- WOMEN DEMANDING EQUALITY.
Characterize The Darning Needle As
The Devil's Invention.
I The feminists have stormed the
| white House, and demanded of PresiI
dent Harding that he support legisWg
lation which will make woman, in reIi'.*
ality, the equal of man. It is said that
B^Qthe president expressed the hope that
9 W^Woman might never be the equal of
I man, but might continue to be his
superior.
W The legislation the women demand
is regarded as simple on its face. But
it might work a revolution in its operation.
It generalizes rather than
specifies, and strong and persistent effort
will be necessary if it is ever to
get through congress. At any rate,
that seems to be the judgment of conservative
members of the legislative
department of the government.
One of the ablest and most aggressive
feminists in Washington has to
a limited extent, specified Miss Gertrude
Van Hoesen. in addressing a
large gathering of working girls at
the local Y. W. C. A., characterized
the needle as the invention of the
devil. When that remark came pat
Mrom her lips, newspaper men sought
to observe whether or not she had sacrificed
judgment for pungent rhetoric.
Hut, no. She meant it.
"There is no inspiritation in darning
socks," she continued: "or in washing
and ironing ore's own shirtwaists
?at least, not for the American business
woman. When Sister Sue comes
home from office she must take a
hand at doing up the dishes or darning
Brother Bob'- socks.
"No, indeed! When she pays her
mother her bbard she has discharged
her domestic obligation. She must not
expend valuable energy in such efficiency
destroying tasks as crumbing
" * ? 17
KB tne linen or arymg tea cups, rw
Wm father and brother never do houseM
work after a hard ("ay at the office.
"Did you ever see father making
over last season's pants? Then why
r should a womhn use up her energy
in such work?"
It is this idea ?*f feminine independence
that the feminists are determined
to write into organic law. And
ther is much of divorce and illegitimacy
of children, division of profits
and inheritance.

o
l Insanity as a Plea
I The sensational arrest of Vaughn in
/ a Florida town revives interest in one
of the blackest crimes in the history
of the state, and it emphasizes too, the
absurd lenght to which the plea of
insanity may be carried in the courts
to save a criminal from his just deserts.
Vaughn pleaded insanity and "by
consent of the state's prosecuting attorney
he was removed from the state
penitentiary, where he was being held
pending the outcome cf an appeal, to
fcncnital for the insane for obser
Vliv. <?vwr.^.
ration. When the solicitor asked that
he be brought back to Greenville to
be sentenced again to the death chair
the doomed man, possibly with the aid
of friends or confedrates, succeeded
jp'A in making his escape and has been
^.at liberty until his apprehension in a
suburban town of Tampa,
w Vaughn was normal enough, in his
Florida home to be accepted and employed
as a teacher. Evidently his con
duct and actions were those of an o'dinary
man, or he would have been
A
, dropped by his employers. 'As soi
however, as he is detected and plac
i under arrest the old feint of insani
if. again attempted with all the ar
of a good actor, and there may 1
j those who will still hold that the m;
. is mentally deranged.
But insane or not, why should
criminal be permitted in our courts
; justice to escape lunishment on th
kind of a plea? The chief object
punishment is to protect society, an
sane or insane, the perpetrator of i
famous crimes should be speedily pu
ished either by forfeiting his life <
by going into enforced denial of h
liberty for the rest of his days.
The insanity plea is used as a coi
venient makeshift to save a criminal
neck or to secure interminable dela;
and thus finally defeat the ends <
justice. It is one of the crying sham<
of our system of jurisprudence.?Ai
