1t is an outrageous thing, disgrace and
justice to that the mothers of this country
forbidden to share in the making of the laws.
Look at the picture this page represents average
good woman taking of a family
What will dare say this woman is not fit to vote
or that she has not THE RIGHT vote?
She brings the children into the world them
She endure the drudgey hardship monotOny the home
while the is away engaged in work infinitely less trying
The mother suffers the dreadful agony childbirth in
fntey than any suffering the battlefield which
talk so much.
And she pang anxiety sorrow when her
children ILL., she goes through ordeal which
conceivable when one of her children dies.
The whole load of the world is upon back She
creates the entire race, the and the
Unjust laws weigh heavily upon her.
Bad laws and failure the laws destroy the char
acter Of her sons and she suffers.
IncOnceivaby stupid and brutal would
bid women the vote.
Nothing admirable could be conceived than
deu courage shown by those England protesting
in starvation and the point of death against injustice
Did you read the description of that noble old woman
Mrs Pankhurst tried by judge and lot of other MEN and
sent to jail for three years?
You talk about the courage of Where has
shown the of that old refusing eat dehanty
telling her Judges that she would out of prison
DEAD OR ALIvEand proving the live to her
declaration?
Don you that that only asking for HER
RIGHT7 And they released her from prison because she
would not eat jail food
Suppose she had been old MAN brought before twelve
WOMEN, and female Judge.
What would you think if you old judged by
exclusively ptuy asking for the right share in the
making Of the laws that sent him to jal7
WHEN THEY ARE NOT PERMITTED TO SHARE IN THE
MAKING OF THE LAws9
Have not men from the beginning done infinitely worse
things than the suagette of England ever did in the effort
to get the vote and freedom?
Did not the socaled noble patriots of this country
early days resort to that cannot even be described
when they protesting against Engand refusal to give
them share in representation since they paid taxation?
We all talk with admiration about Revolution, and
THE RIGHT TO VOTE AND CONTROL THEMSELVES. AND
WE FORGIVE THE FACT EVEN THAT IN BOSTON THE
PUBLIC STREETS
Why show of that admiration and sympathy
and forgiveness for the of England and for the
of other countries in their desperate effort to obtain for them
selves justice and fair treatment?
the who opposes suffrage who at the eff
forts noble to gain their right ask these questions
Why do you depse and think them unit to vOte
WAS YOUR OWN MOTHER UNFIT TO VOTE? Have
you poor opinion your mother of your sister of your
daughter that you think worthy her judg
ment and share government than some miserable creature
soaking himself with whisky in corner saloon?
Every bit of genteness nsted into you child got
your mother Every born savage and is the
who patiently and gently dminishes cruelty and VIC
lence and nstiIs kindness and gentleness into him.
What infamy for to that the woman who is
fit to direct him in his childhood to govern him in his bcyhOOd
and to inspire him in his manhood is UNFIT TO CAST
VOTE.
Women to-day are the heavily taxed The used
to be laid by government MEN paid the road and
they paid stamp taxes and other taxes.
To-day the chief laid BY TRUSTS ON WOMEN
The Oil Trust Coal Trust the Beef Trust the Sugar
Trust Flour Trust the Ice Trushese forces of gov
eminent without representation, AND THEY TAX
WOMEN WHO PAY THE HOUSEHOLD EXPENSES
Don't you think that the who the taxes of the
trusts would have intelligence enough to vote to stop this
alton?
Is not the woman good enough educate the boys and
girls good enough to advise her husband patient and kind
enough endure the hard lot of good and intelligent
enough to share in the government of a country?
Woman Drawer than man. she has proved it thousand
million times in childbirth Woman devoted than
the woman will sacrifice her life for her child
ceptiOn.
And fields of courage of which the boast
the women themselves than the
Women ought to vote and they will The op-
