The suffragette Side.

Mr. Editor: In The Bulletin of to- day (June III under the heading, Reasons for Opposing Suffrage to Wo- men," are given some of the so-called arguments of the anti i-suffragists. Some uf the points raised are well covered in this an article in WOmau's Journal, of recent date:
 Tn regard to Plank 1-The major ity of women do not wish te vote
 Which is 'unwiser unfairer and un- juster'-to give the franchise to those public spirited citizens who want 1t. without compelling anybody to vote who has conscientious scruples against it-or forcibly to prevent the former from voting because the latter are like dogs in the manger2
 Plank 2-'We find no evidence in the states where women vote that they have contributed anything to the gen. eral welfare which has not been dupli- cated in other states It really would Se interesting to know who We in the anti platform are, and whether they perchance went down into the Atlantic ocean in diving bells to find evidence about the results of equal suffrage They certainly didn't go where sui frage is in operation.
 Plank S-'The payment of taxes and the right to vote have no connection whatever According to our revolu- tionary forefathers, citizens who pay taxes are entitled to representation in the government. All inhabitants ot country pay taxes.
 Plank 4-'Women lack the physica ability to exercise the franchise or the same terms as men What does | this mean? We find no evidence tha this plank is not a joke, except that Oul sisters have never made one before. | Plank 5-.It is d mistake to pre- sume that all women will vote righ on moral issues. Who is making thi! | lave ever before them the spectacl. 1 every vicious element i'll the commun ! ity in opposing the cOnferring of self | government and political power upo' | supporting women

 Tr. Editor. do you think she could sa, | that without a smile al it's absurdity 1 Does she read the papers and not ge etter informed as to the facts in tn l western states where equal suffraS 1 prevails?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
More Ways to Keep Town spotless.


 Mfr. Editor: I would like to add q few 'swats" to those lined up by our health officer. Dr. Lewis, and, by the way. while we all know that by swat we mean to kill, destroy. annlnilate' Il was curious to know what the dlclloh- ary said about it, and 1 fouhd thdl swat is an old Anglo-Saxon WorG meaning to sweat or persplre, when definition is all right, for as the ny does not sweat it must mean the one who does the sWatting, ana Il It i9 possible to make the fly sweat we "lH make him. and every other nuisance, be it insect, beast or man, that stdtius in the way of making this the Clly Reautiful Our ladies are now uniting their efforts to make it, 50 here goes
 Swat 1-Is in regard to our sue walks. that instead of sweeping the dust and rubbish every morning nlV the gutter. to be waited back aSaln by the wind, it be swept up ana put into the household ash can. IL Will greatly assist the city in keeping the streets clean.
 Swat 2-The filthy tobacco habit Tn public If men will use it. let IL pc In some isolated spot, where clean folks will not be compelled to sWaI- low the smoke. as we have to now
  pectorated, nauseating stuff on our sidewalks and streets that even the berated fy will not touch; all honor to him for it.
 Swat 3-The saloon and his sister, the brothel, and everything connected with the damnable traffic, from the man who sells it to the man who votes to have it licensed, and the one who rents his property to it all-all who profit by it in any way, swat or make them all sweat. How can city be beautiful with these vesubules or hell sprinkled on every side leaving an endless procession of poverty crime and suffering of the lnnocents because of it?
 Swat or cause to sweat, every per- son using profane or obscene Ian guage in public, which nuisance, by the way is punishable by fine. Spotless Town means more than to keep paper and rubbish out of our streets and backwards. This is good, but as our city has begun to wake up to new life in both business and manufacturing enterprises, and civic pride is aroused, let us swat, or cause to sweat every unclean, unrighteous and unwholesome thing or person that acts contrary to these virtues. l know tobacco is a sore point to raise, but do not our public schools teach our boys the banefu1 influence of tobacco and alcoholic drinks on the human body, even if our men. and some of them public officers, and even such as are connected with the schools, use it, making the teaching a dead letter?
 Swat 1t, and keep on swatting until outwardly, at least, Norwich is the Spotless Town our best men and women are now striving to make it.
 Yours for purity.
