Dorothy Dix On s' Why Believe Believe In

/ fously corrupt men an impossibiiity
! when women are given the right TO
vote.
I believe that women, who make up
the congregations in churches, who
run the hospitals and philanthropies,
and who are the mainstay OF every
movement that has the lettering of
great power for Righteousness in civic
life
] believe that one Of the most bene-
fetal effects of giving women the
franchise will be that they will quick
en- the civic conscience Of men, and
that just as a devout woman now
takes her good but indifferent hus-
band to church with her, the woman
with the responsibilities Of citizenship
heavy on her shoulders, will take her
husband with her to the polling booth
and thus two votes will be cast for
good government where only too fire.
quently none at all is cast now.
believe that the minute women
get the right 70 vote we will be done
with child labor, and that far better
laws will be passed for the protec-
ton OF the working women and to
safeguard young girls. In every case
where law has been passed raising
the age of consent for young girls
OF the state behind 1t.
Increase Intelligence
I believe that the moral effect Of
having responsibility Of citizenship
laid upon them will give an enormous
impetus to developing the character OF
the women themselves; that It viii
make them bigger, broader, more IN
tel1igent and that it cannot but be
beneficial for the mothers of the race
TO spend more time In studying the
science OF government, and less on the
science Of bridge whist
believe that the influence Of moth
ers over their sons and Of women over
men generally will be enormously IN
creased by giving women the ballot
boy cannot help but despise the judg-
ment Of his mother when he knows
that the law classes her in the same
category with idiots, the criminal. and
the insane. and keeps her a perpetual
minor Nor can a man really hold IN
reverence the woman he also holds as
a chattel.
believe that the best and only eff
fectfve trust busters will be the
woman voter. Put the ballot in the
hand of the woman who daily finds
meat and bread for the hungry brood.
money buys less and less milk and
meat, and bread 10 rtha hungry brood,
and she will find some way to curb
the rapacity of the great corporations

a CORRESPONDENT asks me Why
~ l believe in giving women the
ballot, and what good it will ac-
complish to grant women the right 10
vote.
IbeIieve that women should be
given the right of suffrage:
Because taxation without representa-
tion is tyranny.
Because all just government must
rest upon the consent OF the governed.
Becaus, arerica. can never be a real
democracy until all of It's people,
whether male or female. participate
equally in the government.
Because 1t is eminently unjust that
one half Of the people should be iuIed
by the other half, simply because ono
leif is mae and tt e other hale is
female.
Because the accident of sex should
not be made woman's shame, and
place the nob1est and most intelligent
woman in the same class as the most
degraded man.
Because no man can any more rep
resent a woman at the polls than he
can in a millinery shop.
Because men and women are not
alike In strength or mentality. They
have different needs and need differ
ent representation in the government
Because there are six million wage
earning women in the United States.
and these women have vital need for
a voice in determining the conditions
under which they work and for their
own protection.
Because the class that furnishes
three fourths of the high school grad
yates, and only percent of the GRIM
inaIs will make desirable citizens.
Present Government Unjust.
Because just as 1t takes a man and
with every faculty of heart. and head
brought into play, to make the ideal
home. so 1T Will take men and women
working together, side by side, giving
the best of both masculine and femin-
inc qualities, to make the ideal country.
A solely masculine, or feminine worio
is unthinkable A solely masculine gov
eminent is iniquitiously unjust
believe:
That woman will have the same eff
feet upon politics that she has upon
society. that she will elevate it. purify
it. humanize it. The very first result
of wosnan's suffrage in Colorado was to
take the primaries and the voting
places out of the back rooms OF saloons
into the school houses and churches
and to remove the polling booths from
bootblacking establishments and such
places TO respectable quarters.
believe that the very fact that
woman's range of vision is largely per-
sonal. and that she will probably look
at the man more intently than she
does at the issue, will make for the
putting up Of some clean candidates for
office. and make the election Of motor

All of which leads to the query Does

CATHOLICS ARE COOPERATING
FOR WORLDWIDE PEACE

Catholic bishops. clergy and fedora
tons Of laymen are gratified with the
letter Of pope Plus to Mgr. Falconio,
apostolic delegate at Washington, upon
the subject of worldwide peace. Most
declarations of Catholic laymen had al

will, it is said, recognize in its resolu-
lions the recommendations OF the pope
and pledge cooperation with president

Through the initiative of cardinal
Moran, OF Sydney the promotion of
peace already forms part of the Cath
Ollie movement in Australia. Protestants
who are furthering cooperation between
ministers and prominent laymen of Ger

the stand taken by the pope, and look

this fall, when further cementing of

THE LIQUOR CATECHIsM-x.
Editor e. Paso Herald:
Questions 10, 112 and lis and an
swers. OF the liquor catechism, read:
ITO Is there a prohibition ma
ton in the world? Yes: Turkey,
India and China are prohibition
nations They prohibit absolutely
the use of alcohol They are inf
dels, practice poiygany, ridicuie
the bible and claim that Christ
was an imposter."
.112- Do the Turks, Chinese and
Mohammedans use any substitute
for alcoholic nquors2 Yes; they
use opium, hashish. and other
stimulating drugs twice as dan
porous and much more harmful"
"115- Has any white nation
ever adopted prohibition? No:
only the brown and yellow ma
tons"
The character which the catechism
gives 10 those people and the prac-
tees charged to them are explanation
enough of the poverty, vice and crime
which is said to abound among them.
If such people prohibit the use Of
alcohol. why should a Christian nation
drink it?
The catechism would leave the i'm
preston that the brown and yellow
races prohibit alcohol only. The Chris
tiaa nations prohibit the opium traf-
&c. Recently. China has awakened on
that matter and is now proceeding by
royal edicts TO prohibit it also. 1t is
the great curse of the east as alcohol
is Of the west
If heather China prohibits both Of
these curses why should Christian
America do less?

benefits of prohibition where II

In the Il states of the union which

look for evidence elsewhere.
The liquor traffic measures in dol

lieye that any organization can or does

Question III and answer read:
FIT If statewide and national
prohibition is such a desirable con-
dition and If it only exists in the
nations Of the yellow and brown
people who worship Mohammed.
Confucius and Buddha. why do our
Christian churches spend yearly
many millions of dollars to change
the religion and to destroy the
church which teaches prohibition?
Because prohibition is a political
and not moral question and 1t
is not within the province OF the
church to deal with prohibition
The Christian religion has much to
give to non-Christian nations which
viii lift them to higher plans Of life.
1t is the special province of the church
to deal with prohibition of all forms
of evil. That is one of its fundamental
and natural functions The thou
shalt-not's of Gods commands rest
with peculiar obligation on the church.
A question which is Inherently and
fundamentally moral IN its character
cannot be changed into an exclusively
political one by Juggling with words.
The liquor traffic may well fear the
church and strive to keep it out of the
issue But that fear and effort are
futile.
The church is the natural, powerful
and everlasting foe of the liquor
traffic.

AMERICANS TO STUDY
THE FAR EASTERNERs

Methodists of the Pacific coast,
through their university OF Southern
California at Los Angeles, the. Rev Dr.
G. F. Bovard, president, have attacked
the oriental problem as it now affects
the coast and is certain to affect this
country. In the university there has
been founded an oriental department to
teach American students the ideas and
ideals of the orient. Methodists argue
that the question consists Of much more
than the finding out of oriental Gus
toms and the application to them of
American Ideas
They affirm THAI there are in Japan
and China many things that American
civilization may well absorb, even fol-
low. At the head of the new department
has been placed professor J. NJ. Dixon
a well known orientalist. and associ-
ated with him are heads Of Chinese
and Japanese missions in San Fran
cisco.
