Whv They Want the Ballot

Why do women want the ballot? For
the same reason that child is entitled
to it's portion of an inheritance; for the
same reason that a person, woman or
man, owning stock in a corporate body
has a voice in it's management and con-
troll. 1t is their right of possession.
Our last legislature was wise and just
enough to formulate and adopt an
amendment to the state constitution
which will place the women of California
ir full possession of their just inheri
tance of political liberty, if-the voters.
men only. are willing, as we feel sure
their great hearted magnaminity will
prompt them to be, next November.

Why Women Should Vote

Editor Herald: With your permis-
sion 1 will give my reasons for being in
favor of woman's suffrage, and hope
you will find space in your paper for
my sentiments toward suffrage.
First-This government can not afford
to stand divided against ITSELF wom-
ans help is necessary in the state as
well as in many callings, most notably
the church; and its success depends
largely on the women, as they make up
thirds of any denomination today.
Second-Men who are busy and think
mostly on what money they can make
in their business give very little thought
outside of their counting rooms, and
often neglect to think or inform them
selves enough to vote intelligently at
elections.
Third-Everything that concerns the
welfare of the whole people must of ne
cessity apply to woman as well as man;
and very few men think of the interests
of any woman on election day; they vote
to please this or that man in general.
Fourth-Men make the assertion that
it would demoralize woman to cast her
ballot and mix with men. If that is so
it is high time to make some experiment
to see what can be done for the men. in
order to be fit company for respectable
women on election day.
Fifth-Men knowingly, or otherwise.
encourage evil. in that they allow sa-
looms to be shut in such a manner that
no one can tell who Is inside. 1t would
be as easy for a wife to go into a ceme-
terry to dig up her dead husband as it
would be to get at him inside of one of
those we'll protected rum holes in our
cities.
Sixth--There would be more wide
awake watchers in municipal affairs:
not a horse would be allowed to stand
hitched all day long on our principal
streets. A country barn yard is mild
in comparison to the dreadful nuisance
we have to stand walking along our
streets every day in the year.
Seventh-Men are prone to let evils
grow until some dreadful things hap
pen; and then. as it was with our late
war; that could easily have been avoid
ed had men done their duty in time
men and women alike had to suffer the
consequences. The slaves could have
been set free without the fearful sacri-
flee of one million of our best men. who
had to lay down their lives to save this
country. JULIA HASTINGS.

THE SUFFRAGE AMENDMENT

Every unselfsh and every generous
man cheerfully admits that there should
be no diSqualificationS on account of
sex. We feel assured that the time is
not very far off when the laws of justice
in our land will apply to men and women
alike. Each soul has to build a taber-
nacle for itself, and this temple or home
is character. We live in it and in
it we will have to pass into the un-
seen world. 1t is the shrine upon
which this life must be ysmboliZed in
beauty. art, science, faith, work and
knowledge, and formed accord
ing to the vision of life. whether it be
either sex. Then 1t must be free, and
cannot be debased to think, to act, to
exist" Suffrage will be more carefully
understood, as it is freedom of speech.
Then will our great banner of stars and
stripes more proudly wave over this
land of the free and the home of the
brave. AS it now stands, it is not the
home of the free. Where is the careful
and proper concentration of pure
thought on this great question; right?
The negro won his freedom at the point
of the bayonet and loss of our husbands
and sons, but they were not led on in
this factor of suffering and bloodshed in
war to give that race a freedom of in
dolence and ignorance, the rights that
the laws ignore to woman, their mothers
and wives. Strange to say that man
hood for one moment stops to discuss
the right of noble womanhood. With
out her influence and guidance what
would man be? Does he not owe all
he is to the rightful woman who bore
and reared him to a life of usefulness
and beauty? Man would be weak in
deed without the tender love and uplift-
ing influence of woman. This matter is
plain and suggests itself without rein
forcement. Give the good woman the
same rights as good men, and loosen the
environment that has held her down for
the last decades. Life cannot be broad
and grand and pure without it. Mother
is the foundation of all life, swaying in
her one hand the sword of justice, in the
other the scales which indicate the i'm
partiafity with which every cause is
carefully weighed by her.

 LIKE OLD TIME PROSPERITY.

Large Orders Being Received by New Ha-
 ven Clock Company-Orders on Hand at
 This Time Last Fall Aggregated 100000
 Clocks-Recent Order for Thousands
 from Sweden-Factory Started Running
 II 1-2 Hours Daily.
 A report was published in some of the local papers short time ago that the New Haven Clock company had re- ceived from London an order for twelve hundred and fifty clocks, and the same report conveyed the idea that this was an unusually large order for the com pany to receive. As a matter of fact, the said order, instead of being for twelve hundred and fifty clocks, was for several thousand, and it is stated on good authority that the aggregate of orders for clocks and watches re- ceived by the company at one time this last fall amounted to 100000. Other big orders are on file now, having been re- ceived from various sources both in this country and abroad, and the fac tory has started running eleven and half hours a day, six days in the week. The force of men employed numbers btween four and five hundred
 This seems like the old-time pros perity of this company, which for so many years had been one of the larg- est concerns for the manufacture of clocks in this country and one of the largest in the world. This business, like many others, has in measure de- pressed for the last few years, but there is now every indication that all the former prosperity is returning There is great demand for the Fly alarm clock and the little watches made by the company.
 The idea that an order for 1,25O clocks is considered a large one by the com pany seems preposterous, when it is known that 1000 clocks a day is an or dinary days product. '
