DR.. o. Pickett on Woman Suffrage.

AS the conditions of human
society are founded upon char
acter rather than sex, ii seems
strange that any one of either
sex should be denied the right to
the exercise of those virtues,
that 20 to the making up of the
best type of character. Ii the
foundation of republican form
of government is based upon
character / fail to see the wisdom
of denying to one half of the
citizens, who have always been
accorded equal good character
with the other half, the right to
assist by their ballots, in build
ing the character of the succeed
ing generation worthy of the
duties and responsibilities they
will soon be called upon to as
sumo.
If l were building a cottage or
a mansion for myself and wife to
occupy, beautify aud adorn by
our united effort and if | con-
sidered that she was intelligent
enough to be my helpmate, good
enough to occupy with me the
building when finished, / should
feel ashamed and self disgraced
If in my egotism for a moment
even, ] did not counsel and con-
suit her as to its construction,
arrangements and adjoining.
Just so l feel ashamed of the law
and public opinion that forbids
my better half to assist in build
ing up national character com
mensurate with the structure of
a glorious Republic.
If when approach the ballot
box to discharge the duty of
every American citizen to the
government to which he belongs
and which belongs, some officers
should, if according to law, say
to my son, who is of lawful age
to cast his ballot and who had
spent one, two or three years as a
soldier in defense of the country
and who held an honorable dis.
charge from such service; 1 say
if the law made it a duty and
public opinion backed up that
law, for the judges of an election
to say to my son, "Sir, you have
no right to cast a ballot here nor
elsewhere" | should not abuse
the officers but I would make
"Rome Howell" with my denucia'
lions of such law and such a
public opinion, and so would you
my friend, and so would every
other man who had a drop OF
loyal blood in his veins. Such q
law would be like the fugitive
slave law, disgrace the statute

you think your wife is as intelli
gent as your son; has she not a!
