SAYS WOMEN SOON
TIRE OF POLITICS

"If you want to keep women out Of
politics" said DR.. Thomas Fiaschi Of
Sydney. Australia, give them the
vote It acts as a capital damper.
The minute they get II, right away
they begin to lose interest. and in a
short time hardly any of them vote "
Or. Fiaschi is a surgeon who has
been travelling about visiting hospitals
and has come to Baltimore to see
the Hopkins. He is now stopping at
the Belvedere Hot ].
Il have noticed the way universal
suffrage worked in our own country.
The women stay at home and mind
their families and they don't have the
time to go out and vote or take part
in politics.
81 think that this is, in part, due
to the fact that almost all our women
are married. which is not so much
the case in the United States. We have
more men than women in Australia.
It's new country. and we have many
young men coming out from home. so
that women are in demand and most
of them find husbands.
Here the number of bachelor
ladies', as | believe you call them, is
large. and as they have no family in
terest they take more interest in
asking for the vote. Our women
hardly asked for it at all when il
was given them.
, "Well. I suppose these bachelor
ladies' would be slower to forget 10
vote than our women were, but I
think they would in the end Just
give II to them and sooner or later
they'll forget TO use IT,"
