WOMAN SUFFRAGISTS ASKS
WILL SOME ONE EXPLAIN
40 the editor of The Sow

To the Editor of The Spy
1t would be gratifying to great
many earnest men and women to hear
just one good reason for denying to
women a voice in our government, the
fundamental principal of which is
Consent of the governed" that does
not apply with equal force to the dis
reimbursement of men.
It cannot be her want of physical
power. for it does not require any
great amount of physical power to
cast ballot or study the questions of
the day.
1t cannot be her lack of intelligence,
for in the United States more women
can read and write than men.
1t cannot be a lack of moral force, as
our prison statistics show that 95 per
cent Of the criminals confined in jails
and penitentiaries are men.
1t cannot be because she cannot per-
form military duty for two thirds of
the men who do vote are exempt from
military duty and the only class of
men who are disfranchised, except
foreigners, criminals, idiots and insane
men, are the soldiers stationed at our
various garrisOns.
1t cannot be that she is too good, for
a just government could not compel
its best citizens to be governed by its
worst
1t cannot be her occupations, for
they are as varied as those of men and
would require no more time from the
duties of women than those of men.
1t cannot be her maternity, for being
the one who must give the soldier to
the state and rear the citizen for his
civic duty. it would seem especially
necessary that she should be a living
factor in the government in order to
educate him to the highest ideal of
American citizenship.
1t cannot be because women do not
want to vote, for there have been more
petitions sent to our United States
Congress and the various state legis-
latures asking for woman suffrage
than all the other petitions combined,
and Furthermore, the women do vote
at every election in the states where
they have full suffrage in as great a
proportion as do the men. The fact
that some men do not vote is never
made an argument why all men
should be disfranchised.
1t cannot be because women do not
contribute to the support of the
government, for they are taxed equal

"BUFFALO" JONES WELL AND
HEARTY

The Spy some days ago contained
paragraph relating to the death Of
Buffalo Jones. 1t was based on a
report contained in a western news
paper, though, for that matter, Mr.
Jones' obituary was published in many
newspapers in the East and West.
Now it is announced from Topeka that
Mr.. Jones Is not dead. On the contra
ry he is very much alive, and has
keenly appreciated the privilege of
reading his own obituary. AS many
kindly words were said about him one
can imagine how the experience could
be pleasing.
Mr.. Jones resides in Topeka. In
some way, unexplained, the idea that
he had died in Salina, Kan, was ere
ated. 1t is stated, further. that Mr..
Jones, whose work to save the buffalo
herds won for him the nickname
Buffalo" hopes to live many years
and that he expects to see a remnant
of the herds that he has managed to
domesticate provided with a home by
the United States government He is
very much interested in an experiment
being tried at his suggestion on the
Goodnight Cattle Ranch in Texas,
where there is a herd of seyenty-five
buffaloes. A cross has been effected
between Texan cattle and buffaloes by
which it is hoped that strain of SUI
perior beef producing stock may be
produced
Real friends of dumb animals are
not so abundant that any of them can
well be spared, and it is good to know
that Buffalo" Jones is still on earth.

COMMUNICATIONS

To the Editor of The Spy and the
Voters of Ward Six:
Gentlemen: You are to select today
a candidate for aldermen, and the two
gentlemen in the contest are worthy Of
your support, but you will have to
choose between them. One is a young
man of great promise, holding re-
sponsible position in one of the large
and prosperous industries of the city,
and now serving in the lower board.
The other is a gentleman who has for
many years been our street commits
sioner and whose integrity and faith
fulness We cannot but honor. A year
ago he was pressed to take the nomi-
nation for alderman against his wishes
and was duly elected Ward Six can
well be proud of its representatives in
the municipal government and If the
other wards Of the city had men of
equal integrity, broadness of compre-
hension, and executive ability, we
should have a far better adminiStra
ton than at present Incompetency,
the bane of our government, cannot be
charged to our ward, for we have not
chosen small men to represent us. An
other drawback TO good government is
our lack of approaching the services
of men of standing and character.
Modern politics is too grasping and
RShSoAiot 10 40 ONll 6Oous % iAeb9 pSNAA
illustrated in an extreme way in New
York, and We cannot afford not to ac-
knowledge and endorse the services of
our best citizens.
Mr.. Stone represents the class of
gentlemen we need in our government,
but seldom get. His long experience
and familiarity with details especially
qualities him for the position. He has
served on the board but one year, and
We should show our appreciation, not
only of him personally, but also of the
class of citizens he represents, by re-
electing him. His opponent is young
and a little fresh. He will improve
with age. Hold your vote for him I'M
til next time. Gentlemen, lay aside
personal preferences and friendships,
reward faithfulness and endorse our
leading citizenship by voting for L. B.
Stone for alderman. VOTER.

ly with men for its support.
What, then, is the true reason fol
this unjust discrimination against the
women of this nation?
Is 1t possible, as a prominent writer
has said, that it is due to the selfish
ness of man, who having the power in
his own hands, reluctantly yields it,
except by brute force?

Whether the saloon is the poor mans

closing the saloons on Sunday and al
lowing the clubs to remain open there
is no small danger of leading the work.
ingman to feel that there is one law
for the clubman and another for him.
DR.. Morgan adds that repeated CONVEX
sations with wOrkingmen have con-
WINGED him of this. His idea is not that
saloons should be made places of all
day resort on Sunday, but that they
should be permitted to sell to custom
ers at stated hours. While, of course,
there are many persons in the city,
especially among tho ministers, who re-
sent any suggestion of modified Sun
day laws, it is clear that this method
of simplifying a great social and po-
litical problem is growing in favor
with thoughtful citizens.-Providenee
