An
attempt on the part OF the national asso-
citation to help only made matters worse,
as that society was not cognizant OF the
real trouble, and thus the energies of the
most enthusiastic workers were hopelessly
dissipated.
Now. in regard TO the foreign popula-
ton. We must not lose sight OF the fact
that many of them are Scandinavian, and
as the swedes and Norwegians are accus-
toned to their women voting at home, II
Is not likely that they would vote against
the measure In this country. Some Of the
strongest sufrragists in the state are Ger
mans. and IL is hardly fair to claim that
they defeated woman suffrage.
II is undoubtedly true that the liquor
dealers opposed votes for women, but
they were not strong enough. even in the
famous city OF Milwaukee. TO alone de-
feat the suffrage amendment
on the whole II seems probable that the
defeat in Wisconsin was due to no one
set Of people, but was the result Of a
peculiarly complicated political and social
condition.

By DIR. Jacolyn Van yIiet Manning.

The most indispensable servants of the
modern home are not the cook, the laun-
dress and the butler, but they are those
natural and physical forces which man
has enslaved to minister to his well-beins,
pleasure and profit. They include water
under p-s1sxrs Cor innlmerable uses, gas
for heating, electricity for lighting and
communication with the outside world,
fresh air conduit for ventilation, and
great system for the removal OF fluid
waste.
Each OF these mighty modern genii finds
access to or exit from the house by way
Of the cellar, and while each OF them
will prove q docile and trustworthy ser
want IL his peculiar right Of way is re-
spected, crossing his entirely reasonable
requirements may result in fire. flood or
pestilence.
The Perfect Cellar.
As the house foundation forms the walls
of the cellar, the materials used In max
ing them must be capable OF excluding
ground water and ground air, and at the
same time be rat-proof. Brick Is peryious
to both water and gas. and when used 1t
must be reinforced with tar paint and
plaster. A graded tile drain placed out
side Of and below the foundations and
concrete floor and airspace In the walls
are all aids to securing dry cellar.
A German scientist was able to demon
strate that cellar air gradually perme-
ates the house, one-half invading the first
story, one-third the second and one-fifth
the third. There Is. in fact, a constant
current Of ascending air In every house.
This current is increased when the sun is
shining or when the artificial heating APP
paratus is working. The Importance of
excluding from the cellar way all damp
ness, decaying vegetables and sewer gases
therefore will be easily seen.
Tho Cold Air Inlet Box.

the intake Of which is out OF doors, pro-
yides in a measure for the distribution
of fresh air throughout the house. The
inlet should be placed at least three feet
above the surface of the ground and dis
tant from any drain, vent or garbage con-
tainer In the city 1t should not open
toward the street, and should always be
wired against the entrance of vermin and
coarse rubbish. An Interior screen OF
coarse cloth will check the passage OF
much organic dust, which chars in the
furnace room and scatters fine dust and
choking odors through the house. This
inlet should be made OF galvanized iron,
with an area equal to the combined area
OF the hot air pipes II less In area the
pipes extending to the sheltered side OF
the house may take all the air and draw
down air from the registers on the wind
