:: Editor Woman s Column, Morning Call.
Allow me through the medium of the
Woman's Column to address the women of
California. In the first place will ask:
Why should We wish to vote? Would our
country, our friends, ourselves, be any the
better for it should We be granted the priyi=
lege? Do any of you Il appeal 10 :he
healthy minded believe the rolls would be
purified" by the presence of women and
"woman's influence? tell you "woman's
sphere" lies not in the turmoil and sQuab-
BILE of the political arena; nor among the
fighting crew on the lawyers stand; nor in
any of those occupations and conditions in
life that call for men.
Our influence should be there? Granted:
but not our presence. Let the men OF your

to resist the many evils arising about them :;
let them 90 forth with the influence of 'lhe

the best sister about them, and it is all you
need do. Home is our sphere, and we must
not leave it if we would retain our influence
over the men OF our world.
Z his is not meant for the large class of
their daily bread. Labor is honorable, and
blest is the woman who has the courage to
put her shoulder TO the wheel and fight the
battle alone. 1t is not for these toiling

THE TWELVE REASONS.


Thoughts Suggested by the Ideas of Alice
stone Blackwell.
Editor lFOmdH'S Column, Morning Call:
| have pOndered with absorbed attention on
the twelve reasons of Alice Stone Black
well of why women want TO vote. Perhaps
she IS superstitious as to unlucky numbers
or else she would surely have added one
more TO her twelve reasons, and that is that
men themselves begin to lose faith in this
sovereign prer0gative as power for right
ing wrong or accomplishing national re-
forms. Conservative and tinorouS people
may not acknowledge it openly, but they
believe it deep down in their heart never
theleSS, that every mans vote, whether he
wants 1t or not, is influenced by possible
reasons that have immediate bearing on
their present wants, needs, conditions or
ambitions. 10 a great many men good
Job IS OF more immediate concern than his
vote; to many others the friendship Of a
neiRhbOr is of more interest than the
love of political party, and to great
many others a small affair Of from 81 to
Sl,OC000O Will APP ear more tangible
for the pursuit of happiness than
some predetermined reforms for the good of
the race that might happen hundred years
or SO hence Would Women's vote steer
clear OF like temptations and motives? The
burden OF all the complaints of women
seems to be based on the tyranny of the
man; they do not seem to comprehend that
the men themselves are in the strait
jacket of social and industrial slavery, and
that the women will gain their freedom and
just rights just so fast as men will win
theirs and not before, for it is claimed that
women. AS class, are naturally aristocTatic,
incorporating and not gifted with the
power OF reasoning intelligently; that
they are prompted by the emotions of the
heart and not by the reflective powers of
judgment; that they never Will make good
judges, bosses or OyerSeers, because they
are as likely to bestOw their sympathy on
unworthy subjects as on worthy ones, and
pity suffering, no matter where found, with
out reasoning the merits of the case. That
is what makes them the better half, that
IS hat makes them the angels that they
are but that is what also what will prevent
them from becoming refOrmers. If wome
ever become free and independent, as l
earnestly hope and believe they will, it will
be when their chains are severed by their
male companions, but that will not be un-
Ill they themselves lave cast off the pOliti-
cal irons which hold them down and are
