ANOTHER INNING FOR WOMEN
sirs. W. H. Ellieolt Saws Sufiragists
Ought To Feel Encouraged.

The advocates of votes for women
are TO have another inning on the
! afternoon Of February 10, when the
Senators and Delegates are TO be ad-
! dressed in the House chamber by re D.
resentatives Of the Just Government
League and the Equal Suffrage
League on the suffrage amendment.
This meeting was arranged for yes
terday afternoon by Delegate Nc
Nabb, of Hartford, who asked that the
aides be allowed the use of the hall
Tor the meeting. Ii was readily
granted. provided the House is not in
session at the time.
The suiFragists are much encouraged
over the prospects Of the suffrage
amendment, and are particularly
pleased with the courteous manner in
which they have beer received by the
members of the Legislature when
hey have come to Annapolis.
Mrs. William M. Ellicott, in speak
ng Of the hearing held yesterday IN
he amendment by ther House and
senate Committee on Constitutional
Amendments, expressed herself as
being encouraged by the int rest and
ability with which the subject was
handled by the chairman, Senator
Ogden, and other members of the
committee, in view Of the tendency
u the Democrats in Washington to
oppose a national amendment.
The legislative committee, she
said, have shown a practical interest
in themselves proposing an educa-
,onal qualification for women, and it
is important TO consider this phase.
no matter how strongly we believe in
the abstract right. Most States which
have obtained full franchise or are
campaign states have had some quail
fed form Of suffrage at first.
Canada, where women vote on
municipal problems from the Atlantic
to the Pacific, first granted this right
70 spinsters and widows only and but
recently extended it to married wo-
men. illinois has just won a partial
victory. Australia experimental in
partial suffrage for generation, but
the first national Parliament gave
luil suffrage, ana norway, sweden
and Denmark all began with a partial
or qualified franchise.
Here in Maryland, where in some
counties the illite-ate colored vote
seems a menace to many people, il is
surely no hardship to accept an edu-
cational qualification which every
woman can meet If she will. At any
rate the Legislative session is rapidly
passing and is congeJted with bills.
There il re time 10 lose and since the
joint committees on constitutional
amendments are 4eriously considering
what will meet the policy of their
party, and also the political aspira-
tions and needs of women, we are
much to be congratulated and should
be much encouraged.
