MISS PAUl'S POSITION.

The policy OF the Congressional Union.
Miss Alice Paul tclcsraphcd the Woman S
Forum from Washington. lis 20 ask the
party in power to pass through Congress
Va constitutional amendment enfranchisinS
women. and TO hold that party responsible
at the polls for its answer. We are now
asking the Democratic party 10 take
favorable action on the suffrage amend
ment. and expect they will recognize the
justice and oxpediency of doing so. The
amendment is at this moment before the
Judiciary Committee in the House-a COM
mittce Of vcutl -one members OF whom
fourteen arc Democrats. We look 70 this
committee entirely controlled by Demo
cratic votes. for prompt and favorable
report on our measure.
This policy is enlarged upon by Miss
Lucy Burns i'm "The Woman's Journal
for February ~ She saws in part;
Tho point OF difference between the
policy Of the national association and the
Congressional union is that they hold in
dlyidual Congressman OF all parties re-

amendment: VIC hold the party in po"e'
responsible for the passage Of the fedora

They Must Be Protected.

In 1880 the medical students at Harvard pctuoned
against opening the medical school TO women, on the
ground that whenever a woman should prove herself
capable OF an intellectual achievement this latter would
cease to constitute honor for the men who had pre-
yously priced it,
Their wisdom is shown by letter in The New
York Times from DR.. Mall Of Johns Hopkins, who
SAYS: This year shall graduate in medicine eighty
men and ten women; two men and tour women are
leading the class.
The TACT that 40 per cent OF the women and only "a
per cent OF the men arc among these leaders would midi
cac that men no longer prize leadership.

MRS. M'CoRMIcKs STATEMENT.

THE National American Woman Suf.
frage Association has maintained in
Washington for the last forty years as
one Of its standing committees the Con.
gressional committee. The purpose Of th,
committee is 10 promote legislation in
Congress favorable to woman suffrage.
The political policy OF this committees
that OF the National American Woman
Suffrage Association adopted at their an
nual convention at Philadelphia in lsis
which is strictly non partisan pciirv
BY non partisan it means that We hoid
the individual responsible and not the
party for their action i'm Congress IN re-
gard 20 womans suffrage. The National
Association believes. ow that tho women
arc voting i'm ten states. that woman's
suffrage has become national political
issue and that VIC are now justified in
enlargnS and developing the national
Congressional work in proportion 20 the
growth OF the movement. We therefore
have enlarged both tho work and the
membership OF this committee and have
divided its activities into tho four follow
-
ganization and campaigns.
"Lobby-The policy OF tho lobby at
Washington. i'm working with the mem.
bers OF Congress. is one Of argument and
education
"Pubcty-rhe publicity department not
only furnishes the state suffrage assocla-
tons with the national news Of the SUI
able, through this department. 10 dis
seminate information in regard 10 tn.
work OF Congress and it's general activity
on the humanitarian measures which d.
rectly affect the home, the women and
the children OF this country.
"Organization-Each state organization
has elected A Congressional chairman 10
work on an organization committee FOR
the purpose Of organizing the women Of
each state, using the Congressional dis
trict as a unit. We feel that II is impera-
tive for the success of our cause not
only TO educate the Congressman and
Senators at the Capitol in Washington.
but TO keep the constituents Of these
men I'm close touch with their representa-
tiyes in order to bring before the country
I'm tho most direct manner the amount
OF strong and growing sentiment exciting
all over the country to-day to give
women their political freedom.
"Campaigns-The Congressional com
mittce during the spring will select the
most important districts whore We feel
the Representatives in Congress have not
fulfilled their duty IN representing the
suffrage sentiment existing m their de-
tricts, and i'm such districts We will enter
into vigorous and active campaign
against these individual men. whether
they be Republicans, Democrats. Proeros'
sives or Socialists. and do our utmost 10
defeat them
