If there is a valid reason a or argument against it, this paper has failed to dis . cover it Women are especially fitted for public service in connection with the schools. The voters of this state thought so favorably of the proposition ‘ that they elected a woman superintendent of educa- tion. Chicago put a woman at the head of its great | public school system a few years ago, and the inno vation succeeded admirably. Other cities are avail- ing themselves of the counsels of women in all edu- cational affairs. Progressive Seattle should not lag in this respect. This paper believes the women of the city should be given representation on the Seattle school board—AND NOW.” It matters little that on the showdown, our contemporary failed to come through That has been a failing observed on other propositions, But the argument for women directors on the school | board is none the less applicable today é GO TO THE POLLS AND VOTE FOR MISS O’MEARA AND MRS. SCHROEDER. Barbarism in Connecticut 4 ie old and presumably civilized state of Connecticut seems to have reverted to barbarism. It is going to "hang a woman—a young mother—unless the severely judicial | State board of pardons can be made to see the light of humanity. - Connecticut’s record is humane. In 80 years 68 women D have been found guilty of killing or helping to kill a human being. But Mrs. Bessie Wakefield is the only one to whom the law has risen up and said, “Because you murdered that one, we shall murder you.” 80 THE GALLOWS AND THE HANGMAN’S NOOSE AWAIT BESSIE WAKEFIELD ON MARCH 4. That she is a woman does not seem to matter. That is a mother, who loves her children and is loved by them, does not matter. That she never had a square deal im life, cither in birth or environment, does not matter. ‘That she did not even have a fair trial, so far as a layman may judge—that there is serious doubt as to her complicity s the murder of her husband, perpetrated by the infamous Plew—all these things have thus far had little in- fluence with the marionettes of the law in Connecticut. “Yast woman hanged in Connecticut was Hannah Occuish, the 12-year-old daughter of a negro and an Indian squaw. | She had killed a white child. That was in 1786, before Con- Medticut became a state. Before that, in 1745, Elizabeth Shaw, a feeble-minded ' girl, was hanged on her father’s testimony that she had killed her infant child. She rode a mile to the gallows, seated >on her coffin, crying aloud to be saved. But they hanged her just the same. : They had prevously hanged several women as witches It seems strange that now, after 125 years of growing humanity and enlightenment, Connecticut should propose to disgrace itself by hanging this ‘woman. We can’t believe that the state board of pardons -—of which Gov. Baldwin is a member—will permit it.
