JN POLITICS. 1 T rxiwr-andinfluene- e Lay-ton- Almost ev&ry day and sometimes. more than once in a day we are asked the question, "What are you women going to do in political matters in Utah?" Occasionally one adds "are you going to organize on nationatlines?" I suppose people think, newspaper women are the ones who ought to talk or have an opinion on the subject. As for doing, studying politics to begin with an finding out how few rights women have compared to men, and how far they are protected in those few rights, might do to begin with, considering, the Edmund's Tucker law dealt such a sweeping blow to all women voters, that there is scarcely a shadow of a chance to have the franchise restored until very radical changes take place in the condition of things in this Territory. It is possible, to be sure, for women to decide in their own minds,whether they lean more to the Jajrf it is n old Republican or .Democratie saying "the proof of the pudding is in eating it,'' and as neither the one or the other of these or- - anTzations-seem-dispos- - ' do more than to look ori,and see those who have it in their own hands, appreciate all the golden opportunities to benefit themselves. It is sometimes a good thing to stand and wait, and as waiting seems to be about the only thing women can do at present in a political way, its just as well to keep silence too, though "they do say" that is impossible for women. There is an opportunity to look on and leatn and if failures are useful lessons, there may be some-thin- g per-'hap- s '.'';' gained.
