WASHINGTON MEN ENTER DEBATE ON
SUFFRAGE WITH STRONG APPEALS

Editors note: The following argu-
ments, presented by two Washington
men. are in total sympathy with votes for
women. Do you favor equal political
rights? You are invited to submit your
view of the matter.)
'In regard to women having the right
to vote:
Women would have been given the
franchise, well, say twenty-five years ago,
had they not allied themselves with the
party to abolish slavery, and taken up
the temperance cause In the United
States, and there would not have been
raised this question as to whether the
women OF our country, who have stood
shoulder to shoulder in the midst Of our
hardest fights for liberty with our men
should be denied this birthright. The
liquor trust (mightier in strength and
wealth than either the Standard Oil Com
pany or the tobacco trust, and one which
has impoverished and ruined more homes
than all the other interests put together)
have been their greatest enemy. fighting
them never openly. but in the dark, rails
ing all sorts of arguments, and even pay
ing large sums to newspapers and other
periodicals to stir up public opinion
against them.
The insight that women have shown
into the problems which men do not and
perhaps never with understand has shown
me not only that women should have the
ballot, but that we need them TO have It
This is especially the case in movements
which we have tried to solve, the social,
economic, and political problems that
have presented themselves from time to
time. Year after year these problems be-
come more difficult and complx.
Help II Needed.
TN their solution we must look to the
many, not 10 the few. We need all the
people, women as much as men. In
solving them we must have, not a part
Of society, but the whole. 1t is to the
noble women OF our country that we can
look for solution and success in these
problems. Just as our women have un-
selnshly devoted themselves to the maxi
ing Of the individual home, just SO un-
selfishIy do we need them now to labor
for the welfare of the larger human
family. This work may be very disagree

Further, II the woman has the ballot

she in the slightest degree unsex herself

BY ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.

There are commercially strict laws, in
our land against the indiscrimina&s car
rying of deadly weapons
Children and youths are restricted In
their use Of pistols and knives.
To purchase poisons requires q physi-
clans prescription or personal identinca-
tion. But there is a deadly weapon which
5eopardizes the health, reason, and mo-
rality Of young and old, yet which seems
to be as easily procured Of any druggist
by any youth, girl, or stranger, as q
box Of chocolate drops or glass Of
coda.
This more than deadly instrument Il
the hypodermic needle.
It is a surgeons instrument and Of
great value in the hands Of skilled spe-
ciaIists. It often relieves otherwise un-
bearable agonies of the sick and dying.
But even in the hands Of the doctor
It is menace to the health and absolute
reason Of patients unless the mind Of the
physician is well poised and his sense
of responsibility fully awake.
But how terrible becomes this deli
cate and inexpensive weapon when 1t
falls into the possession Of a weak
willed youth or a young girl, or a de-
spondent man or woman. who has be-
come discouraged by illness or sorrow or
misfortune, and seeks temporary relief
from mental or physical pain through the
needle point!
The result is far worse than sudden
or early death; for the loss of the phys
ical body must eventually come in the
process of the abolition of the soul to
other planes. But the loss Of the viii

| Before me lies a letter, signed IAN
Orphan" asking my advice in a most
unfortunate affair OF the heart.
Il have become very much infatuated
with a married man and have been
keeping company with him for about a
year. His wife knows of my going with
him and has caused trouble for US both.
| Il don't feel that 1 am doing her an
/ injustice, as her husband supports her,
| although she cares nothing for him,
! while love him and know that he loves
me-"
The request was made for an answer
to this letter in The Herald's Page for
Every Woman, and since a somewhat
| similar request has come to me before
| this 1 am glad to tell this dear mother
less girl that she is tasting Of a dead sea
fruit that will turn all her life into
the very dregs of bitterness.
What Can 1t Profit HerP
What can any young woman hope to
gain through so close a friendship with
a married man, even If we look at the
matter from a purely practical stand
point?
She Is wasting her youth in a love
that cannot result in marriage; that can
happiness Of the moment; that robs her
Of the chance to meet and associate
with men who might love her, and touch
the vital heart string that would cause
her to respond to his love.
Outside OF the emptiness Of the future
Of such a love, any girl may let this
certain truth sink down into her heart:
The man who is unfaIthfuI to the
woman who IL his wife, his home
maker, his legal helpmeet, and per-
hapa the mother of his children,
will be true to no other woman in
the world.
1t is following but a will-o-the wisp
dream to believe in the stability Of such
love.
Remember that he loved the woman he
married when the marriage occurred even
as he loves some one else now, perhaps.
II he has tired OF her he will in turn
tire Of any other woman. If he has not
enough respect for his wife, his home,
and his own manhood to hold his mar
riage VOWS inviolate, he can respect no
other good thing in life.
It is not a difficult matter for an ex-
perienced man to win from an inexperi-
enced girl faith in the stories he tells
her of his marital infelicities: to make
her believe the tale of his love for her
IS a roseate dream which will not fade,
as the other love has done, with the
breaking Of the wedding day.
The fact that he continues to support

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
IS A DEAD SEA FRUIT
By JULIA CHANDLER MANI.

his wife should not be balm to the con-
science of a girl who has won from this
other woman everything that she holds
million times more precious than this
mans financial support.
Can girl weigh a womans honor and
the purity Of her home against dollars
and cents?
Can all the money a husband might
give toward the creature comforts Of his
wife compensate to her for the faith he
has broken?
This motherless girl reminds mo that
his wife does not love him." and ask
her how does she know?
Can she pluck the wife's heart from
her bosom and read its story?
This alone would enable her to under
stand, for she cannot tell by outward
signs which may be but pride stuns
to an outward indifference.
The wife Of a faithless husband does
not wear her emotions on her sleeve that
the world may run and read.
The deeper the hurt, tho stronger the
instinct to conceal It, and certainly no
other woman can truthfully say that
''she does not care"
Every woman with a shred Of seif-rO
spect cares that she has lost the love
OF her husband! Cares that another
woman has robbed her home OF its honor
and its peace.
And even If this were not the case-if
she could be so unwomanly as to feel
actual indifference-her attitude could
not effect that fact that the girl who
loves her husband can reap only tares
from the harvest Of illegitimate love.
Good Cannot Come of Evil.
The laws OF society are based on the
laws of nature and God-given instruc-
tions handed down to man through all
ages for the government OF his life.
For the individual to defy them Is but
the crushing out Of a single atom against
the impenetrable stone wall of mighty
right
Life Is very beautiful to the girl
who loves wisely.
1t can be but q hideous nightmare
unto the very end to the woman
who snatches her own happiness
from the cup of anOther's peace
and joy and right.
The happiness into which we step over
the crushed life Of fellow-being turns
into the very shadow of moral death be-
fore life has advanced for us far enough
to make us feel even a temporary COM
pensation.
For God has willed that We must pay
the price of our own misdeeds.
