MATTERS OF INTEREST FROM FAR ANP NEAR.

Interview With Mrs. Wooding. In an interview with Mrs. Wooding, which appeared in an Auckland paper, Mrs. Wooding, who, as tho sister of Bntain's Prime .Minister, may claim to have some knowledge of political matters, remarked that even hero tho political plane did not appear to luivo been materially raised by tho exercise, of the female vote. "And then," she went on to soy, "thero is besides not tho factor of a large wealthy, leisured class of women to consider in this country. Women have got the franchise here, and apparently thero they rest content, without showing any special desire to plunge more deeply into politics. But in England thero aro a great nvany women who could not rest content until they wero also in Parliament. Not but that a good many of them would make equally as able politicians as many of tho men. But we who are opposed to tho Suffragette movement do not think that women are yet sufficiently selfcontained and cool in their judgment to become participators in determining the policy of tho Empire. . "Of course," Mrs. Wooding remarked, "thero are not a few of these women that are making themselves so notorious who I really believe have the love of notoriety nearer their hearts than a genuine concern for the proinoi.on of their cause. They are indeed tho greatest enemies of tho movement, for it is they who alienate the sympathies of Ihe people. This labt outburst has certainly retarded the movement many years, probably moro than twenty. As a matter of fact tho anti-suf-fragette movement is quito as strong as the other, though tho work is done quietly. "As for Mr. Asquith himself, although a strong anti-suffragette, ho is quite prepared to waive his own opinion and introduce a bill if it can be proved that a majority of tho women of England desiro tho franchise. But this, we and others contend, is not.the case. And, again, I doubt if. the men would consent to the giving of tho franchise to women, You see, there are over a million, moro women in Great Britain than men, which would give an enormous political preponderance to the, women if they obtained political equality. Such a thing might, exert a very profound influence on the national destiny, and the relationship of tho Empire with foreign nations. No, I do not myself believe in the female franchise at Home, and I think this last business has lost them all immediate chance of even such a concession as tho Conciliation Bill proposed." Protection of Women. A meeting of the Society for the Protection of Women and Children was held on Friday, Mrs. W. A. Evans (president) occupying tho chair. Thero wcro present Mesdaraes A. R.
