Women should have suffrage because

that before mankind had sinned, and

Of which the home is really the foun-

OF which the home Is really the foun-
dation?
The fact that women. il they had SUI
frage. would do all in their power tow
ards the betterment of the country, is
proved by the act that the strongest
interests against suffrage are liquor
concerns. grafters n white slavers.
Women's object in desiring the vote
and the right to hold office is to better
Industrial conditions. such as women's
wages n child labor; and to clean UP
politics. Women also wish to vote In
order to have ON voice in the laws
that are to govern themselves and their
children.
AS to h statement that women have
neither time nor strength for politics,
how about those thousands of women
who stand up under the burden Of house
hold cares and office work combined?
As to time, I say that it takes much less
time to prevent bad conditions than it
does to better them; and that, If wiser
laws were made concerning these in,
dustrial problems, women would have
much less slum work and charitable
work, and fewer criminals to deal with.
Will women lose their womanhood
through politics, as SO many say2 No.
They will never become corrupt by
working to accomplish a higher pur-
pose, which, in this case, is the building
up of a nation SO hat it will be a filter
place to live in. Women, instead Of be-
coming polluted, will have the same eff
feet on the corrupt world, as a clean
stream has when poured into a dirty
one. Instead Of becoming soiled them
selves. they will clean the world.
A question often asked is, what
kind Of women will vote 2" The answer
is given by a leading Colorado woman,
who has had much experience in suf-
frage states. She says that the lower
class Of women do not vote because
they do not wish to be identified, and
because they are too transient to have
proper qualifications. The good women,
or higher. class, IN the other hand, do.
vote. some because they wish to-. and
some because they wish to out-balance
the few lower minded women that vote.
The effect Of women's suffrage is
naturally good. In the states that nave
equal suffrage, there is q general up
lift. Many Of our most prominent citi-
Gems, after carefully studying the con-
ditions in the suffrage states. are fore
ed, literally forced, as the governor Of
Minnesota has said, to be in favor Of
women's suffrage. Some Of these prom.
inent people are Judge Ben. Lindsey,
Jane Adams. and Theodore Roosevelt.
Then If the effect Of suffrage is the
betterment Of these states-and how
could 1t be different, with the chief
home makers helping in the govern
ment?-why should not women have a
chance to better all the states? There
is no reason. They should have the
chance. and they will have the chance
for some day man will realize that the
nation can not be perfected until he
in all seriousness takes woman as his
helper.

ing of the Indians into receiving in
struments high up in a New York loft
building. Outside curtains of rain,
wind-driven, rustled like forest leaves.
In the dim-lit studio, the dozen Black
foot braves, blanketed, with heads
feather-crowned, shifted uneasily as
they faced the phonograph horn.
Their singing was perfectly true. The
songs they chanted in unison was
their tribe music transmitted from
mouth to mouth through generations.
Very solemnly each Indian did his
part toward perfecting the records
that will be sent to Washington and
filed in the Department Of the Inter-
ior.
Presently the phonogfaph mechan-
ism was reversed that they might
hear the reproduction of their own
voices. Instantly the silent braves
realized what such records mean in
the history of the tribes. And then,
unasked, they gathered about the
monograph and chanted the Song
of Home" bestowed and least famil-
lar of all Blackfoot songs!
Chief Big Top acted as interpreter
for me for the Indian singers.
1T is the. song my people have
sung for ages when leaving home for
long trips on the hunting trail or the
war path he said. They sing tito
express the lonely feeling that comes
when they are far away from the
mountains. The Song of Home
makes them think of of the camp
fire-and the tepee-and the chill
dren."
