Do THEY CARE TO VOTE.

1t is contended that women do not
wish to vote. This may be true,
doubtless is, of a few women who
have no property interests, and are
not concerned in any employment out
side of every agreeable family lela-
tions, and who are not inclined to-
ward much intellectual activity And
ctically the same may be said of
men of corresponding class, by
many of whom the right to vote is
not looked upon as worth using. But
| assert it to be true that the great
class of women, who are under the
necessity of having some concern
about their livelihood, and who have,
as a great majority of the strong,
active, thinking women of this country
have, really heartfelt interest in
the social welfare, sincerely desire to
vote. If they seem to be silent upon
the subject, it is because they have
lost hope in the realization of their
political equality, or because, not
being schooled to combat, they do
not care to identify themselves with
a fight. If you will consult simply
the desire of women, you will find the
charge that they do not want the
suffrage to be baseless. And whether
they want it or not, if by extending
it to them you can raise up new and
powerful interest in the most vital
concerns within the state. you should
not hesitate to place on them the duty
of contributing what they can to
the social welfae, even though they
might accept the obligation with
heavy hearts. The right to vote is not
a public amusement to be enjoyed as
privilege, it is rather the citizens
conscientious labor for the state. If
by voting we determined merely what
individuals, as such, should hold Off
ce, the task might be handed over to
the office-seekers themselves, with no
harm to the people. Contributed.
