AN OUTSIDE FLAPPEK
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1924-04-28
AN INDIVIDUAL PROBLEM

A thing has happened in England that
may be acclaimed as practical working
out of the objection to women in poll
tics. This is nothing more than the pro-
posed abandonment of politics by one
|of the eight women members OF the
British Parliament She has declared
that she will have to quit in order to
have time to care for her two children
who are small
Not long ago the fact that this woman
had to take care of her children would
have been used as a violent argument
against woman's suffrage, and even now
it may be pointed to as an example Of
what a mistake it is for women to be
in politics. The whole of feminitv would
be regulated by that one example. Be
cause this one. woman found politics and
the care of her children mutually ex-
elusive, no woman should go into poll
tics because every woman is a potcn-
tial mother whose children might de-
mand her care
This may be the reaction in some quar-
tiers still. Fortunately for the general
lCNCl vi lllSlilSeHCe, OplllOl DIS d WIlOlc
is getting far beyond that point. This
opinion does not lose sight of the fact
that women are potential mothers, but
looks further and sees that women are
individuals as well and are capable of
handling the practical details of their
liYesoas they see fit. If they are not,
it is time they get busy and become
something more than the instructive
mothers of the race.
The idea of individual adjustment to
conditions as opposed to conformability
of vast numbers. irrespective of the
manner in which the individuals fall
in with the general scheme. has 10 fight
hard for its own. But it points to the
evolution of highly differentiated So
cietv, as far above this, which is still
largely controlled by mass decisions, as
the highly differentiated human body is
above the jelly fish which moves only
with the tide. A part OF the whole the
individual must be, or else perish, but
he may be particular, distinct, and
unique part, whether male or female, or
the mother or the father of the race.

its happening it was considered to be
remarkably rapid transmission. Under
such conditions our republican system
had an opportunity to grow. At that,
we nearly slipped into kingdom.
Engand's nearest approach to re-
public--in name-was in the time of the
Commonwealth but it was not long be-
fore she reverted to the monarchical
system and she has adhered to it ever
since
The French republic has had far
more stormy career. 1t arose during the
Revolution, passed into the empire, came
to the surface twice more, twice dis
appeared and came to stay after the
disaster to the empire in 1901. The
Roman republic lasted we'll for cen
turtles but was finally swallowed by the
empire after the death of Caesar. Swift
zerland has, perhaps, held her republi-
can form of government better and
longer than has any other nation, but
for several reasons she never had a
king of her own and the republican idea
was not compelled to struggle against
kings and their adherents
The republican idea is not the growth
of day in any nation nor has it been
a mCmentary movement in any age. 1t
has come to its fruition through many
bitter political struggles and bloody con-
vulsions. 1t has never been an easy
accomplishment but always and forever
it has been born in natures way.
AS for Germany desiring war, it stag
gers the human mind to believe that
such thing is possible. The memory
of the 100000 men of Germany who
gave their lives in the recent war. should
prevent Germany from desiring or even
attempting such thing as that. More
over, she is not now in any position to
fight the French army equipped as it
is to the last detail and headed by the
greatest military genius that has APP
peared in Europe since the great Ma
poleon.
A political revolution is entirely pos
sible, but war seems impossible.

THE FUTURE OF GERMANY

It is reported from sources, which
may not be the most trustworthy in
the world, that there is every prospect
of revolution in Germany in the near
future. 1t is declared that the object
of the alleged revolutionists will be to
over turn the present German republic,
place the junkers in power and then
tell France to get ont of the Ruhr dis
trict or go to war.
1t is entirely possible that there will,
at some time or another. be a rcvolu-
ton i'll Germany. In fact it is extreme
ly likely that there will be an over
throw of the republic before it is settled
firmly as an accepted form Of govern
ment.
The German people have for many
years been trained under the monarchi-
cal system of government. They are
accustomed to it and they like it. The
republican form of government is new
to them and is, for them, largely in the
shape of an experiment. The political
soil OF Germany is not calculated &c

THE BULL FIGHT.

Societies for the prevention of
cruelty to animals are springing up
throughout Spanish speaking coun-
tries. 1t is difficult to think of
a Spain without its Sunday bull
fights. Against this barbarous
pastime popes have Numbered their
anathemas in vain for hundreds of
years. Sunday would be a very
tedious day in any Of the leading
Spanish cities WITHOUT the "corrida
lie toros." They are cruel pastime
but Spanish speaking countries seem
to have racial fondness of them.
Perhaps if the "corrida" goes in
Spain it will be the signal for its
doom in Mexico and South American
countries. The societies for the pre-
vention of cruelty to animals have n
great reformation before them, but
there is among the SDaniards grow
ing feeling OF respect for the pre-
judices of other nationalities. They
realize that the bull fight has been
beyond the pale of tolerance among
civilized nations. For years the
Spanirds tried to Justify their ma
tional game by pointing out that il
cost fewer lives than were sacrificed
to the pleasures of other lands.-Salt
