TABOR took a bold step when It went
Jl In for politics. So did women. Both
went beyond their admitted prerogatives
and known virtues to attempt a new
service. Their movements are linked
together, though not appearing so on the
surface. Labor's highest political func
tion ia to safeguard the independence and
security of home life through the Just
reward of Industrious homo makers and
1
the protection of women and minora from
an unfair pressure of modern economlo
conditions. So Is women's.
Like alt social forces seeking political
expression, and fiercely combated at tho
start, labor and women have been at
times flurried, divided and unreasonable.
So it was said, of course," that women
could not reason and that, labor would
;iot. But this Is averred of all who seek
to expand their service from a special
to a general Hold. Of course the me
chanic, fresh from his special task, will
draw some false conclusions from the
loglo of his Immediate environment. He
will for a time look at mechanics through
the small end of the telescope and the
rest of the body politic through the big.
end. Of course the woman, similarly
emerging', at first made her plea for
woman rather than for citizens!
The case for women seeking the ballot
la perfect. The onl- thing that can hurt
It Is un insistence on special pleading,
just aa special pleading la the only thing
that can hurt labor. The case for suf
fragists la that they are seeking the
vote for all citizens rather than for
women. Any plea for an Improved suf
frage, to gain lasting sympathy, must
rest on an expressed desire for an im
provement in the use of all ballots,
whether men's or women's. It Is on pa
trtotlo ground that Mr. Hughes stands in
considering suffrago primarily -with ref
erence to the common welfare of the
whole people. That women should work for
the common welfare In voting and In
getting the vote is more important than
that they should get bare justice here
and there. In limiting the discussion to
an academic question of States' riehts
Mr. Wilson haa thus far emphasized the
special-class and unsound premises from
which some suffragists argue. He wants
each State tj wrangle locally over the
confused local aspect of a woman vote,
which Inevitably brings up the issue how
women will vote In each particular State
as a special class. Mr. Hughes wants
the question token out of the special
(State) columns on the ballot and put In
the general (national) columns, on tho
same principle that he wants labor legis
lation to be general and nbt special.
The objeotlon to national suffrage, to
be consistent, should extend to the
many national activities of unfranchised
women. Women have had most to do
with the social service which exposed In
sanitary working conditions and produced
better laws protecting women. They have
done Invaluable work in exposing such
evtlu as that of narcotlo drugs, which play
their greatest havoo In degrading women.
It was through the experiences of women
trying to rescue such victims that the
agitation for the Harrison drug act re
ceived Impetus, and the present drug in
quiry la the result of the efforts of
women social workers aa well aa men.
If 'the country wants to discourage
these great humanitarian pursuits of
women by blocking their further develop
ment It can do so by cutting off its
nose to spite Its face.

SJJSAN B. ANTHONY'S ARGUMENT
To the Cdlfor 0 fJie Evtninp Ledger:
In view of President Wilson's Insistence
that the native-born women of the United
States shall continue to be humiliated by
having to appeal to the entire malo popula
tion of the country, native and foreign,
white and black, for a right that, under a
democratic form of government. It Is a
crime to deny them. It Is Interesting to turn
to that defender of womankind, Sunan B.
Anthony, and reread her stirring words. In
1894 Miss Anthony appeared before the
congressional committee In Washington
and In the following words begged for a
favorable consideration of the amendment
drafted by her In 1875 and Introduced Into
Congress every year Blnce 1878. For the
passage of this amendment, which still
bears Miss Anthony's name, the Coneres
slonal Union for Woman Suffrage was
formed and Is devoting Its entire strength.
Also behind the amendment the National
Woman's party Is standing as a unit. In
February, 1894, Miss Anthony said:
You aslowhy v,e do not go to our sev
eral States to secure this right. I an
swer because we have neither the wom
en nor the money to make the canvasses
of the thirty-eight States, school district
by school district, to educate each Indi
vidual man out of the old belief that
woman was created to be his subject
Four State legislatures submitted the
question of striking "male" from their
constitutions Kansas, Michigan, Col
orado and Nebraska and we made the
beat canvass of each which was possible
for a disfranchised class outside of all
political help, but two men out of every
three voted against It We now
appeal to you to lift the decision of our
question from the vote of the populace
to that of the legislatures.
Every new privilege granted to
women has been by the legislatures.
The liberal lays for married women,
the right of the wife to own and control
her Inherited property and separate
earning, the right of woman to vote at
school elections In a dozen States, full
suffrage In two territories, all have been
gained through the legislatures. Had
any one of these bepeflcent proposi
tions been submitted to the vote of the
rank and file do you believe a majority
would have placed their sanction upon
lt7 I do not
I beg you, Mr. Chairman and gen
tlemen of the committee, that you will
at once recommend the submission of
the proposition noy before you, and
thus place the declaldn of this great con
stitutional question of the right of one
half of the people of this republic to a
voice 1 the government with the leg.
Islatures of the several States. You
need not fear that our enfranchisement
will come too suddenly or too soon by
this method. After the proposition
shall have passed Congress by the
requisite two-thirds vote. It may re
quire Ave, ten or twenty years to secure
Its ratification by the necessary three
fourths of the legislatures; but, once
submitted by Congress, It always will
stand until ratified by the States.
It takes all too many of us women
from our homes and from the works of
our charity and education In our respec
tive localities even to come to Washing,
ton session after session until Congress
shall have submitted the proposition,
and to go from legislature to legis
lature urging Its adoption. But when
you Insist that we shall beg at the feet

WILSON, MAN OP FATE
To the Editor of the Eventno Ledger:
Sir You can't say that the country al
lowed the Democrats to slip Into office by a
fluke. It was the hand of fato that split
the Republican party. Fate has existed
since the creation of the world and has
controlled crises, destinies, etc, thousands
of years before the birth of the Democratic
and Republican parties. In the affairs of
the world a man Is created for each crisis.
Fate favored Wilson In 1912 as the right
man to handle the affairs of this republic
Jn the ainforeseen crisis about to be
wrought by the European war bursting
put two years later. Fate, with the aid of
logic, expects Wilson's re-election because
of the beginning of the end of the war In
F.urope. He Is our "Uneeda" President.
Talk of the United States being despised
by foreign nations is nonsense. Edison saya
that "neutrality Is a mighty trying policy,
but back of It are International law, the
right of humanity and the future of civlll
ration. Wilson is the best man for another
term, according to the rules of logic.

Sir To my mind ' President wit.,...
not only occupying the chair at the White
xiuuao. qui aiso mis the bill as literary
artist His vein of literary style is very
similar to that of Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Read his "Friendship and Love," and note
p1reeIlent Wilson's proximity of expres
sion. Emerson gets his quaint s'tyle of ex.
preeslon from the old German masters of
philosophy. In "Friendship and Love" take
.Bn . J0 tns divergence of words, but
withal bringing home their true meaning.
Now read the President's address In Mori
day's Evbmino Lbdoeb, which wa given
at Hodgenvllle. Ky.. on Abraham Lincoln,
the emancipator. How striking the similar
lty of mode of expressing thought and feel

Pons Aslnorum
More letters have been received making
similar objections to the statements In
this column about the Pons Aslnorum
"Bridge of Asses," or great stumbling
block In geometric problems than there Is
space for. The contention Is that the prob
lem of an Isosceles triangle (sides opposite
equal angles are equal) Is the real Pons
Aslnorum and not the proposition that the
square of the hypotenuse of a right-angled
triangle Is equal to the sum of the squares
of the other two sides. It Is true that some
dictionaries take this view, but on the
other hand, graduates of the best schools
In this city are for the hypotenuse problem
as their favorite "Pons," and It has seemed
probabl to the editor of "What Do You
Know" that this Is the view of most Amerl
can students. There la nothing official about
the statu of "Pontes Aslnorum" possibly
we have evolved a new one. One UtUr on
the subject has been printed; others are
so much alike that their writers will forgive
the generalising of them In this comment
But it would be very Interesting to learn
from some one the history df the use of this
much-debated term.
