have enjoyed an anonymous article on
woman suffrage in last Sundays sun.
The nan who wrote this article called
himself A. NJ. Anti and he wrote the arti-
Gle with double purpose. His first pur-
pose was not To assert his dissont from
but to destroy the Conscientious and
able case for woman suffrage that Mrs.
Whitehouse has been making week by
week in the Sunday SUN. His next pur-
pose, which in way includes the first,
was to explode the entire notion Of woman
suffrage itself And II was this purpose
that betrayed him into extravagances
which would discredit any man not living
in al age inclined to tho bOmbast OF Old
boo smith.
To read the article OF A. NJ Anti one
would think that the introduction OF
woman suffrage into the United States
was n design comparable to the intro
duction Of leprosy or the promulg cation
u cannibalism II would be- impossible
to follow all the fantasies Of his mind or
this subject. but among other points he

~ HE anti-suffraglsts say that
women shouldn't vote because
i they cannot fight. or, as Sir
Almroth Wrigh, expresses IT,.
because their vote would not repre- sent
physical force" He explains that at "
by physical force alone that a nation
protects Itself against foreign Interior
ence." He believes that the internal
equilibrium OF the State is also de-
pendent upon the authority Of physical
force"
There seems to be twofold fallacy
in this particular objection Of the anti
suYragists: First. that women cannot
( fight. and second that they should not
vote unless they do fight.
