In that the fundamental princi-
pals of woman suffrage is the destruc-
tion of the family, no one can doubt.
This is the teaching Of the socialists,
the anarchists, the feminists and the
"liberals." This Is what Alice Hub
bard says in "The Fra" September,
1914:
"Best Of all, woman is ceasing to
assume that she is the helpmeet of
men, that she is a dependent. She is
recognizing and stating the fact that
she is an entity.
"And this is now what woman is af-
firming, not assuming, just as man
has.

dent in my thinking and in my acti-

New York Sun comments edi-
torially:
"The Safroth case is especial
ly interesting in view Of it's bear
ing upon woman suffrage. The
women Of Colorado enjoy the
right to vote, and the record in
the Boynge-Safroth contest
shows that they were the perpe-
traitors of the frauds; and they
were the repeaters and vote
buyers, and that they padded
the polling lists and stuffed the
ballot boxes"
Miss Annie Book, former Sec
rotary of the California Politi-
cal Equality League, the larg-
est suffrage organization in CAL
ifornia, also secretary Of the Col
lege Equal Suffrage League who
has been registrar, precinct cap
tain and worker at headquarters

ment at a federal hearing at
Washington.

en- pages of the November number Of
that most conservative Of American
magazines, The Century. May I use
it as a starting point from which to
explain frankly-but, I hope, without
out exaggeration-the grounds on
which is based the deepening hostili-
ty Of many earnest ome to woman
! suffrage. 49,
Those of us who were watching the
woman suffrage movement twenty-five
years ago, with misgivings are finding
our fears justified. "More than vot-
ing" is implied. A group of ardent
leaders are saying SO boldly. Mrs. Wiz
fired Harper Cooley, in a two-page ar
ticle on 'The Younger Suffragists,"
in Harper's Weekly on Sept. 81, SCOTS
good naturally at the suffragists who
"claim the vote as wives and moth
ers,' as homemakers' and 'heipmeets.'
and at a public which ~applauds the
attitude as agreeably. housewifely"',
The older women, she says, have not
kept ahead of the times" and she
points with obvious approval to those
and worst of all has for it's basis the
merest tool, a means to an end, that
end being complete social revolution.
In this revolution one Of the first
steps is to be "the complete economic
independence of women" Common as
this phrase has become, I am con-
WINGED that many women must hear
it without realizing it's meaning. It
means that not only unmarried wo-
men, but wives, shall actually earn
their WI living, with the very brief
est possible intervals for maternity,
and shall feel their ~self-respect inn
paired if they do not "a possible al
tentative is to have motherhood sub
sidize by the state, but of that we
hear comparatively little.1 MANY wo-
men believe it is absurd for an able
bodied woman to be supported by a
man." says Mrs. Cooley. - Il The
loss to childhood from such a change
in the home as would be involved in
the mothers going out as a bread
winner is obvious. The loss to man
hood is almost equally so. The bold
and clear sighted writer of The Cen
fury, already quoted, admits this with
perfect candor.
There are ominous changes, already
in woman's standards. I do not mean
convention standards; I do not mean
women's drinking and smoking;. I.
mean more vital matters. A shrewd
observer of modern tendencies said to
me the other day, '"The feminist would
do away with prostitution by making
all women unchaste." They are harsh
words. But I had read the week be-
fore a review-copy Of a book which Is

Los Angeles voted on local option, and

Richard Barry was delegated
BY the Ladies' Home Journal to
ascertain conditions in Colorado
regarding Woman Suffrage. The
magazine published the follow
ing account as related by Mr..
Barry:
"The Denver election was pre-
coded some months before by a
meeting Of the womens political
organization at which the wo-
men fought with fists. At the
election in May, 1910, the sale
Of women's votes was open and
shameless. At each of the I'll
voting precincts in Denver there
were four women working in the
interests of the saloon keepers.
These women had previously Wis
tied the headquarters Of the sa-
leonkeepers and openly accepted
each a ten dollar bill for her SER
vices. I saw $17,0O0.00 paid to
women voters, who apparently
made no effort to conceal it, as
indeed it would have been use
less"
Mrs. D. Bryant Turner, in the
Denver Republican:
"Why should women be ex-
pected to purify politics? AL
though it is very f1attering the
fact is that women are no better
than men along any lines"
DR.. Helen l.. Sumner, for the
Equal Suffrage Association of
New York, spent two years of
research in Colorado. In her
book Equal Suffrage" she
says:
"The effect of the women
vote upon party politics has
been slight. Woman's sense of
honor has been blunted. Wo-
men have been made holder and
more self-assertive. A county
chairman over his own signature
testifies, In the last campaign

FOLLOWING FACTS DISPROVE
THE CONTENTION:

So many of u people are beng
misled on the liquor question by the
~suffragists that it is well to submit
some facts on the subject. In no state
in which woman have voted on the
question has state wide prohibition
eve been adopted. Nine states where
men alone voted have state wide pro-
hibition. November 5, 1912, Colorado
voted on the statewide prohibition;
1881 votes were cast for the measure
and 116,774 against. (See page 1856,
Abstract of Votes, compiled from Off
cial returns by James B. Pearce, Sec
rotary of. state, Denver, Colo.) If IS
per cent of the women over Fl years
Of age in Colorado had voted for pro-
hibition the measure would have be-
come a law by 6,012 majority without
out a single male vote being cast for
prohibition, there being 213,425 wo-
men over Fl years of age in Colorado.

Wyoming legalized gambling 70,

ment," backing away IN sheer disgust
as the false basis of woman's demand
for equal rights-and unequal respons
ibilities-reveals her unitness ethical
ly, morally and materially to occupy
the position she vaguely defines but
fiercely demands. Have not her past
nonconstructive contributions to world
endeavor left her, as in the nature of
things peculiar to her they are likely
to leave her for ages to come, wholly
u%nprepared to acquit herself in that
masculine forum behind whose some

with which he has surrounded himself.
"That she is destroying all ideals

ship, does not seem to affect the mod
ern woman, who is sprawling along
wildly after an horizon beyond which
she can neither see nor conceive her
duty or fate.
"What has infected the woman Of
the twentieth century? In the din
and madness of her present fight to
intermeddle with affairs outside the
sphere wherein she has labored and
idled, ignored opportunity and denied
her content, the nobler ideals, the
companionship and the subtlest lures
between the sexes are being shattered.
And with it all, women demands what
she thinks she wants, not because she
has any proof of her ability to exer.
else these new rights wisely or to the
greater advantage Of those to whom
she owes the duties of wife and moth

mans ruder sphere, wish to abandon
a domain wherein they have so often
ruled without success, they should at
least apply the acid test to their pre-
tensions. I can hear a hundred deris-
i've retorts to that proposition. Never
theless, neither men or women can
safely covet the jobs of the experts OF
industry. science, art and government
without bringing qualifications abreast
of aspirations and envy. The new
world women seek will, within a de-
cade, stagger them back into the
homes they have devastated. Thei,
return will be too late. Unmothercd
childhood and uncontrolled manhood
will have been alienated. We shall
