PREJUDICE

We little realize how. much OF the
lack Of progress that blinds peo-
pie is due to an adhesion to long
established situations having no con-
nection with reason or study.
There has been q century long
fight In this country for equal suf-
frage. Its opposition is based who'll
ly on custom and not Judgment or
justice. But when the new Russian
movement got under way. strange as
II may seem to US. the matter Of
equal voting rights for women was
taken for granted. The Russians
had nothing to unlearn; no tradi-
tions to get rid Of: no deep-seated
bias to overcome.
Such prejudice can be conquered
in time. but It is an uphill struggle
