sitting. It Is not a reflection of the
ability Of men judges as a class to
handle women's cases. 1t Is merely
an appeal to sense of fair play.
When there are twenty-six judges in
district it seems only reasonable
that one Of the twenty-six should be
woman. Men judges with the best
intentions in the world might not be
able always to give to these ques-
tions concerning the home the same
interest and comprehension that a
woman could give. Put it the other
way. Would it seem reasonable to
have jury Of women, however
highly educated, preside over courts
In which the cases concerned high
finance and international law?"
Three Republicans and three
Democrats have been nominated for
the Office Of justice from the 1st
District OF these the three receiv-

ever there was suffrage meeting

her little runabout, pulled up just
beyond the shadow Of the great
Washington Arch, with the full
moon lighting up her somewhat
stern face and her decidedly stern
clothes-she is the kind of woman
who always wears tweeds and a
black ribbon on her glasses. Yet it
was a comment on how the world
has grown tolerant that, instead of
objecting to her clothes as "man-

"She's nice looking, isn't she ?"
whispered one delicate little woman,
whose curls shone silvery in the
moonlight, to her even more elderly
sister, taking cautious stroll
around the block before bedtime.
They had been caught in the little
group around the candidates car.

every word.
There were other women there,
too, women with curly hair studded
with diamond-backed combs and with
white silk shawls over their shoul-
ders and babies in their arms-the
citizens Of Blocker Street come out
