THE EXPERIENCE OF MEN.

IL II is true that the law favors women
In any way. which it is difficult to prove.
why arc Our antl-suffrage friends 80
afraid Of losing immunlties by the vote?
Is that the way the possession Of the
ballot affects men? l. it conscious en-
tity turning friendly face TO men whom
IT helps. and Transforming itself into
destroying, deadly apparition when il
meets women or when women meet il?
The whole contention is absurd and Is
based upon an utter msconception Of the
meaning OF popular government and OF
the nature OF the ballot II is a protec.
ton. Even DR.. Abbott says that II Is,
there is no possible way of proving that
women do not need It as much as men do.
They are not a sheltered class apart from
life and its responsibilities. The few who
lead lives of luxury and leisure do so at
their own peril physically. mentally and
morally. They have no right 10 settle the
conditions for all others, nor can they
do so.
The hour is at hand when the truths OF
political justice shall be manifest. The
people Of New York State are waking UP.
People means men and women. In 1915
the voting held will show whether they
believe In the. other half or whether they
consider a medieval constitution adapted
TO twentieth century conditions. We do
not fear the result, because We suffragists
believe in the men Of New York. in their
sense OF justice and fair play. We believe
in its splendid womanhood. armed and
equipped for the exercise of citizenship as
no dsfranchised class ever was In the
past. We believe in the half million

Mr.. Frank Weitenkampf is Curator

he describes and having the literature

been able to produce peculiarly au-
thoritative work 1t embodies brief
and rapid survey Of the subject, as
tonishingly rich In detail. THIS au-
thor has his opinions, and they are
sound. but he writes primarily to con-
yey information and has produced &
useful work of historical reference.
The field explored is wide, but not Oh
uniform interest in the material II
yields. Though the graphic arts have
been with us for a long time, we have
not used them all with the same sue

point is Of interest as bearing upon
the practical element in American life.
Etchers and wood engravers profitably
exercise their arts in this country
nowadays, but they make, even when
taken together, n comparatively small
group. 1t Is because they appeal more
especially to the collector. The Illus
traitors, making larger and more ac-
tive body, are thus to the fore because
the popular magazine is an American
institution They satisfy not luxury
but a need.
If there are a good many mediocre
ties touched upon In Mr.. Wciten-
kampf's book, there are also numbers
OF artists who deserve well OF their

figure especially in the chapters which
Mr. Weitenkampf gives TO our etchers
and wood engravers, those craftsmen

1t is great pity that the clever
American etchers of the SOS and their
colleagues working upon wood were
not encouraged to persist. They did
some fine things. Mr.. Weitenkampf
