RUSSIA TAKES Up
WOMAN QUESTION
o.
Many Meetings Are Held and
Even Matter of Voting Is
Discussed.

St Petersburg. April IS-Interest in
the women's question is growing rapidly
in Russia, and during the winter a large
number Of meetings have been held In
ST. Petersburg. with the object OF advo-
, eating the claims OF women to a greater
share in the conduct Of public affairs
The claim TO the vote is discussed fire.
Iuently. but since Russian conditions are
especially unfayorable to the extension
Of the franchise TO women. the political
issue usually is treated merely as a phase
in the general question OF the enlarge
ment Of the area Of women's work for
social betterment.
At a IargeIy-attended meeting Nine. A.
Tyrkova, a well-knOWn novelist and one
Of the leaders Of the women's movement,
stated briefly the aims and ideals OF
Russian women in the present state Of
their conflict.
Nine. TyTkova pointed out that for
many years Russian women had been in
a privileged position as compared with
their Western sisters In matters of
property they had enjoyed considerable
independence. and higher education had
been secured for wOmen in Russia long
before it had been acquired in most of
the countries Of Western Europe. In the
struggle for political reform women
fought side by side with men. on Also
lutely equal terms
But the very privilege enjoyed by Rus
sian women had given them a false sense
Of security. They were disinclined to re-
gard the wOmen's question as especially
interesting to them. They forgot that
they were the heirs Of a worldwide, age
long tradition OF inferiority which was
wildly illustrated in the customs of saw
age tribes in relation to women. But
with the relaxation OF political oppression
the wOmens question rad forced itself to
the front in Russia
Nine. TyTkOva pointed to the English
suffrage movement as an illustration OF
the straights TO which the best women
We're driven in a highly civilized society.
when the conception of the essential in
feriOrity Of women was embodied in an
intricate network of usage and custom.
She also pleaded for a more reasonable
and tolerant attitude 10 the English sur

quantly condemned wholesale.
SufraGism. she said. was a warning
that Russian women must organize and
intelliG entity review Their own position.
More especially, she urged they must
remember that modern civilization. with
its liberation of women, was producing
two types-One the richly developed Wom-
an, who was mistress OF her fate, and
used her energies for the highest social
purposes; and the other socially de-
Structive type. who used her liberty for
the purpose of external display and the
qualification Of the haser instincts.

SCORES BILL AIMED
At STOCK EXCHANGE

The New York Stock Exchange, at
which Senate bill 1895 is directed. is the
best conducted stock exchange in the
world. Under its rules a trade is con-
summated by ideal competition between
all the buyers and all the sellers at the
same time. Indeed, the condition of per
feet competition which modern legisla-
tiOn is trying to establish in all branches
OF trade has been obtained on that eX-
change. 1t seems incredible, then. that
Congress should attempt to destroy in
one line Of business what it is attempting
To establish in others, namely, compe-
tition. says the Providence Tribune.
The New York Stock Exchange does no
business; il is only a market place. 1t
has no private transactions among its
members: through its ticker service the
whole world knows instantly when a
trade is made. and in that way the pub
lie is protected. But II the bill now
pending in the Senate becomes a law,
though trade consummated on a street
corner or from Office to office, where no
public record could possibly he publish
ed Of such transactions, would he per
fectIy proper and legal as il is now. the
general result would be commercial
chaos.
The question raised by this bill is
whether the stock exchanges. uuhampered
by Congress. are to continue to serve
thu public in their present efficient man
ner. The author OF the bill must know
that Congress has no authority to in
tcrfere with a business not engaged in
interstate or foreign commerce. The
members Of stock exchanges are already
just as amenabIe to the laws OF the land
q are other persons. and a prohibited
act is just as unlawful on the stock ex-
changes as elsewhere.
II what is really sought is protection
Of the public. Congress should enact
law exercising some authority over the
issuance of securities through some prop
erlv accredited agency like the Inter
state Commerce Commission: IL should
not impose this on the stock exchanges.
