WOMEN'S INTERESTS Woman's Duty As A Voter * Is Most Timely Subject Addre#* l?\* Mr?. <"uin W.

Churches anil civic organizations are Joining In the movement, ?n I the address by Mrs. Cam W. Mellck at the opening meeting of the Woman's flub hern last week, wn* particularly timely. The address was so well re reived toy the large attendance of . .H.V&tO. that they. 9ipr???e<t tjyiii ?velves afterwards as feeling that1-' the standard of the club had been raised from the level of a more .^r leas unknown grade to a tre mendously high level which the club must make every effort to maintain .through the coming? year's work. Mrs. Mellck'<i address follow;?: "Woman** Duty as u Voter.? It Is quite likely that many of us who are here will feel inclined to challenge the very title of llm.. subject assigns! to OM, many ?>f WO* feeling that voting i? not it Spatter of duty for a woman, ^whatever It may be for a man. "Many of us women rather feel that We have had suffrage thrust upon us, and we have hot relished the added* burden of responsi bility. "Personally, my own attitude towards suffrage wan that there ?eswntva thingK uieu.could .do. in-_ dependently of women, one was vote, t'other was spit, nnd I --wished not to interferr-with-^ther acrompllHliiflent. "Wo women Just among our selves will admit that w?- enjoy a bit of flattery. Well, then, shouldn't we enjoy the thought that by the vote of thene men.

"However, wo may feel about it. wo know that we are possessed of the power to vote. How will wo use that power? Dare we say we will not use It? What Is this voting for? Is It not to continue in operation a represen tative government in which we all believe regardless of our political affiliation? What Is this gov ernment we are talking about? To quote Mrs. Alice Ames Winter, 'Government is nothing but our selves deciding on our own busi ness, all of us, on the business of pil of us.' ."Most of us think of the gov t as some rar orr orgnnlza _ la our nation's capital In yhlch we have llttlo or no in terest and less concern. As a mat-| ter of fact, government is close to us all the time, even In the re clpes for the ordinary bread and butter of every day. We may not escape It. "And when wime woman with considerable complacency us If she w? re of .some finer clay than crdinury mortals says, 'Oh. I'm not interested In politics. 1'ui not going to vote.' doesn't it sound us it sh?- were really saying. *1 don't care a piu about my h'lsbaud. my children, my home, my town, or tomorrow.'
