the state against class conflicts here
at home.
What special faculties, what new
gifts Of heart and head will women
bring with them into our public life
First, and perhaps most valuable OF
all, the freshness Of an open mind,
unencumbered by the mental con-
ventions and the mental traditions
of the past. They will APPROACH the
old problems from new angle.
While men tramp along the hard
high road, women will make their
own cut across country, and often
forestall them at the goal. Their
minds move differently from men s,
less surely, less reliably, but often
far more rapidly and more directly
But the great the torturing ques-
ton which must confront each one
of us on the threshold of a political
career, the question which lies at
the root of the whole problem of the
enfranchisement of women, is:
How shall strike the right balance
between the claims of my public
and my private life?''
The right time to go into politics
is between twenty-five and forty
when life is at the flood-tide, when
our blood is running and not creep
ing in our veins, before the eyes of
youth have lost their vision Of per-
feet lines and true proportions, and
got used to the deformities Of the
world as it is, before custom lies
upon us with weight, heavy as
frost, and deep, almost, as life.'
But it is during these very years
that we pass through our most vivid
personal experiences and that our
human ties are at their strongest and
most imperious. And these may pre-
vent the. strongest and most repre-
sentative types of their sex from TAX
ing an active part in public life, or,
at any rate, from entering parlia-
ment.
1t was this dilemma which inspir-
ed doubts in many thoughtful peo-
pie during the suffrage controversy,

and reactionary view that

once this is accomplished, one hopes
by inequalities will be finally exer.
that the unreal atmosphere created
cised, and that the association oil
men and women on equal terms in
every field and plane of life will
lead not only to freer and truer re-
lationship between them, but also to
a much juster and clearer vision OF

ism" as a warped product, born of

low-women, who took an active and
glorious part in the struggle for the
emancipation of their sex, bear on
their minds to this very day the hon
orable scars of battle and that the
passion and the eloQuence with
which they pleaded the wrongs and
denounced the oppressors of their

gradual disappearance of sex as a
deciding factor in political questions,

exception to the general rule.
I hope, and I believe, that on one
question women will always stand
together; that they will always
throw all the weight of their polit-
lcal power into the balance against

daughter of Herbert Asuuith
VINO is expected to follow Lady AS

LONDON.-In the past, as | SEE
1t, woman has been either enslaved
or enshrined-I feel tempted to use
the word "Vaticanized" (which has
obtained popular currency since the
controversy as to the fate of Con-
stantinople). She drudged or, like
the pope, she lived a prisoner in
great state, radiating influence,
welding unreasonable power, yet
shorn of all temporal privileges and
rights; often tyrant in her weak
ness, sometimes victim in her
strength; always captive, who from
birth was taught that to burst her
bonds would be to break the spell
by which she ruled.
Those bonds are burst-that spell
is broken. The slaves are freed, the
popes unfrocked, the medieval mists
are clearing, and woman faces wom-
an, and man, too, in the flight of
common day." And in that honest
light she sees a world which, polit-
1cally, she had no hand in making.
She sees wrongs, violences, injus-
tices, things out of shape, out of
tune. And in her untried hand she
finds a new and powerful instrument
of redress. How will she use it?
hope, confidently predict, that
every woman will use it differently,
Just as every man has done. One of
the best and healthiest results of the
enfranchisement of women, is in my
opinion, that we shall lose sight of
sex as a mental or moral frontier, as
a line of demarcation in principle,
or point of view. The sooner this is
accomplished, the better, feel, it
will be for men, for women, and for
the community.
Women have been driven by
sense OF the injustice done to them
into sort of trades union based
upon their wrongs as sex, and un-
til they have been brought up
abreast of men in political develop
ment as well as in political rights,
a certain political sex-consciousness
and sex-solidarity will remain. But

won in this Democratic convention was
scored by a young Filipino by the name
of Jose p. Melencio. He has charge of

Washington.
He is only twenty.six years old and
received his education in the public
schools of the Philippines-under
American teachers. as he proudly
deutschland at Georgetown, D. C.
He is a remarkably promising young
man.
Speaking with grace, using the best
language and without a trace of EN-
barrassment, he presented the claim
of the Filipinos to independence. The
audience was astonished at the
strength of his argument, the skill
with which he marshaled his facts and
the high tone of his speech. He capt.
waited everyone and committeeman and
visitors paid him the compliment of
rising and cheering when he concluded
his plea.
When one of the committee asked
him some questions he returned to the
platform and answered them with as
much logic and precision as if he had
