By Nixola Greeley-Smith. Every thought- ful pereon who saw the great Woman Guffrage parade last Sat- urday went home with the realiza- tion that what- ever his personal convictions, prej- udices or feel- ings in the mat- ter, Woman Suffrage is coming in New York. Twenty thousand women have never yet sought anything in vain, and these 20,000 who marched in the parade were merely the ad- vance guard of the 2,000,000 adult ‘women in New York State who will cast their ballots as acon asthe Btate Legislature decides that the pre-natal accident of sex is not the determin- ing qualification for oftizenship. ‘What will these 2,000,000 women do with the ballot when they get it, as every one concedes they will even- | tually? Because the bosses fear the an- Swer to this question, because they think the’ woman's vote ‘would free New York City from ite present position as a pocket bor- ough to Tammany Mall, they xilled the Woman Suffrage bill this year. F, Murphy end others this potential feminine electorate seems to carry a menace of 2,000,000 Carrie-Nation-powér—@md it must be admitted that the tpstinct of ¢elf- gentle. BROOM WORSE THAN A STEAM ROLLER. ‘Woman will never run a steam roller, ‘but she will brandish a broom, a droom that sweeps into all the dark corners, that demolishes all the cobwebs, that gets under the furniture—in fact, when women vote in New York they will give the qty as well as the Gtate such @ spring cleaning that Itseowners won't know tt—in fact, they won't consider tt women voters will represent ble unit for morality and reform. Women will vo as individuals, good, bad and. negativ But there ts one thing common to all women, good, bad and negative, which will have Sts effect on legislation the moment women are given a voice in law making—that {s a maternal concern in the welfare of children, apirit which has made the hom success and without which the @tat which should be father and mother to ens, {8 such a failure. ‘The tendency of men is to con- sider that the chief funotion of law ig the protection of property, but women know that the protection of Ufe is the most important thing in the world, This divergence of the masculine and feminine viewpoints 18 natural, for men in the main create property, while women are the creators of life. But it 1s only where both points of view find equal expression in the laws that we can hope for a perfect state, because men regard the rights of property as superior to those of life, Children five years old work in canning factorieg for long hours at night in New York Stage. Babies of three and four string violets together at four cents a gross in 10,000 York City, Ever: where the problem of child labor, the minotaur that feeds on vaby lives, rears its horrible head. IT WILL TAKE TIME TO ABOLISH ‘CHILD LABOR, Now 2 don't believe women have any {dea that they can abolish child labor @t one election or in ten. It t» useless to forbid the work of chiliren whose parents are paid than the living wage, The solution of the child labor problem lies in the establishment of Minimum Wages Boards to determine and fix the least upon which men in the different trades may maintain their families, We may be @ long way from that solution in New York, but we may be sure that the moment a feminine jectorate determines what {s the best means of keeping its children in the schools and out of the factories, that means will be taken in defiance of all the bosses in the world. This is not a theory. It 1# reasonable to deduce what women will do from | what women have done, And where- tw in law making their paramount pre- occupation has been With the care and protection of children. Here is what women have done in Colorado, where women have voted sinc ever women have been accorded a voice “pry TE seinitahiel hassamunneiii ET EVENING WORLD, WEDNESDAY,. What Would Happen in New York IF 2,000,000 Women Had the Right to Vote? Copyright, 1912, by The Press Publishing Co. (The New York Worki). 108. I quote Mrs. Minnie T. Reynolds, who fived and voted in Colorado for years, but who is now a resident of New York and an earnest worker for suffrage here: i ; [ Hg i i PROTECTING THE : MESSENGER BOYS. “The telegraph and teleppone com- panies are the largest employers of boys. Under the Contributory Delin- quency act, the manager of a company who sends @ boy into @ doubtful resort can be sent to jail. The result is the telegraph and telephone companies can- not send boys into surroundings which would bring about their moral ruin. MORALS. OF ‘will take the trouble te ask for them.” CALIFORNIA WOMEN OVER. THROW CORRUPT BOSSE’, Sore of the reforms instanced by Mra. Reynolds prevail, of course, in New York, where women do not vote—yet. In Calffornta, last of six States to adopt full woman suffrage, the first action of the women was to overthrow the cor- Tupt bosses, Women have voted in Australasia for twenty years, Here is the effect of the woman's vote, accord- ing to Sir Joseph Ward, Prime Minister of New Jealand, whom I’ met some years ago: "O VOTE BUYING NOW IN AUS. TRALIA, ‘Corruption {8 practically unknown with us," said the Prime Minister. “I don't (believe a New Zealand office- holder could be found who has paid much as a five-shilling piece for a v in twenty years. That is becau have mo poverty in ¢ @ense that it existe in Mngiand and perhaps in New York, “Under our eyatem of olf age pen- sions, whereby every destitute man or whe has been in New Zealand receives @ pension of $130 can be no old beggare ea in London, “And we have no private charities no good women poking about asking thetr poorer neighbors if they know how to care for their ohiliron, &e.

It is at once investigated, and she ts given so much a’ week for every chit until ter circumstances improve. “No one kndwe anything about it. The neighbors don't pity or sympathize with her. So you see we haven't the first incentive to political conruption— necessity,” finished Sir Joseph. “Are the liquor interests reconciled to the woman's vote?” I asked Sir Joseph. “Why, women are almost as much divided on the liquor question as inen are” the gurprising antwer.

Ae @ matter of there a no gem’ dividion’ on any qiseation, althoust, of course, women have tly improved the condition of thelt own eex among us by the vote.” ‘ ENTHUSIASTIC TRIBUTE TO THE WOMAN'S VOTE. Mark Cohen, editor of the Dunedin Evening Star, of New Zealand, paid an- other enthusiastic tribute to the effect of the woman's vote when he was in ‘New York some years ago. “The woman's vote has greatly re- atricted the liquor traffic,”’ he said. “It has raised the age of consent first from fourteen to sixteen and then to eighteen years, Eventually they will make It twenty-one years, as it should be. “They have forcea the State to endow lying-in hospitals where for @ very small sum @ woman may re- @ecive the best care and attention, and in the case of poor families in the remote districts the Govern- ment installs free telephonts 60 a physician may be summoned at any “They have caused the Government to establish depots for what we term humanized’ milk, the best artificial food for infants known. “Im Dunedin they have obtained ~, Qn annual grant of $2,600, which is age of a lw fixing a minimum wage for apprentices, Formerly cheap drap- ery establishments, what you call de- partment stores, would take girls for & year ‘on trial.’ The girls were glad to work for nothing for the experience. Of course at the end of the year they were @éscharged and others taken on the same terms, The women put an end to that.” WHAT WOMEN HAVE ACCOM PLISHED IN FINLAND. In the duchy of Finland where women eit in Parliament, the effects of woman been thus described, " De. Jackola said, “women members have introduced and passed bills providing imprisonment and a fine for any man who annoys a woman tn the strest, It 1s ¢or the punishment of what you @11 here the masher. “Aipther measure which was an- noun §1 by awoman member and passed by Or Partment provides certain rights for children born out of wedlock, These things are now part of our 1: but the question of maternity insurance has yet to be voted on, The bill pro- vides a pension from the State for the mother for several months before the birth of each ohild and for a period ot] years afterward," ‘The: political actwities taken corners of the earth women speaking different languages and with different aims show one common aim-—the protection of childhood, and the preservation of life. It 1s not un- fair to,asmime that when New ‘women vote they will: show the same concern for things of the aplit the heart—of the home and of the child. Moree Comiti BATH, Me, May Ww.
