To tfie Editor 0 the Kventno PubtU) Ltiotrl
Sir Judged by the standards of a
city precinct, 132 voters do not present
an Imposing array. More than this
number will probably go to the polls
from one row of houses on Catharine or
Christian street. Yet this represent
the total number of qualified women
voters In a district of about eight or
ten square miles, less than twenty-five
miles from Philadelphia.
It is no small task to reach the women
scattered through these rural townships,
such as Thoruliury, Delaware county,
which has hundreds of counterparts nil
over Pennsylvania. Cities, towns and
boroughs have, many of them, estab
lished their leagues of women voters to
discuss election issues nnd bring out the
new votes. With the old suffrage ma
chinery to rely on, It is not so difficult
to reach the people (women are people
now) In these more compnet rommunl
ties. Hut the long distances, bad roads
and exacting tasks of farm life are a
difficult trio to overcome.
Itrouclit Men Alonjr
In a letter some dnys ago to the
hVEMxo Punuc I.Enonn, the writer
described how the old pioneer suffrage
organization of this township had re
formed to overcome these obstacles nnd
meet the new demands. Within two
weeks two public meetings have been
held the first In rne community chnpel
nt ( he.vney, to present to the women
the newly acquired duties and to ex-
ntnln the nrnces of marking their bal
lots: the other In the little district
schoolhousc of Thornton village, pur
posed to discuss the lisues of th elec
tion with representatives of the political
parties. The first meeting was wholly
for women, although one man drifted
In nnd was made welcome. To,H?'
meeting In the school women were bid
den to bring their men folk, nnd they
did so in surprisingly liberal numbers.
The flual activity before election day
of the committee, of women voters Is
the sending of a circular to the qualified
voters of the township In nn elTort to
get the entire 182 ballots cast, promis
ing that women will be nt the polllnj
place all election day to smooth out em
barrassments nnd difficulties nnd offer
ing to those In remote spots of the town
ship a nonpartisan automobile to take
them to the polls without charge.
Tlirt Meetings In Day
What does this group of country
women sec nt Btnkc that Impels them to
make this effort, with it rather uncer
tain measure of success? To the writer,
no effort Is too great to enlist the farm
women of the state In the service of
representative government. The need
of a real movement In this direction
was strikingly brought home recently,
when, In the span of one day. the writer
attended three conferences of organized
women voters a national committee in
the morning, a county conference In the
afternoon and a township meeting In
the ereninf . There wfta a logic In these
successive discussions which led to un
erringly to an end to be achieved.
The national committee 'was con
cerned with the urgency of securing the
viewpoint of women In international
Bcreementa. A crystallization of world
relationship without the' participation
of women from the outset would shut
them out from any share In shaping
the new order which seems to be upon
us. To see to it that women are a de
termlnlng factor in all councils between
nations now and henceforth is the Im
mediate task of the enfranchised women
of America, To wait until the process
of molding new International relation
ships is even partially complete is to
defeat this purpose. Among tho women
present at the morning meeting In the
city there was no divergence of opinion
on this point.
Candidates Discussed
The county conference, which the
writer attended nt the county sent in
the afternoon of the name day, centered
most of its attention upon tho qualifica
tions of candidates. National and in
ternational policies made way for dis
cussion of personal fitnew of prospec
tive officeholders from the county to the
state. There was necessarily less unity
of purpose in a meeting of this kind.
The members came' from widely scat
tered districts, and there was evident n
natural variation of policies which had
nbt'had time, In the short lnt6rvnl since
'the pnrsage of the nineteenth amend
ment, to find direction or leadership.
There was, however, the healthy symp
tom of. active, outspoken discussion.
The township meeting in the evening
would probably be duplicated In charac
ter In any country district. In the
earlier meeting, in the chnpel, questions
of local Interest had aroused consider-'
able comment from the floor. In (his
second meeting the speakers confined
themselves largely to the national issues
and, though people seemed interested,
there was no response to urgent Invita
tion for discussion,
Where Need Is Greatest
It Is In these inaccessible districts of.
the countryside that women have thclrJ
greatest work to do. rsot that city pop
ulations have passed beyond the need
for political education, but agencies
nlready exist in most cities that only
require, larger us,o and development. In
this, ns In other educational matters,
the farming folk arc at a disadvantage.
There is little to bring them into touch
with the larger affairs of the nation,
which, after all, usunlly cornc home to
their front doorstep.
No fitter use of the district school-
house could bo conceived than its use
by the mothers Of the countryside for
occasional gatherings' to 'hear about
things which their ballots will .decidc--from
local school directors and road
supervisors to the council of the League
of Nations. In splto of a natural hesi
tancy, the women are starting in upon
their new-found citizenship free of lim
iting traditions and fresh in outlook.
They can be reached through organiza
tions" such' as mtn have .never 'formed
amonc themselves. It is not too great a
task to, work' for' the establishment
throughout Pennsylvania of groups of
country women who 'will keep the com
munity responsive to tho great Issues
which are. stirring .the nation. , This Is
not simply a pre-election flurry of ac
tivity; it represents a permanent job-
to create an informed oninion tnrougn
the country, to be registered through the
ballot, on large as well as local affairs.

For almost three months the Philadelphia Real Estate Board has been conduct
ing an advertising campaign in the Philadelphia papers.
It is an unselfish campaign, planned on big, broad lines for the good of Phila
delphia and the making of a Greater and Better City.
Each advertisement carried a distinct and direct message ; and though many
topics were touched upon, the whole trend of thought was that the financial
institutions of this city must help finance the man who wanted to buy or build
a home.
Philadelphia's need for a Bridge, a Stadium, a Convention Hall, more Bathing
Beaches was the subject of one talk.
Another spoke of the help of the Building and Loan Associations in fostering
thrift, and in helping the Philadelphian borrow money to buy his own home.
Yet another spoke of Philadelphia's shortage of Homes that though an aver
age of 8000 homes yearly were erected before the war, only 1 100 would be built
in 1920.
One advertisement said that too little Philadelphia money was invested in
Philadelphia, and urged every individual and corporation with funds to invest
in homes, Commercial Properties and Factories, so Philadelphia could grow as
befitted the third City in the United States.
So far-reaching and civic in their character were these advertisements that
Mayor Moore, in a talk before the Poor Richard Club, two weeks ago, told
these representative advertising men that the Philadelphia Real Estate Board
was doing a great constructive work for the city in the series of advertisements
they were running.
We feel that, with the help the financial institutions of this city can give us in
investing in Philadelphia mortgages, that our efforts toward a "Greater and
Better City" will not be in vain.
We are doing our part. It is up to the financial institutions to do theirs.
Help the man who wants to build or buy help keep Philadelphia in her proud
position before the world as the great, unchallenged "City of Homes."
