SUFFRAGE NOTES

Women have voted In Chicago and
the city still stands. Also the millen-
MUM has not yet ONE in the windy
city. None of the ONE candidates
for aldermen were elected. But the inn
portant fact about the election Is that
while s~eyenty-two per cent of the men
h were registered voted seventy
three per cent of the registered women
voted. The women. will yote--at least
In Chicago. Therein lies the triumph
Of the Chicago election for the suffrage
cause. ~
Incidentally sixteen counties in I'LL
nois went dry" for the first time that
day: II the figures prepared by the
have no reason to suppose that they
are not, the women had a great deal
more to do with this result than did
the men. Altogether a ~thoroughiy
h believe In suffrage.
Helen Ring Robinson in her article,
On Being a Woman Senator, published
in The Independent for April 20 says:
THE only remarkable thing about a
woman state senator Is that any one
should think the fact Of her being a
state senator remarkable. Certainly
when lawmakers began to decree how
many weeks each year our children
must attend school n what must be
done with their adenoids. when legis-
with their pure food laws--and inn
pure God laWa--When government be-
came only a high-sounding name for
city housek eeping and state house
keeping, then the time had surely come
for women's invasion of state legisla-
lures, not merely as lobbyists, but as
lawmakers. We women were due in
state senates because u woman's job
was there ahead of us.
So far az the public expression of
their opinions is concerned. women are
already on a perfect equality with men.
They may speak on public platforms,
they may sign petitions, they may par
ade the streets. they may lecture be-
fore crowds. they may write for news
papers. they may freely use every dee
vice for giving publicity to their per-
sonaities. They may perform all the
acts of citizenship which are obstrus-
i've. They are. denied the one method
of expressing opinion and using in-
fuence which ts unobstrusive and inn
personal. namely, the secret ballot. IT
is as it a person were told that he could
say whatever he wished over the tele-
phone, or shout liz from the street CORN
ers, but he must not express his opin-
ion In a. sealed letter through the malls.
