en- women would raise their S

Nine out of ten women would raise their
hands in horror at thought of being ma
rooned on a desert island for as long as
thirty minutes, with only the Congress
sional Record for reading matter. Not
so Mrs. Charles Russell Davis. The wife
Of Representative Davis. of Minnesota
reads the Record with as much zest as
the average woman follows the fortunes
of the heroine in the latest novel. She
can extract romance from a printed
speech on a tariff schedule. Other po-
litical subjects, which are to most femi-
nine minds impenetrable. she finds as
limpid and transparent as a clear brook
on sunny day. There are few women
in public life in Washington who have as
keen political acumen as has Mrs. Davis.
She has mind which, in its masculine
grasp Of politics, craftsmanship and pub
lie questions. is one of the best arsu-
ments any one can conceive of in behalf
Of woman suffrage, yet she is not suf-
fragist.
I'VE all realize" she says. that equal
suffrage is inevitable. There will be no
opposition In this country, at least. for
midable enough to stop it. But for my
part, / own l do not see in woman's
scheme of life any place for the ballot.
The physical fact of motherhood must
always initiate against her activity and
her usefulness in politics Her own home.
her own problems. her own work, she has
not been able to organize and to promote
efficiently. Then, too. women have not
yet developed a sense of proportion. The

seriousness with which they take the
small things of life; their strife over the
unessentals, indicates that they are not
yet ready to cope with the large problems
of government"
Whatever may be the outcome Of the
equal suffrage question, however, it will
hold no bitterness for Mrs. Davis. She is
one of those women whose philosophy
will always keep her on the sunny side
of life. Her Zest for politics and the
ready comprehension which she brings to
any discussion of national issues are per-
haps as much the result of her childhood
training as Of her eleven years of public
life in Washington
Her father. Aaron Haven of Chicago,
was the close friend and admirer of Ste
phen A. Douglas and spent fortune try
ing to elect him President. To this day
Mrs. Davis can remember some of the
hot debates between Douglas and Lincoln,
to which she listened as d little girl
Mrs. Davis Is an active member of the
Congressional Club, and is one of the
women whose enthusiasm and executive
ability have contributed no little to the
success Of the organization. Next to her
congressional interests, the work of the
Daughters of the American Revolution
holds first place in her affections. She Is
always a prominent figure at the ma
tional conventions of that body and has
given years to patriotic work At pres
ent she Is chairman of the D. A. r. COM
mittee on legislation in Congress- and is
also member of five other important
