SHALL women VOTE?

Editor Hustler:-FoIlowing
your editorial on woman suffrage
which appeared in The Hustler
April 8, was one expatiating on
the same subject, in the AshevilEe
Citizen, a few days later.
Judging from editorials appear

newspaper editors are against
extending suffrage to women. I
would like to know exactly why
this is so, and if there are not

they always give. In other words,

the better element of the femi-
nine sex does not desire the bal
lot. That this is a mistaken idea
the proof is forthcoming right
here in HendersonvilIe.

are women amply able to handle
the ballot who do not wantit, but

against giving it to the thousands
of others equally as brainy, who
are imploring US for it. lam not

little wives. | trust | will not be
misunderstood, because our coun-
try furnishes ideal husbands as a
as examples of which you
and l, Mr.. Editor, are shining
in our own estimation at

The other argument always

frage is, in substance, that in

ions the women will themselves

Anent CHOOSING a Wife.

Now comes the great question that
Is agitating social Washington. Eru-
dite authors and ambitious newspa-
per-men are contributing a symposi-
um on "how to choose a wife" The
old and Jet ever new story Of love
and mating Is always a popular theme
for discussion.
The conclusion was reached in one
corner of the press gallery. during a
special discussion of this question.
that mot one man out of 5000 who
marries actually chooses his wife," He
thinks, 1t Is true, that he is counting
a girl, while. as matter of fact, 1t is
girl who is counting him. When he
thinks he Is claiming her for his own,
as a matter of fact she Is making him
a captive for life. OF course, 1t was
admitted, there was sort of charm
in such capacity, even for the most
freedom-loving man; still no amount
of discussion appeared to bring any
real solution of the way man
chooses his wife, or the way wife
chooses a husband. In fact, this COM
plicated question promises to take
rank with the old query, How old is
Ann?"; the true authorship of "Ain't
it awful, Mabel?" or the unanswera-
BILE problem, "Who struck Billy Pater-
SOM"
1t has been suggested that IL the
government would take a hand in the
solution, as it does in Japan, it might
be possible to marry the right wom-
en- to the right men-train up lady.

Short.Siuhted Mothers.

The housekeeper who has to man
aee carefully should set herself to
learn this much of wisdom; to entrust
to others the duties that they can per-
form, in order that she may exercise
her greater skill upon others that
they cannot accomplish.
Every one knows mothers-and very
good mothers too-who seem to feel a
kind of pride in bearing their own
burdens and denying to others the dis
cipline of taking a share Of them.
Such are the women who boast
that they never ask their husbands to
fetch a book or carry portmanteau;
never trouble their children with lit
tie home duties. but bring them up
to be free OF any burden or knowl-
edge OF housework
There is no credit due to a woman
for this kind of independence She
is denying her family the opportunity
for taking lessons In service and in
practical housewifery.
Let not the mother say to herself,
Il can do this better than they can. "

Got Them Mixed,

There is an amusing story In which

while ambassador to England, intro
duced Harte to Mrs. Ward. II am sc

she. For long time have known

your pardon. Mrs. Ward, but you
have put the Little Breeches' on the
