OF 97S persons arrested last year by the
police OF this city, S69 were men and 100 were
women. The women according to these Stats
tics ara eight times as vrtuous as the men.
This is caused by their not participating in
politics. Were they to go once year to the
polls and deposit ballot, very much as they
now go every day or two to the postofice and
deposit letter, they would soon become as
bad as tie men. II is the muddy pool Of
politics" that does all the mischief. RcLcve
tho men Of the duty Of self-goYernment and
they would soon become as yirtuous IS the
women. Men do not corrupt politics, it is
politics that coir0lt men. AT present il seems
true that VIC are governed exclusively by that
sex which, according to the statistics VIC have
given, is eight times less vrtuouB than the
disiranchised sex, but isn't this better than
purchasing masculine virtue by sacrf in g
feminine virtue? How generous men are !!
How willing to be demoralZod by politics that
they may eaye their mothers, wives and sisters
from like Generalization Their disintercsed-
ness IN that direction has never been fully ap-
precIatod. Under the circumstances wouldn't
il be well TO dIsirlnchise al moral men that
are left that they may be protected from the
corruptng influences OF sclfgovcrnment Let
the blacklegs, who ara already about as bad as
they can be made, carry on the government.
