By Mary Blankenhorn. INCE the municipal election in Chieago two New York new § papers, albeit both of thei stanch suffrage organs, have ¢o emnly proclaimed to the world at large that since men an! women votgd proportionately in the same way the vote of women | that election at least must be reckoned on the one hand as “superflu ous,” being only an added expense to the State, and on the other, that “the outcome would have been the same if men alone had voted or, ‘women alone had voted.” The second challenge rebuts the first. Tt is easy to appeal to the economic instinct of the editorial mind by showing that since but} one-third of the voters in Chicago were women, who voted in the same Patio as men, the simplest and cheapest manner of holding elections | fin Chicago would be to allow only women to vote. | THE DOMINANT WEST. By Rose Young. LMOST one-half of the area of the United States is included A in the woman suffrage States. Area doesn’t vote. But people vote. And, as it happens, the great Western stretch of ter ritory where women vote is that part of the United States which is most rapidly filling up with people. Given one or two more decades and there will be a great corps of women voters in the West, women trained as men are trained to civic and political responsibility, trained to active political co-operation with men, trained to the Western point of view. As long as the East persists in the unenfranchisement of women, for every couple, man and woman, in the East there will be one vote. For every couple, man and woman, in the West there will be two votes, Woman’s Place Is on the Stage By Ethel Watts Mumford Caprriaht, 1915, by The Prewe Publishing Co.

Bat It 1s the men who are clinging to the ancient and exploded ideas about women who are blocking our getting the vote, These men believe that we women are what we know we ere not, and they are keoping us from being what we want to be. It is astonishing what a lot of things a woman can do without being stigmatized ‘unwomanly,” She can work twelve hours a day fn a mill, or scrub all through the night in the offices of “the tired business man,” or offer her soul for eale on the street. But cast a vote? Not only “unwom- any,” but a peril to the home—that these others don’t possess.
