What does Champ Clark mean by "half crazy,
but American to the core?" Are we all that way?

The talk about the Ignorant vote" of women
harks back in curious way to the talk which used
to be heard in this country fifty years ago. II
shows that still afraid of democracy and
that still believe that water can rise above its
source. No government can be better than the
people governed. If women are ignorant it is our
business to that they are enlightened And the
best way of seeing that they are enlightened is not
by keeping them in the background but by treating
them as human beings, capable of complete de-
velopment through education and through fair
economic and social opportunities.

Sometimes, when the chivalry OF men is investi-
gated and interpreted to the world, what revcla-
ton there will be-what an exposure
On the other hand, in this regard there is some
thing to be said for men. Up to now they have
had an immense advantage, including the pleasant
Consciousness chat most OF the prizes OF life were
TOR their own Sex. Now they are seeing women
enter into competition Naturally. the struggle be-
comcs>harder. The more successful women be-
come the less sure the OF their own superb
orIty. For even in the present situation men have
an easy sense that by their natural endowment.
they are the suPeriors OF women Often. in the
discussions OF political equality, notice that this
superiority is taken for granted. Men arc so con-
Tnced OF it that it seems hardly necessary to put
1t INTO words. When, however, they do put it into
words they speak with authority that admits OF
no argument. They seem to be finely unconscious
OF their own conceit and arrogance And they arc
certainly unconscious that they themselves owe
everything to women, that they themselves were
brought into the world by women, that in their
natures there is good deal OF the woman

Opponents Of the suffrage don't seem to realize
that women have always been active in politics
that is, some women During the legislative ses
sionS in Washington and in all the State capitals
there are always women who are influencing lecis
lation. The history OF the world shows that some
of the greatest political moves have resulted from
the maneuvcrng OF women.
Much of this work has been done secretly. And
like most secret things, it has been far from whole
some. Men have been contemplate enough to ex
plot the attraction Of women to influence lecis
laton. Perhaps there will always be this kind of
influence at work. But it does not follow for this
reason that women should be kept out of politics
1t is not the women who chiefly to blame. 1t
is the men who first corrupt them and then paw
them to corrupt others.

the missing American steamship F. j.
Luckenbach. several days overdue on
a trip from Port Tampa to Baltimore

which the steamer was reported lying
Is out of the track of vessels and the
presence of the Minnesota in that To-

her out of her course. The owners OF

identity of the steamer.
