EQUAL SUFFRAGE AGITATED
ONLY BY A FEW ZEALOTS
Woman'S EIevating and Refining
Influence Less by Suffrage
FIRST PRIZE

Dear Aunt Laurie:
THINK that woman suffrage is
not desirable for many reasons;
- few of the many l will here dis
cuss 1t may be said that women
should have the same rights as the
men regardless of color or condition
of servitude, as the constitution puts
it. But the matter of suffrage is not a
right but rather a privilege.
If our mothers, sisters and daughters
have never been made our equals po-
litically it is because we loved them
too much. Man was made to protect
and defend. Man and woman are not
alike i'm sentiment. Their natures and
occupations are different The one loves
the home and seeks to make it attrac-
tive: the other to win the battles of
life, to earn a livelihood, to conquer
Instructions and to save for a home.
1t would be ineXpedient for women
to have suffrage. Suffrage would inn
pair the social position of women. Their
elevating and refining influence would
be lessened. They would receive less
respect from men. Suffrage would not
improve the political condition of wo-
men. 1t would secure no rights or
privileges which they cannot otherwise
obtain. Besides women are already
well represented by men. The argu-
men from unjust discrimination Is un-
sound. Women are not Disseminated
against: in many respects they are IA
vored for example in legislation, by
courts and jures Suffrage would not
improve the industrial condition of wo-
men. Women are kept from certain
occupations by conventions which suf-
frage would not affect. The wages of
women are governed by economic laws.
Again. women as a class do not wish
the ballot. The demand for suffrage is
that of a few Zealots. Women as
whole are not anxious to change their
home rights. duties and cares for
share in the government of the world.
They have confidence in the ability OF
their fathers. brothers and husbands
to protect them. as their interests arc
one. Your loving niece,

WoMAN's PLACE AT HOME

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Suffrage is the right TO vote Voting
Is expressing ones opinion in an cleo
tion, and l think it is the right of
every citizen to express his opinion if
ii does not injure the government. as
the public speaking of anarchists does.
l do not think that politics would be
much hetter if the women We're allowed
to vote, because most of them would
vote for the candidate whom their
fathers or husbands voted for.
There are few states in the Union
where women may vote in the state
elections. l believe they are Colorado,
Nevada. Utah and Wyoming. In some
states of the Union women hold offices
in the state legislature.
l think that a woman's place is in
the home. She should do everything
in her power to make her home bright
and happy. so her husband will be con-
tented and find pleasure in staying at
home.
If women were allowed to vote and
be interested in politics they would
neglect their home duties, for politics
together with the other societies would

WOMEN SHOULD HELP RULE

Dear Aunt Laurie:
| think that women should vote Most
women work almost as hard as men
and ttey Should have the same rights
Some people say that although thsrc
are lnelN men who vote WHO do nor
know more about voting than a child
there would still be more ignorant
women to vote.
Another reason is that some men
will come home to find that supper Is
five minutes late because the wife wer {
10 vote They never think that they
probably were the cause of the cold
supper the night they had voted. But
he scolds his wife because she
has not started the supper later
so as to have 1t just ready when he
came home. Does she not have the
same right to vote then and just keep
her supper about five or ten minutes
latel a great many will say, Yes,
they have"
Some probably say that the women
should be the silent voter, but .aat they
sfould be so read upon topics trat
husband will not be afraid - talk
frtc'Cy to her.
| think If women had the right tc
vote & great many would study the
subject of politics so as to kn ~ how
;o vote.
| think that women could help to
put just as good rulers in offices to do
the work that is required of them as
the men do. I do not think women
should do the voting alone, but that
they should take part in the welfare
of their country.

SHOULD WOMEN BE
cLAsSED WITH CRIMINALS?
HONORABLE MENTION

Dear Aunt Laurie:
no I believe in woman's suffrage?
Yes, l most certainly do.
~ Is there really any reason why
woman cannot or should not vote?
Why are we classed with the Indians,
the idiots and the criminals? Men
will allow men who cannot write their
own names and dunkards to vote, yet
they will not give the same privilege
to women. Are the drunkards better
than we?
If you tell a man that men class
drunkards above women, he will pro-
test Immediately, but that is precisely
what they do.
| have heard many men say that
woman's duty is at home and not at
the polls. But if women were ruling
this country instead of men, and
"men's suffrage" was advocated, the
woman could say that mans duty
was to be out earning living for him.
self and his family, If he has one, and
not to be spending his time at the polls.
have heard some women say that
it made them angry to hear any wo-
man say she did not believe in wom-
ans suffrage. But usually the wom-
en- who do not believe in it do not
dare to express their beliefs, because
they do not wish to displease their
husbands, so they are not to be
blamed. Others do not believe in it
because they do not wish to appear
forward But it is better to appear
forward than to allow ones self to be
classed with the criminals and idiots.

her husband goes to vote Why should
she not go with him? She is surely as
competent as he is.
Women have to obey the laws made
by men. Their property is liable to
taxes, and they may be fined or i'm
prisoned just as the men are. In other
words. they have to bear the same bur-
dens, so they should enjoy the same
rights and privileges. Many men are
not even interested in politics. yet
they have the right to vote. Why not
give the many women who are inter
ested a chance to do the same? Let
every woman be the equal of her
brother. Your loving niece,

SUFFRAGE MOVEMENT
STARTED IN YEAR 1s4s
HONORABLE MENTION


Dear Aunt Laurie:
VII HEN 1 see the headlines in a
wv paper "Woman Suffrage" 1
wonder if that woman who has
made the speech has any children at
home, for to accomplish her purpose
she must neglect her home and chill
dren. The mother may provide a
nurse to take care of her children, but
even then they are deprived of the
care and love they should have from
their mother. Therefore, the happiness
and pleasures of those children are
blotted out. They are allowed to grow
up in the streets. When they are men
and women their parents are ashamed
to own them as their children. Who
is to blame for this?
The husband is also to be considered.
His views of politics may be entirely
different from those of the wife and in
all probability there is a political dis
turbance in the family One harsh
word brings ON another, until in the
end they lose all love for each other.
Man is the bread winner. and the
duty of the wife is to keep up the
homemade it cheerful for the hus-
band on his return from his employ
ment. At the same time she is making
happy home for her children, and
they know then what mothers love
and care are.
The equal suffrage movement was
started i'm the United States about the
year 1S4S. Since it was started so long
ago. why are they not voting today2
If il was the right and proper thing
for women to vote they would be yot-
ing today. A woman would not be
willing at all to step into her hus-
bands shoes and do his work. l there
fore am opposed to woman suffrage.

MEN DO NOT GOVERN VERY WELL

Dear Aunt Laurie:
am in favor of woman suffrage be-
cause l think that it is no more than
right Why shouldn't woman vote
just as well as a man? II is not right
to keep the women at home doing the
housework all the time. Let them
have political freedom and vote and
if they are capable of being the presi-
dent of the United States or a gover-
nor or any other such position it is
perfectly just that they should.
The men are not managing our gov
ernment anything extra. It's usually
the men who are the grafters, so why
not let the women control the govern
ment for while? Give them a chance
and see what they will do. They cer-
tainly cannot make any worse blum
ders than some of the men have done.
Women are more economical than the
men. The government expenses would
not be so heavy If women were in
office, and there is every reason to
believe that taxes wouldn't be so high,
because they would put the peoples
money to a better advantage than the
men do. The men usually try to
scheme and get a big pile for their
own pockets.
A man sits in his office ali day and
when business is duh usually smokes
a cigar and enjoys himself while his
wife is home busy doing the house
work and having a hard time taking
care of the children. He comes home
at night and if everything doesn't so
just so, or If supper isn't ready he is
cross and cranky. In such a case just
let the women take the office job and

WOMEN SHOULD ATTEND
TO THEIR HOME DUTIES

Dear Aunt Laurie:
l suppose If / should be given the
chance to vote I probably would think
it fine, but yet | don't think that 1t
would be the right thing for the aver
age woman.
In some cases, however. it is entirely
proper for women to vote. For in
stance, Mrs. Smith has some lands and
is widow. She has no voice whatever
as to the way taxes are laid. That is
the same principle as our forefathers
fought against, taxation without rep
resentatiOn."
different The mothers mission is to
raise her family in the right wey. max
ing the home bright and happy for
children and husband.
Some women say, There are some
men who don't know as much as
about voting" Yes, that's true i'm
some cases. but it is no reason for
women to make a larger class OF the
kind who will vote for a little money.
or those who vote wrong because of
ignorance.
When woman votes she will lose
her refinement and become more mas
culine. The men will soon neglect the
little courteses now shown women
when they see them mingling among
them at the polls.
It's hard to tell whether the women
should vote or not. l think, though.
that If we wish to have our future
citizens brought up in homes and not
in the streets women should not have
the right to vote.

SHOULD BE EQUALLY cLAssED

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Woman suffrage is a most important
and interesting topic. 1 believe that
women should be on an equal basis
with men, politically as well as So
cially. The women of the world do
as much work as the men, yet they
have no right to say how they shall
be governed, or what laws they may
have. but must leave that to the men.
In many families the wife makes the
living by washing or sewing, while her
husband is in some saloon or gambling
den spending her money as fast as she
can earn it. But when election day
comes he goes to vote for this to con-
tinue while she goes to work.
Again, in many households the hus-
band and wife are both wage earners.
They are on an equal basis as far as
finances are concerned, every day of
the year until election day. Then the
wife is classed with idiots and crimi-
mails, and has to remain at home while

And sadder still at eve
Did he to earth descend;
His hopes did not deceive
And had untimely end.
Until one dawn Of spring
He CHANGED in his mad flight
One glance at earth to fling,
Then sank with great delight.
For there lay to his view
AS rival to the sky
A field of dazzling blue
And he had passed It byl
The meadow all was spread
With violets sweet and shy!
The lark just bowed his he'd
And scared no more so high.

The lark rose up at morn:
All husky was his throat;
Poor birdie, too forlorn
To sing a single note.
He slowly upward flew
And never paused to look
In soaring to the blue
At meadow, hill or brook
For he was keenly bent
On flying to the sky
He could not rest content
With flights not quite so high.
So each and every morn,
Our little songster SWEET
All restless, sad and lorn,
Uprose the sun to greet.
