Women to Find Out
Why Men Do Not Vote
And Ballot Troubles

Chicago. Dec. 1.-Why men do not
vote, what's wrong with the ballot
and how politics handles electoral ma
chinery-these are some of the prob
lens that women voters have set 20
look into here Dec. l to 8. At this
time the National League of Women
Voters will hold it's first institute on
Efficiency in government in Chicago.
Its purpose" explains Miss Belle
Sherwin of Cleveland, who is in
charge. lis an expansion of the politi.
cal education for women begun in nur
citizenship schools. We started with
study of government, the constitu-
tion and the laws. and are going for.
ward to consider much more carefully
what political parties arc doing with
the institutions we are studying.
IF the league is a university for
adult political education, / might say
its citizenship schools present the
freshmen course and this institute is
a second years course"
The program of the league is ro
study government as it is. government
as it is, practiccd under the influence
of party organizations, and govern
ment as it should be to get the partici-
patton of more people in it ard more
efficient administration, Miss Sherwin
added.
1T has before It," she said. "two
questions: What will make govern
ment more truly representative and
what will make its operations more
efficient in political units of every
size?
This institute will cover only the
hrst question. 1t will devote itsele
therefore to study of the whole vot-
ing system.
I'VE are not planning a debate, but
a school with one speaker at each ses-
sion.
I'VE want to get over a medium of
education which is non-academic ana
as lar as possible a. substitute for ac-
tual experience. We want to give
women what YOU might call political
sophistication."
Women for whom the institute IS
held, Miss Sherwin said, are esrecial;v
those who are 'able to take back and
set up method of presenting these
fundamental things about participat
ing III government to women who were
not primarily interested in becominr >
voters"

pear ON the floor of the House or en-
ter any discussion but are confined to
the medium Of the public report or
! the work they may do through one of
| the leaders of the numerous commit
tees certainly indicates that our
methods are not convenient and not
| contributory to the public intelligence
of all that is going on in the halls
Of Government. We believe they
could and should be Improved and
see no objection to so much Of this
proposed plan as would call forth all
information which might properly be
| placed before Congress.
The other questions asked by the
League are in the nature Of compile
ment of the previous ones: the third
was whether Congress should give
| the Cabinet privilege of the floor
without vote, the fourth whether it
! should be made the duty of the
members of the Cabinet TO appear on
the floor before Congress sitting as a
committee of the whole on the eKecu-
tive budget; the fifth whether the
Constitution should be amended in
| case Congress failed or refused to
make the necessary changes; the
sixth whether Congress should be

done it should apply to an item being
railroaded through under pressure as
we'll as to other improper legislation:
the eighth. whether in case of a
deadlock between the President and
Congress either or both should have
the power to make the issue the sub
ject of referendum to determine
which has the support of public
opinion. Just why 392 members of
the League, voted against this does
not appear, Possibly they thought
that in this, as in so many pleasing
suggestions of reform, the remedy.

be worse than the disease.
A demand of the hour, one that
conforms to the requirements of pop
ular government. is to give the pub
lie all possible information, and gen.
orally speaking public that may not
be trusted with the truth is incapable
of self government, although there
are truths to be spoken with discre-
ton and there are problems which
arrive at solution more quickly if not
Immediately exposed to tie full light

Der OF his Cabinet should not be COM
PEELED to discuss all subjects openly

under any government. but there is
good ground for the opinion that our
present arrangement is inadequate
for the team work so desirable in the
relations between the executive and
