none of it. The y are sensible
enough to see that the universal
suffrage for women means the
ultimate destruction of the home.
The real wife, the woman who
has the love and respect of her
husband, exerts more influence
than the ballot would give, and
in households where peace dwells
the husband and wife would vote
together, and as this class be-
longs equally to both parties the
result would only be to double
the vote without changing the
status of things. But in homes
where there is discord it would
only be an added means of fric-
ton between husband and wife
and a further strain on the mar
fatal bonds.
This alleged gallantry that
caues men to say that they favor
the ballot for women because the
women want it makes me tired.
AS well say if they wanted q
deadly poison to let them have it.
The ballot would be more deadly
to them than poison, for it would
take from them the position they
now occupy. 1t would plunge
them into a scramble that woulC
force them to the sordid plane
that we occupy. Our civilization
is based opon the home and upon
the position of superior virtue
and character that our women
occupy in the minds of men. Il
is only in savage and semi-civil
lied communities that womer
are not held in greater esteem
than men. Giving them suffrage
will put them in position tina
will cause them to strive with III
and us with them. 1t will unsel
her and put her down to mans
level, and lower, for there is n,
middle ground for woman. Sh,
is either very good or devilisl
bad. 1t is very pretty to pain
word pictures about woman
rights, and waste rhetoric owe
it, but no woman has the RICH
to something that will take he
out of the sphere for which Go,
created her, and bring her int
the political arena and put he
with influences that will degrad
her. Woman's greatest influenc
is in her goodness and her r,

why Should Women Vote.

The suffragettes are making
life a burden for every man in
public place with their demand
for the right" to vote. In the
land of "Merrie England" they
have resorted to mob violence,
and the gentle sisters are burning
buildings, wrecking houses,
smashing windows, and doing
various little things to prove that
they can be mean and vicious
enough to be entrusted with the
ballot. They are saying to the
men.by these acts: Don't you see
that we can be just as naughty
as you big. strong men?" And
they threaten that unless they
are allowed the ballot in America
they will put on the paint and go
upon the war path and begin Q
campaign of destruction in this
peaceful land.
But America is conservative.
Before these dear sisters can get
us to believe that they are in
every way qualified for the bal.
lot they will have to demonstrate
that they are as tough" as W.
sinful men. If, instead of meet
ing and resoluting all by theil
lonesome, they would get on
among the boys and be a gooC
fellow, learn to get on the out
side of a quart of squirrel whis
key and yet be able to travel
hold a steady hand in the nation
al game of poker, and be genu
inc bruisers at the polls, we may
begin to think of taking then
into a voting partnership will
us. And that is what the ballo
for women would lead to. Tn,
good mothers, the home-makin,
wives, do not want the ballot an,
would not exercise the privileg
if she had it, and that contingen
that would exercise it would ne
add much to the purity of GU
politics.
