The Draft Boards.

How can and why should fixed rules
govern draft boards in their decisions
on individual cases? Is It not their
province to use judgment and mercy
in the application of general rules?
Are they not to give applicants for
exemption the benefit of their own
doubt? Is it not their prerogative to
interpret "dependent"o How can they
the controlling force, the court OF last
resort?
Boston papers publish the following
The sentiment of every district
hoard member" said DR.. Harrington,
is, I am sure, opposed to the drafting
of any man who has wife and chill
dren depending en- him for support.
AS a matter of fact, believe every
consideration will be given to every
married man with dependent children,
whether or not his earnings are his
only income.
The agreement Of the conference as
given out in the formal statement is
sued Tuesday night is merely a sum-
mary of the views held by the district
board members. It doesn't bind any
of the district boards to any policy,
nor is it intended as method of pro-
cedure to be followed by local boards.
Its real meaning may not be exact
ly clear, due to the natural impossible
ity Of covering such a complex sub
ject within the limits of a short and
formal statement. The purpose Of the
statement is merely to suggest a uni
form policy to be followed by local and
district boards. Again I say that
don't believe a man with a dependent
wife and children will be called into
service by any district board"
In the first draft let the entire list
of ten million men be raked over, if
necessary, to secure physically fit, I'M
married men without dependents.
That is the public demand. The next
draft may not be needed, but If it is,
we shall have had experience and
will know better how to proceed.

Woman Voters First Job.

A refined and beautiful lady, widely
known for her opposition to the suf-
frage cause, called upon the editor one
day and, in the course of converse
ton, expressed her surprise that
man os SUCH strong, clear mind
should support the suffrage movement.
Compliments were passed, and OF
course the editor found it difficult to
disagree with his fascinating caller.
Blu, she said: You andI know what
sort Of atmosphere is found in some of
the ward polling places of even our
Maine cities, could you imagine Me
going into such a place to cast my
BALLOT"
And then the editor found himself.
for he very earnestly replied:
mo, indeed. Mrs. -, I shudder at
the suggestion. But therein lies my
hope. would have the refining influ
ence of such as you are to me and to
other men, felt in every polling place
in our land. would have the polling
place a place where you could go at
any hour as you would enter your pew
on Sunday. but where the brawllng,
peace disturbing buns and plug
uglies could not go except in an en-
tirely respectable and respectful man
rer, as THEY would enter church or
any other public hall where decency Is
demanded and promoted.
Il would have YOUR influence, Mrs
-, so felt that no longer would ANY
polling place be a source of regret and
shame to me or to any other man.
Other public places in our State are so
policed as to be entirely respectable.
and there is no reason (other than
dirty politics on the part Of all politi-
cal parties. why polling places should
resemble a Wild West saloon.
Il know that these conditions could
not continue if women were given the
ballot. Mrs. -, and l am convinced

and other women of Maine.
Your expression of conviction. Mrs.
-. on this one great question con-
vinces me that you would have very
decided and incisive opinions on all
important public questions. You could
express your convictions by letter or
by public address. as you have done,
would It be more onerous duty to
express those opinions in respectable
public place by marking a sheet of
paper called a ballot? Why all this
nonsense about the imaginary hide

10 the act of voting that any woman
should shrink therefrom?
Your chief argument, Mrs. -, or
az least the principal excuse offered by
the anti-suffrage propaganda, has
been that 'woman's place is in the
home yet you are wasting more time
and energy away from your homes in
opposition to voting than you would
expend in a thousand years of 'vot-
ing'-and vote against voting
counts.
1T Is our business. Mrs. -, in the
interest Of purer politics and cleaner
communities to see that women have
an opportunity TO vote on equal foot
ing with men. 1t must be your busi-
ness to see that the atmosphere Of
polling places is so cleansed that YOU
and my wife can go to them without
blush or regret"
