In Reply to Mr.. Gallagher

In an article in the Times some days
since Mr.. l.. H. G. Gallagher asks if it
ever occurred to Miss Anna Shaw that, if
the chances were given women to go
mems offices and out of the nursery and
Kitchen altogether, the day of social
ideals would really be over?"
Now, cannot answer for Miss Shaw,
but 1t does not seem likely that it ever did
occur to her. or any woman, that she
must go to the polls with the "rabble'
when she votes any more than when she
goes to the mountains, o1"the beach, or
any other place where people congre-
gate. When women vote they will go to
the voting places just as they go to other
places. in company with their usual
associates; Miss Shaw with hers, the
Smiths and Browns with theirs.
Nor is it likely that it has occurred to
MISS Shaw that women ever would
get out of the kitchen and nursery al
together. 1t seems possible, judging
from present indications, that men may
in time monopolize the kitchen; but
catch men doing service in the nursery
II you can. 1t is not natural for men
to do that Love of the young is i'm
planted in woman's nature. not by finite
man, but by the wise Creator, and will
not be obliterated by human legislation.
The woman who does not neglect her
home duties for the allurements of So
ciety will not neglect them for the duties
of citizenship.
Again we are told that "if women are
admitted to all the fields of labor and
politics that are occupied by men, and to
forever abandon the duties of home,
not long time will ensue bafore they
will have to take their places among
men, as men take their places among
each other"
Yes, that is one of the advantages we
hoped would result from women stand
ing on equal terms with men politically.
Men, when earning a living. compete
with each other on equal terms, being
paid for theiD work according to their
ability; but women take their places
with men not on equal terms. but with
less remuneration because they are wo-
men and not voters. Women should
have equal rights and chances with men
in the business world, as we'll as in
the political. The latter will greatly aid
in securing the former. Very soon after

of the South were not questioned
whether they would be free or not; the

mans rib) is denied her freeborn right
and privileges! She and her property
are governed by laws in the making
of which she has no voice-the under
lying principle of our beloved constitu-
tion in outrageously violated, mo tax
alton without representation"
Amenable to law, women should have
a voice in framing the code under which
they live; the ballot means so much of
power and influence as to cause shame
full disparity in wages of equal work by
men and women.
We want the ballot because we respect
ourselves and want the world to respect
us. We want the ballot for every reason
that can be assigned for giving it to
men.

Wyoming law was enacted requiring
employers to pay them the same wages
as men, for the same services; and
severe penalty was imposed for it's vio-
lation; and, when women be-
came voters, they took their
place among men as men take
their place among each other" that
is, with equal chances. If, however,
'vc aen are 'ldn,i.G to al. Ire fields
of labor and politics that are occupied
by men," how will there be men in those
situations for women to take their
places amongst?" The men, we must
suppose, in this very improbable case,
would be in the kitchen and nursery.
The sexes will simply have exchanged
places. Would that be according to ma
ture's plan, think you?
Then we are threatened with the loss
Of the delicate respect paid for women
as women; the readiness to grant them
privileges on the score of seX," we are
told that this will cease to exist and
utiitarian conditions will prevail over
sentimental ones"
Women certainly are not insensible to
manifestations of respect on the part of
good men; but privileges that depend
on their remaining political nonenti-
ties are not worth having. 'Privi-
leges on the score of SEX are not what
self-respecting women desire. They
want recognition as equals on the score
of humanity. To lose the respect of men
would, indeed, be a great loss, but priv
ileges do not put the mother in the gov
ernment, no bread and butter in the
mouths of their children.
If women are compelled to choose be-
tween privileges" and rights, sensible
women will choose the latter. Sentiment
ia all right in tis place, but a demand
for recognition of rights should be met
by the decision of reason and justice
IT is neither consistent nor reasonable
for men of the United States to meet our
arguments for political recognition
basing them, as we do, on constitutional
law of mans own establishment-by
argument of sentiment and expedien-
cy Would Mr.. Gallagher abandon the
doctrine that governments derive their
just power from the consent of the gov
erned," rather than allow voice in it?
If it is sentiment" that keeps women
politically with the idiot and the felon,
the sooner "utilitarian conditions pre-
vail the better.
But the gentleman is surely mistaken
when he thinks the courtesies between
women and men are the result of iegis-
lation. or in any way the result of poll
tics. They are the promptings of nature.
And have not doubt that Mr.. Gala

Purely a Matter of Justice

I will inquire of the ashes of legisla-
tors what causes have erected and over
thrown empires? What are the prin-
ciples Of national prosperity and mis-
fortune? What the maxims upon which
the peace of society and the happiness
of man ought to be founded?
l stopped, and, casting down my eyes,
waited the reply of the genius. Peace
and happiness, said he, descend from
him who breaches justice Volney.
Constitutional law is the high-water
mark of mans political rising, and a
ton, is the landmark and finger board
of his Notwithstanding better.
The average man rises no higher than
the spirit of the law of which he is
part. Statutes are the record of his do
ing and undoing, and like water seeking
its own level he never reaches higher
than the high tide of the medium moral
ity of his representative, our lawmakers.
So it has been impossible for him to deal
justly by woman. The age of consent
laws, divorce laws, property ownership
laws, have been with few exceptions
till very recently unfavorable to women
A few weeks ago here in our own city a
widow lost considerable money by trust
ing to the honor and chivalry of her hus-
bands debtors, who said, when finally
appealed to for settlement, "It is an hon
est debt but 1t has been outlawed!" She
appealed to her attorney. "Oh," said he,
'it is too bad; it is gone by default-lim-
itation.' Had she been a part of that
law she would have felt to some extent
responsible for it's abuse Ignorance
has no excuse in law, and in this case
at least, mans knowledge did not save
woman against the penalty of his own
law. Another striking case came up in
our city divorce courts in regard to the
possession of child. Said the Judge:
II know, madam. that man Cher hus-
band) is not fit person to have the
child, but it is the law, the law,

From the Loving Nephew

My Dear Aunt Sally: Where in this
world did you imbibe such strange
ideas as those expressed in your last
letter? You are evidently a hayseed
from way back, and in need of Informal
tion upon many subjects.
Don't you know that this great and
glorious government of ours is founded
upon principles?
What those principles are If you do
not know them, you have only to come
out from your cornfields and clover
patches and attend the great political
mass meetings this fall to learn that to
be protected is the very rock upon which
the nation rests. You will hear all about
protecting the working men and pro-
tecting America for the Americans and
protecting our people from the burden
of foreign pauperism.
That's what you will hear, and none of
that bosh about foreign capital monop-
olizing our land, our Industries and our
opportunities.
What does it matter if our landless
people legally cannot cross another per-
sons land in balloon? Why, Aunt Sally,
don't you know that poor people can't
afford balloons to travel in? And as
for the poor old tramp, no one need
waste pity on him, for was there not
one who wandered over the hills of old
India and had not where to lay His
head" whom the world delights to
honor today? So the tramp may con-
sole himself with the thought that nine
teen centuries hence he may be honored
for having instituted a new order of
things
Don't you see, Aunt Sally, that the
monopolization Of land drives folks into
the cities and gives US a chance to rent
our houses and raise the price of our
city lots?
