don't know, for feel very strongly
that one of the things that will lessen
the value of the ballot for women is
the drawing Of sex lines in politics.
In the Leader for November ID,
1921, I had an article entitled:
"Women Candidates - They Should
Not Appeal for Votes on the Grounds
of Sex" In that article I denounced
the practice Of machine politicians of
putting woman on their reactionary
party tickets and seeking female
votes for their whole ticket and vision
less party policy on the ground that
they had recognized women on the
ticket" In that article I said: -.
81 believe that women who are tax
ing an interest in politics, and wonl-
ems political organizations, should
work to the end that men and women
alike shall be considered as PEOPLE
in politics, without sex distinctions
and determinations. That means that
when a woman. runs for. office, both
male and female voters should apply
the same test as is employed when a
man runs for office"
This ought to-, square me with
Leader readers and Margaret Winfield
Stewart for my stupid remark about
Miss Robertson and her recent vote.

Robertson is but another illustration of the obvious
fact that we are all given to exaggerating the sig
nifcance of sex differentiation. Woman suffrage

EQUAL RIGHTS

The winning of suffrage for women has not re-
moved all the civil and legal disabilities of the sex.
In most states still have civil and legal privi-
leges that women do not enjoy To place women
finally and for all time equal footing with
men, womens organizations of the country are
urging another amendment to the Constitution of
the United States, which reads as follows:
"No POLITICAL civil or legal disabilities or i'm
equalities account of sex or on account of mar
riage unless applying alike to both sexes, shall
exist within the United States or any place SUBJ
ject to their jurisdiction"
Rapid progress is being made in the states to
eliminate determinations in the law on account of
sex, but it is felt that national constitutional
amendment is needed Such an amendment would
hasten the day of full equality. "

member of having seen anything published any
where to indicate what farm women think of
the matter-what side they generally take in the
controversy that is raging over the subject. Or
do they know anything about the subject? Or
they divided in opinion like most other classes of
people? l am wondering whether you inform
whether any representative farm women, or
leaders in the Women's Nonpartsan club move
ment, have discussed the matter publicly, either
side of the question, and whether you could send
me the addresses of any such women.
Your paper, I notice, advocated the maternity
bll for the better protection of mothers and chill
dren through advice and information furnished at
public expense l suppose your women readers
whole also favored that measure which is
law. Did any of them argue in favor of the meas
the ground that it would offset the effect of
birth-control propaganda? That is, saving as
many as we can of the babies that die in in
fancy from preventable causes has the effect of
increasing the population, and therefore makes up
for the cutting down of the birth rate in families
that have adopted the principle of birth control.
heard an advocate of birth control say that she
believed the way to keep up the population was
through measures to ba les that now die, and
to improve health, hygienic and sanitary conditions
generally, that the average length of life be in
creased, rather than forcing overburdened mothers
of large families to bear more children. Was any
such position taken by the Leader or by any of the
women readers in arguing for the maternity bill?
WANTS THE INFORMATION TO
USE IN CLUB PAPER
Do farm women to any extent complain of large
families? Is there any organization existing to
promote advocacy Of birth control among farm
women?
am to prepare paper soon the extent of the
birth control movement, for club meeting. I
merely expect to report the facts, without taking

FATE STILL DOUBTFUL

We have received a number of very interesting
replies to the question asked in the February
6 issue "Shall the woman's page be discontinued"
But the fate of the page is still in doubt and will
not publish the answers till next issue. In the
meantime tell us what YOU think.
1t has been suggested that the woman's page is
a confession that should think differently
than men folks. Some friends say that everything
in the Leader is for ALL members of the family,
and that it would be just sensible to have
"man's page"
"Why have womans page" we have been ask
ed "when there is nothing you print the page in
which men not interested, and nothing in the
rest of the paper in which not inter-
ested?"
Of course, if "the page" abolished, we
would continue to- publish in other parts of the
paper, without departmental heading, the kind of
material which has appeared on this page. The
only difference would be that would consider all
readers and women, people, instead Of
seeming to draw line by having particular
page supposed to be devoted only to women.

Arthur mclaughlin of Detroit Is re.
sponsible for this story sent me by
my friend, Leo ID. Brown, of the Cos

"A Reno gent had, on Saturday
night, become very much absorbed in
The Tale of Two Cities Particularly
was he impressed with the description
of the guillotine and the misfortunates
upon whose necks 1t descended so dew
astatingly. The vision preyed upon
his imagination.
Next day his wife insisted that he
accompany her to church. He drowsed
during an Unfortunately long prayer and
dreamed that the guillotine was about
to descend on his bent neck. Wife.
upon resuming her seat when the
prayer was over, noticed that her hus-
band was asleep and still leaning for

the pew ahead. And so, with her fan,
she tapped him lightly upon the back
of the neck. Whereupon the gent fell
dead"
