'America For Americans
PEKSOXAL OPINION
o
Refusal to Grant Woman
Suffrage Menaces
America's Leadership
By Mrs. CARRIE CHAPMAN CATT,
President National American
'S'o.mjn Su'lrj^e As
aocid'.ion
THE overwhelming majority by
which the British house of
common-; has committed itself
to woman suffrage is the strongest
possible argument for enfranchise
ment of the women of this nation by
federal enactment.
IT IS NOTEWORTHY THAT THIS ]
RECOGNITION COMES FROM THE
LEGISLATIVE BRANCH OF THE
GOVERNMENT AND NOT BY A DI
RECT VOTE OF THE PEOPLE, AL
THOUGH THE BILL IS REPRE
SENTATIVE OF POPULAR SENTI
MENT.
It is not doubted that the house
of lords w;ll respect this sentiment.
The house of commons can pass a
measure ever two vetoes of the
house of lords when, with the king's
signature, it becomes a law. The
sentiment for woman suffrage in
England has grown to such an ex
tent in the last tiiree years that the
further parliamentary action now
involved may be regarded as a
formality. In calling attention to
the example set by Great Britain
the National American Woman Suf
frage association ajrain points out
that THE UNITED STATES IS
LOSING ITS LEADERSHIP IN
DEMOCRACY.
Not True to Life.
"How very few statues there are of J
real w<anen." 1
"Yes; it's hard to get them to look I
right."
"How so?" f
"A woman remaining still and say- (
lng nothing doesn't seem true to life."

Breathes there the man with soul so dead
Who never to himself hath said,
This is my own, my native land!
Whose heart hath ne'er within him
burned,
As home his footsteps he hath turned
From wandering on a foreign strand?
If such there breathe, go, mark him well;
For him no minstrel raptures swell;
High though his titles, proud his name,
Boundless his wealth as wish can claim,
Despite those titles, power, and pelf,
The wretch, concentered all in self,
Living, shall forfeit fair renown.
And, doubly dying, shall go down
To the vile dust from whence he sprung,
Unwept, unhonored, and unsung.
