TN her new book, Women and
Il Wealth." Mary Sydney Branch
gives figures which suggest that
we may be drifting toward a
matriarchy since women now hold
the purse strings of America. The
facts marshalled should appear
formidable to the poor gentlemen
but they probably do not. The
men know that so long as they
make the money it doesn't matter
much who spends it.
Those who create the national
wealth hold the national destiny
within their hands. Whatever may
be said of woman's spending pow
er, the chances are she will take
but slight interest in economic
affairs until she has become the
maker Of money-until she earns
approximately as much as man.
She is the beneficiary of estates,
life insurance and legacleS. But
all these riches are a gift. She has
not planned, struggled, sweated
for them. Therefore their i'm
portance in her eyes is lessened.
Those who use unearned wealth
generally are wastrels-and vast
rels are seldom concerned about
the state of the nation.
1t is true that women could re-
make America and the world, if
they but realized their power.
They could eliminate Sweatshops,
slums and human servitude. They
could do all sorts of splendid
things with their concentrated
wealth.
But it is doubtful whether they
will ever do so. Just as it takes

realize his latent power, so it will
take many decade for women to
understand their nomic
strength. And the richer they are,
the less likely will they be to give
a thought to it.
The peasant wife who tolls in
the open fields is far more apt to
make demands upon her govern
ment than any lady whose money
comes as mama from Wall Street.
The rich do not alter economic
conditions. 1t is the poor who do
that, the poor who have grown
desperate. 1t is a great pity, to
be sure, but reforms are almost
never created by those who hold
the purse strings.
The women who will remake
America in the end will be those
who have nothing to spend, the
toilerS, the sufferers, the miserable
ones, those masses of intelligent
INDECENT who, by and by, may cry
with such a loud voice that the
ears Of the rich will be opened and
their eyes be made to see.
