DR.. Shaw
Asks Information

Mrs. Arthur Dodge, the pres
ielent of the National Anti-Suf-
frage Association, has of late
been criticising the sufragists for
raising money to carry on their
work. especially for making the
Melting Pot" appeal for gold
and silver, to help win the west
ern campaigns. Mrs Dodge pro-
nounces the sufragists selfish, and
other ants" have urged that in
these dreadful war times, the
sufragists should devote them
selves exclusively to Red Cross
work. whereupon DR.. Shaw in
quired with interest as to whether
the antisuffragists were planning
to close their own headquarters,
and call back their speakers from
the Campaign States. But at
last accounts, the anti workers
were still in the field.

Catholic Opinions
On Suffrage

The following opinions of en-
inent Catholics on the suffrage
question. sent here by Father
kowlowski, assistant bishop of
Milwaukee. are most encouraging
to the workers for the cause and
of general interest.
His Eminence Patrick Francis
Moran, late cardinal of Australia:
The woman who votes only avails
herself of a rightful privilege
that democracy has gained for her
No longer mere household
chattel, she is reconized as man 8
fellow worker and helpmate, and
credited with the public spirit
and intelligence. AS a mother,
she has a special interest in the
legislation of her country. for up
on it depends the welfare of her
children. She should deem it
one of the grandest privileges Of
her sex that she can now help
to choose the men who will make
the laws under which her child
rem must live. and exert her pur-
er influence upon the political
atmosphere of her time. How
can she sacrifice any dignity by
putting on her bonnet and walk
ing down to the booth? The
men about the booths show the
women every courtesy, the oaici-
ais are anxious to make things
easy for them, and the whole
business of voting does not oc-
cupy more than FIVE minutes.
The women who think she is
making herself unwomanly by
voting is silly creature.
Rt. Rev Bernard ]. McQuaid.
late bishop of Rochester: 1t fills
me with JOY when think of the
many changes that will be
brought about when women
have the right of suffrage. They
will defy the politicians and vote
as any christian man should and
would vote if he had the moral
courage.
Rt. Rev. John Lancaster Spald-
ing, archbishop. Peoria, ILL.,: The
experiment (of woman sufrage)
will be made whatever our theo-
ries and prejudices may be
Women are the most religious,
the most moral, and the most
sober portion of the American
people. and it is not easy to un-
derstand why their influence in
public life is dreaded.
