mocks It's 7Otarles still. AS long
as there is q desire or thirst in a
person for strong drink, there will

sire; as long as men crave whiskey
they are going to have it. The on
ly way to stop the evil of drunken
ness is to cxtinguish this desire by
'moral suasion." Once the cray

fore that l was trying to comfort
anybody. On the contrary, my
exposing Dido's sophisms and
would he arguments, I imagine was
not very comforting to that worthy
especially. What is more absurd
than woman's burying her nails
in mans neck and then expect
him to turn round and comfort
her? My assertion about the wo-
mans suffrage agitators neglect
ing their own homes is borne out
by common senst; for it is impos-
sible for housewives affairs to be
going on smoothly while she is off
making speeches and travelling
about over the land. Maybe charm
ing Dido is one of these high fliers,
zone cannot always sometimes
tell" Dido comes again with her
statement that. woman has an i'll
born right to vote. She qualities
it somewhat from her original dog
matte certainty. Her position is
about this: Woman has this in
born right but it doesn't !. ature
until she is lwenty-one. Who ever
heard of aright maturing? If a
right is Unborn, it should be eNer-
.sed from The hour of birth; else
the person is defrauded OF his
rights until he gets them. \ State
would be committing criminal
action in withholding da MdoJ"
right TO vole from any one at any
time. Tillman says. Voting is
no natural right" 1t is a gift of
the State. Nobody has ever been
silly enough to doubt this maxim
before. II voting Is IL h"'ufal, III.

Tf noIitics are foo rotten for Dj-

boys. She doesn't mean all she
says I'm sure. She would be will
ing for her boys to hoe cotton all
day with a crowd Of negro fellows;
would she allow her girls to do the
same? Her boys can 60 where they
please around in her vlclnage and
her mind is easy; is 1t not neces-
sary for girl to have a body g"or@
when she goes about? She will say:
"Oh this is the result of a differ
ent nature in boys and girls" EN-
actly; and this different nature
which carries with it certain priv
ileges and disabilities, ought to
keep women out of political squab-
bles. Dido says that | put a wrong
construction on her language
touching her statement about zig
norance" being one reason for en-
franchisement. She used the Ian

what it said.
