They nave Il strong argument on
their side when they show That thou
SANDS OF women are now taxpayers
anu should have "a say as to how these
taxes should DC levied and expended:
that many thousands are mot.iers, who
a.lould have voice in the manage
ment of the public schools In which
Their children are educated and in the
passage and enforcement of laws
touching tho sanitary conditions under
which Their children must be reared
and the sumptuary laws which touch
their domestic concerns.
Tho great majority of the public
school teachers are women who arc
peculiarly we'll fitted to use g ballot
in deciding school loves. \ larger
and larger number Of women year by
year are engaging iii ben yoient work
and gaining definite IDEAS regarding
the caro- of the joor ana afflicted.
Trained nurses and womer physicians
arc multiplying and seeking more
power In their crusade for henltl
laws. Questions OF child labor appeal
to the feminine interest with especial
force. These and many kindred mat
ters within the domain OF legislative
energies of tho seeker after equal
suffrage.
On the other hand, the arguments
against IT must be- met and refuted,
that 1t Is not desired by tho difident
and retiring women of tho better
class. that 1t would distract them from
their domestic dulles; that IT would
introduce discord into families nov
harmonious; that It would introduce
IN element Into tho electorate both IN
familiar with governmental matters
and not adapted to public service.
The old political philosophers. from
Plato down. have taught that the fam
lily was the unit OF tn estate. They
must maintain, as their orators have
asserted. that the individual is tho
unit. They should do what their
sisters across the water have not done
display "a calm conservatism In their
mcthous as Will tend to show a self
restraint, which Will commend them
as n desirable acquisition to tho voting
populations. Above ALL they must
make converts among the women
thcmclves. When considerable
majorty of them demand tho ballot
they will get 1t. Not at once. by any
means, but before 4 very great while.
For the present, they should CON
graduate themselves that In their
first legislative fight their resolutions
have been reported to both houses.
Such success is said never to have at
tended similar efforts In any other
State. Their first battle is lost, but IL
their cause provo really worthy sue
cess awaits 1t In tho not very distant
future.

LEGISLATIVE COMMENT
WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE-lI.
By LEWIS H. MACHEN.

The suffragists have no cause to feel
encouragement because OF their fail
ufc TO secure q single vote on the
senate Committee On PRIVILEGES and
Elections. Whether by coincidence
or not that committee from time i'm
memorial has always been so cons,i-
t"ted that almost every proposition to
Grange the election laws has had it's
pronounced opposition Sucn thing

in its favor ana afterward passing the
senate 10y q large majority. Why
might not a similar success attend a
resolution which emerged from this
ultra conservative BODY with no votes
to it's credit? We'll, sucn a thing
might happen in tho case OF some
resolutions, but not this one

vote ii VIII get some votes. IT may
even get surprising number of
votes. but not enough to satisfy the
polit!cal cravings of suffragist
However. the ladies who have so
earnestly promoted this propaganda

Thcir efforts In this State were greet

ridicule. AS tho cause grew the
ridiculc became less conde3cending
and It's advocates We're answered at
greater length and seriously. Tho
hearing before the House committee
was more largely attended because the
interest was freshor and the weather
was moro clement. But the notice
able difference was that every one
seemed TO take the Senate hearing less
ilfppa ntiy. Notwithstanding their
sliShtcr effect upon the Senate com
mittce, the hearing before it seemed
to make a deeper impression upon the
Innocent bysthnders. The Knowledge
that there was mems league in en-
istcnce and activity In behalf of votes

Organized labor has 4 way Of making
itself felt which politicians under
stand and respect.
The friends of equal suffrage have
only just begun to organize, They do
not know each other. They must have
ono or two election cduca tioral
campaigns. They must adopt some
OF the political methods so ,-tectivoly
employed by their sisters In the West.
AS an opening wedge they might ask
the Legislature to pass law enabling
them to vote upon certain school uues-
lions or upon bond issues. They
would have some difficulty IN getting
the ballot IN local option elections.
These inroads would mark u distinct
ADVANCE into the territory OF the
enemy. The raw edge OF novelty
must be- taken from the proposition.
