Mr.. j. w. M. Stewart Inter-
viewed in New York on Sub
ject of Women in Politics

The following interesting interview
with Hon. j. w. NJ. Stewart Of Ash

quirer of Monday:
New York November 81. W.. NJ.
Stewart, Ashland, attorney. and a
keen man OF affairs in Kentucky. who
was in New York last week on i'm
portant business and to attend a-meet-
ing of the Consolidation Coal Com
pany, of which he is the legal head
and a director, had this to say in re-
gard to the entrance of women into
political life. not only in the United
States but in European countries: j..
Women have had a wholesome eff

Politics. as everything else. needs new
viewpoints constantly. The situation
is much the same as with business.
which, as the saying goes, is improved
with the infusion of new blood .....
"If the same conditions are permit
ted to go on without any occasional
change, there is the possibility OF
lapsing into a rut from which 1t is a
difficult thing to escape. Progress is
almost synonymous with change when
that change is in the line of positive
Improvement anu tue introduction Oh
factors that are worth while.
THE changing viewpoint is SUP
piled, / believe, in the introduction Of
women into politics. For years they
may not exert any great effect upon
political institutions, as such. ! do not
believe they should aim at radical
modification OF anything that is con-
tributing TO public good. But during
all that time, when they are getting
their bearings, SO TO speak, and learn
ing the political game, they have it in
their power 10 exert an influence for
good upon the male voters. z.... . e..
There is no doubt that the feminine
viewpoint is going to be different from
that of men in regard to politics. AS
a different viewpoint alone il would be
of little good, but blended with that OF
the men who have had years OF polit-
icaI experience, and who perhaps need
a freshening OF their ideas, there is
the possibility Of a real improvement
OF existing political institutions
In England, from reports of their
elections, the women are taking an
active part. They apparently are
welding a power for good. too. Other
nations which have not adopted uni
versal suffrage. il they study the ex-
perience of English speaking peoples.

Senator Newberry. who spent $780,
600 to win over Henry Ford seat in
the United States Senate, has resign
ed since the election. The people OF
Michigan beat his colleague. Senator
Townsend. electing Democrat for the
first time in 70 years. Newberry was
the issue in that race as well as in
others Throughout the country. When
Newberfy was Indicted and sentenc-
ed to the penitentiary for two years
for violation of the law limiting ex-
penditures in elections, the question OF
expelling him from the Senate was
fought out In that body. He retained
his seat by plurality of only five
votes. The last, election made more
than enough changes in the Senate to
expel Newberry and the case was to
be fe-opened. So Mr.. Newberry made
haste to settle the matter himself by
resigning. When rich men become
thoroughly convinced that the more
they pay for an office the less it is
worth they may decide to keep their
money out.
