''There is no more sentiment about
woman suffrage than there is to your
mothers wash-tub. 1t is right straight
up and down business. It is q question
of right-not sentiment. The franchise
can never be logically held as a ques-
ton Of sex That there shall be no tax
alton without representation is cardt-
nal doctrine of a true Republic. To set
this aside on the ground that the tax
payer is a woman is an insult to your
mother, your sister and the common
sense of your country. 1t is worse, for
it is remnant OF slavery. 1t declares
that women may work and pay, but
shall not exercise the natural rights
which belong to work and pay. &.
Don't talk either about giving them the
ballot as though it were your right or
mine to give or withhold. If it is theirs
by right, it is theirs By right. That is

Benefits of Suffrage.

The experience of the past twenty-five
years under the agitation of suffrage
for women, and the exposure Of defects
in law by women, has wrought many
beneficial changes in law in her interest.
Men could do no less under the pres
sure, but, had woman slumbered all this
time, where would have been the stim-
ulus to change? 1t was no more than a
sop to "Cerberus." Men are obliging
SO far, but no farther, as we learn when
we ask for a voice in National and
State affairs. And If they would be
consistent, and leave US untaxed when
they deny us representation, there
would be less to complain Of, certainly.
Women now own good share of tax
able property. Do you think we could
coax or drive them into remitting our
taxes? There is no roundabout way in
their methods, and if ''the wisdom in
legislative halls is truly that which has
been inculcated by mothers in quiet and
obscure homes it does not appear that
we, az mothers, have so very much to
boast of. A getting out of obscurity
and booming part of the world Of
progress, would lead women into
broader paths, and insure more thought
full training of the generations to come.

many men as women are convicts; more

SUFFRAGE SELECTIONS.

OVER one hundred women appeared
in court in Bellefonte, Pa, recently, to
contest granting Of license.
DIR. MARY A. MCCAY polled ninety
two votes for school directorin Northum-
berland, Pa, the first time vote was
cast for woman candidate in that bor-
ough.
WOMEN need the ballot to protect
themselves in many ways, to protect
their children by at least providing
adequate punishment for those who
commit crimes against them, and to
place barriers between their children
and the evil influences which meet them
at the most susceptible perio1 of their
lives. Airs. c. 4. DHpham.
WOMEN as a class recognize that they
have distinct class interest in temper
ance reform. The fact that they have
this distinct interest is the strongest
possible argument for granting them
the ballot. The principle of universal
suffrage is that every interest must
be represented in order that the COM
mon interests may be found. - Christian
Union.

THoUGH American women may not

mate their strength. The result Of

much on the influence of women.
Whether women ought TO vote or not

THE SCARECROW.

Within the open field he stands,
On Natures rustling lap;
The cold air chills his wooden hands
And makes his ulster flap.
His body is broomstick old
That sways in every gale;
His helmet makes him fierce and bold
1t is milking-pail.
he wears pair of ancient "specs,"
Painted across his face;
He looks wreck of human wrecks
Running his downward race.
The shrewd old crow ne'er ventures near
At twilight or at morn;
He knows the scarecrow guards each ear
OF red and yellow corn.
The farmer sits him by the stove,
Talking about the crops;
When In the cornfield from the grove
tramp serenely hops.
He dons the scarecrow's turquoise coat,
The pail puts on his head,
And DER the farm is soon afloat
On light and airy tread.
"Hast any work for me, sir, pray?"-
The farmer and his wife
The scarecrow see, and run away
Thinking it's come to life.
The tramp regales his inner man
Upon the farmers pies;
Secures q chicken from the pan,
And down the turnpike flies.
The tramp for cover swiftly goes
The farmer turks about
A mile from home, whereat the crows
Just clean his corn-feld out.
