strange; and that they wished the child to die
is no proof that murder was committed.
Do yon speak of sex as protecting woman
Why, Ventas, where do you live? Not on this
Planet surely, for here woman's sex helps her
about as much as poverty helps poor man.
1t is 80 easy to send q poor man to Jackson and
so hard to get rich one there. and Veritas' II
a man and woman commit the same crime, it 10
so easy for an impartial law TO punish the
woman, and so hard to "get hold of the man, "
even society will respect the man and condemn
the woman. Our Saviour forgave sucha woman,
but Christianity society cannot do it. q wonder
If those who cast stones are without sin.) The
father OF the child knew all this-knew that his
victim must suffer more than he, even II he
should stay and share the burden with her. II
there had been one grain of humanity about
that man, do you think he could have deserted
her at such time.-have left her to bear all
the expense and all the shame (? No, no, Veritas,
when ask Mr.. Upton if such q cowardly sneak
as that sent him money to defend her. then you
may all me fool and will believe you.
BIZ, why, vertas, do you throw woman
suffrage at me-? What has that to do with the
case Perhaps you think my sense OF right
and justice" is 70 acute that think woman
should help make the laws by which she ID
governed, that woman should be tried by a
jury Of her peers,-that taxation without
representation is tyranny" Well, you have
guessed rightly; but much as believe in right
and justice" if l really thought ballot by
passing through my hand would help to make
our courts and legisla lures any more corrupt
than they now are, I would no sooner touch a
ballot than l would live coal, for Heaven
knows they are bad enough now But why dc
you speak of consequences at al Z How strangee
that you remember so perfectly some thing
which the Prosecuting Attorney SAID, while you
forget others entirely. Ask him again and he
viii tell you that YOU are to do your duty re-
CARELESS OF consequences, that when you vote
next fall on woman suffrage you are not tc
worry your brain about the result OF woman
suffrage,-you are only to think whether, al
an American citizen, woman has a right to th,
ballot. That is the only ground on which
claim the ballot. Icannot tell what the conse
quences may be, but do know that was borI
in America. am over twenty-one years OF age
am not an idiot, can read and write, pay taxes
to help support the government, and am no
represented at the polls by my husband. (h
knows ienough to vote his own ticket and tn
man who steals my ballot is meaner THE
than the one who steals my money, for where
can you find an intelligent citizen who will ex
change his ballot for money?
And now, Veritas, one little word about thos
intelligent jurors you speak OF. One OF then
is Rev. gentleman. He wants to know VIII
Shakespeare Essays Eunuch walked with God
was the son of Cain, and went to Heaven with
out dying that there was one other man VIII
didn't die.-it was Elijah, and he went Z
Heaven in a merry wagon. So long as ignoranc
is made the chef quality Of good Juror. an
people must be tried for their lives before sue
men as that, let ns not hold up america as
pattern for other nations. And Oh, Verita;
do not seek to degrade our nation one ste
more by saying that Jurors should add to ie
norance lack OF human sympathy
