sex AND PUNISHMENT.

Ever since the ballot was given to
women by the people Of several states
there have been outcroppings of the
idea that women should be held to a
stricter account for offenses against
the law than before this new ''honor"
of suffrage was conferred upon them.
There seem to be many who believe
that by being made voters women
have been dragged down from po-
sition of superiority to one of mere
equality with men and should there
fore be punished just as severely as
men when found to have violated the
law.
For instance, prospective juror
in celebrated murder trial in Colo
RADIO, where women enjoy the ballot,
remarked that since women are allow
ed to vote it is proper now to hang
them for proved murder. In Califor-
MIA, which only recently conferred the
suffrage privileges upon women, a
judge went quite distance out Of his
way to vent his spleen at the new
order OF things. A wealthy society
woman was charged with exceeding
the speed law, and upon being found
guilty the judge delivered a more
or less impressive harrangue to the
general effect that if the lady in ques-
ton had not been granted the right
to vote the court would have let her
go with reprimand, but that since
she had become automatically voter
and citizen, on the same plane with
! men before the law, he would have to
fine her.
All Of which is merely cheap spite
fulness. There is no sane reason
why woman who is voter should
be treated any more leniently or any
more harshly than one upon whom
that privilege has not been conferred
Women are amenable to all the civil
and criminal laws of the nation and
the state, in general terms, entirely
regardless of their right to vote or
the lack of such right. The advisa-
bility of woman suffrage may be a
subject of honest difference of opin-
ion, but that comforting the ballot on
women relieves men from the neces-
sity of treating women with as much
chivalry as ever cannot be admitted
even by those who honestly believe
women should confine their activities
to the home and other departments
Of her sphere"
The man who seeks an excuse for
withholding from women the protec-
tion to which her sex and not her
civil condition entities her is a rather
poor sort of a man and somewhat
Indifferent citizen. In fact, one might
suggest that it is largely such men
and such citizens who have convinced
the people of several states of the Un-
ion that the voters ought not to be
confined to the representatives of one
sex.
