CAPITULATED CITADELS

The assistant secretary of state
at the Vatican having announced
shortly before the Presidential cleo
tion that the Pope approved of vOt-
ing by nuns, it may be said that wo-
man suffrage has carried the strong
est citadel of conservatism. But it
would be more accurate to say that
this particular citadel capitulated long
ago, for Archbishop Cerretti, the Va
tican secretary, says that years since
Catholic women and even nuns voted
in Australia. "Rccently,' he is fur
thcr quoted. "when elections were
held in Bavaria and other States in
Germany the Bishops asked the Holy
See for permission for clOistered
nuns to leave their monastries to vote,
the Holy See granted this permission
without difficulty" Archbishop Ger
ett adds: Christian mother need
not fear to put aside somc hours OF
home duties to accomplish their civic
duties. Young women need not feal
that in accomplishing their civic dut!
in this respect they need lose theil
Christian reserve and modesty."
After all this there would appear
to be no more campaigning for wO
man suffragists to do. so far as the
principle involved is concerned. Bu
there are still left conservative
groups opposed to the ballot for wo
men. and some of them bid fair tt
hold together long while yet
Among these perhaps there is non,
promising a greater longevity thar
the Southern group in our owl
country. Though the average South
ern man galantly will that womer
shall have the ballot if they want it
! the majority of Southern womei
themselves are opposed--or such il
the condition of affairs indicated b!
the reports from Dixieland.
