The Mothers Bow.

To the women who have all the
rights they want, do you forget
100000 licensed schools of vice in
our country? Do you realize that
this makes your dOor-yard fence
the dead line beyond which your
boy passes only at the peril of his
soul? And to you who say that il
is woman s special work to bring
up children, do you know to do
this successfully that we must
have voice in making the condi-
tiOns that surround us while we do
that work?
To deprive woman of the right
to express her thought with au-
thOrity at the ballOt-box puts
mark of imbecility upon her at
once. So far as the government is
concerned, we are held in perpetu-
al tutelage-we are minors
always. Think of the effect of
this dishOnor upon the boys of the
land. The mother tries to teach
her boy that he must be pure and
temperate and honorable. that he
must control his passions, and
walk as a man among men, if he
would succeed in life. That boy
goes out from his mother. and tha
first thing he meets with neutrah-
Tes ana gives the lie to all his
mothers teachings. He says to
himself, "Why, mother says so
and so. But he finds men in high
places violating all those teach
ings, and he begins to conclude
that his mother does not know
much about it. From that moment
that boy discounts his mothers
Judgment, and though she must
still have a hold ON his affections
she does not have a hold upon him
in any other way.
There is where you wrong us,
gentlemen, and cripple us in
training men who will make the
statesmen of this nation. If you
want us to make statesmen, you
must give the women an interest
in the government, and you must
count their opinions.
Many mothers succeed in bring
ing up good sons in spite of these
difficulties, but they do their
work at am unfair disadvantage,
while they have no voice in shap-
ling the environment of their
homes. Too often bad environ
ment neutrahzes the best efforts
of good mother,
Ella ShOup Willis.
