NEW YORK has been brightened lately by the presence of a vivid personality in Miss Kate Barnard, State Commissioner of Chari- ties of Oklahoma. Miss Barnard is here in the interests of the 101,000 Indians of Oklahoma whom she regards as her wards, and especially so a number of Indian orphans for whose training she is raising an en- dowment. "Oklahoma Kate" is very single minded in the pursuit of her object, but at the public meetings she addressed she paused to state that she was thoroughly ashamed of the fact that the suffrage campaign in Oklahoma in 1910 did not And her fighting in the ranks of the suf- fragists. "If only I had heard some of your splendid New York leaders," said Miss Barnard, "they would certainly have convinced me, and I should not now have to nurse the memory of a great opportunity for doing good which I lost by not working for suffrage in 1910. "How did I become a suffragist? Why I think it was by reading Olive Schreincr's great work. "Woman and Labor" which first opened my eyes. I then saw the way women's work and interests have been closed in. Again I have only to look at legislative records in equal suffrage states to see that woman suffrage brings good measures. "Take, for instance, the question of an eight-hour law for women. Women workers who need this law so badly can only get it when they have the power of the ballot." Miss Barnard, the Western born Irishwoman, her whole personality alive, vibrating with enthusiasm for her work and her people, in her own person is one of the best arguments for giving women a share in gov- ernment. When next the issue of suffrage is raised in (tklahoma. Miss Barnard is going to work for it just as hard as she is now working for her Indian orphans. W. B. & A.
