out from Plymouth, England, Septem-

touched at Cape Cod, Mass. Even then
it could not be landed, but was tossed
about for a month more until the poor
little boat found the mainland and nam

On its second voyage the log of the

more than five days.

WHY DO WOMEN WANT THE BAL
LOT?

1. Because they are American citizens.
and the [. 5. Constitution says: The
citizens right to vote shall not be denied
or abridged on account Of race, color or
previous condition of servitude.'
> Because they are taxpayers, and It
IS a principle of our government that tax
alton and representation are inseparable.
8. Because every citizen should have a
voice in the selection of those who make
the laws which he or she must obey.
4. Because every citizen in free repub-
lie is entitled to individual representation,
and no person having but one vote can
represent himself and another person,
even with the latter's consent.
.. Because vote means power, and
women need this power to protect the in
terasts Of themselves, their homes, their
children and society.
g. Because politics, which means the
government. needs the combined influences
of men and women. Without the ballot,
womau's influence is indirect, negative and
irresponsible. Votes talk. votes count,
votes compel respect, votes accomplish.
These are six out of sixty reasons why
women want tn eballot.

NEWCASTLE, Ind, April lI.-Miss Emma Ray
of Cass county, Mich, has been commissioned
by the Bachelor Girls Association of that State
to organize branches throughout Indiana.
The Bachelor Girls Association was organ

little hamlet OF several hundred souls. and its
outlined objects are 10 III it's members for higher
positions in life than TO be wives, driven by mar.
riago into drudgcry.
Tho society was organized in September. 1896.
and each member is pledged by sOlemn oath To
remain single until she is 20 years old, when she
may receive matrimonial propositions from
woll-educated young men of irrGprOachablo
character. Letters CommendatOry of the society
were received in such numbers that action look
ing toward n national organization was deter.
mirod upon.
The managers of matrimonial bureaus In large
Giles throughout the United States have he
come soligitous regarding the society and its
threatened phenomenal growth, and letters have
been received from them hcwailing, what the
promoters OF matrimony call the "alarinipg in
crease of spinster men," To these cOmmunica-
tions tho society Is obdurate, and the efforts to
promote woman's welfare by tho unique methods
proposed, incligibility to marry before 20 and
the education OF the sex TO u higher plane, will
