WHY NOT2

The editor has kindly invited con
tributions on the subject of Women's
rights as commonly called.
why should not women have equal
rights with men? They are governed
by the same laws. Iftbey transgress
those laws they have to suffer the
same penalties. If they own property
they have the same amount of taxes
to pay. Since the creation of the
world woman has stood side by side
with man. and proved his equal in
everything except physical strength.
For long time women were held
back from church work. After they
were permitted to come forward and
Join with man in the great work,
what a power for good they have
proven to be. Where women have
prepared themselves tor professions,
heretofore practiced by men, and gone
out to their work, have they not
been as successful as men? AS coun-
Gil on difficult questions is she not a
success?
1t is said tho polls are not fit
place for women to go. Why not? 1t
is our neighbor husbands, fathers and
brothers who compose the company
which we expect to see there. We go
with them to church, socials, litera-
ries, school elections and any where
else we please.
Then it is said equal suffrage would
make no difference in the result after
all. Every woman would vote as her
husband did. Yes, if she was sure
her husband voted the right ticket,
she surely would. But there are
some women who have no husbands.
That would make some difference.
Then it is said again women would
not vote if they had the right. Per-
haps all would not the first year or
two, for women are very conscientious
and a fear that it might not be the
proper thing for them to do might
hold few of them back a little while.
We do not expect equal suffrage to
work miracles, but we do believe it
would be a help. A WOMAN.
