The National leader., 1922-03-06


explained that critics had said that
the WHOLE LEADER was for women as we'll as
men, and that to set aside certain page and call
it a woman's page seemed to be confession that
not interested in the rest of the paper,
or that the rest of the paper not for them.
The sentiment among readers, however,
seems to be that the "page' is valuable and should
remain. We have a large number of letters taking
that position. Strange enough, we received not
letter to the contrary, since asked the ques-
tion on this page. Those who formerly suggested
the abolition of the page silent. Here are
some of the best of the letters:
FROM TENA SCHWARTZ
Editor National Leader: Why should we discon-
tlnue our woman's page? It surely does not hurt
our vanity to have page for women that does not
tell us how to keep husbands how to be beau
tful when know will always be plain and
homely. 1t does not tell to feed our men folks
on meals that take many hours of hard work to
prepare to keep them from being interested in
other places than home
l say if page such editor has printed in
the Leader will help only woman we should
have it. There are lots of women who are slaves
to themselves and their homes and who will not
can not take an hour more to look through the
whole Leader to find the articles of general interest
to women If such the case some of the
women would never read On the other hand, if
we have such "a page and know that the topics dis
cussed there interesting to will read that
page if other Why should we feel that we are
in class by ourselves when have page of
own?
Then why should we have our woman's clubs?
Is that not being in class by ourselves? Why not
have Nonpartisan clubs community clubs for
both men and women? Pm sure it would promote
more interest in the community to have such clubs.
Let us hear from Leaguers. Would you belong to
such club? I'm the women would like to
have the men folks become members. Convention
time is near; let every club send at least one dele
gate. Yours for the Nonpartisan league first, last
and always. TENA SCHWARTZ, Secretary,
Todd County Federation w. N. c.

FROM MRS. CEDERHOLM
" Editor National Leader: By all means continue
the woman's page in the Leader. I am sure for
one would be terribly disappointed if there was no
woman's page to turn to first-though don't stop
after reading that page but read till it is all de-
voured even the ads
like the woman's page especially we'll because
it is practically the only woman's page that is not
covered with recipes and other household informa-
tion 1t to me that all women should be
about fed up on that sort of stuff, and that they
should appreciate reading something about politics
which is thing for US. If all the magazines
would follow the Leader" I think many women
would be better citizens and voters than they really,
So here's hoping the woman's page will be con-
tinued, and if anything increased to more than one
page. MRS. MINNIE CEDERHOLM
Grandy, MINI.
FROM A MERE MAN -
Editor National Leader: If you discontinued the
woman's page would feel like stopping the paper
We all read the woman's page, and it's good read
ing, too. ~. F. L.

FROM MRS. McNALLY
Editor National Leader: You ask what we think
<>''t the woman's page in the Leader BY all means
