Why Women Should Have Elective Franchise
BY H. WETTSTEIN
with Extracts from THE TElEo-MEcHANcs Or NATURE)

! Mclean, vile OI the OWueT VI LllC
Washington Post, said: i believe
that women should be allowed to
vote on all matters PERTAINING to
the home and the welfare of the
children. | think also that those
women who want to vote on all sub
jects should be allowed to do So"
What question in political econ
omy does not relate more or less
directly to the home and family?
For their protection all govern
ments were primarily instituted.
What sense or justice is there in
denying to those who are by
Nature specially adapted to the
rearing of families, a voice in the
government?
Mrs. Duncan Fletcher, wife OF
| the senator from Florida said: 1
believe in woman's suffrage, for |
am convinced that the time has
arrived when women will either
have to stand still or advance. If
we have a right to vote we can
regulate the compensation paid to
women for the same work as men. ;"
The fact that they are NOT paid
the same is evidence that they were
deprived of the right to vote from
purely selfish motives and if the
physical-disability argument" we're
valid one, then should fifty per
cent of the male voters be disfran-
chised Mrs. Fletcher also believes
that equal suffrage will promote
the progress of women, which
would, of course, mean the advance
ment of the whole human race.
Madame Guide, wife of the Nor
wegian minister, whose step-daugh-
tiers are active members of the Wo-
mans Suffrage League of Norway,
said, Il admire your American wo-
men and think they are going the
right way to obtain their rights.
Mrs. julius C. Burrows, of Michi-
gan: Il believe that women have a
right to vote. Because some of us
are sheltered and cared for and do
not need to vote is no reason why
we should be careless of the needs
of less fortunate women"
This is a well deserved rebuke to
those women who, revelling in
wealth and luxury, care nothing for
the needs of their less fortunate sis
tiers.
Mrs. Arthur W. Kopp, wife of a
Wisconsin Representative: Women
should have the right to vote, and
they will get that right if they keep
up the fight long enough"
Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Longworth,
wife of the Ohio Representative, is
willing to have it announced that
she believes in woman's suffrage
and is working for that end.
Miss Mary D. Temple. of Tennes-
see, asserts that We are the most
thriftless and wasteful people in the
world, and if women had a right to
vote we could find some way to
stop this, especially in the South"
Miss Temple probably refers to
the fact, not generally realized here,
that in tire old country economy is
regarded as virtue of the highest
order, while here it is considered, as
rule, synonymous with parSimony.
Never having learnt to economic,
the poverty of the poorer classes is,
in most cases, entirely due to their
wastefulness. If women had a
right to take an active part in our
government, the more sensible ones
would move to add ECONOMY in all
its branches to the curriculum OF
our schools.

Continued from Saturdays issue)

Mrs. LaFetra, a philantrophist
much interested in missionary and
other good work: Many women in
this country are public-spirited and
feel that they would like to better
the corrupt conditions of politics.
| am sure that when women get
the franchise there will be many
reforms which will make living and
the cost of living easier for the
masses. The majority of women
have a stricter sense of justice
than men"
Mrs. E. L. Hamilton, wife of
Senator from Michigan: If all the
women want to vote | don't see
why they should not. AS for my
Self, | am not worried about it"
(She probably lives On "Easy-street."
H. W.
Mrs. Albert Clifford Barney, one
of the wealthiest and most philan-
thropic women in Washington
said: Women should have a
voice in the government, because
the rearing of a family is a vital
matter with them. Women all
over the world are becoming more
and more independent. Look at
Persia which is just beginning to
see the light. 1t was not until its
women endeavored to become indie
pendent that Persia began to take
its place among Nations. Let the
women vote, then we will have
Just laws and ample protection for
the family and children. 1t is GER
tain that men do not know how to
run this country, OF else IN this
time of plenty there would not be
so many starving in the cities. In
a country as rich as ours there
should be no such thing as people
being hungry and shelterlesS. Let
women vote for humanity'S sake ="
The apathy of the poor and
fairIy-well-to-do middle classes is
responsible for this state of affairs.
Let the women arouse them from
their lethargy by taking an active
part in politics themselves and we
will then approach the Millennium
much faster than we do now.
Mrs. George M. Sternberg, wife of
the former surgeon-general OF the
United States army said: 1t is
the duty of every woman in this
country to endeavOr to improve
home conditions No country can
be truly great without these en-
deavors. The vote is surely COM
ing to us, but we want it, the sooner
the better for all concerned"
Mrs Mary L. Lockwood, g founder
of the Daughters of The American
Revolution: The women of this
country have as much cause for
rising in rebellion against being de-
prived of their rights as did our
forefathers of the revolution. 1t is
a direct violation of the Constitu-
ton of the United states to deprive
women the right to vote, especially
as they are taxed"
Under the provision that there
shall be no taxation without repre-
sentation" women are entitled to
the elective franchise same as
males, sex not being specified in
the Constitution as a qualification
for such right, and only through its
exercise can women secure repre-
sentation. To make them support
the government and deny them
a voice in its management, violates
both the letter and spirit of the law
and can be characterized only as a
totally injustifable robbery Of
their legal rights. Mrs. John R.
