Woman's Suffrage, Frying Pan Leap

State, came this announcement last
month:
Women assisted yesterday in keep
ing Redondo Beach wet They
polled one-half of the votes in the
initiative election regarding the abo-
lition of saloons. The dry element
was defeated by a vote of S29 to 634.'
Pasadena went "wet," ably assisted
by women voters, and SO 1t goes; yet
one of woman's strongest appeals for
the suffrage has always been based
upon her declaration that by the use
of the ballot she can and will give
us countrywide prohibition.
A few months ago | was asked by
vote seeker of Newark:
do you for one moment imagine
that such places as those naming
two of the city's most gilded resorts,
! shortly after raided, would be per-
mitted to exist If we. the mothers of
daughters, were allowed to vote?'
There are mothers with daughters
in Denver. and places unspeakably
worse are tolerated there. Only about
year ago the Denver News disgust
eddy declared:
"The most openly disreputable
quarters in the civilized world are
located In Denver"
nestly the fact that one of the city's
high schools was located on the edge
of this unsavory district, where
young and innocent pupils--the
daughters, many OF. them, of those
Denver women voters. must view the
most brazen Haunting of social vices
daily as they went to or returned
from school.
But with her head in the clouds the
vote hunter ecstatically prattles OF
| the great day when her sex "shal
stand free, her chains and shackles
| decentralization at her feet" ignor-
Ing. the comfortable fact that that
decent male mongrel person. to7wit.
| the American man, has already not
only released her from her chains
and shackles. but has also, with po'
| lite consideration. removed them u
the scrap heap of oblivion. that she
| may not be annoyed by even th'
| sight of them.

and unhappiness, but also a large
part of the immortality and crime in
| this country, is due to the influence
of the ostentatious Haunting of wealth
in the faces of those who are less
favored, 1t is a powerful undermin-
ing force in our civilization.
The mere possession of money does
not give one the right to debauch his
fellows, or to set an example which
will make them disconnected, unhap-
by, and tempt them to strain to keep
I'D an appearance of wealth at the
possible sacrifice of their integrity
and virtue.
Disclosures in recent divorce suit
| in one of our large cities call forcible
attention to the insane rivalry among
wealthy Americans to Guido one an
other in dress and luxurious living.
The wife who was suing in this in
stance, maintained that a woman in
her position required from $4,000 to
$4,000 a year for dress alone, and
that this was a comparatively small
item in the cost of maintaining her
household. She stated, on the wit
ness stand, that no society woman
could afford to appear twice in the
same hotel; that if she did she would
be Sin very bad FORM" She also
stated that it was necessary to
change her clothing. completely, three
times a day, and that many women
change, throughout, four times day
Another society woman says that
she spends from 100000 to S150,O00 a
year on her wardrobe; that she has
many dresses that cost $1,000 each,
| and that her shoes, the leather for
which is imported and dyed to match
the dresses with which they are worm
cost $50 a pair.
IT is not so much the purpose OF the
author to condemn the rich for their
wicked extravaganza, as to point Out
the demoralizing influence of their
vicious example upon those who can
not afford either luxurious dress or
| living.
Some wealthy people attempt to
| Justify their eXtravagance on the
ground that 1t gives employment to
| a great many. No greater delusion
| ever crept into a human brain than
that wanton extravaganza is justi-
fed on the ground that it gives en-
ployment, for the demoralizing and
debauching influence of it all, upon
those uselessly employed, Infinitely
outweighs any possible good IL may
accomplish.
1t is true that many poor women
girls. and children are enabled &c

spending years of precious time and
energy working upon a piece OF lace

gown TO be worn only once or twice

To one opportunity the Democratic

However. that Is but one of the
incidents. That relates to general
ship. What is perhaps better worth
a reminder is the position in which
Mr.. Mccall found himself soon after
he became president of the Public
Service Commission. The treatment
to which his predecessor had been
subjected was more than ungracious.
1t would nave cost little or nothing
to have permitted him to remain In
office long enough to take in the cele-
brations the part that he had earned
OF that due he was suminarily de-
prived.
Mr. Mccall was more than equal to
the situation thus created. He more
than fulfilled every expectation. When
1t came to the matter of awarding
credit, he interposed nothing but dis
Chalmers And one OF the results was
that he began to divide the honors
with Mr.. Wilcox, not because he had
contributed to subway successes, but
because of the magnanimity he dis
played. In short. he made an admir-
able start in official life. In no better
way could the modification of Mr..
Wilcox have been mitigated.
After that, OF course, much was ex-
pected. 1t was natural to suppose that
q canvass for the mayoralty would de-
velop kindred characteristics. Notb-

Immediately after his nomination Mr..
Mccall began to pay the penalties in
variably accruing to a Tammany
candidate. At once he became q tar

bad tempered. Those who assailed
him used harsh language. but he de-
veloped resources of that sort of his
own. Indeed, he resorted to the use
of terms far from compatible with his
antecedents and In anything but har-

During the period when Napoleon
was emperor Madame Junot held the
most brilliant salon in Paris, where
she gathered the leading military and
literary lights of the empire, and aft
er the fall of the empire she pub

cial success. Madame Junot had one
overtowering fault She was waste
fully extravagant, probably the most
extravagant woman in Paris at the
time. This fault made her extremely
unpopular with the people, and in the
end brought her to restitution, SO
that in her old age and at the time
of her death she was an inmate of
