MAN, POOR, MAN.
Sits On The Fence Afraid Of Suffragists
and Ants.
(Communicated.)

communicated
| To the Editor:
/ see in one of the daily papers
President Taft is saying that women
will get the suffrage as soon as they
really want it. He is right. When
all the women that think they want
the ballot gain enough courage to say
so, we will succeed.
How much there is self-will would
do,
Were It not for the dire dismay---
That bids We shrink, as We suddenly
think
OF what will my neighbor say. -
The respect man has for woman
is not a matter of suffragists or
anti-suffragists, but the respect they
have for themselves. "Self-respect
is the cornerstone of all virtue. -
If they have that they will respect all
women, from a queen to a washer
woman. The would-be funny man will
soon get tired of saying "stand up
and take it like a man." we had
better stand up in the street cars and
take it like a man, than stand what
some poor women are taking all over
this land.
Governor Shafroth, of Colorado, said
a hundred men in Denver would get
up to give their seats to women, where
we would see one in New York. As
for the firemen's joke, don't think
the women would do much worse than
a male fireman in this very town. He
threw looking glass out Of the win
dow and brought window shutter
down in his arms. had the pleasure
of seeing a woman taking mattress
from her burning home, while the
man followed on behind with wash
bowl and pitcher. ] think myself, |
would rather go with that fat blonde
policeman than what is generally
supposed to be the male type (big red
nose and big feet.)
The anti-suffragist might think they
stand a better chance of getting a
husband; it is poor woman that has
to go back on her sex to gain, or
keep a husband.
With everybody bowling about the
susceptibility of man, l don't see
why any woman with adaptability
and brain could not in the course Of
life time, get five or six husbands
if she so desired without the assist
ance of false hair and hobble skirts.)
Il have a nice wife that thinks home
is the best" is very tame excuse,
and sounds like reciting a piece, we
have heard so much of it. Looks like
they are on the fence, afraid to come
down on one side for fear the suffra-
gists will get them, on the other side
the antisuffragists will get them.
There they sit on the fence with the
humiliating knowledge they tried to
hide behind their wife. The world is
in need of nothing so much as men
and women with a little courage.
Let US have faith that right makes
might, and in that faith let US to the
end dare to do our duty as we under
stand it.

Opposition Exaggerated.

I venture to think that there is much
less real opposition to reciprocity
than has been represented in Wash
ington for the purpose of influencing
votes in both houses. am very hope
full that the bill will pass the senate
and when it does pass and has been
agreed upon by the Canadian parlia :
ment, it's actual operation will be so
beneficial to both countries that the
arguments against its adoption will be
forgotten or will only be remembered
as exaggerated instance Of magma
ton. say this because l have exam
ined the arguments and compared
them with the actual statistics and
also because of similar experiences
that the people of the United States
have had in respect to the adoption OF
partial reciprocity with Cuba and Of
complete reciprocity with Porto Rico
and the Philippines.
Under reciprocity with Cuba, which
reduced the duties on each side TWEEN
ty per cent, our trade with that coun-
try has doubled. Under complete reci-
|procity, or free trade with Porto Rico
|our trade with that island has in
creased nearly fifteen times; under
reciprocity relations with the Philip
nearly doubled in less than year. and
vet In the case of each Of these
changes, there was vehement discus
sion, bitter opposition, and wild proph-
ecies of disastrous results.
For ten years engaged in the
struggle for Philippine free trade, and
for ten years I was regarded as the
enemy of the agricultural interests of
this county engaged in the raising OF
beet and cane sugar, and vet since the
adoption Of thu Payne tariff bill which
extended free trade to the Philippines
/ have not heard single complaint as
to the effect of that feature of the
Payne tariff bill.
careful analysis of the arguments
pro and con over the Canadian reel
procity agreement will convince an,
fair minded economist who is well in
formed as to conditions in both coun-
tries. that six months after the agree
ment is adopted, there will be no com
plant from any quarter.
