There is no other such everest

bad man on earth. that there is a
criminal in our penitentiaTies, or a thug
hiding in our cities, or a hobo tramping
our roads that some wOman's influence
has not been exhausted on. trying TO
make a good man Of him2
All that any woman san do for man
IS 10 stimulate him She can help him
on the way he IS going. but she cannot
change his course She can accelerate
his pace, but she cannot stop him If a
man isn't going TO aCt the part Of a man
for the sake Of his own manhood, he
isn't gong to DO it for the sake OF any
woman
OF all the arguments used against Civ
ing woman the right 60 vote, the most
untgnabIe and absurd is that woman
doesn't need the ballot because she can
always influence some man to vote the
way she wishes. This isn't true. in the
first place, as every woman knows who
has tried TO persuade a died-in-the-wooI

Gibson caught the greatest ball of any
