Woman Suffrage Becoming Respectable

valiantly along behind the band wag- on.
 Bribery and Chfcanery to Be Cur tailed by Women. But their bribery. trfckery and chi canery; the devfousness of their po- litica1 methods; are in the way to suffer serious curtaflment after suf- frage becomes universal The fetish es of Thigh or low tariHs" regulation of competition, and all the petty catch-penny devices will have to be relegated to the dust heap when Wo- men begin to study political economy because study it they will, when they have something definite to study it for.
 When the housekeepers of the na= Stion have a voice in deciding whether or no the government shall continue to appropriate a half billion dollars a year for war purposea-purpOsa which, almost without exception, are abhorred by all right thinking women when questions concerning employ ment of child labor and industrial regulation are submitted for their de- cision; when the hundred and one matters intimately connected with t1s welfare of the home and the famffy are brought to their ballot notice. a very different tale muust be unfoIded. old Political Parties Need a New
 Bag of Tricks.
 An entirely. different bag of tricks must be unlim bered-and these will go also to the dust heap in due course unless it can be dem mOnstrated beyond caviI that their intent is legitimate and honest
 It was a. woman beating a drum through the streets, crying Bread" that stimulated in the starved peas antry of France that orgy of murder which even yet causes a shuddcr to creep down the spine of the World
 It will be the exasp erated ire e the women of America women with votes, and brains to use them ineeIH- gently-which will assist markedly iys solving this trying question of the high cost of living.
 Every true reformer, every man or woman who holds the welfare of the race in esteem, skouId ally himself with the movement favoring Woman Suffrage--for it spells political ad- vance, industrial relief, and cleaner ideals applied to Government. You might as well be a Progressive fu this matter, for, by your leave or without it, Women Suffrage is becom- ing respectable.
 Soon the fat barnaacles who alt along contended that it was impos- sible will be shouting What did always tell yoIs''

| The movement favorfng Woman Suffrage is gaining strength by leaps
 l and bounds-if a movement ever can
 or does gain ground in this kanga-
 roo fashion-throughout the United
 l States.
 1 But few years ago. there were 1 few so poor as to accord 1t homage
 Now most of the standard bearers o1
 | even the u1tra-conservative parties are
 1 viewing with one another to curry
 1 the political favor of women. The reason is obvious. Suffrage is Iinevitable-just as inevitable as eYolu-
 l ton and the tides. The party lead
 ] CTS. with astute recognition, are ad-
 uniting it. It is becoming respectable ian evidence of Progressivefsn. Most of athe pioneers. who were hooted and jeered, and scoffed at as fanatics, are dead. What's this about the "b1ood of martyrs? ?" One of the paradoical things about universal suffrage is that it is oppos- ed by some of the very women who would be most benefited by it. This would be incomprehensible, were 1t not true that freedom rarely comes through their own endeavor-to those who most need it.
 We are told that when the Bastile fell, and the attacking mob flowed in to the nofsorne dungeons, one of the seven wretched prisoners, a man who had been inurred for over 80 years, wept piteously when told that he was free.
 The poor devil had lost not only all hope of freedom, but all desire for
 it, and all knowledge of how to use it. He begged to be returned to his cell, and was infinitely more afraid of his nberators than he was of his jatIors. Many good. fooliah, and fatuous la- dies are in this same 1amentable state They have been dependent so long that it will be necessary to drag them forcibly into the clear light of franchise independence and it's inn ninent responsibility.
 As evidencing this responsibility we now have the very clever and far seeing MT. Roosevelt attempting to rope, tie, and brand it a vital and integral part of the Progressive Plat form. Beware of the Greeks bear ing gifts"
 Roosevelt Forced Into Advocating Woman Suffrage. MT. Roosevelt has been forced into ] advocating Woman Suffrage. Until very recently he side-stepped, shied, and stammered, and never professed it
 Mrs R. was '1uke-warm'' so he was '1uke-warm'' too. Now, since California has given the franchise to women, and the entire West bids fair to follow suit within a few years, he is s'red-hot.'' This is well. Any thing is we'll that accomplishes the de- sired result It is only one of the many straws which point the direc- ton of the prevailing political wind. (No particular reference to Roose-
 welt is here intended--his Korean ac- tivities are thoroughly understood by
 those who understand-argum is futile with the misguided who cannot nor will not reason.)
 But honor where honor is due. He has helped to make Suffrage respect ab1e-forced by eigencies over which he had no control.
 The older parties are falling de- aorouslv into line. and are trailing

PULPIT NOT PEWS ARE AT FAULT
 SAYS PHELPS
Noted Yale Educator Says Hungry Sheep Are
 Unfed"
YaIe Professor Says Preachers Talk Politics Instead of
 Christianity

That the main trouble with the church to-day is not in the pews but in the pulpit; that there is more Christian faith in the average con gregation than there is in the aver age preacher and that ministers of t4-day are neglecting the gospel to talk politics and municipal affairs are few startling statements by Prof William Lyon Phelps of Yale in discussing the lack of attendance in churches to-day.
 ssThe main difficulty with the church to-day is that the people in Ine pews o0 tbe noI nhs Tas brperv me gsps shasp look up, and are not fed," he declares in The Century.
 s.The tremendous strength of the Roman Cath oIie- church lies in its fi- delity tn principle, in it's religious vii tality. and in it's hatred of contpro- neisc. It should be an oDject-lesson to all PrptesIantz1 ministers. They may not belieyestts dognas. they may not accept any theological dognlas at .l1: but they ought to learn that The chiefi duty of a. preacher is. to hold forth Christianity. and noS discourse . on sanitation. political economy, or literature. People everywhere are pond to it when 1t is eonvincingly set forth whether by men like Phillips I3roaks or men like Billy Sunday. The great Boston bishop never had any trouble in-eEttfng an audience; and although he%Was a nan0f- the high est and broadest cultfzafiBzI,-inter ed in every modern movement in lit erature, politics, and art, he never preached anything but the Christiaa religion He used all his rem arkab1e sits in that one direction The re- suit was that his congregations were enormous, and that he was beloved and respected by all classes of men.
 The pastor should be a leader, not a follower. If he has less convic- ton than his audience, how can he lead them? What would be thought of the general of an army who had no definite ideas as to where he ought to take his men, and conviction that his cause was good2 If the trumpet give uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself for battle?
