THOMAS NELSON PAGE ON wOMAN'S
SUFFRAGE.

III the course of Il recent newspaper
interview some very sane and perth
nent comments upon the womans suf-
! fragc movement were made by Thomas
! Nelson Page. This distinguished Vir-
| ginia writer feels that IL tho right to
| vote were granted 10 women without
any other qualification. very few of
the women ot the South would be fav-
orablc TO tho propaganda. He also
thinks that the demand for votes for
women III this country is not eXtcn-
sivo and lis the result OF 4 laborious
effort to churn up interest on the part
OF n by no means large fraction OF
the female population" The absence
OF any great neral purpose in the agi-
tation is also noted by Mr. Page, and
he dcploves the fact that the suffra-
! gcttes have not contemplated any plans
! beyond securing the franchise privi
! lcgc. Fundamentally, he is of the
opinion that The woman's suffrage
movement has received a considerable
impetus from those who wish to raise
! the economic status of women, but
/ who. by reason OF loose thinking, con
fuse the so-callcd woman movement
/ with the demand for votes for women
Il would divide this question: Mr.
I Page states, clearly from that which
I is contained in the general phrase, tho
/ woman question or the woman move
I mcnt' ! think. as to this. that the
I movement on behalf of women, Of late
/ years, has been Of incstimahlc benefit
/ TO all the lower classes of women. and
I In a less degree has been a benefit on
the whole to the upper classes OF
! women. First il has opened up for
! those who needed ii, IN whatever class
! new professions, trades and means Of
/ livelihood. which have given hundreds
/ OF thousands of them the ability to
support themselves in directions pre-
! viously closed to them. Secondly. it
I mas caused Il great element among
them to think seriously on subjects
which We're of vital Importance not
only TO women, but to the world ut
large. and has opened up new avenues
of usefulness formerly barred against
them SO much for the woman qucs-
ton
Nov when il comes to the other
question, female suffrage, although J
do not think IL II subject which can
lac decided without difficulty and tossed
aside III Il lew sentences, ] ind when
look deep into my heart. that 1 am
opposed 10 it-ccrtainly to the extent
to which claim is now laid to It,"
There IL certainly strong ground for
Mr. Pages position. Undoubtedly, a
large number of persons who are deep
ly concerned with the Industrial con-
dition of women at the present time
have without careful consideration
and IN AN excess Of sympathy, decided
that the suffrage is the best means
for obtaining redress from economic
inJusticcs. There is no reason 10 be-
