THIS HEAD ARE FURNlSED
BY, AND PUBLISHED AT
THE REQUEST OF,
sTHE ELY SUI
FRAGE LEAGUE"

Women of ordinary intelligence are
staggered by the bold and blatant
manner in which it is so commonly
asserted that politics are too corrupt
for women, and that the cesspool of
the ballot must be avoided by the
gsntler sex, who cannot afford to be
come besmirched. Such assertions
are made on the presumption that man
is snpsrfine article. and like solid
silverware, it matters not how black
ened and corroded he may become, a
little brushing up and he is as
beautiful and as brigt as ever, but we
poor women are supposed to typify the
cheapest kind of i.ritain ware, the
slightest blemish and we are undone
forever; the pagic touch of Aladdin can
never restore our pristine lustre.
If women must necessarily become
polluted by entering the political are
ma, why Is she not contaminated by
intimate association with those who
have occasioned this moral leprosyl
And yet amid this noble army of men
who SO heroically guard the honor of
American womanhood by shielding
them from the dangers of the ballot,
We hear no mention Of one of them
c, ndeming himself to csllibacy or
stunning matrimony for the lofty
principle that his socie would de-
grade and debase the feminine gender.
Oh, no. the weak st woman on earth
is supposed to be invulnerable to a
1856 days contract with the originator
or corruption, but would oe bes,nirch-
ed in ten minutes hy approaching
ballot box once year.
Amid our daily routine of work we
are ofte obliged to pause, while we
muse and cogitate the question, why
politics should be Synonymous with all
that is unholy and unpriucipled. Why
should the great science of government
that should exist only for the welfare
of the people contain only fraud and
dishonesty Politics should be one of
the noblsst, one of the loftiest callings
in which ali individual can engage.
If it has become metamorphosed into
a sink of iniquity Gas men declare it
has) women feel very grateful that
onus does not rest upon them.
Even into the most stolid feminine
brain soaks the sober fact that politics
can contain no inherent depravity, and
that men alone are answerable for the
flood of corruption that mandates our
country. 1t is generally conceded that
women represent the purer moral ele-
ment of society. DIR. Haupt says that
"the proportion that men bear to wo-
men criminals is ninety-nine to one.
And it cannot be said that women are
saved from crime by exemption from
affairs of government. Politics can
not be accused of the spread of con-
tagion of vice, for in certain European
where certain classes of men
are politically disabled, statistics reveal
no diminutisn in their percentage of
crime. The writer does not argue
hat men are destitute Of great and
noble principles. but desires to show
that in the management of home,
women soften the rougher nature of
man and smooth the jagged edges of
life; SO in the government of the
ooutry, she whom God made
helpmeet for man is necessity to pre- /
serve the balance of good government.
