While / by no means find this dis

surprising that almost invariably it is

in life afterward, and have seen the
difference between the type that is

CARDS as call to service and the
tyne that remains intent upon personal
qualification and privilege. | repeat
that this distinction applies only to the
younger women, who in these days are
under the necessity of forming their
opinion on the suffrage question at the
time when they are settling their gen
eral attitude toward life, and has
made me an ardent believer in the
movement as part OF the general
awakening Of women, which is not, as

believe that giving the vote TO the
women OF this city will result in
greater permanency for the reforms
that are so greatly needed in the great
questions OF housing. sanitation and
hygiene: that the women OF this city
are. after all. much the same type as
the women throughout the country:
and this attitude OF mind in regard to
the communities needs for the care Of
children applies to all women. Their
desire for definite expression in regard
10 the needs OF community life is an
entirely legitimate one. Their part in
government would supplement and not
suppant that of the men.
Men and women are essentially Diff
ferent. and IL is because Of this dif-
ference that the point Of view OF each
should be registered in government
There should be an expression OF opin-
ion from every part OF citizenship
that is governed. This is the essential
basis Of a democracy.
Motherhood needs an expression
greater than that involved in bearing
child. Some OF the womeI. suffragists
have a slogan which seems to me TO
express this need of women. IL is:
We give the children to the world;
why not let us help 10 prepare the
world for the children?"

for Women at Bedford
By KATHARINE BEMENT DAVIS.
~OMETHING less than one hun
dred years ago Elizabeth Fry.
~ young English woman Of cult
ure belonging 10 the Society OF
Friends. began work in the prison Of
Newgate which was far in advance
of her time. Many Of the measures
which she advocated as a result of
the conditions which she found among
prisoners. and especially among the
women prisoners. have only lately
been realized. Some of the conditions
against which she struggled are still
to be found among the prisoners OF her
country and of the United States.
Supervision OF women by men. lack OF
classification and idleness are still TO
be found in prisons all over the land
Prison reform has always been
subject which appeals to women. The
Women's Prison Association OF New
York is an example of what has been
accomplished by women without the
vote. After hard struggle they sue
ceeded in establishing the State Re-
formatory at Bedford. For three
years in succession bills for the estab-
lishment of this reformatory were In
troduced in the Legislature at Albany
and were rejected It was only when
Mrs Abby Hopper Gibbons, then more
than ninety years old, travelled to AL
bany and appeared before joint COM
mittee that the measure was carried.
The womanliness and personal charm,
the courage and motherliness Of this
venerable lady won all hearts and car
ried through the bill. This has been
the traditional method by which wom-
en- have won the measures which they
advocate.

conditions. they have no outdoor exer-
else. They have no industrial train
ing. and IL is a question whether they
are not worse when they have COM
pleted their term in the Workhouse
than they were before. do not wish
to allegc that I believe none OF these
conditions would exist II women had
suffrage do believe, however. that
women, whether they belong to the
leisure class. to the great body of self
supporting women or even TO those
lower down in the social scale. would
be more readily reused 10 action in the
direction Of reforms than an equal
number OF men. Perhaps this would
be because Of their newness TO the po-
litical situation and OF their nearness
10 the appeal Of human problems on
which their interest is likely to centre
at first.
We need not only the intelligent In
terest Of women but the backing OF
the ballot TO secure immediate results.
Had we all the charm Of Barrieis
I.eonora we should only need TO APP
pear before the Board OF Estimate
or the Board of Aldermen. Unfortu-
nately, Leonora is only one In thou
sand, but put the ballot into the hands
OF the ordinary woman and she has
weapon far more powerful than charm.
In the last analysis il is public opin-
ion which counts. do not believe the
ballot for women is going TO bring
about the millennium. II has not come
in the United States through all our
years Of democracy, and God Al
mighty made the women TO match the
men" But We cannot afford to ig-
more the woman's point OF view. With
the ballot in the hands OF women We
have double the number and more
than double the variety OF the mat
teriaI on which 10 draw.
There is no special way in which |
believe that suffrage for women will
help the cause of prison reform In
greater measure than in matters OF
health. and in assisting the upward
trend of affairs in civic matters gen.
orally. But I believe that the worn-
ems vote will be the tool which will
hasten the day when penal institutions
can be a matter Of pride. rather than
a reproach to our citizens.
