came forward who have since fin

Editorial Comment
BARRIERS BURNED AWAY"
(Boston Globe)

New York City has woman
judge. TO be sure. Mrs. Jean II.
Norris has been appointed by Mayor
Hylan to fill only temporarily a place
on the bench, but the appointment
shows what is to be expected now
that women's fight for the ballot is
accomplished and they are entering
upon new era of economic indie
pendence.
1t is worthy of note that the ap-
pointment Is a political one. Mrs.
Norris Is assistant secretary of Tam
many Hall. (She Is to sit in the Wo-
mems Court, where the personnel has
already been feminized as a result of
disclosures which followed the re-
cent conviction there of three young
women.) She was prominent in the
suffrage movement in New York
State.
The appointment, then, is frank ad-
mission by the politicians of woman's
newly acquired position of import
ance.
Mayor Hylan's own words. in for
warding the appointment, They (wo-
men) are capable of filling the high
est positions within the gift of the
people," really mark an epoch in the
feminist movement.
The West led the East in admitting
women to political quality, as 1t does
in most progressive movements.
Countrywide recognition of the fact
that the day of women's economic
dependence had passed was newt
able. Potentially, women's political
power extends from coast to coast.
The barriers are burned way.

reprinted for it's significance on tn
attitude of one of the great papers

reign Of equal suffrage.
In electing the Justice Of the
Municipal Court for the First
District the voters have an OPP
portunity to disregard party lines
If they will. They certainly
should DO so II they have the best
interests OF the district in mind.
That Judgeship Is a thing which
intimately concerns their own
lives. 1t is not properly a matter
Of politics at all. The Municipal
Justice is directly connected with
the personal affairs of the people
of the district. If in electing
such a Magistrate the people
guide their actions by the usual
party spirit, they are simply
wronging themselves. In the
long run the tenement dweller,
the INDECENT mother, and the Or
phan will get the worst Of 1t.

Miss Bertha Rembaugh. who IS
running for the office on the Re

At this stage in suffrage history ir

in such vigorous terms the candidacy
Of a woman for the important office
of municipal judge. in few years
such editorials will be as usual as
similar ones now are in support Of
the candidates. Of men.
The points stressed by the Times
are: the need OF a person for the

law and possesses the skill ano
patience to bring them together ir
the right relationships; and the fact
that Miss Rembaugh meets these
qualifications should be. sufficient
cause for her election, regardless OIL
