THE JEFFERSONIAN

spend a life of abject apology to the
children we have borne, for the
fathers we chose for them.
Some women have gone through
the greater part of life in an attitude
of apology to the world at large for
the male upon whom their destiny
rested, more or less; sometimes it
has been a drunken and dishonest
father, and sometimes a derelict
husband-but in each case the world
has taken the man at the worth he
was |recOkned, as a man, and the
woman has not received any more
consideration nor been given any
higher seat in the synagogue because
Of the failure Of the man to live up
to his obligations.
The woman who has had to battle
with the world, doing a mans work
and often receiving boys pay; who
has come in contact with the sue
cessful woman and had little con-
sideratiOn or encouragement from
her: who has struggled against all
the odds that beset woman who is
only equipped with the desire or the
determination to make gOOd-can
scarcely look with an unruff1ed brow
at the majority Of the women who
are smashing windows and hats, who
are hiking" from here to yonder,
who are beselging Governors, May
Ors and the rest of the public Of
icials for recognition" at the polls.
The woman who reads the daily
papers has long since recognized the
fact that corruption, dishonesty,
graft in every form, and all the rest
Of the political ills exist in every
form of gOVernment-natiO and
civic. She reads of the preposterOus
charges that are made for the sim
plest form Of building, when the
Government has to pay the bill; she
reads Of the bills which are sent in
for the Government to pay for the
purposes of bathing and beautifying
our National representatives; she
reads Of the vote buying and the vote
selling that occur every time a bal
lot is cast for any purpose-and she
wonders how change can possibly
be made to come about.
If she is a woman who has been
cared for and thought for by father
and later by husband; if she is one

There isn't often anything in
name, and the Michigan farmer nam
ed Seeds who was arrested in At
lanta for passing fake money off on
an unsuspecting landlady-proved it
again.
While politics in Georgia are quiet
enough on the surface to deceive all
but those in the know, there are
quite few dark horses whose diet
and grooming are being carefully
watched.
In New York you can buy a dozen
eggs with suffrage ballot on each
for 35 cents per dozen, and many
a man will wish he could scramble
the suffrage question as easily as he
can the eggs.
Maybe the plucky widow of Gen
eral Longstreet will meet with more
enthusiastic support in her efforts to
save General Sickles, than she did in
her efforts to save Tallulah Falls for
the people of Georgia.

Whenever we want to have our
faith in human nature strengthened,
we read the lost-and-found columns
of some Of the big daily papers; and

"NEW LAMPS FOR OLD ONES"

So HEN the servant of Alladin
TAI gave the Magician the old,
NV shabby lamp which was the
w most priced possession her
master had, she didn't dream of all
the calamities she was about to in
fict that unlucky wight with.
Along the same line, those who are
urging most strongly the claims of
the militant suffragist, do not realize
the difficulties which will accumulate,
and the utter absence Of any solu-
ton to the ills which now beset us,
as a people, civically and otherwise.
1t is true the movement has a
strength and an Importance which
the most sanguine did not dare hope
for it ten years ago.
When Miss Susan Anthony proved
herself as capable as a man in every
way, and when DR.. Mary Walker de-
fed tradition and the police, to wear
the trousers and the high hat which
have gladdened her soul for so many
years, they were taken as the eXcep-
tons, and not as standing for what
would be the rule-in class by
themselves, and regarded as such.
1t is safe to assume that there is
a very large majority in the cities
where suffrage agitation has taken
the place Of sewing societies and
other harmful diversiOns,,@tO whom
the movement is nothing SO much as
a fad. A large number of women
will follow anything like a popular
movement, just as men will remain
with a political party they have been
allied with for years-nOt so much as
a matter of conviction nor principle
as for the fear of being classed as
odd or ignorant
There have been few of us, born
to worry, disappointment and the bit
ter knowledge that we had to rely on
our own eXertiOns and efforts to
achieve whatever may have been our
ambition.
Some of us have had marriage to
spell Tragedy Of the hardest type to
bear-the type that marks as failure
every effort to make a home and to
keep it, when there was only one
pair Of hands to do it, and nothing
certain to do it on.

and charges" every item, and who
never had to think twice of the cost
of anything, then she will read with
avidity every line that tells of ''the
growth of the suffrage movement, >
and she will begin to squawk for
votes for women
Buff she is a woman who has
had to look below the surface, and
who has hau to count every penny
and weigh every move she has made,
when it has come to questions con-
corning herself and the family she
may be responsible for, she will
realize what terrible rottenness
civic and national rottenness is-andI
she will be appalled, at the thought
OF becoming a part of the rabble]

And what of the thousands oil

Will there be any lessening Of the

Will politics be purified?
Will there be a greater percentage
of honest women admitted to the
polls than there are now honest men
qualified to vote?

If it were only the simple ques-
ton of making choice after a care
full and thorough investigation of the
candidates for the places offered, and
plain recording of the choice so
made-what simple matter the bal
lot would be. But the time for that
simplicity has long ago passed by.
The men who are interesting them
selves in the sO-called suffrage move
are men with axes to grind-hide
they them ever SO carefully, and
the women who, Willingly or un-
Willingly lend themselves as grind

WORK STARTS AGAIN

The reclamation work started
again yesterday. 1t is under
stood that something like 60 men
will be put to work at once and
the number increased as the pro-
iects are under way. 1t is stated
that all dirt work with the eX-
ception of one or two separate
projects, will be let under con-
tract hereafter, the reclamation
people simply doing the other
work such as bridges, drops, etc.
1t is probable that by letting con-
tracts the work will be hurried
along and the money go farther
than by the old system Of the
government employing the men
and having entire charge of the
work.
In this connection it may be
said that the Pioneer is in re-
ceipt almost daily Of letters from
homesteaders under the several
projects commencing the policy
of this paper in advocating that
the government should stand the
expense of the reclamation, and
not make it a first mortgage on
all the land on the reservation
under the bitches. The idea
that a reclamation project shoulc
be a government charge as much
as a harbor improvement at first
seemed absurd to some, but {
little thought on the subject ant
it is not so ridiculous as it nigh
seem.
The probability is that some
time congress may be prevailed
upon to look at the matter in tn
same way and relieve the home
steader here of the burden. Let
tiers to our congressman and sen
ators would not be amiss, ant
the chances are that Congress
man Evans will be glad to he'll
