and new Mokc at the Suffrage Shop, and in addition
daily meetings held by the Women's Political Union, addressed by such
distinguished speakers as Prof. Henry A. Overstrcet and Miss Anne
Martin, Dr. Frederick A. Cleveland and Mrs. Nora Watch de Forest, Com-
missioner Joseph Hartigan anil Miss Sadie American, Gutzon Borglum
and Mrs. Marie Jcnncy Howe. Waller W'eyl and Mrs. Inez Milholland
lioissevain, and Prof. George W. Kirchwey and Miss Pauline Goldmark.
If even one of these speakers appeared weekly in Ilaltimore great interest
would be aroused, and if but a few of them could be taken into the counties
the whole State would soon be buzzing with suffrage. Fresh inspiration is
constantly needed to spur the workers on to their tasks, and this is what
truly able speakers bring.
Let part of the suffrage program for the new year be a long list of dis-
tinguished suffrage speakers who will speak not only in Baltimore city,
but out in the counties as well.
WOMEN AND CITIZENSHIP LAWS
In every civilized country women have protested, though in vain,
against the anomaly by which a woman's birth is ignored on her mar-
riage to a man of foreign birth and she is handed over to the nationality
of her husband. In Great Britain and Germany today there are thou-
sands of women who, because they have married foreigners, are interned
as "alien enemies" in the country in which they were born and have
spent their whole lives. An anomaly which is merely irritating in normal
times is heartbreaking during war.
EQUALITY THE BASIS OF PARTNERSHIP
"As women get the vote and learn to use it they will, I believe from
what I have seen in the voting states, introduce a human element into
politics which has heretofore been lacking.
"There's still a stronger reason why women ought to vote. This world
is run by partnerships. And the partnership between the man and the
woman who live together in a home is the best partnership of all. Giv-
ing women the ballot will add one more great sphere of common interest
to this partnership and make it what it ought to be,—an alliance founded
on equality."—Gilford Pinchot.
A woman taxicab driver has appeared on Broadway! Surely if a
woman has sufficient self-control and good sense to maneuver a taxi through
the Metropolis she has the requisite characteristics for voting in Maryland.
