Arguments Against Woman Suffrage.
The following is from an address
delivered by Louis F. Post of Chi
cago before the National Suffrage
convention in Minneapolis
II do not feel so competent to
answer the arguments against equal
suffrage as to wonder at them. It
is said that women have not the
time and strength to vote. AS for
strength. l have voted for years
and 1 have not found that it takes
much strength to take up a piece of
paper and give it to a great muscu
lar man, who drops it into the bal
lot box for you. AS for time, the
objectors say you should influence
your husband and sons, but it 10
easier to go to the polls and cast
vote yourself than to get your hus-
bands and sons to go. They say it
will brush the bloom from woman
hood, and then these same objectors
fall to praising Queen Victoria, her
WISE government, her womanliness,
her faithful wifehood and mother
hood If a woman can govern a
nation and still be a good wife and
mother, and best of all keep the
bloom of womahood, why cannot
the average woman cast a vote and
do it2
Suffrage is right and not priv
ilege. That it is a right of every
individual is the only basis for
women demanding it. If it is not a
right but a privilege that may be
granted to men and withhold from
women, be granted to the white
and withheld from the black, be
given to those who have red hair,
kept from those with black hair
if it may be rightfully granted to
the millionaire and kept from the
day laborer, rightfully extended
to those who can read and withheld
from those who cannot, or to those
with a college education and from
those who only have a common
school education, if these are the
only bases on which women claim a
share in the process Of government,
then the fundamental argument for
woman suffrage disappears.

privilege line Of argument, and you
soon come to that fetish of tradi.

DEDICATION SERVICES.
Prominent oisrgymen Present - A
Joyful Occasion.

! Joyful Occasion.
Dedicatory services held in the
Church of the Good Shepherd Wed.
nesday were largely attended.
Right Rev. Cortlandt Whitehead,
bishop of Pittsburg, was present
and preached the sermon. He was
rector here when the church was
organized and services held in the
old court room. The sermon was
reminiscent of the early days of the
church and full of interest. The
music, which was an especial fea-
ture of the occasion, was excellent.
The solo by Miss Tate, singer in
the Brick church, New York, "My
Song Shall Be of Thee, was beau
tifully rendered and in exquisite
taste. The quartet composed of the
Misses Corbett and Patty Biddis
and Messrs. Ed Crissman and Wv
ian Struthers was especially fine.
The visiting clergymen who par
ticipated in the services were Arch
deacon Coke of Scranton. DR.. Rog-
ers of Brooklyn, Rev, Gardiner of
Lancaster, Rev. Rowland A. Saw
yer of Carbondale and Rev. Martin
Stockett of ST Johns church, Ding
mans. The services throughout
were beautiful aud impressive The
several articles dedica ted we're the
baptistry and window, donated by
Dr. II. B. Reed and Mrs. Reed
memorials to Edward j Reed and
Mrs. Pamela Austin Howard,
mother of Mrs. Reed the pulpit,
organ and choir stalls, donations
from the congregation a handsome
brass lectern, a memorial to Lance

ings, cross, aims basins, memorials
to Isaac F. Baker, Ann e. Baker,
Edwin j. and Christopher Baker
altar book rest and candlesticks in
memory of Margaret S. Gedney,
mother of Mrs. ] j. Hart.
The church since the addition of
the two transepts affords much
more room for the growing congre-
CATION and they also add greatly to
its interior beauty. The organ and
choir occupy the one on the right
and the one on the left contains the
baptismal font.
In the afternoon reception was
rendered the bishop on the lawn of
E. Fl. Noyes.
At the afternoon services DR..
Coke preached the sermon, Bishop
Whitehead made the address to the
candidates and Mr.. and Mrs. Horace
Porter and the Misses Girard,
daughters of former burgess, P. j.
Girard, we're confirmed, and the fol-
loving named infants were baptlz-
ed: Charles Edward Kenworthey

dore Beardsley Fuller.

was greatly enjoyed by the parish.

THE WASHINGTON LETTER.

From Our Regular Correspondent)
WASHINGTON. d. c., July %, 1901.
Secretary Long made short work
of the absurd story that he saw and
approved the proofs Of that portion
of the third volume Of Maclay' S
History of the Navy which refers
to Rear Admiral Schley as coward
by ordering Commander Vain
wright, superintendent Of the naval
academy, TO strike the volume from
the list of text books used. In ad-
dition, the secretary made public n
statement in which he said 81
know nothing of Maclay's intern
perate abuse Of Admiral Schley and
it is absurd TO say that I would en-
dorse his language when he calls
Admiral Schley a coward. Admiral
Schley is no coward. No one in the
service who knows him has ever
for a moment doubted his bravery
or gallantry in action" OF the
publication alleging the navy de-
partment to be opposed to a con-
gressional investigation Of Admiral
Schley's conduct in the West Indian
campaign, Secretary Long said: lit
is unjust to the department. to say
that it will oppose any investigation
of Admiral Schley's conduct in the
West Indian campaign. AS a mat
ter of fact ! wrote a letter to Sena-
tor Hale, chairman of the naval af =,
fairs committee Of the senate, dur
ing the last session of congress in
which / asked him to have an in
vestigation of this entire Sampson
Schley matter by a committee of
senators or a joint committee of
both houses"

Political Ciphers.

At a recent town meeting held in
Philadelphia, where some 10, 900 peo-
pie made a public protest against the
present city administration and nom
mated an independent candidate for
district attorney, one Of the speakers,
ex- District Attorney Graham, urged
the women present to join with the
men and help elect p. f. Rothermel,
Jr., the candidate named. We have
all learned that the influence Of polit'
ical ciphers, no matter how respect
able, is too flimsy to be valuable on
election day.
There is no doubt that many wo'
men, especially the tax payers, desire
to have the ballot purified, and honest
officials in office.
Yes, they are quite ready to take q
hand in driving of the pack Of hun
CRY wolves who feed from the public
crib. Win Mr.. Graham or any prac
tieal politician inform the women 0.
Pennsylvania how they can aid il
bringing about better conditions9

pemoeraey and Rspublicanism.


Very few of us can show a per-
feet specimen of the jewel of con-
sistency, but the most conspicuous
examples of inconsistency are the
editors who call their papers "The
Republican" or "The Democrat, e"
and then refuse to publish an occas-
ional article on woman suffrage.
A democracy or a republic is "a
country in which the people make
their own laws and choose their
own governors. A democrat or a
republican is a person who processes
to believe that the people of his
country have e right to make their
own laws and choose their own gov
ernors. Unless a man is feeble
minded or insane he can hardly deny
that women are "people" and yet
there are thousands of so-called
democrats and republicans who
strenuously refuse to let the femin-
inc half of the people have any hand
in choosing their own governors or
making their own laws and if they
happen to be editors they empha-
.sizetheir inconsistency by naming
their papers "The Democrat" or
"The Republican.
However, there may be some ex-
cuse for them. Once when was a
public school teacher / asked, in a
written examination, for the defni-
tion of a democracy or republic.
One little girl wrote "a democracy
is a country where the people make
their own laws and 'chews their
own governors.
May be the anti-suffrage editor
of "The Republican" or THE DEM
ocrat" spells choose" the way my
little pupil spelt it, and his need is
the same as hers, little more edu-
cation.

peanuts were found a party of chill
dren royalty entertained by Mrs.
Jardon. The tiniest tot, Master
Everel Unsworth, triumphantly
carried of the first prize awarded

long be remembered by them.

Mr.. William Vaughn, chairman
of the Alabama republican state
committee, who is in Washington
on business, said: ut looks as
though the republicans in the con-
stitutional convention of Alabama
might have a deciding vote, al
though they are only Is or 20 out of
1856 delegates. 1t is already evident
that the democrats are badly divid-
ed among themselves. On the suf-
frage plan they have presented two
different reports, and the best DEM
ocrats in the convention and of the
state are against the grandfather
clause, Senator Pettus has declared
that its adoption would be unwise,
and Senator Morgan has said quite
as much. Then there is perplexity
about the payment of the poll tax
as a prerequisite for voting. One
of the democratic members of con-
gress has investigated and found
that the negroes in the black belt
pay $4,000 poll taxes, where the
whites only pay 5000 To be sure,
the negroes are largely in the ma
iority there, but the democrats are
not certain that the poll tax provi-
sion will give them any great aid in
suppressing the negro vote. The
convention will probably be in ses-
sion until Christmas before it
straightens out all the tangles.
