prosecutor. She has twice been elect
ed to the bench. She served first as
a Judge of the Court of Common Pleas
in Cuyahoga County and since 1872:
has rendered notable service as judge
of the Supreme Court, the court OF last
resort in Ohio. She is an excellent
speaker and an able political leader
and we are fortunate in having hel
still on the bench. But we must wait
for another opportunity before we can
see what woman of her abilities and
experience may be able to do in the
national legislature.
Can we wonder that sceptics assert
that woman suffrage has not greatly
affected our national political life
when we consider that the record OF
women in the legislature has in gen.
eral been pitifully weak? A few able
women like Miss Julia Lathrop of the
Children's Bureau, and Mrs. Mabel
Willebrandt of the Department OF
Justice have held public office by ap-
pointment. Miss jeanette Rankin
held her seat in Congress too short a
time to prove her mettle, and since
her defeat most of the women elected
seem to have been chosen for senti-
mental reasons-as the wives or the
widows of politicians-rather than on
their own records. With the election
of a woman governor who has been
avowedly little more than the rubber
stamp for her husbands decisions
candidate only because her husband
was ineligible for reelection the
stock of women in politics has fallen
very low.
The reasons for these conditions
are not far to seek. There are few
inducements and many disadvantages
in a political career for man in this
country, and the disadvantages are
multiplied in the case of a woman.
One may devote ones best energies
to public affairs for years and then
find ones services no longer wanted
and ones work apparently gone for
nothing. The work has often been
miserably rewarded, not in money
values alone, but in the prestige and
respect which might have attracted
many candidates far more than the
prospect of high salaries. We use
the term politician as reproach
rather than as an honor, and we often
seem to regard as the ideal candidate
for public office the man who has
been called from his business, and who
has had the least possible experience
of the machinery of politics. Yet po-
litical government is vast and COM
plicated business and there is no rea-
son for supposing that it is best con-
Quoted by amateurs.
Conditions being what they are, it
is natural that few women have had

If the hobo performs useful and
necessary function a portion of the
time why is it needful for him to as
sumo the part of a mendicant the
rest of the time? The hobo may be
on plane above the bum yet one
who is unable to provide for his own
support all the time is still short of
that status which might be evied.
The truth is that the hobo is likely to
be, not vicious, perhaps, but ineffici-
ent. He is without eager desire to
better his condition, else he does not
for long remain hobo. The better
way to show the difference between
a hobo and a bum is to be neither.

claring that women have important
work to accomplish in the field or
politics and are gaining recognition
with greater opportunities for doing
things. Mrs. Eva c. Chase of this city,
president of the Maryland Federation
of Republican Women'S Clubs, VINO
has become a candidate for clerk OF
the Maryland Court of Appeals. eX-
planned today why she accepted the
offer of support extended by Repub-
lican friends.
Women are by nature creators.
she said, "and after having presented
man himself to the nation as their
best creation, they have a duty in
making conditions suitable for man.
They should do all in their power TO
improve welfare. They have greater
power through the ballot than they
have had before, and wherever they
have taken advantage of the oppOr-
tunities thus brought to them. with
rare exception they have accom-
plfShed wonderful results. Politics is
the art of government and most wom-
en- are artists"
She said the offer of nomination for
the Court of Appeals clerkship, one of
the important offices of the State,
came unsolicited and unexpected, but
that 1t carries assurance of victory
and promise of great opportunities for
