SUFFRAGE NOTES

The executive comri-tee of the
Shawnee County Equal Suffrage asso-
citation will have a meeting Monday
to decide upon a date and other ar
rangements for large county meet
ing for township and local organiza-
tions.
'It is said that if women vote they
ought to fight and do police duty If
no men were allowed to vote except
those who are able or willing to do
military or police service women
might consistently be debarred for that
reason. By a comic facility, this rea-
son is almost always urged by some
man who could not fight, some cor
pulent gentleman who would expire
under five mile march, and I have
heard it used by one man who has
been stone blind since his birth. 1t
is said that we have to Iegislate for
classes and not for individuals. But
there are large classes OF men who are
disqualified to fight, yet who vote. OF
the young men who volunteered for
the Spanish war, over half were re-
jected as unfit for military service
Statistics show that the professional
men, as a class, cannot carry arms,
and that the laboring class. almost to
a man, are physically able to render
military service. Does II, therefore,
follow that suffrage ought to be taken
away from professional men. and lin
tied to unskilled laborers2
AS for police service out of those
who volunteer and come up to the
prescribed requireme ents OF strength
weight, etc, a sufficient number are
hired, and they are paia out of the
tax money which is levied on the prop
erty of men and women alike. Worl-
en- contribute to the policing of the
country in just the same way that
the majority of men do-that is, they
help to pay for it.
Again, if women do not fight, they
give to the country all her soldiers
Some woman risks her life whenever
a soldier is born into the world For
years she does picket duty beside his
cradle, and is his quartermaster. and
gathers his rations, and Il is a towards
argument. if when that boy grows to
be a man, he insists that his mother
cannot vote until she first goes and
kills somebody.
Either the ability to fight is a nee
essary qualification for suffrage. or it
Is not. If it is, the men who lack il
ought to be excluded If it is not. the
lack of 1t is no reason for excluding
the women. The best fighters, men
between Is and 21, are not allowed
TO vote. The best voters, men over as.
are not allowed to fight, ssld moreover.
there is not the remotest relation be-
tween casting a ballot and firing a

Men have risen to the level where they
find clever women more interesting,
and to be toy is to be lost. Ty-
rants? Modern transportation re-
moves men quickly from annoyance.
Treachery? Deception is a worn-out
weapon and beneath the woman of
today. All of the weapol's that wom-
an, somewhat because of her nature
and somewhat because # physical
weakness, has had to uSe, are now
more or less useless ard women are
thrown out into the ocean Of life to
sink or swim just as men are. They
do not object to that and only ask
that they be freed, and not always
pushed aside IN the struggle. Taxes
know no sex; work, pain, sickness,
starvation, death, know no sex. and
only in the making Of laws is there
any sex distinction. Why? It is not
lack of intellect, nor lack of balance;
she is a fairly poised being, we'll tried
in endurance, conscientious. moral
Men say she will lose her privileges,
but what are those privi' eyes? Wom-
en- have now decided that it is for the
best good Of humanity that they have
the ballot. Their sons will respect
them more, and their daughters will
be more self-respecting. In oppos-
ing woman, men do not realize that
they are opposing a being who for
ages has endured hardships, toll, ridi-
cule, contempt; being who has been
subjected to every peril, vi has Suf-
fered many bitternesses worse than
death, who has been familiar with
many deaths. and such a being it is
impossible to conquer. What she may
forego for herself, she Will never fore
go for her children. Through her
whole struggle for existence her chill
dren have been her strength and her
weakness; her weakness. in that they
handicapped her physically; her
strength, in that for their sakes, her
strength was as the strength of ten.' -

gagement at Columbia university in

peared IN Topeka ten years ago soon

occasion. The other grand opera com
