Story on Woman's Suffrage

man as a wage Garner.
Did you know, Bonnie, that there
are six million women fighting life's
battle as wage earners?
Yes. cold. hard, dry statistics give
this as the actual number forced to
the daily grind of mill, factory and
store
Daily these women are confronted
by laws which they have had no part
In making and are compelled to sub
nit to conditions which they have no
power to control. They literally have
no weapon with which to fight.
Every law is made by man and
when in the past woman has petition
Ell for laws which would in some
measure aid her, she has either met
with no response or with an evasive
promise that in her blindness and
cledulty she believed. But she has
learned to distinguish sound from
things and found that the voice was
that of Jacob while the hands were
those Of Esau, and when she learned
this then she started to help her
self
AS said before, every law was made
by man and some of the industrial
laws ar inquitous and the ballot is the
working woman's only remedy.
The suffrage question is not a ques-
ton Of right nor of justice. 1t is
need, and it is an economic question,

leave the home and go into industry,
arc lowering wages, crowding men out
OF positions and creating fiercer and
yet fiercer competition for jobs. And
because women are more tractable and
Will work for less wages than men

preference to men.

II seems to me that some one should
rise up and speak in meetin ana
come to the defense Of our sisters and
reply to Miss Burnham's article on
Woman Suffrage.
II a person of male persuasion" had
written that article I am sure that
Bonnie Durham would have been
very indignant and would have WELD
ed her pen vigorously.
First she says 1t Is not practical
because women are not able to elinin-
ate personalities.
Is IL possible that women az a class
ara 50 narrow, so small OF mind. that
they cannot face the Issues of the
day regardless OF petty personalities?
Evidently Miss Durham Is writing OF
the lady OF society" but to most of
them this is not just It is unthinka-
bic that the majority or women would
not be able TO eliminate personalities
frcm politics, that they would not vote
for the husband OF the woman who
had suubbed her socially, even IL he
stood for the very best Of all moral
standards"
An intellectual. predetermined. cul-
tured woman pays no attention TO a
Enub, for she knows that a true lady
never snubs.
But ladies OF society are very few
In number when compared to the
working women. The latter are in the
great majority and the woman work
ing for a living has no time for snob-
berry. Her time is filed earning her
daily bread.
Doing Double Duty.
And then Bonnie says that she does
not believe that the woman mind"
was ever constructed, as a class, to
koIr - he M hn "a
affairs at the same time, thus doing
double duty.
But the woman mind" evidently is
constructed to be a wage Garner and
to take care Of the home, for she does
It.: thousands Of women are compelled
to work In factories, sweat shops. in
the fields, in mills, stores and foun-
dries and care for the home at the
same time as best they can.
Not from woman's choice has this
state of affairs come about, but from
stern necessity.
A woman in the textile mills was
talking to a man of suffrage and he
said, you shouldn't mix UP with
politics; your place is at home" The
woman looked at the man with steady
eyes and replied, Then why don't the
Harmony mills pay my husband
enough to keep me there?"
The man walked away.
Oh, yes, woman should be the home
maker, the fond mother and loving
wife! That may have been the original
intention, but I doubt 1t, but what OPP
portunity has the mill hand, the fac
tory worker, the school teacher OF
business woman to fulfill these wtfely
and maternal duties?
They are forced to maintain life,
and because they are women they are
forced to accept a lower wage.
Many Wage Farmers.

an out from home; it has compelled

this competition becomes. more tense
every year.
Where does the home" come in IN
de1 these conditions?
You say, Bonnie, that you are a
property owner and then go on to say
that you are a woman and mot in
it !"
But you are ain tt AS a property
owner you are a tax payer. Does 1t
make any difference to you how much
taxes you have to pay? And do you
want to know why these taxes have TO
be paid?
While was living in Atlanta "the
powers that be- decided to issue bonds
for certain civic improvements and the
matter was to be put to vote. NOW
this bond issue would increase the
amount Of taxes very materially and
some of the heaviest property owners
! were women and naturally they
thought they should have something
| TO say regarding this issue of bonds,
so they drew up a petition and pre-
sented it to the mayor and board or
aldermen. This petition stated the
reasons why they, the property own
ers, should vote. The committee OF
ladies' was received with half conceal
ed smiles, the petition listened to and
| then laid on the table. The news
papers mentioned the incident in a
humorous and half sarcastic vein, and
| that was the end of ii.
Now just suppose those women had
refused to pay the added tax. Those
women property owners had to pay
| taxes the same as the men. Did they
not have moral right to say whether
those bonds should be issued? A
woman should understand the law, for
| II she is law-breaker knowingly
or in Ignorance. she must pay the
penalty, and if she must be governed
by law, should she not have a word to
say regarding the making Of that law?
