Woman May Lose oHIce-Why7

Miss Anita Grish, a young social
worker, who In six months has revolu-
tionized Jersey City's poor depart
ment, has incurred the enmity Of poll.
t~icians, who are making determined
efforts to get rid Of her and put a man
In her place. Miss Grish cut the list
OF recipients Of relief nearly 80 per
cent. She investigated each Ease and
found many who had received free
coal were Of real estate, while
others received comfortable incomes
from boarders.
In abandonment involving the
support Of illegitimate children Miss
Grish prosecuted regardless Of politi-
cal affiliations or family connections
of the offenders. She created a SEN
sation by haling a prominent physi-
clan to court on complaint of a wom-
an who had a child dependent on her.
and only last week secured the convic-
ton of a member Of the fire depart
ment and had him put under bond to
support a child until 1t should become
of age.
The only charge that the opposition
Is able to bring against Miss Grish is
that she Is not a resident Of Jersey
City. Incidentally. she is not a voter.

GOV. HODGES LAUOED
THE KANSAS WOMEN

Few women on the Kansas side
knew Just how valuable the Kansas
women were In the administration Of
state affairs until they heard Gov.
Hodges speak at the Wyandotte Coun-
ty Democratic Women's picnic yes
terday at the city park. The governor
told of the effective work women in
stale positions are doing, and said
they were even more able than the
men they succeeded.
The governor. who Is an ardent ad.
yocate Of woman's suffrage, has ap-
pointed many women TO office.
I'VE have appointed 81 women upon
boards and at the heads OF state In
stitutions." the governor said. and
We did not require a law compelling
US to do so. We have q woman super.
lntendent at the school for the deaf,
a wOman superintendent at the school
for the blind, the only two instltu.
tons Of a like character In the United
States that have women superintend-
ents, and they are doing their work
far more effectively than the men who
preceded them.
I'VE have a woman superintendent
of the orphans home, and she Is Civ.

the delicate sensibility of motherhood,

"We have women upon the state

OF the most potent forces upon that
board. and has helped to bring about
a changed condition In the great
schools of our state.
Every department over which a
woman presides In this state is being
conducted in a more efficient manner
than under the administration of the
men whom they succeeded. The ad-
ministratiye air is rarefied:
