VIII not be Less HomeIike.

When opponents of w oman Suffrage
tell you that when women are enfran-
chised the world will be less homelike,
give them the following argument from
the pen Of that gifted woman, Frances
Willard:
''1f anybody fears that the world
would be less homellke in those DAYS
let him study the history of the Quak-
ers extending now over three hundred
years. There was nothing in the creed
Of the Society of Friends sufficiently
superior to what waS in other creeds
to account for the wonderful influence
they have had in history. Their single
salient and never to- be-forgotten pecul-
iarity, was their treatment OF women
as their equals. Who could wish any
thing nobler, gentler, more home
loving, upright, truthful, moral in
every way than the character of Quaker
women as class. They are types
and forerunnerS of what shall be when
men welcomes woman to his side in
every line of life.''

What we will do With the Ballot

When women have the use of the
ballot they will use it to eliminate one
prominent factor in pOlitics-the
bribe. You may be able to sometimes
influence a woman through her emo.

that is not all ssit'' should be, but she
will err on the side of morality and
you cannot buy her. Men say, '.Oh
well, i'll the large cities they may buy
voters, but no man in the west would
offer money to another man for his vote
and if he did he would be prosecuted.
We know a man in Edwards county
who gave $40 to one of his heelers last
fall with which to purchase three men,
and he got them too. Let us if we
ever vote put beyond the pale of
decency any woman who will sell her
vote. And you men, we ask to have
the courage to do this with your three
for -SlO-men, and the fellow who buys
them

Woman Suffrage for Georgia.

The ladies of Atlanta organized a
Woman Suffrage Association and Mrs.
McLendon, the president, belongs to
one of the most aristOcratic families
III the South. The intend to organize
i'll all the large cities of Georgia. The
ministers Of Atlanta, so the telegraphic
report said, were as unit against the
movement. THIS seems almost increui-
ble, and we do not believe they voice
the feeling of the clergy OH the equal
suffrage question. 1t would certainly
be a poor return to our sex for all we
have done for the church. Ministers.
if they are broadminded, must realize
that women believe they are right i'm
demanding the ballot, aud believe firm
ly that the right of franchise belongs
to them just as much as to men, by
reason of their citizenship; and the
ministry has no right to make itself
the censor OF our opinions and privi-
legeS. If it were not for women and
their work for christianity where would
the church be to-day? We ask of the
celergy What we have given them?
We believe IL good citizen of gov.
ernment to he be one who fulflIs all
duties to that government. Because
our duties and our work are different
from that given to NEIL, they must
not say it is not equally necessary and
does not confer equal rights and privi-
leges upon us. 10 us is given the
work of bearing, guiding and teaching

Must not Forget Home Duties

Because women can vote they must
not forget all the little home duties.
The sweeping and dusting, washing
and ironing, sewing and mending must
be done. Keeping your children clean
and comfortable is as important to
their well-being as trying to eradicate
the rum traffic. The trouble with us
is we have been narrow because we
have been kept down. Now when we
get our political wings lets not soar
above Tommy's sore finger or Mary's
dolls, OF our husbands shirt buttons.
but carry these things up with us into
a broader realm. The omelette Will
be lighter If our minds are attuned TO
something higher than the pan il is
cooked in, and the bread rise higher is
as we knead we thy to imagine we are
punching the evils that threaten the
rising generation. But a better condi-
tiOn of things will do our children no
good if we do not keep our kitchen
sinks clean, for they may die of typhoid
fever. Let us not forget in trying to
surround them with more refining in
huences that our ginger cookies can
refine them by making them happy.
Remember this above all things.

Not an Experiment.

Some men claim that Equal Suf-
frage is an experiment and that they
are afraid of the effect of increasing
the vote with an element of ignorance
and inexperience. To those who take
this view of the question we point to
the fact that it is an experiment. that
has been tried i'll Wyoming for twenty
live years, and that is being tried i'm
New Zealand. Those who use the
sentimental argument that it will do
away with the gallantry, Difference and
chivalry of men toward women are
asked to look at the situation us por-
trayed i'll New Zealand by an Inter-
Ocean correspondent, Mary II. Krout:
1.-The fact that New Zealand has en-
franchiSed her women has been spread
far and wide. Wyoming did the same
twenty-five years ago, but it has been
overlooked 10y those who profess to be
interested III woman suffrage us 4 pOliti-
cal experiment which they really re-
card aS more or less dangerous
Nothing has pleased me so much as the
genuine, unaffected, and undemonsta-
tive fraternal feeling between the men
and women of this wonderful colony.
Where one witnesses the unvarylng and
and profound respect shown women
everywhere, respect us chivalrous
and far more sincere than that which
is SO prominent throughout out South
ern states, it is easy to perceive the
spirit that has made political liberty
universal in New Zealand. There is
no diminution of attention, of helpful
ness and thOughtfulness, and the
cordiallty with which women are COLI
suited and considered might prove AN
example to American men, kind and
liberal as they ordinarily are.
You hear no disparaging or sneer-
ing remark concerning women either
from the press or from men as indiyid-
ua.s. Forbearance is shown their i'll
experience, appreciation for what they
have accomplished in SO short Il time,
and high hope expressed for the future
service that will be expected of them
when they have fully fitted themselves
for their political duties"

The question of Woman Suffrage is
not one of personal wants or party ex-
pediency, but rather one of right, of
justice, of good government. Did the
powers that be ask the negro if he
wanted and would use the franchise
before they give him possession of it?
And must the women now stand up
and be counted to see if there is a bare
majority before they are granted their

Marsh Murdoch in tue Eagle Sunday
seems to attach far more Importance,
than it really possesses, to the fact
the few women, whose names are
we'll known in society" have pro-
tested against becoming voters, and
the women's cooking club refused TO
cOuntena,fce the suffrrge movement
even SO much as to entertain at din
ner Il few lady suffrage visitors to the
city.
1t was not supposed by anybody that
women were all of one mind about this
question. The surprising fact is that
so few are found who oppose the
reimbursement of their sex.
OF course, this reform would be lin-
like all previous steps forward in hui
man progress if it were not opposed,
with more or less zeal show of earn
estness, by Il section of the class for
whose benift and advancement it is
taken.
Students of history will readily re-
call the Americans who protested
against the revolutionary war, and
who said it was all wrong, that the
stamp act was all right and just, and
who stood with their oppressors
throughout the long struggle for
independence and finally went to
Halifax.
~ majority of the English working
men, in the carry part of this century,
protested that they did hot want to
vote, ard when the next English re-
form was made to limit factory labor
to ten hours day, and to forbid young
children from working the mines and
factories, protested against the law,
and many petitions signed by working
men were sent to Parliament against
this noble reform melsuae, and at any
time before Abraham Lincoln signed
the Emancipation PROCLAMATION it
would have been easy to have secured
thousands of protests from the slaves
praying congress not to thrust upon
them the burden of liberty.

SOME back number men advocate
the argument against Woman Suffrage
that if we vote we must fight, and be
subject to enlistment in case of war.
No, we will vote, but we shall not
fight, and men forget that there is one

To us is given the bearing of children
which involves more pain and suffer

bravery as to be a soldier, and has
