WHAT WILL WOMEN DO?

VIII there time when citizens in this coun-
try will divide lines and separate womans
patty take the held against the men?
That this is the ultimate aim Of certain feminists
within national organizations is avowed and open.
while others believe that the complete emancipation
will be achieved by organized influence within the
established parties
To those who lightly dismiss the matter with the
suggestion that women will stand together and
that they will desert each other the crisis
cent occurrences might be pointed out most signi
fcant
When a comedian charged with the most serious
OF crimes was given partial release. representa-
tives of womens clubs who had been most Jealous
in prosecuting him. cheered the verdict, rushed for
ward to congratulate him Kissed the prosecutor
who had demanded a chance to send him to the
sallows
over IN Oklahoma, a group OF women accompa-
MED wife. who had discovered that her husband
was too much interested in a Titan haired mani
curist on a trip of vengeance. They conducted the
woman to the outskirts of the town tied her TO
tree cut away her dress and then dashed her with
a whip until she tainted. not neglecting to pummel
her that it will be attractive for several
weeks.
The unthinling might infer from the first incident
that women are ready to forgive the crimes of men
and so emouonally directed that their judgment
on justice Is entirely lacking.
From the second, might be plausibly argued that
woman consider property and lawless
in their methods Of retaining possession.
Both would be wrong. for in fact they point 10
a solidarity of womanhood that may prophesy
the ultimate political cohesion which will make
their demands the law the land.
The woman who demanded the strictest prosecu-
lion the applauded the decision only because
the evidence had shown that the women involved
had departed from the high standards which
en- have set for themselves and that the consequences
OF his act were the result OF a laxity which they
do not forgive.
The same impulse prompted the high handed pun
ishment OF the woman who had assisted In tearing
down the home Of one Of the party
The standards which women have set for them
selves il one for which they viii fight at all times.
They do not forgive the members OF their own
wAo falter. They may pity PERHAPS. but they do
not condone and when they arrive at the single
standard Of life it Will be their standard. not mans
which Will survive. because is the higher level Of
living.
Politicians who ponder over the question OF what
women will do. are blind to facts. Her reactions
certain she Will stand always for the best there Is
in life.
