OK the first iime the census of last year showed fewer persons i in Manhattan Borough than in the territory of the other four ‘4 boroughs. These other boroughs exceeded it in population by about 100,000. It is therefore both a logical and chronological | be consequence that this year for the first time the fact is enforced upon Tammany, the ruling power in Manhattan, that it is a minority or- i ion. ‘The election discloses the Tiger telescoped by the pres- be sure of the outlying boroughs. | a! That is the significance of the “Bronx Revolt,” in which four .-/ Tammany Assembly candidates were overwhelmed and the Tammany county ticket brought to the edge of defeat. The Bronx wants “home rule,” @ county government, and patronage and perquisites of its own right rather than by favor of Fourteenth street, and it has held Tammany responsible for the Legislature’s failure to mect its wishes. Its Democracy is no longer content to be a Tammany province. Thus Tammany finds {teclf fighting the stars !n their courses— contending against s growth of population in the outlying boroughs 4 which entails the growth of political self-consciousness and an in- evitable reaction against the political organization of the central bor- ough. There are 80,000 votes in Bronx Borough, 50,000 in Queens : and es many in Brooklyn as in Manhattan. The latter contains only one-fifteenth the area of the city, already holds about all the popula- tion it can house, and with each census will be put more and more in the minority as compared with the remainder of tho city. Nobody can read Mommaon’s account of Roman politics without remarking the resemblance to Tammany rule. ‘The parallel will go further. Rome spread iteelf out so thin in extending its sway over ontlying provinces that in the end they swamped it. Its action upon | them was less than their reaction upoh it. That is what will happen | *. , to Tammany. For « space it may make alliances with a Cassidy "and give orders to a McCooey, but the Bronx has served warning of the time when all the boroughs will claim political as well as admin- jatrative autonomy, and Tammany be a Manhattan problem, not a) metropolitan menace, — oo THE GOOD TIME COMING. women have availed of the ballot even where the right to vote was theirs—and in a large part of the country they have bs a limited suffrage, chiefly upon school matters. But this P phenomenon is passing, and the registration at Los Angeles is tos- timony ia-point. Seventy-three thousand women qualified, or three women to every four men. T'he future holds cases where more wom- en will register and vote than men just because there are more women than. men. The test of woman’s auffrage will come on some question of sex- consciousness in which all the women will vote on one side and all the men on the other, and the latter will be outnumbered. An issue very like this was raised in Massachusetts, where the women i AEE AEN tere ACR ST ERIERY picasa ASP ate neta pe phn Daily Magazine, Saturday. November By Maurice Ketten,.

Copsrigit, 1011, by The Press Publishing Co, (The New York World), T last, the millennium has come! Take off your halos, Ladies! Step down A from your pedestais—and enjoy yourselves! You are no longer Man's good angel.” No longer will you have to stand ia a ntoh in the wall, holding onto Heaven with one hand end ato Man with the other. You have fallen from grace with a “dull, sickening thud." In a letter to The Evening World a masculine reader has proved conclusively and with excellent logic that Wem- an {9 and always has been Man's “in shor * that she Was created “inferior;” that she always will be “inferior.* What a relfef! Not that we really ARE, you know; but that mam is beginning to THINK so, and may, at last, cease trying to cajole and bully us with that worn-out fetish, our “SU- PERIORITY.” For nineteen centuries we have stood itt centuries her “superiority” has been the White Woman's Burden, Like Atlas, she has borne the morals of the whole world on her decollete shoulders. In all that time » man never has done a@ single thing™he shouldn't do, from biting the forbidden apple to getting intoxicated or robbing a bank, unless some woman either “drove” him to {t or “lured” him to it. He has been SO Joyously irresponsible, so perseveringly “infertor’—and e0 resolutely determined that woman should keep her halo on stratght, atick to her pedestal and remain hig “superior,” giving and forgiving him everything on e “superior”—his For nineteen Do you know what it means to be “superior?” Were you ever the oldest child in the family? I was—and it was a sad life! Every time one of the younger children snatched my doll or my apple, and I started to cry or to struggle for my property, I was told that THEY didn’t understand, but that I should be “iittle lady." And then I was ordered to stand in the corner and think {t over, while the “inferior” person ate the apple or smashed the doll. THAT'S what It means to be superior. It {s always the ‘good child’ who gets double punishment tf he chances to fall from grace, while the “naughty child" receives a double portton of oakes {and sugar plums, if by any chance he happens to be good for half an hour. | The Prodigal Son always has gotten the fatted calf. | Now, probably, with this principle in mind, man constituted himself the | “naughty child” of the human family and has graciously assigned to woman | the exalted but trying role of “good child." “Boys will be boys! he saya, but | “girle must be angels.", Consequently wheneveF a man happens to do the things he OUGHT to do in this world he ts spoken of with awe and admiration ag “A | GOOD man!" It is so unexpected, so unusual! But a woman is never spoken of at all—unless she does something she OUGHTN'T to do. That's because she's SO “superior.” Being an angel ts her | “busine: Eapecially has man encouraged and cultivated her in her sweet end | noble quality of forgiveness, For years he has nailed her to a saint's niche in the ‘wall and said “You stay here until I come back!" while ne went off and | zigszagged all over the downward path, secure in the thought that he wouid | receive complete absolution with her angelic forgiveness, And the more “superior” she was the more opportunity he usually gave her for exercising her powers of forgiveness. An “inferior” wife might occasionally have to be catered to, handled, cajoled, waited on and coddled—vut a “superior” one, never! Therefore, I say that {f men only can persuade themselves and each other that woman IS inferior, it will be a happy day for US! If they only will keep it up until they convince themselves that she {s a little imp with hoofs and horns, Instead of an angel with wings and a halo, our lives will be one long, eweet | dream. Just fancy! We shall have a sugar plum every time we are good or clever, | instead of a black mark every time we are stupid or human. No tonger shall we be told that we are too “delicate and noble and ethereal” to join in their amusements, hear their masonic secrets or “soil our hands with the naughty vote.” In time—oh, Joyful thought!—we may even become too “inferior” to earn our own livings. At any rate, being “inferior” mentally, we can no longer be held responsible for all the world’s woes and all masculine morality or folly. Besides, SOME- BODY has got to be superior; and if girls will be eirls, boys may have to be | angels. Bring on the fatted calf! It looks as though the White Woman's Burden | were going to be lifted at last. ‘As for being called “inferior,” we don’t mind it in the least. We know that the moment men cease to regard us as angels they are bound to regard us as devils—because the one thing on earth that & man never will.scknowledge or belleve is that a woman ts simply HUMAN!
