The reticence of some women
;earding their ages after that
particular point when they, are
supposed to be -"groyn up' ha
been the subject of jest for many
years. But now it has suddenly
taken .on a political significance
and, as in so many other thing,
Topeka, the capital of "bleeding
Kansas," is the storm center.
The city clerk of that munici
pality, who seems to be a young
man in whom discretion as y.t
been developed up to being t?e
better part of valor, made an ef
fort, probably ill-advised and C3r
tainiy unseccessful, to compel the
women to tell their exact ages be
fore securing their voting certif
icates. A visit from two ladies, cue
described as "a club woman, writ-'
er and politician" and the otner
the president of the Good Govern
ment Club and of the Kansas Wo
man Lawyers' Association, caused
him to see things in a different
light. True, they were armed with,
an opinion of the attorney general
that they need not tell their ex
act ages further than to assure
the election officers that the ap
plicant was "over twenty-one,"
but it is a safe gamble that this
combination, even ""without the
aid of the law, would have speed
ily reduced to pulpy compliance
any mere man who'sought, as did
the city clerk apparently, to rob
woman of this ancient prerogative
Thus sprang into being the
"Twenty-one-Pius Club," which
we are assured is to "spread
through the United States." It
may not be any of the govern
ment's business how old any wo
man is so long as shfTis "twenty
one plus." The raising of such an
issue will not go very far to shake
the conviction of the anti-suffragists
that women who are afraid
to tell how old they are are not
fitted by good sense and discre
tion to assume the responsibilities
of the franchise.
