Women In Politics

A woman's place in this changing world is what she
Her place used to be in the home.
Today there are thousands of men, perhaps Millions
who think her place is still in the home.
To these men nothing could be more horrible than
a woman in politics. Judging from the majority of wo-
men now active in politics we can't honestly say that
we blame them.
However the women today who enjoy the privileges
of suffrage and owning property and all the other rights
accorded free people in these United States have those
militant suffragettes of not SO many years ago to thank.
Had it not been for the crusade of those women our posi-
ton today would not be SO secure.
In the same way the women now who are active in
politics are pointing the way to the tune IN the 1uture
as men. We predict that.
1t seems reassuring to us that a certain percentage
Of our feminine population n u Is taxi taxing an active " interest 1aaan
control the vast majority of wealth IN This country. WlIn
spansi M b en shoIso a Guan interest in affairs irS of of pov-
eminent.
We do not say that women holding office and enjoy
ing, M, really a. equal u rights and privileges Nv Hss along l1 g those ?Ts lines e
from it. But certainly women can make no bigger mess
of things in the future than our men have in the past.
We do believe the influence of women will be whole
some. Graft and corruption isn't associated with us and
we pray it never will be.
The Democratic convention in Chicago, 1910, went a
long way for the women. 1t gave them $3.50 represen-
At the Philadelphia convention the Republicans adopted
a similar measure to take effect in 1914.
Perhaps the Republicans waited until 1914 because
there were only 70 women delegates with 231 alter
mates seated. The Democrats recognized POP delegates
and 367 alternateS.
In 1900 there were three women delegates at the
Democratic convention.
The particular interest of these women at the 1910
conventions was the foreign policy plank in the party
platforms. Democratic and Republican women alike are
bitterly opposed to war. Both helped get their planks.
The women at future political conventions will pro-
badly get almost everything they want.
We only hope that women all over the country will
awake and take some intelligent interest in their gov
eminent. Every one of them should certainly vote and
take the trouble to find out what and for whom they
are voting. If we are going to have equal rights for
heavens sake let us train ourselves to have sense enough
to use them.
The masses of American people, including the wo-
men, have been neglecting the duties of citizenship.
World conditions today make it imperative that gov
eminent be made a personal responsibility to each of us.
Democracy can not function properly and survive I'M
less it is government by all the people for all our people.
Women must prepare themselves to play their part.

That Foreign Policy Plank

If the Democratic and Republican candidates stuck
to the foreign policy planks adopted by their parties
foreign policy won't be an issue in this campaign.
Mind you, we say, IF.
Platforms are built by men who sweat blood AT
party conventions to write vote-getting planks that are
forgotten as soon as the campaign Is over II o 0%

The actual foreign policy of both parties Will be
voiced by their candidates from day to day determined
by the trend of events.
You can rest assured that neither will come out open

is too much against it.
