BY MRS. ARTHUR M. DODGE.
President National Association
Opposed to Woman Suffrage.


Women and men are equal. We who
oppose the granting of the suffrage to
woman have never denied such a self
evident proposition. They are equal,
but they are not identical. And on this,
hinges the whole wide question of suf-
frage.
Not being identical, they have differ
ent spheres of activity, different du-
ties and in sense, different lives to
live. The history of all the world,
since unrecorded time, has fitted man
for the stronger, the cruder and the
rougher tasks He has become, natur-
ally and thoroughly, the warrior both
in peace and in battle. On the other
hand, by an equally long process, the
woman has become the preserver of
the home and the society which man
has established.
To put it fluently, there is today
and has always been the ref1nishing
influence. of woman to soften the cru
dity of man. Without her civilization
would be grotesque; but for her de-
votion to the circle and world which
are hers, we should be without NOR
ais, without what we know as man
ners and without religion.
The proper sphere of woman in this
century. as it has been in all others, is
above everything else to exemplify
and keep alive the flaming spirit OF
devotion and service to humanity
Many earnest women who are in favor
of woman suffrage deceive themselves
with the idea that it involves only the
casting of ballot, but hiatt is not the
sole aim and scope of many leading
suffragists nor would it be of large
number of women of this country if
they were franchised. Office-holding,
the struggle in the political arena, the
inevitable competition with men in
politics would undoubtedly tend to les
sen the refining influence of women.
We do not mean that all women
would forsake their homes and devote
their time to their political campaigns
but some would. We contend that the
dropping of the ballot in the ballot
box to elect men is an indirect way tC
accomplish an end. 1t is the personal
devotion and service that is really di-
rect as the men who have the ballot
have learned. 1t seems to us an extra
ordinary contention of the suffragists
that the ballot is needed to effect re
forms. The evidence before us in many
of our large cities of what is now be
ing done in social reform by men anc

between Senate and House leaders,
so that it should go through practical
ly unchanged. Moreover, there are
many indications now that he has
been largely successful and it will
not be particularly surprising TO find
his bill going through both House and
Senate unamended in any important
particular
There are numerous elements of
dissatisfaction in the bill Many
Democrats in both House and Senate
are vigorously opposed to several of
its provisions. They would be glad
to see important changes made. If
they dared, they would fight for these
changes but they do not dare. Mr..
Wilson has been successful in his
first move, for the bill is accepted
widely as a smashing reduction of
rates and already there is no little
talk that the result is bound to be
substantial decrease in the cost
of living. Many articles of daily con-
sumption by all the people either go
on the free list or sustain substantial
cuts in duties.
Paramount Issue.
This is really the paramount per.
Torrance of the bill The promise OF
the Democratic campaign was to re,
duce the cost of living and the chief
method which the Democrats promised
TO employ in bringing about such 8
reduction was just this kind of a
smashing cut in tariff rates. So the
test of fulfllment of that promise will
come when the pending reduction be
comes law and has had reasonable op
portunity to operate
Both Republicans and Democrats
display interesting anxiety over the
! situation. Many Democrats are des
perately afraid that the bill will pro
duce hard times and possibly panic

women is refutation of this. Men find
that the ballot which has enabled
them through legislation to put good
laws on the statute books is only the
beginning. After the passage of the
laws the real work begins. That is the
enforcement of laws through the ere
alton of public opinion and the awak-
ening of the public conscience.
Our contention is, has been. and al
ways will be that for woman the bal
lot would weaken the enormous In
fluence which she now has because
she must affiliate herself with politi-
cal parties and thus hamper herself
as many men now find themselves
hampered In their broader work to-
ward reforms. Half the people now,
that is the women, have, in our opin-
ion, the greatest influence because of
their naturalization with politics. Give
them the ballot and there could be no
really disinterested element left.
The trouble is that women as a
whole do not yet realize the enormous
influence which they can now WELD
through their advancement and en-
larged opportunities during the past
fifty years. They deceive themselves
by thinking that the ballot box is the
only approach to broader lines for
usefulness when the truth is that they
do not yet know how to use with san
ity and wisdom those now open to
them.
There is no question but that with
the present discomfort and restless
ness of large class of women chill
dren are being neglected and homes
that word so sacred by many suffra-
gsts-are becoming less ideal. The
home, be it one room or a palace, is
still the center from which the best
influences must emanate. Home is not
a place. 1t is an atmosphere.
The real problem of the present day
and broader one, of which this seems
only a side issue and a non-essential
to serious students. Suffragists think
the ballot Will be a means toward an
end and that with it all problems con
corning the home, children and women
in industry can be solved. We who are
opposing woman suffrage differ with
them in this. We consider the ballot
absolutely unnecessary. Therein lies
the only real difference between us
We are all, as women, working togeth-
er towards the betterment of present
conditions and the solution of many
perplexing problems. Votes for WON.
en-" in our opinion, will hapmer, not
help.

THE GROCER s DREAM.

Last evening / was talking
With a grocer aged and gray,
Who told me Of dream he had,
think twas Christmas day.
While snOozing in his Office,
The vision came to view,
For he saw an Angel enter,
Dressed in garments white and new.
Said the Angel, "I'm from Heaven,
The Lord Just sent me down
To bring you up to Glory
And put on your golden crown.
You we been friend TO everyone,
And worked hard night and day;
You we supported many thousands,
And from few received your pay.
So we want you up in Glory,
For you have labOred hard,
And the good Lord is preparing
Your eternal, just reward. T"
Then the Angel and the grocer
Started upward toward Glory 'sGate
But when passing close TO hades,
The Angel murmured "Watl"
I've a place to show you
is the hottest place in hell
Where the ones who never paid you
In torment always dwell"
And, behold, the grocer saw there
His old customers by the score,
And grabbing up a chair and fan,
He wished for nothing more;
But was bound TO sit and watch them
As they sizzled, singed and burned,
And his eyes would rest on debtors,
Whichever way they'd turn.
Said the Angel, "Come on grocer,
There's the Pearly Gates to see"
But the grocer only murmured,
"This Is Heaven enough for me.'

TO REGULATE LAND OWNERS
Oregon Bankers to Protect Settlers
From Speculators.

Portland, June 24.-(Special) -
That would-be settlers coming to
Oregon have in many instances, been
victimized by unscrupulous land
spectators and that the state as
whole has been injured by their OPP
erations, is a statement made at the
annual convention of Oregon bank
ers recently held at Corvallis, and
the attending delegates expressed a
determination to cooperate with the
commercial bodies throughout the
state in an effort to put greedy real
estate men out of business. The
plan does not contemplate the entire
elimination of land selling agencies,
but does propose to annihilate the
sharks who have been speculating in
good Oregon soil, taking it out of
production and holding it for an un-
reasonable increase in price.
1t was decided to form an APP
praisement committee to consist of
two members of the local CONNER
cial body and one banker, and in
tending purchasers will be advised to
purchase no real estate from any
dealer until the value of same has
been passed upon by the appraisers
and the price asked decided to be a
reasonable one. 1t was stated as a
fact that much of the agricultural
land in Oregon is held at too high a
figure There is doubtless plenty of
good land which can be obtained at
a fair price, but the newcomer, us
ually unfamiliar with local values
and conditions, seldom hears of that
land. The committee will see that
he gets a square deal.
