In the Woman's Department artic-
les OF women's handiwork in tex

in competition for prizes. The
Woman's Shop is intended 10 give
an opportunity 10 the ladies OF the
State 10 exhibit their handiwork for

Articles ranging from quilts TO baby

beautiful things that were exhibited
last year were not sold, yet the names
Of the makers were taken by the Wis

THE w0MEN's PARTY
Prom The New York Times


Not much attention has been paid
TO the campaign Of the women's
Party but IL deserves attention. IL
threatens the Republican and Dem
ocratic parties with the votes o. an
organized block o; women. which IL
says will move blindly and with mil
itary precision in whatever direction
IL commands. Most people probably
imagine the Woman's Party 20 be
merely the name Of a new suffrage
association, like those ofwhich there
is legion already. II is not. II is
political party, just as much as the
Republican and Democratic parties
are. II differs from those parties in
two respects. First, IL is composed Of
voters Of only one sex. Second, IL
dominates no candidates; il casts its
votes for or against the candidates
Of the old parties, as its leaders
direct.
II is the arm, the weapon, Of that
suffrage association named the Con-
gressional Union for Woman Suf-
frage. sometimes called the mill
tant wing" Its purpose is single and
definite, the passage Of the Susan Il.
Anthony amendment to the Federal
Constitution. Its threat is that il will
so cast its organized and enrolled
votes as 10 defeat candidates who do
not support and actively work for that
amendment. II has nothing what
ever TO do with the old and compar-
atively conservative suffrage associa-
tons, which il appears to hold in
contempt. They are associations OF
would-be voters, trying TO get the
ballot. II is political party, made
up of women who already vote threat
ening with defeat all candidates who
do not support the Anthony amend
the principle of suffrage
in general. not the granting Of suf-
frage by the States, but an amend
ment to the Constitution which will
force suffrage on States that are OPP
posed TO il as well as on States that
favor il.
II is not content with more indor-
sement of the amendment by candi-
dates; il threatens them with defeat
unless they enter the ranks OF suf-
frage workers. There ae 100000
women voters. or course the Wom-
ems Party will never get them all
in its membership, but il pretends to
control enough to decide the votes OF
many States. Its leaders, Miss Paul
and Miss Carpenter, recently visited
Mr.. Hughes and brandished these
votes over his head. AT the two con-
their lieutenants were busy,
no arguments about suffrage.
simply swinging their club. The
party claims TO have complete or
in every suffrage State,
and in Arizona and Wyoming a COM !
plete organization in every county.
So far as the Woman's Party |
proves its power, so far IL will justify
wen the most extravagant arguments
against woman suffrage. Even the
that il will set one sex
against another, bring about a war
,f sex against sex, in which few OPP

The young man said he'd save
ten bucks and still be up to date.
To get his height from heel to
chin he stood against the door.
To find his size around the waist
he rolled once on the floor. And
then he sent his order off to the
store that sells by mail-that
guarantees a perfect fit if you
only send the kale. But the
pants were just a little short, the
vest a little loose, and the coat
hung like a blanket on an Indian
papoose. And when in wind and
weather the suit began to shrink

went sadly on the blink. His best
