O. II. Benson I of tlie Department of Agriculture, who ' in charge of the b^s' and girls' club 1 work in northern and western state-. j writes an interesting introduction to ; Johnson's present article in which lie shows how farm women are learn- , ing to care more for their work and to less desire to get to the cities. Be ! adds: "In a Western community a county superintendent made a survey of twen-ty-five farmers who had retired from farm life and moved into town. When they were asked their reason for leaving the farm, seventeen of the twenty- j five stated definitely that they did it , please their wives and daughters.

i . WHY WOMEN WANT TO VOTE

JOHN MITCHELL ' STRONG FOR SUFFRAGE ; Women list Ballot For ChiF dron's Good. i * 1 ; Johu Mitchell. formerly president of " (he United Mine Workers of America '• 1 aud now chairman of I he Industrial ! i urn mission of New York, repeatedly , ' asserts Ills belief in the efficacy of the I j woman's vote aud lielieves that every jLwoiker wjth a viakm must be con- '■ viuced that tlie Industrial problem by ! and In rge cannot be eoleed its til all wo1 men vote. He said (e-Aatly: . "The organized wockingmen hare j l .ecu practii-al anil earnest advocates j of woman suffrage for nearly a quarter ' ' of a century, aud it is safe to predict * j that the organized wage earners will ' I cuutiiiiie their advocacy of equal suf- - | truge until this fundamental right aud , j justice shall lie secured to the women I . of every M,ute in the American Union. , ' "Working men are advocates of equal I I suffrage, first, because it Is tight that 1 all who liear the burdens aud enjoy ' I the protection of government shall fie 1 ' entitled to equal participation in the i; affairs of the government; second, be i .-a use they- know iu a vital way that nltliout the liallot' wage earning wom- | ' en are tillable to protect themselves ' against wrongs and the uuuecessary 1 hardships incident to and connected with our marvelous industrial devel1 opuient. "But quite apart from economic and industrial consideration women should he enfranchised because It would he to tbe best Interest of the people of the whole nation for women, with their finer moral perceptions, to participate actively lu the affairs of the goTeru ment. Whether women would exercise on all occasions greater Intel!! genre than men I am not prepared to ■ any. nor is this necessary to assert, but 1 believe that upon all great moral questions affected by legislation, upon questions involving education, the pro lection of children, the promotion of health aud such other matters, tbe 1 majority of women are better qualified than tbe majority of meu to vote wise ly aud inde|iendently." WOMEN WILL HAVE 182 VOTES | IN REPUBLICAN CONVENTION, i i The equal suffrage states, where wo- , men have the ballot, will cut quite a ■ figure in the next Itepublican national , convention, having a representation of , 182 under the tentative plans of the Republican national committee for a , convention of 003 delegates. , The list includes Illinois, with fifty- ( eight votes. This state has not com- ] plete woman suffrage, but tbe wdmen t vote there for tbe head of the national , ticket and will make themselves felt : In the convention. Tbe other equal ( suffrage states are Arizona, California, t Colorado. Idaho, Kansas. Montana, t Nevada. Oregon. Utah, Washington , and Wyoming. |

WHERE INDIRECT INFLUENCE FAILS C L. Stooaker, secretary Bute CharI ties Aid, In a letter to the Newark Evening Newa writas that It Is almost . Impossible to make desertion a crime in order to make the lives of New Jersey's neglected children less hard. He r attributes tbe lack of interest and ef- , foKh tit the legislators in making such 1 a law to the fnct that wife deserters r are generally voters and the legislators , are afraid to offend them. For three years efforts have beeu made to secure r. better law on this . subject than that of 1908. hut we have met trouble every time by reason of the lawyers down at Trenton. We desire a law that will bring back u nioth- , er who deserts I Kith husband and child and runs off with some other man to another state We desire a law that I will permit, in certain cases, the commitment of a deserting husband and I father to the state prison. Tbe difficulty of securing a point of view makes our efforts in social legis- < lotion so slow of accomplishment. We >ust cannot get our legislators to understand that we are striving to secure relief and benefits for children. But -.-bildren do not have the right to vote for members of the assembly and men do. A willful deserter aud a bad citizen generally Bas a vote, aud in Rome counties where elections are close these few votes of the good-for-nothings count for much. Hence legislators seem to want not to offend wife deserters, and they fear a loss of a few votes if they commit themselves to a vote upon making desertion of families a prison offense. 1 can find no other reason for tbe reluctance to pass such an act. Last winter there was no end of quibbling over such a bill. It may have been a 3 faulty bill. It "remains today no easy thing to get a drastic penalty for men li who desert wives and children. s A PRIVILEGE ABUSED. " Just now the malls of New Jer- * sey citizens are bearing an "Arti- ® cle on Woman Suffrage," Introduced 1 "leave to print" fashion In the Unit- r ed States bona#? by James E. Mar- p tine, senior senator from this state. a Mr. Martlne is opposed to woman suf- " frage. it appears, and what he might to aay on the subject on the floor e of tbe senate would probably be inter- 8 esting- But be did not deliver this "Article on Woman Suffrage." It was 3 article sent to him by the District * of Columbia Association Opposed to r Woman Suffrage, a dry-ss-dust re- h statement of some ancient arguments a against . equal suffrage. Mr. Martlne j did not even read It to the senators. 4 asked permission to have It print- „ ed. It was printed at public expense. 0 And now it Is going through the mails y sj public expense, although It is little e else than a campaign document, sent ,j New Jersey at tills time because of r the approaching suffrage amendment election. This is hardly Justice.— As- 0 I'ark Frees. y tAAKAKAAAVWWWW » J /WV' i h

WHEN A MAN VOTES. 5

) What Is required at present of a man before he can vote in the c j United Stales? * ( j He must Ik- twenty-oae yeqrs old. ? 5 He must lie native born or naturalized. c S In some states he musUbe able to read (In a few southern states there t J are additli.mil educational and projierty qualifications affecting the negro C S voters only). C 5 That is all. f" 3 He is not asked whether he Will use his vote. C 3 He is not asked if all men want to vote. ( 3 He Is not asked if he thinks the laws need changing. ( 5 He is not asked if be will promise to better the laws. C ) He is not asked to give statistics showing whether men have pre- \ J vlously used their votes to better tlie laws. C ) He Is not asked if he is sure he can still be a good father. C J not asked to "remain attractive" after be vote#. But all such ( ) requirements .qnd mote are made of women when they aspire to vote. — \ ) Katherine Campion in Philadelphia Evening Telegraph. \

^ffNATORINMV T-" — ■ £ Refutes StitBBiBBts of Msuffrage Press Agents. Senator Helen Ring Robinson of Colorado immediately refuted chances made against Colorado by J. B. Mating. Edward J. Hand ley and Barrett L. Crandall. who are employed by the antl-snffragists. . when -interviewed on her arrival In tbe east. .Mr*. Robinson has come east to appear In court against suffrage opponents whom she Is suing for *5.000 fof libel nnd to take , part In the eastern equn" -suffrage cam- ' | paigns In answering attacks upon her ! state. "Suffrage In Colorado." she said, "has meant better health lniqiection In the public schools, better chance for earing the Urea i f babies, lower tax rates, fairer property laws, more safety for the protection of girls, greater freedom from typhoid fever, more bnmafie laws In our state. "As for indnstrial disadvantages In Colorado. I must say in Justice to my state tbet, terrible aa the Colorado strike was, there have been more men killed In indnstrial disputes In New Jersey since the Colorado strike began than were killed in our'statel'-' ' ' Renewing tbe Ludlow strike. Senator Robinson credited two women with ■ bringing the strike to a close and declared that two wonderful laws have ; come as an outcome of the strike through the energy of women. "One," says the senator, "to the workmen's compensation law, which makes the industry liable for death or 9 accident to tin employee during the performance o* his duties. The other la an arbitration law. which forbids the calling of a strike without first giving a month's notice to an arbitration commission." Senator Robinson said with a smile that of course there were failures and many imperfect conditions in her state, but that most of the things said by the opposition were "deliberately misopjiosition mls-

such, for instance, as the assertion that I introduced in tbe senate a race track gambling bill, made recently by a Mr. Crandall. "The antls say that we hare not aboldivorces, that Colorado has the highest divorce rate In the country, but is not tbe men and women of Colorado who are getting the divorcee. People come from New York, New Jersey and other eastern states to Colorado to get divorces. Furthermore, our laws have been revised, and it will be harder today for these people from other states to secure divorces in the "State. "I understand that it has also been said that a woman will lose her property righto if she is given the franchise. In New Jersey she has few rights. Even her one-third right In her husband's real estate has been taken away. 1 hear. Aud you women of New do not own a thing. Even yonr secondhand bedstead must bear (he mark 'pa to ma' before you can dispose of it Every piece of land must bear your husband's signature when sold even if the land be yours. I guess you not need to worry over property righto. "You claim that (he honor and virtue of a woman are herehoicest possessions, yet you say that they can be bought and sold at sixteen years of age, but projierty rights you. place at twen-ty-one. In Colorado we give a woman both at eightcn years. Vote Has Helped Women. •What women have done with the vote is not to be compared with whnt i vote to be with what

l the vote has accomplished for women. 1 The broadened view, wider sympathy 1 and more intelligent interest in the uf1 fairs of state have given to women a 1 larger life and-truer comradeship with 1 the men of the household. 1 "•This statement would not apjieal 1 to men or a certain type of mind.' said the senator I understand that a certain former assemblyman In yonr state with whom I recently debated laughed at that remark. The laugh shows the quality of the man. I do not doubt that laugh was echoed Jjy every brothel In New Jersey. " To prove the devotion of Colorado women to their Bisters' cause Senator Robinson began her first day'# work )j w*-tng to Denver for *1,000 to h I«U camnatac
