Treat your wives and daughters as

but don't forget that they are women.
Don t give them edged tools to play
with. They may not cut themselves
with the ballot, but they will cut the
ground from beneath your business. "

Banner of December 80, 1896, published
in Pittsburg, Pa, and is given as the
words of an officer of the Liquor
