When q man sticks to Populist
principles, and refuses to go over to
the machine that has called him and
family negroes, the machine papers
say he is 3 tool of Butler, and all
such bosh Such stuff is easier for
these fellows than to discuss Demo-
cratic pledges made in the last cam
paign, or answer Populist argument
now.

The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1900-06-07
In Louisiana

The Simmons machine papers and
politicians continue to insist that the
amendment if adopted will operate
only against the negroes of the illit-
crate class, and that no one else will
be disfranchised; and that so soon as
the amendment becomes effective an
era of good feeling and decent politics
will be inaugurated..
We can Judge of the effect of the
amendment here by noting its opera
tion in Louisiana where one from
which ours is copied is effective. Let
us glance at some statistics. In 1890
there were males Of voting age in that
State
Whites 13O,74s
Colored 1885
Total a5o,5es
At the recent election held in that
State there were cast total of ~ $50
1t is estimated that at least $4,000 o1
these were negroes. If this be true
then there were but SO, ,45O white mer
voted in that election. From the vo
ting whites Of 1890, 130,74S, deduc1
those who voted the other day, and
there are 7O,29s white voters not &C
counted for who were of voting age il
1890. To this immense number ad,
the increase in the last ten years, an,
the total looms up to between $1,000
and 10O, 900 white men who did no
vote under the amendment.
These are the facts. 1t remains fo
Simmons, Craig and the amendmen
newspapers to explain them.-Ashe

Had you noticed that the Demo-
cratic papers and speakers have had
the word sent down the line, not to
recognize the Populists AS party 2
Ii is done TO help prize Mr.. Simmons
out of the hole in which Chairman
Butler put him, by that challenge for
n Joint canvass. The only thIng Mr..
Summons could say was, "we don'f
recognize you as party" And they
dome want to give Mr.. Simmons the
lie by talking and writing, "People s
Party" But we want TO say to Pop
ulists in the country, you individu
ally, will be abused and ridieuled rs
PGpulists. But when the lick spit
ties come around, remind them that
the machine has decreed that it il
best not TO recognize Populsts; thai
Populists are dead, why mess with
dead earcasses; nothing but buzzsrds
living, depends upon dead carcasses
It's not tho negro the Democratic
leaders are afraid of, for they car
with liquor, money, redshirts anC
guns vote them. ANY way, the lar
ger the negro msj1rities in the Ess
the larger the Democratic majority
at the polls. But it's the white men
especially In the West that they ar,
afraid Of, for they know they cam
intimidate and count them out anC
hold tko'r Job. Hence. Aycock want
TO ''rule by law" viz: By disfran
chising them. If you don't believ
! 1t, just vote for the amendment an,
you will see.

| have no words TO express, and |
don't think the languages of the
world could furnish words TO express,
the glaringness of this absuridity, as
it appears to me, of our so-called en-
y heightened civilization-that women
are denied the ballot in these United
States. with one or two exceptions.
because they are women-because
they are mothers, sisters, daughters,
wives. Surely we should be put TO it
to explain away this absurdity to
stranger from a truly enlightened
planet, after he had read our Consti-
tuition, beginning, I'VE, the people"
and had read that sentence in the De-
claration of independence which pro-
claims that governments derive their
just powers from the consent of the
governed; and after he had learned
that, a generation ago, the franchise
was given to several hundred thou
sand former male slaves-most of
them without the ability to read and
write, and all belonging to an allen
race Might not our imaginary WISH
tor be supposed TO ask whether or not
the women of this land were regarded
as people; whether or not they
were classed among the governed"
and whether or not it had been de-
monstrated in any way, that women,
no matter how intelligent are, not
qualified to exercise a right possessed
and exercised by the man with the
hoe, the man with the pillow, the man
with the backing brush, the man who
mixes drinks and the man who shut
Aes cards.
OF course nothing Of the sort has
been demonstrated-w demonstra-
ton we have being to the contrary
And, so, some of US would have to
parry our visitors question, and pro-
coed to present to him a number of
abstract objections to women's politi-
cal emancipation; objections that,
when boiled down and analysed,
would have as visible residum simply
the quite indisputable fact, that wo-
man is Womani | make bold to say
that if there are as many as ten thou
Sduu ODlcCliOllS 10 WODldH 5uuIdbe
that could be urged by the opponents
of it, they might all be included
within the span of this single brief
sentence: Women are not men.
And this sentence, deeply pondered
suggests reasons for, rather than
against, woman's emancipation. Let
me but add that because women are
not men, women may be possessed of
needs, desires, ideals, that merely
man-made laws are not adequate to
satisfy; that because women are not
men, the social fibre fashioned into
shape by merely masculine fingers,
may be, somehow, too coarse, and
heavy, and clumsy, to wrap graceful
ly and fittingly about the woman soul.
Because women are not men, they
may find it impossible to breathe
freely as free personalities, TO live. to
act, toward the full Divine destiny of
their womanhood, in a world merely
man-ordered and man-ruled.
