hensihle TO the average poor woman, and
though she may be bullied by a drunken
husband and crushed almost to death by
hard work, the franchise is the very last
thing she thinks of as a means of de-
liverance.
To sum up: Women do not get the
vote in England because they do not
want il. They will get it as soon as
they can show that they really want il.
Therefore, the suffragettes must devote
more time to making converts and less
time to breaking windows and slappins
policemen.
They will not make many converts bv
preaching 'in subjection'' and the "citf-
zenship" ideal. They must alter their
tactics and their battle cry, alter them
thoroughly and speedily, and the only
way for the English woman to sue
ceed in obtaining the vote is to abolish
altogether the ''anti-man' element for
their propaganda.
With all his faults. woman loves man
far too well to help in a movement that
makes him out to be her enemy. IT NAV
be bitter pill for the suffragettes to
swallow, but it is certain that ..yotes for
women campaigns never will succeed,
with womanly women until all idea of
equality" with men has been abolished.
Man and woman never can be equal, for
the simple reason that nature itself has
ordained that they should belong 70 diff
ferents spheres and because both are
equally great in their own different way.
The vote will come when the sufYragettes
learn that they must work with men and
not against them.
Those women who are clamoring for the
onh 1,a;-
ters that there are many things affecting
women which women alone should attend
to; but as for attacking the "mere male
az for talking equality. why. it won't do.
Were all women to become masculine to-
morrow they would be denied the love
Of all good men, and then where would
they all be, even with the consolation of
fifty votes each. IL they had lost that
which at the bottom Of their hearts they
prize above all else-the love Of a true
man?
