In his recent tour in Ian .lsh,rc Mr..
Asquth referred To his long Term and
the stormy times that his government

an almost continuous fight. tiading

The Justice and Expedlency
of Woman Suffrage
By Maud Nathan.

sidered Legislators defer to their
constituents, who have the power to
re-elect them to Office or to defeat
them.
The trend of modern activities
makes it expedient to enfranchise
women. One by one woman's duties
have been taken away from her and
placed in charge of city and State
officials, appointed by the Mayor or
Governor, who are elected by the
votes of men. Every department of a
woman's household is regulated or
controlled by officials more or less
involved in politics. To procure pure
milk for the babies, pure drinking
water, meat from non-tuberculosis
cattle, poisonous canned foods,
the housekeeper must depend upon
the efficiency and incorruptibility OF
the various commissioners. She also
depends upon the Fire, Police and
Street Cleaning Departments to pro-
tect her home.

What Suffrage Is
Doing in Illinois.
BY CATHERINE WAUGH M'cUL
LOCB.

The Illinois suffrage law is one Of
the most popular ever passed in our
State. The law only went into effect
July 1, 1918, and SO no great number
of elections will occur till April, 1914.
In the few elections held, women
have voted for the moral measures,
for the better candidates, for gen.
crosby in public expenditures. as well
as economy.
At the first Council meeting after
the passage of the law, Mayor Harri-
son. of Chicago, recommended the
appointment of ten policewomen to
guard girls at bathing beaches and
dance halls. This had been petitioned
for by ballotless women vainly for
years. The Mayor now needed the re-
quests of voting women.
1t is everywhere admitted that the
women forced the return of Mrs. Ella
Flagg Young to her place as super
intendent of Chicago schools and a
better solution Of the garbage ques-
ton.

How Women Drove
Gamblers from Cheyenne.
By D. W. GILL,
Mayor of Cheyenne, Wyo.

Women voters of Cheyenne did
something that the men didn't have
the nerve to do-they stopped open
gambling in Cheyenne. l will tell you
how they did it.
Open gambling had been carried on
in Cheyenne ever since the city start
ed. The Wyoming Legislature passed
law in 1901, which took effect in
February, 1902, prohibiting gambling.
This law was enacted more through
the interest the women voters took in
the matter than from any other
source, and still the law was not en-
forced.
In the fall election of 1904, I ran
for Mayor, and w, B. Ross ran for
County and Prosecuting Attorney on
the Democratic ticket, AS about one
third Of the Cheyenne voters were
Democrats and about thirds were
Republicans, l had no idea of being
elected. My opponent on the Repub-
lican ticket was a member of the 1901
Legislature and voted against the bill
prohibiting gambling. made IL
promises, although it was known that
personally l did not favor gambling.
On the other hand, Mr.. Ross made his
campaign against gambling. Mr.. Ross
and myself were elected.
It was the women vote which elect
ed us. 1 received probably. thres-
fourths of the Cheyenne women vote

Pastor Line Gives
Suffrage "Becauses."

BY HED n LIINEt
Pastor First Universalist Church.

Pastor FIRST OntNeTSdISr OnuTCHs
The question of equal suffrage, 1t
seems to me, is essentially a moral
question. The issues involved are
moral issues, not political. Woman's
right to the ballot should not be
questioned by thoughtful and sincere
persons.
Woman is interested in all OF those
great questions which are before the
American people to-day-child slav-
cry, the white slave traffic, pure food,
school facilities, factory inspection,
city sanitation, the great white
plague, sex hygiene, working condi-
lions, social causes of disease, peace
and arbitration.
We believe in woman suffrage be-
cause we are apostles OF social JUS
tice, a square deal for every man,
woman and child; because we desire
that the energies of our race shall be
conserved; because we desire that
women shall not be crowded to the
wall in the struggle for existence, but
shall be given a chance to live with
all that the term implies; because we
desire that children shall be privileged
to develop according to the tenden-
cies and proclivities of childhood; be-
cause we are opposed to the long
working day for woman, the unjust
compensation, the disregard for

Many Kansas Reforms
Are Due to Suffrage.
BY JESSIE WRIGHT WHITcoMR,
Attorney at OK

No election has been held in Kan
sas since our women received the full
ballot, so It is impossible to point out
direct political results of the extended
suffrage at this time.
In addition to this, our women have
always had a modified and gradually
extended ballot, and many of the re-
forms so much desired by women in
other States have been won and pre-
served
We have in Kansas State wide pro-
hibition, which, in itself, has prevent
ed a large share of the evils falling
to women's lot in liquor States. That
prohibition has been continued and
that the law has been as satisfacto-
rily enforced as it has Is generally
admitted to be due largely to women's
municipal vote.
