THE OPEN FORUM.
Further Views on the Subject of
Clerks and the Suffrage Parade.

To the Editor; Some onc signing the
name OF Mary Brinkhurst Smith, writes
ir the Herald: "As the civil service rules
have been In force since 1907. Il seems
strange that one OF the muzzled' has
just discovered that these rules are un-
constitutional The men Nhave obeyed
tnese rules all these years. why should
the suffrasists want to have them
changed now to suit themseIves?''
As understand the civil service rules
The men IN government Offices are barred
frop taxing active part in political cam
paigns, ana Justly so. but they are never
deprived OF their vote, il they care to 20
to their own State to cast it,
The suffrage parade is merely one way
OF demonstrating the fact that these
women who take part believe that thar
sex is entitled to the vote as well a. ,hs
opposite sex. The women who boId this
opinion are of various political be,iefs
as are the men who are government
clerks
Miss Smith states that the pubIic in
terest' demands that the clerks in office
stay at their desks and do the public
work that they are paid for"
II has never occurred to any one here

uses an afternoon of his annual Ieays
to see ball game. a horse race, or to
go fishing.
In view of these facts, II would seen,
that the cause for objection on the par,
- the ''antis'' Is not in reality the fact
tnat the woman clerk would be absent
from her work, but that she participated
In the suffrage parade. 1t would be
rather far fetched to construe the mers
marching in a suffrage Parade. as political
activity. since as yet the women as a
general rule cannot vote
The writer bemoans that 'the anti
sunragists are also deprived of the ac-
tive assistance of some of their most
useful members: but as they believe they
should obey the spirit of the law as well
as the letter. they have given I'D all ac-
tive work that can possibly be construed
TO come under the rules"
Such docile compliance with tn. "sniri,
as well as the letter of the law" ~
such were in reality the meaning of the
rules. would be commendable w.rs that

so-called "antis."

The condition of the 1914 yield Of
