why women do Not Wish the Suffrage

This is not DR.. Lyman Abbott's
article from the Atlantic Monthly. 1t
is merely brief statement of facts by
woman who does wish the suffrage.
A statement of facts is something DR..
Abbott never makes when he writes
on the suffrage question.
In the first place, women do want to
vote They prove this by voting as
generally as men whenever they are
given the right of suffrage. Many
women think and say that they do not
want to vote, and here are the reasons
why:
LIST. The average woman is sadly
deficient in self-respect and in a sense
of justice. Disfranchisement does not
favor the development of these quail
ties, and women have been disfran-
chised so long that they submit
meekly and tamely to injustice, and
no indignant throb stirs their hearts
when they read the words "idiots,
lunatics, criminals, minors, and wom-
en-" 1t seems to them perfectly
natural and, on the whole, rather
sweet and lovely that they should be
ranked politically with idiots, luna
tics, felons and children.
End. Women have for generations
been taught that their best, their
highest empire, is to please men, and
as men are said to dislike strong
minded women, women frequently
choose to appear weak-minded in
order to win the favor of men.
3rd Women suffrage is not yet
fashionable enough to attract the
masses of women. If the Associated
Press should tomorrow send out a
telegram announcing that the Four
Hundred of New York and Newport
were forming suffrage associations,
and that it was good form to want to
vote and bad form not to want to
vote, in the course of a month the
suffrage associations would outnumber
the finch clubs and euchre clubs, and
the Atlantic would publish no more
articles on "Why Women do Not
Want the Suffrage
Make women suffrage pleasing to
men and fashionable with society and
the average woman will want to vote.
But let a sense of justice, the spirit of
ID. A. r., be reused in woman, and
with this her self-respect, and she
will not care whether woman suffrage
is popular or fashionable. She will
want to vote and she will not be afraid
or ashamed to say so.

AS to lockjaw. the Pasteur laborato-
ries send out steady supply of anti
toxin serum that will prevent the out
break of this disease very much as by
drophobia. In both cases, it is true.
the treatment is only preventive, not
curative, but this is usually sufficient.
since the danger is plainly Indicated in
advance. If by some sad oversight by
drophobia does break out it always
kills just as it always has killed. but
with lockiaw there is still chance Of
saving life, even after an outbreak. by
inoculating ockjaw antitoxin directly
into the brain. The record of recovery

DR.. Rainsfora Versus DR.. Abbott.

DR.. Lyman Abbott, in his recent
article against equal rights for wom-
en-, claims that women ought not
to vote, because the main function of
government is protection of person,
property and reputation, and women
are not qualified to furnish protec-
ton. Dr. William S. Rainsford says:
Whether we greet it with dismay
or hopefulnesS, one of the results of
our civilization is that legislation is
entering spheres which are peculiar
| ly woman's. Once upon time
legislation chiefly had to do with
protection of property. Now, points
that we did not dream of legislating
about are so dealt with, as matter
of course. We legislate about homes,
sanitary questions, education, rela-
tion of labor to capital, licensing
questions all moral questions these,
questions that in the most intimate
way affect the home as well as the
outside interests Of life, and questions
on which woman is not only Judge,
but decidedly the best judge. 1t is
most unreasonable and unfair that in
these questions where experience is
vital, and all her tenderest interests
are Immediately affected her in
fluence should be confined, to an
indirect influence, and her vote. if
recorded at all, only recorded through
pressure on her husband OF her sons. .

piled that as soon as the purser of the

tickets of said Japs that they (said
agents. would refund the money there
upon he willingly assented thereto.
Said Japs a couple of days after Mr..
Cathcart's said visit sent a representa-
tive to my office and offered to sell
their claims for passage money at
discount if I would purchase them.
This I refused, telling said representa-
tive that if the men would only be
patient that their attorney would col
lect their claims in full. Late Friday
afternoon, Dec. 4th, / found letter
'on my desk from r. W. Breckons in
forming me that said eight Japs had
placed their claims in his hands for
collection. Saturday morning 1 called
on Mr.. Breckons and told him l was
ready to pay him and Mr.. Cathcart
said passage money upon said Japs
properly identifying themselves, as l
had had no personal dealings with
them and could not distinguish them
from any other eight Japs. 1 have
not yet paid over to said Japs SAID
passage money, nor do l intend to do
so until they prove their identity. and
until then their said passage money
swill remain on deposit with one of our
local banks. The purchase through
me of steerage passage for Japanese
wishing to go to America is simply
business proposition, and il they can't
be obtained from me, they may be
had from others, and none of US can
get more than a very few each month.

have misused or deceived any of my
japanese patrons, cordially invite
them to make a searching inyesuga-
ton thereof The truth Of the matter
is. have "butted in and got some or
the business away from parties who

PLANT
IS GROWING HERE

J. T. Moir, manager of Onomea
plantation, has about one dozen mos
quito plants growing. These plants
have the tenderest care and it is hoped
when they grow and multiply, they
will have the same effect on mosqui-
toes that Prof. Koebele's bug killing
parasites have upon bugs.
The seed from which these precious
plants spring, were bought in London
by Mr.. Moir and they cost SIS per doZ-
en-. Each seed is about the size of a
mustard seed. :. The plant was orig
inally found in Africa by an English
army officer. Mr.. Moir bought three
lots at S. throw. One package was
given to a friend in Honolulu. From
the other two Mr.. Moir has a promis-
ing dozen growths.-Hilo Tribune.

Mr. Proctor was asked this morning
what would be the nature of the con

tion seriously. He said that IL he went
to Oyster Bay it would be for social
reasons, because Oyster Bay is one of
the incest places in the country to

The opinion Is that Mr.. Proctor and
the President will discuss the Postofiloe

side. The letter OF Charles Emory

Mr.. Proctor replied in such strong
terms. is likely TO be a fruitful topic
