ence, members unanimously elected
Mr.. Mclean to succeed himself.

To me, IL was not so much a
question of working wonders" In
politics that 1 was an advocate OF
women suffrage. The issue was,
whether or not. we, as human
beings. intellectual equals, citizens
of a free republic, and as tax pay
ers, had a right to vote.
1 think you expected too much
of us.
They gave the colOred man his
vote after the Civil War.
Twas a new experience for him
Did he revOIutionize politics
He did not.
/ We haven't either. and never in
tended to, as much as l know.
After ages of subsection and
subserviency we could not come
out like jack-in-s-box and
change mans world into a
woman's idea of what a world
should be.
Besides, the men were still vot.
ing. and. I believe. had a greater
voting strength.
And, too, women do not all
think alike, any more than men.
There was a political set-up al
fixed by constitutional law that
we had to abide by, also men in
every office ready to'challenge an,
woman's capabilities. and we were
perhaps a little timid in the begin
ming.

How can you expect them TO
have the ballot thrust into their

II takes years and yes, genera
tions, to get a strangle hold on
some of those positions.
They are literally handed down
from father to son.
II there are fewer women in
politics today than there were at
the beginning of our franchise,
then this debauch cannot be laid
at our door.
And I think that is what most
men would like to do.
they have made a mess OF
things, they look around to find a
woman 10 blame IL on.
II you think women wanted the
ballot i'm order to clean up the
dirty mess you men made of poll

We wanted the ballot for the
same reason you wanted it,-be-
cause you were a citizen and a tax
payer.
As for women stopping wars
this il the first war we have been
threatened with since our fran.
chise. and ! think the women are
getting pretty well organized for a
sub-political minority.

most of the letters against war

average woman with a family to
get to meetineS and take an active
part in political organizations.

THE article written for the Feb

umn was both timely and perspicu-
Ously presented.
1t seems ironicai that you should
have chosen as your topic: Peace
as the attainment of our goal-ron

who wanted peace more than any
thing else, yet he had only war.
Your charges against the women
Of America are sadly enough too
true and complete. We are now
and have been In the past, sadly
remiss I'm our exercise of the rights
and duties given US as women OF
this free land.
No one hates war more strongly
than women, for are they not the
mothers and wives who spend
years of bitter tears and regret,
over the loss of their men, yet even
now In the face Of this, which Is
more than a mere threat, they dc
nothing but talk.
But here, as often is the case,
words are idle, for they are neither
definite nor directed.
But is n fair to condemn when
the victim although conscious of
her omission does not know what
she can do 10 accomplish what is

In her mind and heart-namely to
prevent war:
Women are not towards.
II IL were a just war of defense
Of our own American soil, they
would find many women in the
lines of defense work.
But this Is not the case, and
consequently women want to pre-
vent this war.
But what can be done?
Can we succeed when the ques-
ton was always In the hands of
the few and not the many?
Now women are human beings
and being human have that I'M
happy faculty of depending upon
one, a leader, to show the way.
Once shown, they are fervent
and tireless followers.
We have such women. capable of
such leadership.
Where are they:
We women need just to be shown
what 1t Is that we can do and
then try and stop us.

The article divided Berlin's stra-

that II should be difficult for the
British to detect any feigned ac-

and also to rumors that Germany
