San Jose, February 9, 1919.
The San Francisco call., 1910-02-10

In The Call of February ? is an
article by Mrs. Leslie Carter we'll worth
a review. She says that if women
want to vote they can. as they train
men and always get what they want
from his majesty man; that women
do not wish to vote.
That is true of many. but would
anything ever be done If all men We're
required to assent to its being done?
The nation is divided into camps of op-
posing men and in most cases a plu-
rality of those voting settles the ques-
tion. Our laws are made by less than
half the voters. Men never propose to
defer what they want until 'all want
it, Why suggest such a test for
women?
For ages subordnation has been
drilled into women by church and state,
and few men or women see the con-
nection between the ballot and what
they want. Women are Indifferent ratt-
er than opposed. Many will work for
it, few against. But for two genera
tions our leading women. as Mesdames
stowe, Howe. LivermOre, Stone, Stan
ton and Barton. in America. and Mes
danes Browning. SOmervile. Mar
tineau and Florence Nightingale. in
England. nearly all women eminent
i'm literature or philanthropy, have in
dorsed woman suffrage These women
lead. and
where the vanguard rests today
the rear will camp tomorrow.
Not long since the same bat
tie was fought for women's education,
property rights chance for employ
ment and had alI-women been required
to consent or make an effort, those
opportunities would still be withheld
Many women had not thought about it,
they wanted the chance and did not
know it. The vote, which is choice
counted should be given and no one
compelled to use it. A democracy i'm
periIs itself when it denies its founda
tion principles.
Mrs Carter says that il is woman's
business to manage the baby. not the
ballot" that woman trains man. Does
she? The purity of baby's food. air.
water. milk. depends on politics; the
price of food. clothes, baby buggy. rat
tie. etc. floats or falls for occult politi-
cal reasons. Baby and mother are both
in politics and can not get out Shall
the mother take no interest in these
important adiuncts to her baby?
Then environment develops the good
or the bad in the baby. and. as Luther
Burbank demonstrates. determines the
hereditv of future babies. That en-
vironment is involved in politics.
should the mother ignore it? Baby
