DEFENSE OF THE CAUSE
Correspondents of The Star Tell Why
Elective Franchise Should
Be Universal.

Woman suffrage. a subject which is
foremost in the minds OF many persons,
is the basis for a number OF communica-
tions received by The Star in which those
whose slogan is "Votes for Women de-
fend their position and state reasons why
they believe women should be granted
the ballot
The communications, for the most part,
are in the nature of answers to state
ments made at recent anti-suffrage meet
ing. Others deal with the basis principles
OF the suffrage movement.
One correspondent. after stating her ex-
perience as government clerk. closes
with the declaration that the women Of
the country have become awakened to the
true sense of their duties as wife and
mother, which includes citizenship. The
communication is signed "An Old Lady,"
Efforts of Ants Futile.
In referring to the movement which
has been started to prevent the enacting
Of laws granting equal suffrage, she
states:
''The 'antis might as well attempt to
stop the proverbial stream with sand.
They strengthen the cause Of justice by
opposing 1T. Look over the names-the
wife of the Hon. So and So; not the
name OF a working woman among the

ems work, because that law does not ap-
ply to the idle rich Neither are they
solicitous about the laws pertaining to
the little children working in factories

stunted little ones are the women to be
heard from, and their ideas Of social and
economic justice considered.

Change in Public Opinion.
'T saw Susan B. Anthony pelted with
eggs when she first appeared on west
ern platform, and l have lived to see he,

republic. So you see that public opinion
has undergone great change regarding
the rights of women. Now what is pub.
lie opinion? Largely the opinion of the
male sex, either expressed or implied.
while woman has been awakening tt
the true sense of her duties as wife anG
mother, which includes citizenship. mar
has kept pace in developing broader
mindedness. a keener sense of the 'e.er.

"P1astic Masculinity.'

Another correspondent asks: "What
kind of plastic masculinity have the an

the lawmakers of the country are gener-
ally tongue-tied> until they are handed the
word by some back-door route, that the
time is ripe to enact woman's opinion into

This communication is signed by Anna
Jenness- Miller, chairman of the stands

geant and is as follows:
"'Since the making of the future voter
