“4 men oul Remedy All Worlad’s Ills What They Need Says. George Madden Martin Is a Great Leader —and — = A Common Cause Then They Could End War, Stop Lynching, Make Public @pinion Force Any Chosen End. By Marguerite Mooers Marshall. Copyright, (Now York Evening AVorid) by the Prees Publishing Co, FAT ae wo’ 4, moving within some common policy, determine upon it she cag end war. “Should she decide upon it, she can stop lynching in the United States. “I would have her grasp that, through moving together, she can remedy what she will through the force of her insistence, backed by her numbers; can impose her will to any chosen end upon pubdlic opinion.” Je ig the rallying call of George Mf _en Martin, author of the new- est feminist novel, “March On," to the members of her own sex. This is the reminder from an earnest and widely popular woman novelist, who also is associate editor of the Woman Citizen, that winning the vote is only the beginning of the modern woman's progress ahd not the end; that, instead of retiring to her tents, she must "march on” to new battles and victories, © . Any one who reads “March On,’ this picturesque survey of | the ‘woman movement up to the casting of the American woman's first elec- toral yote, published by D, Apple- ton & Co., will want to say to the author, “March on—where?" For Mrs. Martin seems to have left tho women of to-day in a position summed up by the old catch-line: “We don't know where we're going, but we're on our way.” “Don't they know?” I asked Mrs. Martin herself. “At any rate haven't you some definite idea as to the goals of the immediate future toward which women should march?” Then 1 discovered that this charm- ing, intelligent Kentucky novelist an: feminist belteves that the success!ui onward march of her countrywomen depends on the following factors: The women themselves must de~ cide upon a common policy and fixed ends. They must march along natural lines, as an army of mothers. They must move away from party and the man-made party; from the poisons of partisan ship. - They need most of all just now a great ieaver of their own sex, “There are entranchised women and enfranchised w tin was quick to varieties as ther men, But as tion of intedigent women taro: the country, tarougn woom we hope to reach ana tank women at large, my feeling 18 that it would be weil tor us to pause, mark time and take stock of ourseives and the around us common policy, detegmine upon it she can end war. Should she aecide upon i she can stop iyneuans mn Ul Unived states. Therefore my that the American woman dec a policy ana, fixing her end: this policy, find out her cap gex solidarity. J would have that through moving togeth can remedy what she will arough t force of her insistence, backed by her numbers; can impose her will to any chosen end upon public opinion. “It is along her natural lines chat 1 would have her move,” continued Mrs, Martin, “The natural hous Keeper, the conserver, te mother, 1 would have her move away from cleavage through party, from parti sanship and its corroding poisons. I would have her think and ponder with the power of her franchise in her con- sciousness on the thousands who are wretched; the ignorant, the over- crowded, the underfed; the diseased, the criminally abnormal, the prosti- tuted, the exploited. It seems to me here is the call and the response, throngh the power of her franchise, to her instinctive motherhood.” “Then you think that the American woman should not march along the same political road with men, tho good old reliavle party road?” I sug- gested. “A Woman's Party is the unspeak- able thing—says every man and every organ of man,” smiled Mrs. Martin, “What does woman think about it? She has voted now through the existing machineries. Looking at results, does she feel that she has, vi has not, sold her birthright for a mess of pottage? If she has, is the pottage satisfying? As a diet for the future, is it adequate? “On the other hand, shall the best ‘women unite with the best men, and this combined group use Its strengl+ and its intelligence te impose its will ‘on party and public? Or yet again, shall women inquire Into the oblig tion upon the voter to go into any party at all? George Washington's plan made no inclusion of govern- ment by party.” Our own Gov. Miller, I reflected, would consider Mrs. Martin—and George Washington too—in need of a scolding on the subject of purty loyalty, But I myself had absolutely mo inclination to deliver such a re- buke. So I merely asked if she thought our much criticised younger generation of women sufficiently earnest to “march on” with serious purpose. At once I found an ardent champion for them, *t glory in the younger gene! young men and young wome: young men. “The young men and young women of the world have a right, at this moment, to a tangible griev- ance. In this conference in Wash- ington, the youth of the world has no representative, no yolce in the eouncils deciding » future that is theirs. To me, the ‘moral holiday,’ which the critics acct.sce our younger women of taking, is the pause in the midst of the changing traditions of our older world about her, while she finds herself. 1 believe it is the hour, as before in history, that preced @ moral and spiritual renaissanc: “Are women going to ‘get there’? I asked Mre. Martin, finally. “Will the forward march of womes arrive where gow want tt to go?” tion, ex- claimed Mrs. Martin. ‘Youth has never yet failed the world. Buddha was a young man, Christ was a youag man, Jeanne d'Arc was a young ‘woman, the passport of Charlotte Corday, as she went her way to Paris, read ‘agee de 24 ans.’ The American Revolution was the con- ception, the gift to the world, of “frankly, 1 don't know,” answered this latest interpreter of modern wo 1anhood. “The most beneficent an, glorious thing that could happen for woman right now, in my opinion, would be a great leader of her vwn sex, a beacon light pointing her and her energies to an elected end. I do not recall that woman in this sense ever has had her own great and popular leader, unless we can so consider Susan B, Anthony. Yes, 1 would wish a great woman leader for the American women right now, and a commo:. ar “le end.” (KDE RRR OH AE = You Often Read & & . About Him GEORGE AGNEW CHAMBER- LAIN.

Peggey represented the hardier, stur- dier type of girl with her dark orown bobbed hair and flashing blue eyes which had a trick of looking black at night.
