Romance a Ia Cinderella.

Pretty Miss Edith Mervine of Phil
adelphia is only one of the millions OF
girls who have read the love story of
Cinderella and then dreamed that
their love story might be like unto it.
But Miss Mervine is the one to whom
the wish has been granted.
Two years ago Miss Mervine lost
her slipper at dance at Atlantic City.
Paul A. Kimmins of Charleroi, Pa.
found it on the dance floor. For sew.
eral days the young man tried in vain
to find the owner; he searched every.
where, but his efforts were unsuccess.
full. Finally, by accident, he heard of
a young lady who had lost a slipper at
a dance, and he called at her home
to restore the tiny piece of footwear.
The modern Prince Charming and
the up-to-date Cinderella both under
went the old, old experience of love
at first sight. The fire did not dim,
either, for they were married a few
days ago, and, hidden in the cente,
of the bridal bouquet, was a little
satin slipper.

granting women the suffrage Is fFTsssss===
to be disastrous; that it wOdld be
great injustice TO force suffrage upon
the majority Of women aga inst their
will; that it would be the undesirable
element which would be sure to vote in
our large cities; that the effect of suf-
frage on womap's economic and social
condition would be small; that injustice
to women in the laws has been done
away with without the ballot; that if
women are ignorant slaves as the suf-
fragists maintain, that it is not desir-
able to enfrancise them; and that wo-
mans going into politics will cause her
to lose the consideration no v given her
We think Mr.. Taft mistaken in be-
lieving woman suffrage bound to come
as during the last year it has been de-
feated in 5wenty-four states, and will
undoubtedly be defeated this fall in
Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey,
and Massachusetts. We are much graft
fed with Mr.. Taft's definite statement
that if he were voting in campaign
state this fall he would certainly vote
NO. He says in part:
'sTo regard the privilege and duty OF
voting an inalienable right inseparable
from citizenship, like the right to pro
lection by the Government at home OF
abroad, would lead to absurdity. Or
such theory the suffrage should be
extended to children and babes in arms
1.-The question, then, whether womer
shall be given the suffrage is to be ar
gued and determined on the issue
whether it would be better for the Gov
ernment, for society and for the woner
that they should vote, and not on any s
priori theory that it is-their right.
"The effect of woman suffrage upor
women's economic and social condition
will be comparatively small, because
women as a class are not clearly dis
tinct from the members of the presen
electorate in their pulitical, social anC
economic interests.
"Men and women have so many iden
teal interests and so many opinions il
common that the cleavage between tht
sexes as political classes has not beer
clear or marked. This is why woman
suffrage as practical issue has no
arisen before the present generation.
