The Right of Suffrage vs.. Stntes-
The anxious editor predicts, as one
result of the operation OF 81 Federal
amendment for equal suffrage, 1.-THE
tearing down of one of the main pillars
on which the Virginia fathers rested
the dual institutions of the republic"-
meaning states rights. The Virginia
fathers" had no right, and certainly
no good reason, to leave this question
open by excluding women from gov
eminent. And the growing Intelligence
of southern men during the past 1870
years should have lifted them above
the littleness of following their faith
ers' example in this respect To-day
women have learned that the State Is
only the aggregation of the individuals
that compose ii. If the rights OF those
IholNlouals are ignored, the term

states rights" becomes mlsnomer
The government that allows its citi-
Zens to be disfranchsed unjustly may
expect disaffection among those so dis
eliminated against, for the right of
suffrage is greater than States rights
If woman alone had ehe ballot would
men consider States rights" suf-
ticient reason for their own continued
diSfranchiSement?
Equnl Suffrage Guarantee of White
Supremacy.
Another prediction is that plaques
would arise out of all proportion to
the benefit sought for one class of the
citizenship" This one class of the
citizenship" comprises one half the
people of the State, who are at pres
cnt politically ranked with idiots
criminals. infants and lunatics. Vir-
ginia suffragists realize that Virginia
women. as we'll as Virginia men. are
Intelligent, capable and worthy of
trust, and that their direct influence
is needed in the government Of the
State.
The plaques" that would arise from
their acknowledgment are merely buga-
boos, intended to Brighten the timid
and to discourage the weak. Even the
fearful prophecy of negro domination
has lost Its power 10 terrify The
white women of the South outpumb Der
all the negroes, male and female, by
more than 100000. In Virginia there
are about 10000 negro women and
$4,000 white women; and the per-
centage Of illiteracy among negro
women is nearly four times as large
as among white women. Hence the
white womans vote will guarantee the
supremacy of the white race. The men
of The South have settled forever the
question of the negro man in poll
tics. and the laws that apply to him
Will apply with equal efficacy TO the
negro woman
| The same may be said of the vicious
and criminal males and females,
though the latter are so few in numbe
as to be hardly worth considering.
| Women Needed In Government.
Southern men have at last succeed
i cd in adjusting their systems of suf-
frage to the peculiar conditions exist
ent." TO give suffrage to women would
not be TO run the risk of upsctting
that work. and possibly the co-opera-
ton OF women in southern politics In
the past might have lessened the diff
culties of that adjustment. Women
want only equal right with men, sub
ject to the same prerequisite condi-
lions and qualifications as mon. Tina,
the state can safely grant their de-
mand Is patent to every honest, un-
Drcjudiced mind. Women want the
ballot because of social and political
evils, In comparison with which tn,

The distinguished editor already re-
ferrcd to admits that Virginia can
safeguard and regulate woman suf-
frage by the same laws that now apply
to man suffrage, and suggests giving
the franchise to women as an alterna-
tive to their obtaining it through a
Federal amendment. This is a tacit
acknowledgment Of the expediency
and the righteousness of equal suf
frage, and is by far the most sensible
course to pursue. 1t will prevent all
question as to the right of the State
TO control it's own electorate and will
save Virginia the lasting disgrace OF

expect from their own men.
