Machine Politicians Fear Women

Machine Politicians Fear Women
Perhaps the fear of woman's Curl
osity in such matters is the reason the
machine politicians are the most de-
termined opponents of woman suf-
frage. They are like the janitor of
the school who, when he was asked
how he liked the woman who had been
elected to the school board, replied:
'Aw, away wild her! She hadn't been
on dat board a week before she was
shopping around in the cellar and
made me clean it out, and me that had
been here fifteen years with never no
man on the school board even looking
in at the door!"
Some Things Calling for Curiosity
Certainly it would do no harm if
somebody had the curiosity to look
into the records of candidates and saw
that only decent men were put up to
represent decent people. Nor would
it be inimical to the welfare of the
general public if healthy curiosity
was directed to finding out why the
man who is elected on one platform
with specific promise to do certain
things forgets his obligation as soon
as he gets into Office.
1t would be a good thing to have
somebody curious as to where the
money goes that is appropriated for
certain public improvements. 1t
would be good thing to have some
body curious about why some laws are
enforced and others are not, and how
men holding small Offices with small
pay are enabled to accumulate large
fortunes and live like princes.
VIII Fill Long-Felt Want
ooh, there are lot of things that
it wouldn't hurt us to be curious
about, and if women bring this quality
into politics they will fill long-felt
want. Therell have to be some better
reason advanced against giving won-
an the vote than her desire to know
things"

DOROTHY DIX ON CURIOSITY
printed by request)

Dorothy Dix in the New York Jour-
nal holds forth in an amusing strain
on women's alleged curiosity. After
enumerating many cases in which men
have shown curiosity, and derived
good results from it, she continues:
"The contention that women are
more curious than men is an allega-
ton that cannot be substantiated by
fact, but if it were true it would be no
reflection on the feminine character,
and certainly no bar to their enfran-
chisement.
Robust Curiosity Needed
Indeed, there is no other quality
that is more needed in voters of the
present day than large, robust Curl
osity in good working order.
Most Men Too Busy to Inquire
''The majority of men are too busy
and too much engrossed in their own
business to have time to look into
public matters much, but women have
more leisure, and if they spent part of
