WOMEN ARE NOT ALL ALIKE.
Neither Are the Men--Very Evenly Divided

None

Va
they desire to better their conditions by the force
of using the little white ballot, there is scarcely
anything more derogatory to their interests than
the articles that have been ''going the rounds
lately, in regard to Manhattan and Oskaloosa,
Kansas towns, being wholly governed by women,
and written of in a certain spirit Of braggadocla
and cynicism.
It seems to me, in reading of these men and
women, if the reports true, that, as the story
goes, "Women holding all the offices, from the
Mayor to the City Janitorshp, and the men stand
ing around looking meek and detected" has very
bad outlook for both the male and female portions
of humanity.
Decidedly for one do not like it.
l do not see anything equal in that, if it is
equal rights we women are seeking
We take wrong standpoint when we compel
men to give up to us, by taking the spirit out of
them.
What looks worse than to see something called
man, standing around the street listless aimless,
degraded do-nothings?
No man, in the tluest sense of the word would
do it, and would make tremendous ''kick'' were
he compelled to-.
There are just as many good men in this world
as there are good women, and vice versa. 1t is
very evenly divided thing.
Men can perform some duties better than women,
and women can perform some duties better than
men,
A true woman has no desire to rise superior to
man, but to be equal with him. Her rights are
equally the same. For the same and as good work
Dhv 'houlu receive the same pay, and her right to
the ballot is the same. But she will never get it
by sneers, innuendoes, or compulsion only as in
these instances, in very rare cases.
Whenever l think of these things l always re-
member that am my fathers daughter the wife
OF my husband, the mother of my sons, not one
OF whom but thinks l. a woman his equal in every
way.
Men as rule-real, honest, genuine men-ad-
mlre bralny women; women who are able to COM
pete with them, and gentleman, chivarous and
kind, will always yield the palm to woman, not
deprecatngly, in the spirit of defeat, with a
slouchy, hang-dog manner, butiuprightly honest,
as God made him, retaining every atom Of his
manhood
10 call names, and belittle, is not to help the
cause. The greatest charm a woman may possess
sgracousness
DO not supplicate, beg or plead, nor demand
nor assume, nor be aggressive simply be gracious
snow your aptitude and ability, prove that you
know how, by being able to govern yourself, and
then you may govern Others
Not all men are fitted nor suitable, neither are
they able to hold the positions of trust that they
Go, and this has much to do in making knowing
women feel that they are not fairly treated.
Habit and custom are to blame in certain de-
gree Tor the present state of affairs where women
are concerned, and certainly in the past fifty years
women have gradually gained strong foothold,
ana just so gradually will the time come, when
greater results will be achieved, if not trodden into
eartn by the spirit manifested in these recent
articles.
oowlng never conquered man, and what wom-
an WIN any nobility of SOUL desires one Of those
tmngs called "hen-pecked" husband? Bon
comrade, that is what it should be. nv friends.
