Editor of Ladies
Home Journal
Favors Suffrage

For many years Mr. Edward Box,
editor of the Ladies' Home Journal, has
been bitter. in his opposing equal suf-
frage for women. That he should but
recently publish the following editorial
in his paper is but one of the many
"signs of the times" that the enfran-
chisement Of women is sure to come
and that one of the greatest blessings
that comes with it will be the awak-
ened interest women will have in the
great political outside that so keenly
effects everything connected with the
home:
It makes no difference whether a
woman wishes that suffrage may come
to her or not, this much is vital: that
she should get ready for it. A woman
should say to herself that it is going to
come, and then prepare herself for it.
That is, she should begin to open her
eyes to the big world, to this big coun-
try and to the community in which she
lives, and try to find out what they all
mean and stand for Let her make up
her mind to take half hour each day

y AGAINST MEN VOTlk

Because men DO not use ballot when
they haye it. Only 20 per cent of the
electors of New York State voted on
the quest; 2n e Elding a constitution
al conveu..oi- ..~..t year. And only Ga
per cent of the male voters of Dallas
Texas, cast their I; OTIS at the last
election. The. - men should be
deprived of the franchise. BECAUSE
MEN HAVE NOT ASKED FOR THE
BALLOT. When men are 81 they have
the right to vote thrust upon them
whether they want it or not. Even
aliens who become naturalized do not
ask for the vote. Undoubtedly many
Of them would like the privileges anG
protection OF citizenship without re-
sponsibility. But the states give them
the franchise. without their consent,
zen though their time is fully occny
pied with their duties as wage earners
and fathers. VOTING SERIOUSLY

Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait, chair
man Of the Empire State campaign
committee, is responsible for. a plan Of
work for the coming year, which will
make it almost Inevitable that the
voters of New York state will pass a.
woman suffrage amendments in No
vember, 1915. The schedules briefly
this: October = Money - Workers
in each county. town, village and as
-sembly district will devote the last
two weeks of October to raising money
and securing pledges for the neces-
sary campaign fund, which must reach
a minimum of $4,000. This money
must be raised before the mass meet
ing in Carnegie hall on November 6.
In New York state complete canvass
will be made Of every apartment house
business office, shop, news stand and
push cart. November = Interviews
All elected members of the constitu-
tional convention and legislature will
be interviewed by a deputation Of in
fluential women from their own dis
trict. All voters will receive litera-
ture on election day and a squadron
of western women voters will visit
every campaign district in the state
and tell the voters what the women
have accomplished in the equal sui
-frages states. ~ r.s
December - Populations. - Every
assembly district leader will organize
deputatiion to present to newly
elected assemblymen and senators
resolutions calling for the submission
of suffrage amendment with a state
ment of the number of enrollments Sc
cured in his district.
January =: Lecture Courses. Every
county seat and city is to have a series
of lectures OF meetings for the winter.
A speakers bureau has been organized
at the New York City headquarters
and there will probably be a suffrage
school to train workers in speaking,
argument and organization. j., 49,

words, "get posted" And that is what
every woman must do. For if the vote
comes to the women in her state she
will have to vote in order to offset the
vote of some woman who may not be
as desirable to the community as she
tries to be. Suppose the vote doesn't
come her way, has she had her pains
and spent her time for naught? Not at
all. She is the gamer for, whether she
votes or not, every woman should
know more about what the great ques-
lions of the day mean. There is not
the slightest doubt that women would
be better companions for the men of
their families if hey did know. So
woman really gains two or three dis
tinct points by mentally granting that
the privilege of suffrage may come to
her, and preparing herself for the in
telligent exercise of it before it comes.
1t is unwise for woman to say: II
don't care about the vote" She must
care 1t behooves her to be ready If the
ballot is given her, for when it is hers
she must be ready. That much is sure
and that much she can do. ~

brass bands, unlimited lectures and
fervent appeals from the pulpit and
the press, a large part of the male
voters remain Indifferent: and this
condition is chronic. An article in the
North American Review for August,
1913, pointed out that the previous fall
at the primary elections held in New
York State only Is per cent, of the
registered voters went to the polls,
and this was, of course, a much small
Ter per cent, of the men who could
have registered if they had chosen.
In Tioga County, out of 4,244 register
ed male voters. only 561 took the trou-
Bile to vote. In Cortland, out of L.
342 registered men, only 1877 voted.
In Watertown only per cent Of the
voters went to the polls; in Little
Falls, 10 per cent: in Ilion per cent.
In Ohio in 1912 when "a important
amendments to the Constitution We're
submitted, less than half of the re-
gistered voters went to the polls. On
an amendment relating to liquor,
which is usually burning question,
less than one-third of the registered
men expressed an opinion. In Column

the remaining Is per cent. will not
take the trouble to go to the polls.
No one argues, however, that the more
public-spirited minority should be for
hidden to cast their ballots. because
an apathetic majority do not care to:
do so. N-,
! But if women, who are full of human
nature, fail to come up to the ideal
by voting their full strength, they are
held up to scorn: and it is even
seriously urged that the public-spirited
women who are willing eager to vote
should be debarred, because so many:
of their sisters are Indifferent. This
is setting up double standard of
morals, with a vengeance. The Bis
hop Of London, who has since gone
to the front with his regiment, .riddled
j this particular objection with statistic,
the last time the suffrage question
was debated in Parliament, An OPP
:ponent of equal rights said that many
women failed to use their municipal
vote. The Bishop pointed out that in
London 4S.S per cent. Of the men who
could vote at municipal elections did

He added that in 1859, when the right
was first given, few women voted; that
the number has constantly grown, and

as generally as the qualified men IN
some places even more so. Il: .sE Nc
