clares: Steadily and surely the common

belief in equal rights for women
There are some discordant notes, how
ever for the Birmingham (Ala.) Age-Herdld
Of Feb. 10, declares that the reason for the
action of the 'ar-Western States on this
question In that they are deficient in wo-
ing to induce immigration on the part OF
women by offering them the privilege OF
suffrage But how can that be when the
best women do not want the suffrage and
would not use 1t II they had II? II the
oplv drive them away. And surely these
States cannot be accused OF wishing to
encourage the immigration OF bad women.
This argument seems to have-a sort OF re-
flex. double-back action.
The Augusta GA, Chronicis Of Feb. 10
closes half-column editorial on The Femi-
nine Franchise by gravely declaring:
.Women exercise too much influence in
the ballroom, the boudoir and the home
TO deliberately throw II away by mixing
VIA, ohnorio,s and avian DANGEROUS
creatures men do make themselves out to
be. II really seems as II women ought 10
atop bearing male children. There are
some people who hold that the association
which women would have with men at the
polls would not be nearly 20 intimate as
that required by round dances. Even those
who do not object in the slightest to the
ballroom would hardly claim that the
influence exerted by women here makes
influence Possessed by women In the 'bou.
d )ir,' that naturally would be OF too private
a character to be discussed In public print.
1t is generally supposed, however, that

one way or another. Men put q queer
estimate on woman's love for her home
when they assume that she u only waiting
for an act Of the Legslature to enable her
woman would vote In her own ward and
here she would meet for tho most part her
neighbors and friends, the people she is
accustomed TO trade with and encounter
In her daily life. A. none Of thee could
approach nearer to the polls than fifty feet
| Ii does not seem as II she would be greatly
contaminated while she was doing her
voting. IL crows could only know that
figure in the cornheld was q mere bundle
OF rags and straw they would help them

| that after awhile women will have more
| sense than crows?
