be only about SO. 600 gallons, and the
supply afforded by the lake in it's
present condition. without raising
the level, is ample to meet this de-
maEd. For domestic use only the
average daily water consumption per
capita is only eight gallons. and it
is less than that Ia small towns and
sparsely settled communities where
wells and springs are the chief sources
of supply.
1t is yet to be determined by anal
ysis whether the Trout lake water is
sufficiently pure for domestic use.
There is, of course. a considerable
amount of vegetable matter in the
lake but it is not considered at all
likely that the water contains lmpur-
tiles that proper filtration would not
remove. Mr.. Tibbals took away With
him jug full of water obtained from

Does Not Believe
In Woman Suffrage

Editor Islander:
A week ago the islander published
twenty reasons why women should be
enfranchised. We hand you for pub
licatton just one little reason why
the pending suffrage amendment
should not carry.
Equality of rights is, of course.
the ideal toward which We should all
work. Every right has correspond
ing responsibility. Morally and log
ically these both fall to the same
person. but legally they sometimes
do not. Not all women are married,
but they are all liable. at least to
become so. aid after the process. the
woman may retain the rights. but the
responsibilities are transferred to the
husband. That is how be becomes
her ether and worser half. And IL
he does not meet them ''like little
man." she can "maKe the fur fly''
to her heart content: and he either
pays to the extent of his learning
capaclty"or goes to the penitentiary
for having failed to support even q
worthless trollop."
Of course. it doesn't sound right
to classify women with lunatics, idi-
OTIS and criminals, but is it not strict
ly in accordance with Bacon's indu-
ctive philosophy to classify them as ir-
responsibles? And if man must bear
the responsibility for the way things
20. should not he have the ultimate
right to say how they should go?
Now, women are by nature just as
good and intelligent. just as capable
of reasoning. and just as willing to
do their part as men are, and many
of them act, at least part OF the
time, In accordance with this. But
it Is law of human nature that 'tan
irresponsible brain is the DEVILS
work shop" When lawmakers and
judges undertake to enforce gallantry
instead of establishing Justice, they
may have aoad intentions, but arss,
sadly lacking in perspective. Max
ing woman irresponsible does not add
to her dignity nor does it tend to pro-
mote her domestic felicity. In this
state it is next to crime to be q hus-
band. Washington leads the world
in woman's irresponsibility and at
the same time there are more divorces
here than anywhere else. Is there no
connection between these two? Dur
ing the last few decades woman has
come into her rights at wonderful
rate, even without her asking: but
when we look at the corresponding
bllities, the progress has been
the other way. And now We are asked
to amend the constitution to give her
the ballot. Where, according to the
will the responsibility OF
her voting fall? If she votes that
every wife must have new twenty
seven dollar hat every month who
pays for the hats? One of the twenty
is that her voting will
stimulate her sense of responsibility.
But there IL not a word in the amend
ment about responsibility. And If it
carries it will simply be another stim-
ulant for "mere man.
