CONCERNING THAT OHIO
SUFFRAGIST PETITION

The suffragists boast of their GER
tainty in gaining suffrage for women
In Ohio because of the large number,
$4,000, who signed their petition.
They do not state, however, what per
cent this number is or whether it
represents the entire population, male
voters or adults; simple omission
which most suffragists are inclined
to make. The last census of Ohio
gives population of 2,434,75S males
and 1885,, 1863 females, or q total OF
lO4.4 males to 100 females. According
to these figures the suffrage petition
foes not show and great keenness for
woman suffrage since it represents
Hnly 2.S per cent of the whole popu-
latiOn and but 5.3 per cent Of the
male population. Even if 10 per cent
Of the voters of the state had actually
Petitioned, have the 80 per cent no
Justification in opposing
The suffragists make great to do
about Democracy and the rule Of the
majority, but occasionally It slips
their minds with many other little
things.
Many who signed the suffrage petit
ton did so from a desire to submit
the question to the voters and have
done with the subject-fOr q time At
least.

DON'T FIGHT DEMOCRATS
OHIO sUFFRAeIsTs DENY RE.
PORT SENT FROM WASHING
TON BY THEIR ENEMIES.

Reports from Washington that wom-
an suffragists were preparing to make
war on all Democratic congressman
has brought quick disavowal from the
Ohio organization headed by Mrs. Har-
riet Taylor Upton of Warren.
"The report was evidently spread
by the enemies of suffrage" said Mrs.
Upton, "since 1t lays at the door of all
suffragists the action of a small COM
mittee located in a single city, which
has no responsibility to any state or
national suffrage organization.
"The committee in question is the
so-called Congressional union. It con-
ducts suffrage lobby at Washington.
Its members are able to speak for
themselves but they cannot speak for
suffragists at large, and they certain
ly do not speak for Ohio suffragists.
In Ohio our friends are to be found
in all parties. We have no more loyal
adherents than Congressman Crosser,
Keifer and Sherwood and Ambassador
Sharp, who has served as a Demo-
cratic congressman.
when l first heard of the plans of
the Congressional union wrote to it's
chairman, saying that Ohio would not
countenance such action and demand
ing that the campaigners keep out of
Ohio. This they promised to do. AS
matter of fact, their efforts are con-
fined to the 10 states where women
already have suffrage"

VETS AND DRYS UNITED
SPOKE FROM SAME PLATFORM
IN TOLEDO FOR WOMAN
SUFFRAGE.

The novelty of "wets" and "drys"
both pleading the woman suffrage
cause from the same platform has
been witnessed by Toledo audience.
The chairman of the mass meeting
was Aaron B. Gabriel, prominent
temperance advocate, and the first
speaker, Miss Elaine Jack, took up
the question somewhat from a dry"
standpoint.
Ex-senator Frank Hillenkamp was
then introduced and said bluntly: 81
believe in the open saloon, and l am
sure women will prefer that kind of a
saloon to the kind that exists in vio-
lation of the law.
However, this has nothing to do
with the suffrage question. Women
are asking the ballot for the same rea-
son that men want it. They should
be granted it as a matter of simple
right"
Miss Beatrice Vaughn, representing
the woman labor unions, closed the
meeting. She wore an apron to SYM
bolize her position and pleaded for
economic conditions which would not
compel the women to invade mems
sphere in factories and offices. Put
the cradle back in the home" pleaded
Miss Vaughn. Women will do it, if
they can have their way"

breaches FREE LOVE

Former Suffrage Leader ReVlSes
christ's Sermon on. the Mount.
(From the Detroit Saturday Night,
March 31.)
Jesus Christ taught US that who
soever shall put away his wife, saw
ing for the cause Of fornicatlon.
causeth her to commit adultery; and
whosoever shall marry her that is d.
Iorced committeth adultery" But
Jane Olcott, formerly of the New
York State Suffrage association, gives
US this new gospel;
"A man or woman should be free
tc give love whenever it Is natural
Love is volatile, and when
it goes ! believe it is immoral for
man or wife even to appear to live
together, except for the sake of their
children. In that case each should
be free to bestow love elsewhere by
mutual agreement. 1t would be bet
ter for the children. as both would be
happier"
OF course, when Jesus delivered
the Sermon on the Mount the wise
woman had not yet come out of the
east to teach Him the ethics of fem
ipism. Free love" had not yet at
tanned the subtly differential dignity
of the freedom Of love-" as Jane de-
fines it. There was no Inez Milhol-
land Boissevain to set the Master
right on the meaning of marriage,
and to throw her wedding ring into
Holland canal, proclaiming as a new
goddess of the new liberty:
Wedding rings are relics of bar
tarism. They are relics of the day
when women were mems chattels. I
should feel like a slave instead of
free woman, If ] were to wear wed.
ding ring"
And does she throw her marriage
certificate into the canal, also, lest It
look too much like a mortgage that
covers mems, other chattels, or like a
contract that might seem too binding?
It's a long way from Nazareth to
New York. Are we any better or
happier for the journey? Have we
gained in wisdom what we have lost
in reverence? Are the ethics of Jesus
or the ethics of Jane Olcott to gov.
ern the future Of America? Does fem
inism offer us only the diverse side
of the profane Jest: Trust in God,
and She will save you?"

taxes. The proposed amendment
would multiply the proportion of non

further tax the women already taxed

den. Less than one woman in "a has

Women suffrage did not prevent
Colorado from leading the country

vent Seattle from electing her red

less than $500. Woman suffrage

full Ohio suffragists maintained their
organization all of that time and never
ceased to work and agitate against dis.

In 1869 a suffrage society was
formed in Toledo, which exists today,
and is the oldest in the world. In
1872 Susan B. Anthony at Rochester,
N. Y, insisted on her right to vote,
cast q ballot, was arrested and fined,
but later released without paying the
fine. At the same time, three Toledo
women voted to make test case, but
the courts ruled against them.
The first congressional report in ia
vor of equal suffrage was secured in
1890 by the efforts of an Ohio con-
gressman, Hon. Ezra Taylor of War
rem. His daughter, Harriet Taylor
Upton is now president of the Ohio

posed. 1t came before the constitu-

supported by DR.. Norton S. Towns
hend of Lorain county. Only seven
votes were recorded in its favor.
Education Prepared the Way.
The strong bent for education that
cropped out in Ohio at an early date
was really responsible for the suffrage
movement. Thomas Wentworth Hig-
ginson once said that the woman's
suffrage cause started when the first
woman was allowed to learn the alpha
bet. Ohio men were too chivalrous
to subjugate women by keeping them
