A woMANMADE WORLD?

Mrs Belmont chairman Of the women voters conven-
tion in san Francisco advised women to form no aIi-
with amy existing mans political party'-which
good adyce-and then proceeded with this dubious
proposition:
"The union Of this ssterhood of women voters is the
power politically the near future For twenty cen
turtles you led to believe your work was to
patch up the evils terminated by socaed civza-
ton. It is time for us women to have civilization Of
our own"
Is it at an likely that purely woman,mado ciyliza-
tion would be any better than the present makeshift
which contemptuously treferred to as man.made?
Certainly it would be superior in some important re-
spects. where prejudice or ignorance or neglect
has bockadod human progress But when it comes to
organizing one into political party whose program
is remake the world in disregard of the other sexs
needs or wishes not only every sensible but every
sensible woman must see the folly Of it, Even if the
thing could be done-and of course it cant-it would
mean disaster No sex not even the feminine, can re-
mould the world and perfect human society It takes
both.
These extreme femnists had better back to Tenny-
SON who wise as well as poet. and who
made "The Princess" say, half century before this
feminist movement broke out:
'Henceiorh thou hast helper me that know
The woman's cause is mems; they rise or sink
Together, dwarted or g0dlike, bond free
Vet in the long years liker must they grow;
The man be more of woman. she o man:
lie gain in sweetness and i'm moral height
Nor lose the wrestling thew- that throw the world;
She mental breadth, fail in childward care
Nor lose the chldlike in the larger mind
Till az the last she set herself to man
Like noble music unto noble words
Then comes She statelier Eden back to- men:
Then springs the GROWING race of humankind"
If women are to have the franchise universally lei
us have no mems parties and women's parties moi
any petty bargaining by male female factions but
such noble cooperation Tennyson portrays, in the
big, complex task Of lettering the world

playing on the porch one afternoon,
while her father and one of his friends
were enjoying a smoke and having a
chat on political matters They paid
no attention to the little girls pres

That evening Elsie appeared to be
unusually silent and thoughtful When
bedtime came, and she knelt down to
say her prayers, there came the usual
petitions, and then, with a slight
pause, she resumed in a very earnest
