Suffrage Would Solve It, Says Niece
of Matthew Arnold.
From the New York World.
According to Miss Ethel M. Arnold
of London, the niece of Matthew Ar
nold, and sister of Mrs. Humphrey
Ward, one of the strongest arguments
lor woman suffrage in England is tnat
it will save many women from the
traffic fate of sinele blessedness.
In a discussion of, the whole ques
tion before the league ot political n;a-
ucation she said tnat to American wo
men, throueh the neculiar protection
nf their rights and unassailable Posi
tion, or to rencn women, to wiium
the svstem of the bride's dot gives
an added independence, the ballot
mirht nnt seem necessary. Even in
Rome, Miss Arnold pointed out, the
sexes are more nearly equal, men
being fit no such "unwholesome pre
minm" ns in Txindon.
"In London society," said the speak
er, "a clever wife can float a dull hus
band, but a man with a dull wife is
forced to leave her at home. The
dearth of marriageble men in England
is appalling. Many women in the
higher classes have remained unmar
ried. This hideous and tragic waste
nf life cannot continue indefinitely.
"With the new statue the franchise
wrould- give them the masculine con
tempt toward this class would disap
pear. They would seek i outlets for
their energy elsewhere and go to other
cpuntnes whei;e. women, are aax a:ipre
minm. " ' . ...
"England has the idea that there is
little interest in the feminine move
ment in America, and this seems true
nf the well-to-do classes.
"Perhaps if I were an American I
shonlrl not want to vote." . she con
tinued. "Ther is such a thins as ex
changing the substance for the shad
ow. But the fact, if fact it be, that
women do not need the vote should
not blind them to the I interest of the
race. The movement is on. If the
women of the world unitev they will
get it." ' '
