Women Do
Light Voting
THOSE LoupEsT IN DEMAND FOR
BALLOT FAIL TO VOTE
m ILLINOIS.

CHICAGO. July 1S.-ln three loca
elections throughout Illinois since IN;
passage OF the woman suffrage bill
less than 10 per cent of the women
have taken advantage OF their RICH,
to tie ballot. Lack OF interest In To-
cal conditions is attributed as the
cause by the suffrage leaders. 1t Is
declared, however, that when the wo.
men see the advantage TO be gained
by voting the returns will show q
larger percentage of women voters.
In the most recent election. in &c.
neva, ILL.,, where the women had ad.
vocated the establishment OF .r..
kindergarten In tn, town. there were
only $50 out Of 600 clubwomen who
went to the polls. and the kindergar
ten measure was defeated.
1t was said that women who had
been loudest in their demands for
the right to vote were the ones when
the time came who failed to appear.
All manner OF excuses we're offered
by the scores OF women who were
urged to go to the polls. Some believ.
ed that the polling places would be
visited by women in tea gowns and
refused to go even when they were
called for with automobiles This has
been the attitude of the women in
all of the elections that have been
held since the passage of the suffrage
bill.

First comes the fail girl graduate
So full OF lore and zeal,
Who woes and errors of the world
Doth very keenly feel
And starts out on a great career,
DlsdaInlng selfish thought,
To bring that world back to a place
With bliss and uplift fraught.
So soon she is a suffragette.
Devoted to the cause,
With poverty and misery
To drive away by laws:
She scorns young girlhood's foolish
Joys
To list the stern demand
For workers in the social ranks
And lend helping hand.
How ends the tale? The usual way:

DO social wrongs abide:
