say the only reason they not get jobs because
they are lazy. When few of them sell apples on
the corner rather than beg or starve, we then are
tempted to kick them out
Perhaps our real motive in wanting to get rid of
the apple sellers has nothing to do with efficiency
Perhaps it is subSonscious shame. These ragged men
are silent accusers. We don't like to be reminded

Are Women Dry?

When drys want to discount the rapid gains OF
the movement for prohibition repeal, they usually
fall back on what they call the woman vote What
ever the men may think about it, the women of
the country never will stand for return of legal
nouor-so the argument runs
1t does not pay to be dogmatic in political prophesy
though perhaps more women than men do retain
faith in the dry experiment despite the failure of
forcement and the increase in crime.
But we can not take much stock in all this talk
about the woman vote After fairly careful obServa-
HrS * American elections. we are inclined to doubt
that there is any such thing womans vote, in
the national sense
Women do not vote as women. They divide on
issues just as men do. For that matter, the same
is true OF the other alleged bloc voters In this coun-
try about which the hopes and fears of propagandsts
and politicians cluster
Never yet has any one delivered the farm vote,
the labor vote the foregn-born vote the Negro vote
any more than the woman VOTE
The conventions which have been meeting in
Washington this week demonstrate conclusively that
women voters are divided prohibition. The wom-
ems wet convention was Just lusty and militant
as the womens dry convention.
One difference between them, however, impressed
political observers as significant That was the mat
ter Of age. Among the 1900 delegates to the anti
prohibition convention were white haired grand
