Mrs. Marion Todd on Woman Suffrage

Law; in his strong hands is the rud-
der of Government.
If the fact that women eat, drink,
sleep, snore, laugh and talk gives
them an equal right to Govern, the
same fact will carry them to the
battle line, and the battle-ship-fo
soldiers and sailors eat, drink, sleep,
snore, laugh, talk, etc. If because
women eat and sleep, love and hate
like men, they are therefore entitled
to the ballot, I don't see the con-
sistency of Mrs. Todd's wearing
skirts, instead of-er, the other
things
CD 1t isn't question of wheth-
er women have the physical and
mental sire qgth to place ga lit
tie piece of paper in box" Mrs.
Todd hardly does herself justice,
there. Tremendous social, moral
and psychological consequences fol-
low the physically trifiing act of
coition-and it is even so with the
ballot. Give it to the wrong class or
sex, and revolutionary results are
certain. 1t was very simple thing,
physically, when the negro went to
the polls and cast his first ballot
but it was an awfully disastrous
thing to the South. Socially, moral
ly, psychologically, our whole stu
ton underwent change.
So, if the ballot is ever conceded
to women, her own status, as well as
that of Man and the Home, will be
revOlutionized. Pray don't under
stand me to mean that this change
will be in any way comparable to that
made by the negroes and the infa-
nous Reconstruction laws.
[ agree with Mrs. Todd that modern
conditions are hard on our bread
winners, male and female. Tens of
thousands of good men are doing
their level best to create a public
sentiment that will change things
for the better. But to grant the
vociferous demands of the Suffra-
gettes, would not help at ALL
The women of Special Privilege
would vote with the Interests; the
women of the slums would vote with
the Sullivans, Murphys, McCarrens,
Durhams and Coxes; the women of
the reformer class would vote with
us, Mrs. Todd; and the net result
would be, Nothing, so far as politi-
cal progress goes.
1t is clear to my mind that Woman
is blind to her own best interests
when she clamors for a privilege
which would assuredly disappoint
her, and which would tend inevitably
to lessen the respect and tender con-
sideration for her which the higher
type of man has always manifested

the slightest thought of his own.
But think of the wife so over
whelmed with duties that she has no
time to read, think and consider
matters which so deeply concern her
as the laws of the land under which
she is obliged to live. Is not such a
wife drudge and slave?
Does not such condition deprive
Wedlock of all romance, poetry and
divinity? When mothers possess no
opportunities for growth and ad-
vancement, God pity the race of men.
The law of South Carolina which
robs a mother of her babes when the
father pleases, though he be drunk
en- beast, is an instance where Jaw
concerns mothers, and illustrates the
great necessity for woman's con-
sideration in lawmaking.
To the mother belongs the fruit of
her body, and naught but an occurs
ed government would rob her of
them.
You say if women voted they
would have to vote with the male
members of the family or antagonize
them, breeding inharmony. If wo-
men were forced to vote as their hus
bands have been voting, there would
be no advantage in woman suffrage.
1t would be as bad as woman's bal
lot controlled by the Pope, if not
worse.
Although I claim to have as good
natural right to the ballot as a
man, yet care nothing for the bal
lot for the sake of the ballot. It is
results that are desired.
Woman asks for the ballot that
she may overturn many laws of
man; such laws, for instance, as the
law of consent, which protects the
lecherous scoundrel when he seeks to
devour twelve to fourteen--year-o
girls.

Once in an age, some Boadicea, or
Joan of Arc, might spring up and
seize on evanescent leadership; but
such thing as this modern invasion
of mans sphere by women, was ut
terly unknown to our free and hon
ored Teutonic ancestresses.
1t is a symptom of a decaying
civilization. It was so in Rome: it
was SO with the ancient regime in
France.
CD That the man now has the
ballot, comes of the fact that Gov
eminent has changed it's forms and
it's Instruments. But the right to
vote is exclusively that of the male
sex, as it is the duty of being the
soldier, the seaman, the road-maker
and the bridge builder.
Even such monstrosities as Mrs
O. H. P. Belmont, would be Mortified
to see the ladies digging another
subway, throwing another bridge
across to Brooklyn, or putting to-
gether, hundreds of feet up in the
air, the skeleton of a sky-scraper.
No manly man would like to see wo-
men doing the work of carpenters,
brick-masons, train-crews, black
smiths, or saW-mill laborers.
CO Is Mrs. Todd correct when
she says that the Almighty never
gave man certificate that he could
vote? When we speak of the ballot
and of voting, the question involved
is Government. Was not the male

mate creature that the Almighty had

thought about the birds and beasts
being better off than he himself was

Oath, in an article entitled "The Man
and the Woman that the very first
result OF woman suffrage in the coun-
try would be to augment the power
of the papal hierarchy.
We know this would be the result;
in which case l would deem it a ca
lamity if such suffrage predOminated.
Your other objection to the ques-
ton, based upon the natural differ
ence between the sexes, it seems to
me does not at all hit the mark. Are
you not begging the question when
you base your objection upon mere
matter of anatomy?
You say that whenever the men
become incapable of government the
end of all things has arrived"
One could easily be persuaded that
the end of all things had already ar
rived, judging by the reading of your
publications.
Never have facts been set forth in
such ringing, powerful and scholarly
terms, and every true man and wo-
man must thank God that you live to
do it.
That you should be absolutely right
upon every question, however, would
be marvel
Because woman is physically diff
ferent from man, you would with
hold the ballot from her. Why not
disfranchise man because he is diff
ferent from woman?
Upon basis Of difference in struc-
ture if only one sex should vote, we
want to be mighty sure we have
struck the right sex. Thus far we
have never had certificate from the
Almighty that man should vote. We
have had nothing higher than mans
certificate touching upon his adapt
ability for the ballot and his superior
and exalting qualifications to govern
his mother. You say if Nature
meant woman to do the same things
as man, why should they not have
been created along the same lines?"
Indeed they are created along the
same lines in many ways. Both
sexes have to eat and drink and
sleep, both love and hate-rejoice
and suffer. If it's matter of physi-
cal difference, where are you to draw
the line? Or is any difference at all
sufficient for her condemnation?
1t is true she can not throw ball
like man, as you have charged, but
if she could would this help the case
would it better qualify her to cast
ballot? If so, what pity she can
not throw from the shoulder.
You say man is built on lines of
straightforward with reference to
grace and beauty-that the promi-
nent structural features of the man
are his large head, thick neck, broad
shoulders, strong arms, etc. Now
the strength of woman, while infe-
rior to man, is quite equal to the or
deal of placing little piece of paper
in a box. The twenty five to fifty
thousand wives and widows in New
York city who are forced to support
their families, with plenty of hus-
bands thrown in to be supported,
possess sufficient strength to cast a
ballot.
You say in the normal woman the
whole physique is built with refer
ence to the womb and the nurture
Of its fruit. Yes, but why should
this fact bar her from the ballot?
1t should crown her queen of the
world. This most divine function
should grant her the supremacy in
government.
If the ballot must be based upon
the physical difference between man
and woman, let it be the basis of
motherhood clothed with her supe-

but aches and backache. All the aver
age man knows about hot air fur
mace IS that hot air rises, and when
it refuses to do this natural phenom-
enon his only resource is perspiration,
profanity and more coal. But there
was man one day who reasoned that
the fire was not at fault and fell to

he resolved to make them draw,

small electric fan for about $40. cut a

air throu2h the pipes in fine ciccula-

work properly, he does not waste his
coal but presses button and the fan
does the trick.
Electric fans can be used also to
suck the air through the hot air pipes.
The fan is enclosed in small box

pipes and distribute it about the
room. One family saved nearly two
dollars month all last winter by
using such fan, even after deducting
the added charges for electricity to
run the fan, which is not more than
half cent an hour. The electric
fan can also be used in connection
with steam heat by allowing the
breeze to play upon the heated sur
face of the radiator. which will quickly
radiate the heat about the room.
