although conditions in those schools will not
apply to her class. But having been carefully

of broadening her own and her students horizon

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

The present agitation concerning women
and the franchise has at least one peculiar
characteristic: 1t is one-sided. Little is said
publicly against it. In some places, for in.
stance, Philadelphia, anti-suffrage organza-
tions have been formed and are working with
zeal, but they are the exceptions that prove
the rule. The energetic 'suffragists'' and
''suffragettes' are hammering away for dear
life, advancing many arguments in support of
their claim, but few people care to offer any
arguments in rebuttal.
The truth is that the number of people who
are really interested is small. Some men and
women of high ideals are advocating it because
they believe it will bring through legislation
and other means a vast betterment in the
living conditions of the people, especially of
women and children. Some politicians, on
the other hand, are advocating it because they
know we'll enough that they can play upon
the prejudices of the women and manipulate
their votes just as readily as they do in the
case of the men, and they know, too, that the
women who belong in this category will form
large majority Of those who will be induced
to vote.
In theory there is nothing wrong with
woman suffrage. Women are qualified men
tally to vote quite as much as men, and fun
damentally they have just as much right to
vote as have men. tits not a matter of right"
as some of the suffragists seem to think. 1t is
a matter of privilege; no one man or woman,
has the 'right'' to vote in the United States
unless he be granted that right expressly by
the people through their regularly cons
stituted representatives. But the people of
intelligence and high ideals who are sgitating
the subject are not familiar with practical
conditions. They do not realize, for instance.
that the people, be they Republicans, Demo-
Gratis Prohibitionists or Socialists, who weigh
the merits of public questions with clear
headed judgment and vote accordingly are
very much in the minority. Most men and
women are creatures of habit and prejudice,
and granting the franchise to women is not
going to change human nature.
Therefore in our opinion, though we are in
sympathy with all sound movements toward
better things, it will be matter of deep regret
if the franchise is forced upoL the unwilling
mass of women.
