PEOPLE CAN HAVE IT IP THEY
WISH
Ireenaboro Daily News.
The time has corns—If indeed, It
ms net been trus hitherto—when the
?oople of North Carolina can get
•hetever they with out of their gen
eral eeaambly. They have eo far
failed to get a decant ballot law be
muse they did not wish It.
The popular will moat .Indeed, he
imphetie. No legislative body an
•n upon a new field without Wag
forced to do so. This la perhaps e
■alaLary fact; anyway, it is a fast
It ought not to be neceam^ to force
the administrative side of government
as It toe often la; but doubtless it la
lust ns well that new legislative ven
tures are never taken by legislative
bodies of their own Initiation, thay
never do anything, however demon
strably wise, until they fed that thay
dara not refuse to do it.
The people will ne doubt have to
set about It in the regular way, if
they are ever to have e decent bal
lot law. There will have to be or
ganisation and systematic publicity,
it will require petitions and demon
strations and letters and telegrams—
all the pheomeua of that respectable
ahow of force that convinces legisla
tors, even sometimes against their will
that vox populi is the voice of a body
in earnest, and that will not be re
fllEid.
The Daily News had rather hoped
the present gvneial assembly would
sense the feeling of the new body of
suffragists, and give the people a
secret ballot this time; but there
wasn't really any particular reason
for hope. LegiaUtorr.,riei>>oi special
ise as mind read'-*- It that
the woman voU's have a i*i„».an,
and that Is su'ISowd to be known
to the mtmben'Ufr tho assembly; bat
the very multiplicity of items on the
--jgraro has weakened the items In
uivKlually.
Whenever any considerable body
of the ciUseoi decide, far enaugh in
advaocc, that the protected ballot ia
worth striving for, they can got It
tor North Carolina. And progressive,
ibougtUul citiseas, the Daily News
oalieves, have been underestimating
the value of the secret ballot, erhlch
is the oaly decent sort of ballet

CONVICT
IN WILSON
Jury Out Two Jioora
Returning Verdict of Guil
ty Of Attempt To Lynch
Washington, Feb. 16.—A plea for
“absolute • quality" for nets in the i
application of all States and Federal
win was voiced by gwkwi at the
opening session here today ef the
National Woman’s Party Convention.
The plea was enthusiastically applaud
ed by the assembled delegate*.
The discussion of the legal equality
for women came up'with the presen
tation of a report from the research
committee setting forth legal •’dis
criminations'’ which ths committee
•aid mujt be removed. Asserting that
the ‘‘courts have been and^ atUI are
distinctly masculine Institutions," the
report, as presented by committee
chairman, falsa Sue White, of Nash
ville, Tenn., added.
“They moat become human Institu
tions through the participation of
women In the administration and ap
plication of the Ians. This la Just ns
important aa the formulation of the
Ians. Women should be encouraged
to enter the legal profession, and to
ait as judges and jurors. Until they
era dually represented throughout tbs
entire structure of the institution
there always will ba grave doubt as
to whether women over receive exact
justice in the court*.’’
In th* administration of law* on
divorce and offense* against morali
ty, th* report said, “woman are more
often the victims of injustice* than
the present legal psychology compre
hends.’’
Beplylag to the question raised in
an address by Mr* Nora B. Barney,
of New York, aa to wlvthtr woman
warn willing to forego • “special
privileges" accorded them in the laws
of many States, especially as to “th*
husband’s reapoasibilty for his wift’a
drills," Miss White said:
“Absolut* equality is my answer.’’
No vote was taken on the adoption
of the report, however, which will
com# up for approval at a Inter ses
sion as • resolution.
