have counted at Chicago and might
count here. But until that queer thing
happens which Is called equality. OF the
sexes and which Is state of mind
rather than a legal state, women Will
play a discreetly minor role at con-
ventions.
Equality of the sexes has not been
established in politics by the equal suf-
frage laws nor will il be by the amend
ment of the constitution when that is
adopted. Most of the men delegates are
merely pawns in the hands Of the few,
and Thomas Jefferson's burning words
about all men being born free and equal
have not altered that fact. All OF the
women delegates are of the pawn type.
They are gentle subsidiaries picked out
because they are gentle subsidiaries.
The men don't want on the floor of the
convention hall women of the Alice
Paul, Abbey Scott Baker type, militant
feminists. There is story here in
San Francisco that the stockade was
built around the Auditorium to keep
away the militant suffragists. 1t was
not, but 1t represents pretty well the
attitude toward militant femininity.
What VIII She Think?
But IL the individual woman doesn' I
count for much, woman counts. The
great question, what will she think of
it?" SO familiar to mems consciousness
through all the ages, has been introduced
into politics. 1t troubles hearts of the
male presidents, much as it has always
in its more domestic aspects troubled
mems hearts. What will she think OF
it? What will the woman voter think
of a platform with a wink in it on
booze? "What will the woman voter
think of a candidate for President who
has been diyorced?" said woman. III
he gets all the Divorces, he needn I
worry about the other" but that Is
neither here nor there. The men won't
accept a flippant answer to the ques
ton, "What will she think of it?'
And so far as one can see they don't
even ask the gentle subsidiaries present
what woman will think of it. Manlike
they think they know as well as any
woman what woman will think of it
They have had great deal of experi
encc through the ages of what women
will think of it. Experience has taught
them to fear the worst. They have &c
reckon politically with new con
science. 1t isn't n still small voice
Men haven't been husbands for nothins
for thousands of years. At least they
think so.

An arrangement of this character not
only illustrates that within year the
league has learned. to avoid the pitfall
of rigidity, but that the Democratic
assumption of its infexibility is largely
fictitious.
1t may be too soon to cheer, but it
is also early to bewail the trend of in

Notwithstanding overflow" wars and
the menace of bankruptcy abroad, pre-

CHAUNCEY NJ. DEPEW in the Re-
- publican convention of 1888 was
tn" platform star. just as he was
thirty-two years later in Chicago.
But when Mr.. Depew in his brilliant
address before the convention in Chi
cago two weeks ago, as the dean of Re
publican leaders, presented reminis-
rrurrs Of the past, he neglected to point
out one notable feature and failure.
On his return to New York from the
convention Of 1888 he started for Eu-
rope and did not return until early in
September. He then took the stump
for Harrison and Morton.
Before leaving for Europe, however,
he expressly declared his intention of
quitting politics for good at the close
Of the campaign.
In his brilliant way, and the passing
years have robbed him of none of his
oldtme vigor Of expression, he said:
Il rise to remark that the experience
of the preliminary canvass and of the
convention at Chicago has convinced me
that the only business worth prOsecut =
ing in this country is that of railroad =
ing,
"Railroading and politics will not mix
without damage to one or the other. !
intend to accept the political disabilities
of my business and hereafter give IL my
individual and exclusive attention"
Yet a generation after, and at an age
that runs we'll up into the eighties,

the youngest old man in his party.
