The fundamental principles Of
system of Government like that o
New Zealand are that
Every one who has to obey the law
shall have voice in making it, ant
that
Every one who has to lay taxes shal
have u voice in saying how those take:
shall be spent.
10 carry out these principles, our
own country has given vote to every
one over twenty one years OF age
excepting criminals, lunatirs, idiots
aliens, and women.
Is TT RIGHT that your mother, YOU
sister, your wife, or your daughte
should be classed with criminals ant
lunatics, or treated as aliens from
foreign country?
Many women have TO pay taxes Oh
real or personal property. .,
Is 1T RIGHT that their money should
be taken, and no representation given
them:
Is 1T RIGHT that while the loafer
the gambler, the drunkard, and even
the wife-beater has q vote, earnest.
educated, and refind women are denied
it?
Is1T RIGHT that the aloon.keeper,
whose hope of gain lies in tempting
your brother or sou to indulge in hab.
its that may p:ove his ruin, should
have a vo,e, while your mother, sister
or wife, whose life is thereby made
miserable, should be helpless In alter.
ing the law ?
IS IT RIGHT that the "dude," the
"masher," whose chief occupation
in life seems To be to act az tailOr's
block, smoke cigaretts, and suck the
end of o cane, should have vote,
while woman who earns her own
living aud, it may he tolls hard TO
MAINTAIN her family, is denied it?
Is RIGHT that a capable woman who
farms her own land, should be thought
unfit to use a vote that is given to the
most ignorant of her hired mep2
Is IT RIGHT that an educated woman
who can lie trusted to teach q school,
cannot be trusted with a vote that is
given to the boys she has edurated
Lefore they have her years Of knowl-
ege?
Is IT RIGHT that a naturalized China
man and every other foreigner should
have u vote, while women born in this
country, educated in its schools, and
with q sincere love for their native
land, are without voice in the laws
under which they live?
Is IT RIGHT that mother who has
trained her family in fear of God, and
who prays daily that they may be
delivered from evil, should be thought
unworthy of a vote that is frely given to
the blasphemer, the liar, the seducer,
and profagate?
If you do not think it right that
these things should he, will you help
us?
There are many ways in which y"u
can help. Among others, you can try
to educate your friends in this matter,
and especially you can ask your repre-
in the Legislature and in
Congress whether they will support
woman sufferage, irrespe ctive of party
politics
Remember 1t Is no new thing. 1t has
been before the country for forty years.
Many thousands of women have petit
toned for it. -.
IsIT RIGHT that Legislatures should
set questions of party above questions
Of justice?

Don't Despise Trihes.

That Boy.

That boy who was in your class
whatever became of him? Did you
ever Inquire after him. or visit his
home, or hunt him up? If he is lost
will not God hold you responsible
"Oh, I have no time to hunt up alb
sentees!" Then resign for that is one
of the most important of your duties
But you have time. You waste more
time in many places and in many ways
than would suffice to look after tha
boy. Better 60 as soon as possible. ---

Regularity of habits is not only one
of the prime conditions of success in
secular life, but is also one of the great
safeguards of character. The man who
keeps in the beaten way cannot go far
wrong. Fixed hours for work, for eat
ing and sleeping, for reading and
writing, and for praying, should be
cultivated as far as possible. A good
habit is one of the best friends that
any man eyer had; and bad one is
one of the worst.
