Writing upon general principles,
Robert Burdette af1irms his high
opinion of woman in the independent
sentence below:
Because she is too independent to pay
the landlord S. for her dinner and then
pay the head waiter ST to send her a
walter who will bring it to her for fifty
cents. Because she will hold her money
IN her own little right hand for two hours
until she first gets a RECEIPT for it from
the fellow who made her husband pay
he same bill five times last year. Not
any 9 just give you credit for it for her.
Because one day Pullman porter com
planned to me "No money on this trip;
to many women aboard. Don't never
get nothing out of women ceptin just
her regular fare. " had just paid him
twenty-five cents for backing one Of my
shoes and losing the other. And when
he said that, when saw for myself the
heroic frmneSS of these women, travelling
alone, paying their fare, and refusing to
pay he salaries of the employees of
a wealthy corporation, | said; "These
women have right to vote. To vote?
By all that is brave and self-reliant and
sensible, they havea right to run the
government.
