Marse Henry on Female
Suffrage.
Baton Rouge New Advocate.

DdtOu hOuSo NcW huNOCoeo'
Henry Watterson is easily the
greatest Southern editor and speak
or. He holds to the old Democra-
tic faith and has old-time ideas
and views on many subjects that
appeal to conservative men and
women not given to chasing fads
or fancies. He is particularly
sound and eloquent on female suf-
frage.
This is his latest A.:
II deplore the agitation for wo-
man suffrage and other related
subjects, because it tends to create
sex antagonism. Woman is the
moral light of the world. Without
her influence men would be raven
ing wolves. There could be no
civilization. l believe in the wild
ening of woman's field of work.
There is practically no profession
today in which q capable woman
could not succeed. They are paid
less for their work, and that is
wrong - but the ballot will not
help matters. The ballot is very
overestimated benefit. in my OPT
Mon, and often most unpleasant,
duty.

tion | think l would take the vo-
ting power away from half the
persons who exercise it, and l
would not inflict it upon woman.
hold her too high to wish to see
her debauched by politics.
But is politics necessarily de.
basing?
"Politics is muck. In any Gloss
contest where tho woman's vote
was determining, the will of the
bad woman would control. Wo
man suffrage may work fairly vel
in sparsely settled communities
like Colorado. but if it prevailed
in the country at large would de
base womanhood.
"YOu will find that most of th'
advocates OF woman suffrage ar
discontented or chlldless, unles
they are society women who. hav
ing exhausted the excitement o
other amusements, have taken i
up a. fad"
