A " ' GOVERNING WASHINGTON AND ' THE DIBTRICT OF COLUMBIA , REQUIRES HIGH ABILITY. ' GENUINE TEST OR HER SEX ~~~ * New; . Commissioner r Believes That Women Should Prepare Themselves to Take Up Their Share ef Civio Responsibilities. v By JAMES P. HORNADAV. Washington.—Men who pre In touch with the trend of the t'mes say It is evident that women will not be slow about taking an Important part In gov ernment, federal, and municipal. It Is generally understood that Imme diately after the November elections the women everywhere will begin to ask for places of trust, if not of profit, in the service of their government. Privately many of the men politicians frown on this new manifestation, but they admit that publicly they will have to recognize the right of women to in sist on their share of the appointive offices. In the near future,»lt is pre dicted,' the women will insist on and obtnln their share of the elective of fices. The outgoing administration here nt Washington has shown an inclination to recognize the women .without de lay. The new President, whoever he may be, will have to take notice of the precedent set by his i redecessor. The three important appointive places now held by women here are assistant to the attorney general, mem ber of the civil servicer commission, and member of the board of commis sioners for the District of Columbia. The District commisslonershlp to which Miss Mabel Boardman was re cently appointed, will, it is generally predicted, differ a genuine opportun ity to test the ability of a wom&n to administer the affnlrs of an. Important office. The district Is governed by-a board of three commlss oners, two of whom .are appointed from civil life by the President and one tf whom la de tailed from the anny. Governing Capital Big Task. Governing the capital of the nation Is no unimportant task. The District of Columbia and thq city of Washing ton, In a very real sense, belong to the people of the whole country, and so It is that the government of the District Is subject to a considerable extent to the scrutiny of the whole people through their representatives in congress. Miss Boardman brings to the office to which she has been appointed years of experience as an administrative of ficer of the American Red Ci'oss. To her more than any other one person belongs the credit for the reorganisa tion of the Red Cross, following the retirement of Clara Barton as the head of the organization. She was secre tary of tlie Red Cross at the time of her appointment, as District commis sioner. Miss Boardman believes that women should prepare themselves to take their share of civic responsibilities and for a certain degree of official service., "I believe that this official service will be more apt to function In municipal than In federal government" said she in discussing the future responsibil ities of women. "Municipal affairs have a closer and more immediate contact with the home in certain of their phases. Matters of public health, schools, playgrounds, markets, and charities are all questions in which women are greatly Interested. Their own experiences and training, espe cially when the questions concern their families and their children, will make their service of value to the community." ■ Miss Boardman's Share. It should be said in passing that In the division of the work of the new board, of commissioners for the Dis trict of Columbia Miss Boardman is In charge of public health, schools, playgrounds, and charities. "Federal service, either legislative or executive departments, has to do with a great number of International, financial and business problems," said Miss Board man. "I* deals with treaties, with tariffs, with trade relations, with com mercial interests. with international finances, with', postal management, with national methods of taxation and appropriations, with national defense, public lands, and a score of other Im portant problems for tb • solving of which few women hnv* had either training or. experience." Miss Board man believes, however, t*uit men and women should be selected or appointed because of their fitness for the posi tion and not because they are men |nd womeri. She said: "In her enthusiasm for the things la which she Is deeply Interested woman will feel Intensely the disappoint ments so often to be met In these ef forts for desired results. She may.bat impatient but be iwtient with her, slie_ will learn and her vision will broaden. I am sure we con all agree that the vising of women wIH pot lack In height. Woman will sometimes wish to accomplish things that the more practical and.experienced men will re gard as Impossible, and yet I have known the vision of the woman to sweep away barriers apparently Im movable and «he dream become s reality."

CAMERON MORRIBONk Receiving the largest vote ever cast for a gubernatorial oandldate In the state, Cameron Morrison, of Charlotte, democrat, wis elected governor of North Carolina, defeating John J. Parker, of Monroe, by a majority that prdbably will run to 75,000, and may go beyond that figure. The vote cast for Governor Cox, democratic candidate for President, will run not far be hind that of Morrison, and the vote given Senator Lee S. Overman, re elected to the United States Senate, will probably equal or exceed the Mor rison vote. * These figures are based upon Incomplete and unofficial returns received from about one-haif of the 100 counties In the state. In numbers of the counties the majorities may be Increased by more complete returns, and In some counties this is certain to be the case, However, returns were re ceived from but few of the mountain counltee, where the greatest republican vote, presumably, was polled. I Indications were that the constitutional amendments carried by safe majorities, but the returns reqplved on these were very meager. Indications late Tuesday night were that the democrats had elected all ten at their candidates for Congress in North Carolina. Major Bulwlnkle, run ning against J. P. Newell, In the ninth district, had an indicated majority of some 8,000, which was expected to be reduced by later returns from the western counties. W. C. Hammer carried the seventh district by a majority estimated at least 3,000. R. L. Doughton's re-election in the eighth district was indicated, wille Congressman Weaver was apparently re-elected in the tenth district, his majority being placed by democratic officials at 1,200 to 1,500. The election of Major Charles M. Stedman, In the fifth district. Homer L. Lyon in the sixth. E. W. Pou in tlie fourth. Congressman 8. M. lirinson In the third, Claude Kltchin In the second, and Hallet 8. Ward In the first was assured before the election.
