A PHASE OF WOMAN SUFFRAGE
As Looksd at from a South Carolina
woman's Point Of View.
CBy virginia D. Young)

Inasmuch as every woman, as well
as every man, has a spark Of the Cod
breath we call Soul. whose growth de-
pends on expression by recognition,
there seems TO me a very cogent rea-
son why she should be endowed with
the ballot as a means to this spiritual
expansion.
Woman, with her present limitations
in South Carolina, reminds me Of bit
Of sweet majorem. the seed Of which
has become embedded under the brick
with which we border our garden beds.
The seed has come up under these adj
verse conditions. and in its effort tow
ard the light twisted itself partly from
under the brick; but the twist between
the root and the body OF the plant in
terferes nightly with the perfect de-
velopment OF its life.
SO under the brick Of conservative
prejudice. the powers Of our women.
though fostered by the new Opportuni-
ties Of open colleges and universities.
suffer from a mental twist that pre-
vents perfect growth.
Since the very foundation Of freedom
is the power TO stand alone. we have
TO contend with the inculcation OF the
opposite idea into the feminine mind
from infancy described by the words
dependent and clinging." 1t seems
queer that we do not take in the anal
ogies by which nature writes her OBJ
,ect-lessons. In the green world of the
forest we see that the tree which leans
is the tree that is weak. and which
never attains the height and power OF
its neighbo-, erect and solitary; while
all clinging things blight and dwarf
the objects about which they twine.
Surely II we congratulate our girls
Of today on their upright. strong fig
ures, we may also glory in their power
to stand alone.
Emerson's "Mush Of Concession" de
scribes the attitude OF the disfranchis-
ed woman. who has all the rights she
wants." and is not ashamed Of her in
difference TO the want Of all rights
suffered by her sisters Of a common hui
manity. A natural offshoot Of the cling
ing woman is the echo tribe Of women.
There is nothing that more quickly
pals upon the mind and dazes the
brain than to have ones words taken
up and repeated in accents feebler and
more monotonous by people who are
too lazy and negative to think for
themselves.
And what chance is there for the bat
tledore and shuttlecock Of conservatism
when one party is the mere echo Of
the other?
The brave heart of the true woman
that holds fast to its convictions and
declares them, despite ridicule and op-
position. in the face of the sun. by
that very act reaches a vantage ground
Of larger soul development.
