WOMEN VOTERS.
•Lady Stout, wife of the Chief Justice of New Zealand, is taking a prominent part in the female suffrage campaign, in the Old Country. She addressed a meeting at Eastbourne last month, at which eight suffrage societies were represented. Lady Stout gave a most interesting account of woman suffrage in New 'Zealand, and pointed out that men and women had the common interests of the country and their children at heart. If men were to be great their mothers must be free. Her .speech, which was a most crushing one from the "Antis" point of view, •■ because it entirely knocked over their so-called argument that legislation does not affect the condition of women, was followed with the utmost interest. Mrs Cracroft Wilson, a daughter of Sir John Hall, who. had much to do with the passing of the Woman Suffrage Bill' in flSlew. Zealand, in a vote of thanks to Lady Stout, endorsed all tfhat had been said as to the benefits resulting from the ■ enfranchisement of tw*»an in New Zealand.
