Equal Suffrage in New York

The New York legislature proposes attach a drag the proposed constitutional amendment giv- ing votes to women. For the privilege of voting they are to be compelled to abandon privileges which women all civilized communities enjoy- dover rights almony, attorneys fees in divorce suits, as well as other privileges which regarded as exclusively belonging to women.
 These privileges are really the rights of women which ought to be asked in surrender for the privilege of voting. They accorded to women because O a peculiar disadvantage to which they subjected society is constituted, in conse- quence of unjust property laws and customs. The handles the money and the property. Nothing is secured woman, except what is secured to her by these privileges When she goes into the divorce she is penniless. She is given. the death of her husband only moiety of the estate which belonged to them both. If enjoyed equal property rights with men under the law these com pensatory privileges would not be allowed her.
 Notwithstanding the injustice of the proposal them, believe that would sacri flee them to obtain the ballot Once in the posses sion of weapon self defense with the aid of men with d sense of justice. and there enough them could secure laws for their pro- lection.
 Therefore, we believe that the opponents of equal suffrage in the New York legislature take short sighted view of the case when they expect enlist the opposition of the women to the equal suffrage amendment by loading it with such an un- just provision. We only wonder that such a legis lature go a step farther and insert in the amendment, a condition equal suffrage, that women should be subject military service
 In fact, we have already heard that senseess suggestion from those who oppose woman suffrage if women want the privileges of men, let them share the perils and the burdens. There is a forgetful ness of the fact masculine strength of muscle and bravery in the physical danger not es sential qualifications for intelligent voters Women in their way stronger than men, and braver.
