From the Boston Traveller.
Quite naturally the suffragists of
New York are eager to have men of
prominence go on record as being in
favor of the submission of the woman
suffrage amendment to the voters next
fall. While many are said to be de-
claring themselves favorable to sub
mission. the. reply returned by Mayor
Mitchell is one of the most forceful and
Illuminating. He Is classed as having
preferred to give his Endorsement by
inference, first In the appointment of
woman. Katherine B. Davis. as COM
missioner Of correction, and, second
in the statement that ''if women un-
dertake our great social problems with
strength and courage they are bound
to take leadership of affairs. and no
opposition of men can keep them out
of the field of the worlds work"
In the recent Oregon election wom-
an was elected as representative. Now
the governor has appointed another
woman to fill a senatorial vacancy
II they make good" they can doubt
'ess come back" and perhaps bring
other women with them. If they are
not what the people want, the people
will not want them. 1t is the work
being done by women rather than gal
lantry or sentiment that will open the
doors of the world to them.
