Show A Factor I or Purification. The Hobokeu (N. J.) News publishes an interview with Mr. Minturn regarding regard-ing the recent application of Miss Mary Phillebrook for admission to the bar of that state. Mr. Minturn is corporation attorney and a member of the firm with whom Miss Phillebrook has studied law. He is of opinion that the legal fraternity is favorable to women attorneys, and that if the supreme court should decide that this young lady cannot be admitted to examination for admission to the bar the legislature will pass a law to admit women, and that the bill will be drawn and pressed to passage by lawyers. Mr. Minturn holds, further, that all professions profes-sions and honorable occupations, including includ-ing public office, should be open to women wom-en and that they should be allowed to vote. He thinks American politics will be cleaner when mothers, wives and sis ters carry the influences of home to the ballot box. |
