THE women's organizations should
not disband. An individual may
be as helpless alone as single block
of stone by the roadside, but an. or
ganization can be as useful as q
building made Of many blocks. Into
it people put their effort, their
dreams, their lives. 1t becomes q
storehouse of power for honorable
service. So long as it continues to
be that and so long as it is needed
it should not be destroyed. It should
be used. We do not destroy a build
ing when one tenant moves out, Tor
we know that it viii be needed by
somebody else. Similarly, the won
ems organizations should not be eie~
stroyed, even though the suffrage
has been won, while they are much
needed to make wonen's influence ef-
fective politically and socially. They
can do much TO make it effective not
only for the good of women, but for,
the good OF men also. not only for
the good of America, but for the
good OF mankind.
The winning of suffrage has Otter
seemed to be an end in itself be
cause it is such an important part
of progress. But in reality it is
only a means to an end, and that
end is nobIer civilization. The
time may come when men will be
organized with women, instead Of
separately, for the furtheranee of al
good purposes, when women viii be
established in their right to share
equally with men the privileges
and responsibilities of fully deveI
oped and beautiful civilization. Nor
until that time comes should WON
ems organizations, as such. be dis
banded. Freedom for women is still
q new thing in the life of the world.
1t would not be wise TO disband
noT.

ing as an organization for more thar
a quarter Of a century proves that
It's members feal that more can be &C

A WOMAN'S party immediately
raises the question OF sex. and.
to my mind, there is no sex in poll
tics. The duty of the American
woman, as / see it, is to enter one
or the other Of our political parties
and work from within the organi-
cation. Only in this way will she
become a power, individually and
collectively. The dead wood. phys-
ical, spiritual and mental, that to-
day cutters UP both of our major
parties can only be cut away by
members, both men and women, of
the party organizations boring or
attacking from within. The process
may seem slow, but ifsthe American
woman puts the some cooperative
force back Of her political contacts
that she uses in her club work, cur
political future will be happier than
our past.
AS for non-partisan associations
formed to promote special legisla-
ton, that IS an entirely different
question and is not on all fours
with a woman's party. Personally
| am not in favor of the non-parti-
san organization per se, primarily
because do not believe that there
is any such thing as real non-parti-
sanship in national affairs. Non

will benefit from a leveling of all
barriers that keep women from anv

/ believe that eventually men and
women viii learn that their best in

Perhaps women are not at the
moment sufficiently sophisticated
about politics to relinquish their
group strength. Certainly 1 do not
think that they should allow them
selves to be herded into parties
without searching study of the
basic principles upon which these
parties are founded.

Now, the women feel that they

At least. they can do no worse.

Both should be on cooperative

I BELIEVE the fact that suffrage
has been gained through organi-
zation is the answer to the question
whether women should work through
organization or not. They have
proved that they can organize, can
maintain their organization, even
through trying periods, and can
gain the object for which they or
ganized.
While they worked as individuals
they did not get what they wanted.
That individual work undoubtedly
counted in the sum, but it alone
