with the voter. AT the ballot-box the

OF the hour may be viewed, there are
only two positions for the voter to choose

arguments, hand IL to his friends, and
talk about 10 to other voters. This is Q
country In which majorities rule. True;
but not the whole truth-minorities help
to rule. By means Of cogs one wheel
turns many wheels. Let the wife educate
herself on the question Of the hour; and
though she will not vote she can make
votes. The mother can do the same.
