The Durham daily globe. (Durham, N.C.) 1889-1894, 1891-08-08
Scene from W6odaII's Museum.

1899? Elizabeth Cady Stanton, one of
the leaders Of the woman suffrage move,
says We are. She says if wOmen's rights
are not given to them soon, women will
not wait much longer, but will join hands
with anarchists, nihilists, etc, and we
shall have, she says, "the scenes Of the
French revolution over again in this
country" She says, further, that "wo-
man will never have her rights and be
free until she throws off the Bible and
christianity as fraud" The W. c. T.
L. at the North has championed the cause
of woman suffrage, and one Of the female
speakers from that section said recently
in a speech in this city, in substance, "lf
you men cannot do any better with the
ballot than you have been doing, turn it
over to US women. and let us try" That
is, you men have failed up to this time in
making this world a perfect paradise by
voting and legislating; now turn the
business over to the women The "mlls
of the gods grind too slowly for these
people. They must upset Gods arrange
ment and make one Of their own. And
a few men (O having 'axes to grind"
longing for office, and seeing no chance
of getting it by orderly methods, try to
curry favor with these women, so that
when the floods come they may be hoated
into place. Some Of them have already
tried this float, but it did not FLOAT
worth a cent.
Well, "woman suffrage" What will
be it's effects? Women will either vote
exactly as do their husbands, fathers and
brothers, or they WILL NOT. If THEY DO,
the result is only an enlarged vote, and
nothing DIFFERENT from what it would
have been only by the male vote. But if
if they do not so vote, but vote opposite
to husbands and brothers, then the HOME
turned into place Of political strife,
and this is one road to hell! Young men
will more than ever cease to seek mar
riage, and brOthels, free love and kindred
evils will set in like flood.
But another evil lies in the statement
of pleasant truth. 1t is this: The great
majority of southern women would not
votc-lOn't want to yote-Oppose the
whole thing, and this is true at the North,
also, as | have recently learned, to my
great 10y, from northern lady But all
The riff raft, negro women, etc, WOULD
VOTE, and this is another road to hell
P,,t | clio of hn at
tuIn moment to a more pleasant sub
ject.
Why not form WoMAN's RESCUE
UNION, and try by gospel methods to
SAVE THE EAR-KEErER and DRUNKARD?
He can never be saved by fighting him.
| And you yourselves, when you get the
law, and he is brought up before the
Judge to be punished, will give place to
| heart relenting, and ask the Judge to let
him off lightly. And so the judge sneers,
and says, Zone set come and ask for the
offender to be punished, and another set
intercede for his release; bah.
A "Womans Rescue Union" might
save young women who have fallen. Oh,
heavens! what a crying sin that women
should neglect and kick down to hell one
of their own sex who has fallen, instead
Of trying to save her! But some short
sighted woman will reply, That is what
we want the ballot for, to right all these
wrongs.' Yes, but in trying to RIGHT
HER WRONGS she uses the very means to
WRONG HER RIGHTS. She yainly sup
poses that THE BALLOT is the divine
alchemy that turns everything to gold.
The ballot. Is the ballot the "Open ses
same" to all good Is it written in his
tory or anywhere else that the BALLOT is
the power Of God unto salvation? If
men have failed to bring in the millen-
MUM by ballots, is it probable that wo-
men will do much better, and especially
when, to run this Duzz saw in morals,
she must leave largely to wreck the
sacred editice of HOME.
God bless and save the women from
politics, from standing in pulpits and
preaching, and from speaking on public
platforms. Christ ChOs tN elye apostles
and not one of them woman. But |
am free Ito say that if he had chosen
twelve women, not one Of them would
have betrayed him. But he did not sub
vert his own order by choosing women,
so he sent out the seventy" but not one
Of them woman. The blessed good
women ministered TO the cause in their
own sphere And this is the road to all
heavens. l.. n. ATEs.
