of the effects of this slavery in the past,

Will Get Ballot When She
Makes Up Her Mind She
Wants 1t.
BY CHARLOTTE MANGoLp.

TT has been said that the ballot is
denied to three classes of people
convicts, lunatics and women. |
do not think this is quite true, because
there are so many men voting today
who would seem to come under the Sec
ond classification, although they are at
large. If the rule could only be op-
erative hat all men who ought to be
convicted shall be denied the right to
vote we would not need a large number
of good men" to nave a majority to
run things" The increasing inquiry
as to whether women will vote is a
startling evidence of popular curiosity
at least, and we know that when many
people ask the same question the right
kind of an answer is bound to be made
very soon.
should properly be put to woman her.
self, as she only is qualified to answer
it. 1t cannot be said that man is alb
to answer it. He has not asked the
question very much yet!
Taking just the briefest glance back
we do not have to dig through mustv
volumes to ascertain the previous place
of woman in the history of human af-
fairs. She certainly has been and is
today considered very much of a nonen-
tity from a political or religious stand
point. Her duties have been chiefly
outlined by the superior biped who
knows so much about bowling, horse
racing and commercial schemiug that
he can with ease take care of the mat
tiers of state and look after our welfare
without consulting us. The truth is, we
have been influenced by the self-as-
serted superiority of man too long. We
have taken too much for granted what
he has odd us. He has credited US
with a marvellous degree of intuition"
mainly for The purpose of keeping us
busy with introspection while he was
taking possession of the goods" and
making 1t necessary for us to depend
upon him for clothes, food, shelter,
recreation and ornament. Perhaps
I have no right to use the word
recreation" when | see the work my
sisters have to do in home, store and
factory and it might be more ac-
curate to say physical culture"
But woman has been shamefully dis
eliminated against commercially and
for no other reason but the desire OF
her male superior CD to maintain his
economic supremacy and be in the con
tinued, position of patronizing us and
making us look up to him.
All political and economical changes
take place first in the opinion, and lol
their tangible conformation follows with
military promptness. That clean and
tidy house, with it's atmosphere free
from any impurity, had to exist first

III MpELLiNd POWER IN CONGRESS-.

There Is encouragement to believe thata final vote IN the Payne tariff bill
is IN sight An early date for he passage of the Ill may be fixed m Monday.
TAFT administration Is pledged to tanT revision at the earliest prac-
ttable time. The President called the special session light m the heels OF the
departing Sixteh Congress, and his tanf message brief and to the point was
an adnoniaon that did not fall on lsuess ears From the White House there
has sine proceeded a constant influence to keep Congress aligned to its duty
demands only hat they be honesta an just, that the party pledges to the people
shah mott be faldfed, and that the session shall lot be prolonged to the injury of
the business interests of the country. The inepttude of large legislative bodies
lie proverbfaL A commanding personality like that of President Taft, standing
1T he threshold of Congress as h representative IN spokesman of the nation
and invoking Congress to Its duty, is he impelhng owe upon legislation that
the people rely on for al early denverance from pre@ntc conditions.

woman is not supposed to have a mind,
the woman in, question was certainly an
ideal for those gentlemen who think
we should not exercise our own political
power and influence in an expression
thereof through the ballot.
l have my suspicion that political
power is not only used to defraud
woman of her rights. / think / can
find a few men who are bamboozled on
election day. / hardly think woman
will, vote the way somebody else tells
her when she decides to record her
opinion about matters polite. I hardly
think the political boss will be seen
around the polls on that day! Nor the
commercial boss. either.
OF course, woman will not get the
ballot until she comes to the conclusion
that she wants it. You know If you
want anything well lone o nave to
do it yourself, and If women vote be-
cause their male political dictators de-
cided that they ought to vote. there
would be very little change in the af-
fairs Of state, and nothing at all toward
e~mancipating women-or menl The
point Of value about the matter is,
however, woman is going to vote be-
cause she is making UP her mind
on this point. She has been willing toe
long to "let the man go out n get
the moneyaand you stay and take care
of the house." That policy has kept
her a drudge and a domestic slave of a
wage slave in the majority of cases.
Woman's political interests are i'm
measurably superior to those of man
The more degraded the station OF
woman in life, the more servile and
demented will be her offspring-and
that means both men and women. as
you can see by turning around. ]
heard a man once say: Il sometimes
wonder whether j see my face in a
glass or whether my reflection in the
glass sees me" 1t may De questioned
whether an inferior race Of men
from an inferior race of women or vice
versa, and a safe answer to this would
be that either case would be true.
Of-course. the ballot in the hands OF
women will not accomplish everything.
But it will do much more than 1t has

WOMEN AND TIE TARlFF QUESTION.

n The last time that Congress- wrestedt with a tanf BILL during a period of
upon hiss return home remarked @ his wife; We'll, they nave passed the tariff
bill at last" To which can the inqurng response; Couldn't they pay it,
sressional affairs, but there has been evident a wide interest among the sex in
h Payne BILL and nor particularly in those schedules that rela % womens

necessarily a luxury unless W hold that anything beyond the gMb of Mother
Eve is dspensabe and, therefore, OF a necessary for women Nor cn it well
be held that articles of wear hat are merely for adornment of the person are in
40 sense a feminine necessity The mere male mind might so regard 1T, but in
such mattnst the female Judgment is fully entitled to hav a voice But the

Of the woman. Wooden fabrics blankets clothing, etc, certainly figure among
the necesares OIL life, but there is practically no change in the WOO schedule,
and by the method of levying the duties articles of common veal are made to
pay duties as high as 100 per cent The duties IN wonsns ant chldrens dress

GAS-ELECTRIC CARS

Determined to keep abreast of the
times IN railroad equipment the South
ern Railway Company. comprising
many OF the most important lines in
the south, has added two Of the very
latest types of gas-electric cars to
it's rolling stock.
These cars are equipped with stand
ard commutating pole railway motors
OF 100 hip. Two Of these Motors are
located on the forward truck, giving
a motor capacity Of 200 h. p TO each
car. The current is supplied from a
G00-volt generator. which is direct
coupled to an s-cylln6er gas engine in
the forward compartment. a con-
troller similar to that used on an or
binary trolley car is located conven-
lent to the operator, and through this
the current passes from the generator
to the motors. Combined straight and
automatic air brakes are provided with
the usual valves and accessories. The
car bodies are Of steel, about 55 II.
long, with a seating capacity Of 81
passengers. Both rear and center en-
frances are provided thus furnishing
a convenient means OF dividing the
two classes OF passengers as required
I'm the south. These cars were built
and equipped for the Southern Rail-
way by the General Electric Company
after a thorough test OF this type OF
car between Manassas and Strasburg
last summer.
