WHEN WOMEN ARE MAGISTRATES

To women the whole point of punish
ment is that it should be remedial.
There is no gain if the young offender
feels simply that he has somehow in
Cured parental wrath; it is the trans
gression or omission itself which the in
telgent woman seeks to make definitely
undesirable or inconvenient Thus a
child who is habitually behindhand is
left at home; his wrath and wailings
are of no avail. He will discover that
dilatorlness is anti-social; that he can
not be allowed to spoil others fun A
child who will not play fair" is left out
of the game A child who annoys or
Injuries others is put by himself
Any woman knows as the very A C
of managing children that a healthy,
well-nourished baby is a, good baby;
that child happily occupied is good
child; that boy CT girl with plenty to
do, with a proper balance of work and
play, doesn't "get into trouble; that a
little supervision usually obviates the
need of punishment cupation-suit-
able, enjoyable occupation-work that a
child really likes--this any mother or
any teacher knows is the thing of great
est Importance. Mothers know also
what teachers are likely to forget: that
it is the clever, active, superabundantly
vital child who gets into difficulties,
while youngster who is languid, dull
/. and anamic will almost surely classify
as good" but that the former is far
more likely to amount to something.
Having this habit this training in the
administering of justice, this instinct of
guidance, this idea of bringing out or
seeing what is in the boy or girl that is
of value, women will look at the admin
istering of justice in the city and the
state from different angle than that of
the average male voter.
The woman juror will want to ''know
why will ask how it happened and
whether the boy who stole had had
enough to eat, what his work was
and whether he liked it, and dozens of
other questions which will seem to the
city magistrate quite irrelevant. In his
mind the only question is: Here is the
prisoner; did he or did he not commit
the wrong? No jury of women would
have condemned to the chair SO young
a lad as Paul Chapman or condemned to
the same fate the Russian, John Kush-
nieruck, who was but bit older and

be lenient and kindly in the cases Of
juvenile delinquency, toward another
type of offender she will be adamant.
This is the man who traffics in the food
supply and profiteers in necessities. For
him she will have short shrift And she
vii! not dismiss such cases with a fine
not she. In fact, to the woman citizen
the stock punishments of fine or inn
pr;e0nment will seem even more clumsy
tnan they do to men-as clumsy as if a
surgeon were asked to perform thou
sands of operations and given only
saw and hatchet for the work. She will
tlnd new and interesting remedies.
She would have arrested on the
charge of disloyalty men such as those
who, in Pittsburgh the other dav. were
about to throw away carloads of onions
merely to keep up the price Through
the quick action of Mrs. Taylor. head of
the war garden committee, the food was
saved, some given away, some used for
seed.
But for such offenders woman
magistrate would have an excellent
remedy. First they would have to
learn the golden text which has
been dinned into all our citizens: Food
will win the war Don't waste it," And
then the lady Solomon would send these
men where it is reported some Of our
prisoners of war are to be sent-to the
farm camps. Here, under surveillance,
a man who had thrown away onions
would be made to plant onions, weed
onions, do personal work With a hoe,
week after week through a hot August:
he should harvest and dry onions, too.
So should he learn respect for the hum
bic vegetable and repair the loss he HIM
self had caused After one or two years
of such reeducation he would not be
likely to throw away the results of a
seasons work. While the commission
man was employed in completing his
education a committee of women could
easily be found to do his work.
For the profteer my lady Solomon
would have another remedy. This gen
tleman is even more notably patriotic
than the other, but he doesn't let his
right hand know what his left hand
doeth. He waves the flag with the right.
hand while the other hand is in the
pockets of the community The woman
judge would give him a chance to prove
his patriotism. His is an industry

OF Course There Are
Men Charmers, Too!

Of course. women are not lmpeccable.
God Almighty" says George Eliot,
made 'em to match the men, and
certain type of male offender will prob
ably do his best 10 secure feminine
jury. Solomon himself was not judi
cious where the ladies were concerned,
and a good looking affinity specialist
will probably fare pleasantly enough
with jury of more or less emotionally
unemployed women. The movie hero
and others of that type might be found
to do no wrong. Probably the Legisla-
ture will arrange such matters by in
sisting in such cases on half and half
jury--si3 men, six women. There should
be a thirteenth-a clergyman. The same
rule should apply IN those cases where a
pretty woman is the defendant, to whom
men jurors are notoriously kindly
At all events, it will be interesting to
see what the woman does with her vote
certainly she will do something with it.
Whether, with her passion for cleanli-
ness, she Will succeed in making this dear
old New York of ours into spotless
town remains to be seen. Whether she
will succeed in looking after all the chill

Certainly she will try it.

that the woman furnishes in the home
that are lacking in the city-the care and

Some Women and the
Vote in England
i" Is better 10 & BE f.a.n 44.ss or Mrs. Thar
to Hare a Title If You Want Voice
in Your C0unty'y's Government

petitioned the House of Lords to pass
clause in the Reform Bill giving peer
esses a right which the lords themselves
mad not: the right to vote at general
elections. 1t is said that the American
women who are married to British peers
were the first signers of the petition.
The ladies stated that they did not ask
this boon because of their war work,
since so many men were giving up their
lives that women's part must seem indeed
small to the whole world; but they
pleaded that "the future need of our
voice in government justifes us in COM
ing to you now"
The House of Lords apparently shelved
their request. At all events no further
word of it has reached the public. 1t is
possible that the gentlemen may not be
able to dispose of Lady Rhondda so
easily. AS was said, she has "gumption"
At the time of the presentation of the
petition Lady Rhondda's daughter, who
is Lady Mackworth and Viscountess
Rhondda as well, was quoted as express
ing great disgust at the discrimination
against women of title. They had fought
for the vote, worked for it, kicked police
men for it and hunger-struck in jail, the
while their scullery maids stayed home
and polished the pans! And now, for
sooth, the sculery maids could vote. and
they could not.
It does seem an unfair arrangement
The House of Lords is as old as Magma
Charta, but when England decided about
representation and election for her peo-
pie she relegated the nobility to the back
ground They had made her suffer
enough in the past by their power, and
she would have no more of it! They
could have their own house and vote for
measures there, but "only the enfran-
cn'sed commons can vote for anything
and anybody else"
She gave no thought to ladies. How
could she have guessed, then, that woman,
the plaything and underling Of The
mouse, would want to run government
some day-and be capable of doing it?

Student, Athlete,

Anne Martins race for the Senate is
not wild goose chase. She has been
carefully prepared to meet and discuss
the problems which confront the nation,
and she knows the constituency which
may send her to Washington. She was
born in Nevada and grew up there, and
scarcely person exists in the state who
doesn't know little Anne Martin"
After she was graduated from the
University of Nevada she took a higher
degree at Stanford, and later studied
government and politics at Columbia and
at Cambridge, England. In the mean
time she held the tennis championship
of her state for three years, had noun
tain pass in Nevada named for her in
honor Of her having climbed the peak in
the dead of winter, and was professor of
constitutional history in the University
of Nevada for three years.

they are people and they must take an

it is time to get them used to the idea of

she returned to her native state and
started in to campaign for suffrage for
Nevada women. The campaign was
won, but she soon saw that Immediately
the enfranchised women of Nevada

guarantee to the women of her state the

TIME news that Lady Rhondda has
petitioned the British government
to permit her, "as her right" to
take her husbands seat in the House Of
Lords will be of peculiar interest to
American women who can and do ap
preclate ''gumption."
Until January /, 1916, Lady Rhondda
was plain Mrs. Thomas. Had her hus-
band died then she would have
vote now, under the new order of things
IN England, which grants the right of
franchise to women between certain ages.
But on January /, 1916, her husband
was made Peer of the realm. Because
Of that his widow has no vote, just as
MS wife would have had no vote.

has the House of Lords to sit in. He
can vote all he wants to there, and al
though he cannot vote for Members of
Parliament he can cast vote to veto

commons if it does not suit him.
Peeresses have no vote. No matter
now rich and famous they and their fam
iiies, they can have no VOICE in Britain's
government-while every woman mum
ton worker in the land, and the
peeresses' own housemaids, exercise the
newy-acquired right at the polls
And there is no House of Ladies to
