the Question

the Question
To the Editor of the STATE JOURNALs
To those who are indifferent, or who
may vote no, for the amendment on the
9TH Of November, I would ask al arrest
of thought.
In all probability you have a deep
seated prejudice against it. You would
have your wives and daughters exempt
from the scramble and vulgarity usually
incident to elections. Bur Tee ME ask yOu
if it j. always in your power to protect
them from the reverses and misfOrtunes
incident to life, they may have to con
tend with all Of these viciasitudes aud
fill the place of both father and mother:
steer the financial craft, as we'll as guard
and keep UP the home interests; these
wives and mothers are then face to face
with questions that they cannot evade,
but 50 far as remedying anything are Ut
terly pOwerless.
1t is such women as these and others
with high sense Of right aud Justice
who are asking YOU to cast your ballot to
put them equally before the law VIII
you do it Cast 10 the winds your fears
about them lowering them selves by de
posting piece Of paper AT the ballot
box. Evil be to the one who evil thinks
lady is treated lady wher-
ever she goes If the atnos sphere
of election precincts is impure
give her a royal support and 10. the
scene changes, and, as at all our public
gatherings, the surroundings VIII take
on better phases without any degrade
tion to her Being one of the many,
many Kansas women who have had alone
to take up the broken threads in the web
Of life. and have felt So keenly tile de
sire Of having my thoughts registered
and put ia force, that I shall ask you in
behalf OF these, and in behalf of all
who feel that they want TO be made
politically superior 10 the idiot and cor
vIct, TO consider well the merits Of our
appeal. and irrespective of party. color,
creed or condition. kindly grant the
prayer Of your anxious petitioners.

not only to get nothing washed, but

a crime for a man 70 use water to

makes me think Of q curious sight i

in his tent door, and with the utmost
gravity brushing himself all over with
