Champion of Woman Suffrage Answers Women Who Are
Active Against the Enfranchisement of Their Sex
Riddles the "Majority of Women DO Not
Want to Vote" Argument

Mr.. Wanamaker's shop. although he Is
four or five thousand times an offender.
There are in New York city alone more
than 10000 shopgirls This manner OF
self-support for women seems accepted
and the objections forgotten.
II Is roughly estimated that there are
100000 trained nurses (women) In Eng
land and the United States. There II no
organization which does more good or Is
more honored than the Red Cross 80
clety. But when Florence Nightingale
in 1854 went to the Crimea with hand
ful of other women to nurse the
wounded and to organize the hospitals
there was an cutlery against her action.
Women in particular protested. She
faced nothing short OF a hurricane OF
abuse. She was publicly reproached for
being guilty Of so unwomanly an act,
OF such an outrage upon the modesty OF
her sex, as to introduce women into
hospitals where common soldiers lay III
and dying" But there Is nothing so
convincing az success. A few months
later at Scutari she had 10000 men I'M
der her charge and the death rate had
been lowered from ~ per cent. to 2 per
cent. She was the pioneer who suffered
but who made the way possible for the
great Red Cross societies OF to-day.
A little earlier. here in America In
1876. another pioneer was suffering
Elizabeth Blackwell wanted to study
medicine. She applied for admittance to
the Medical College of Geneva. n. Y
The faculty put her request to vote of
the students. To the great surprise of
everybody they unanimously decided to
admit her.
For the full term Of her course, three
years. no woman in the boarding house
in which she lived spoke to her She
was ostracized by all the women In the
, town. and when they passed her on the
streets they would pull their skirts aside
for fear Of contamination. She was the
first graduated woman physician in the
world. The price she must have paid
for opening the way to the 10000 women
physicians OF America cannot he esti-
mated.
Some of our Western States now re-
quire women physicians on the boards
of hospitals and asylums. Their SER
vices are recognized as so necessary
| that here in New York city a sum OF
money is at present being popularity

1Y SHOULDN'T WOMEN VOTE? ASKS MRS. WFIlEF4OOSE

Under the common law fathers hava ~
sole right of control over children. Th.y
can take or will them away from the
mothers In Massachusetts there was
a struggle Of more than fifty years TO
remedy this injustice to women. The
Massac h usetts Association opposed to
the Extension OF Woman Suffrage is
sued leafiet condemning the eoual
guardia nship law about to be passed In
that State.
Women have not been alone In on.
posing the benefits about TO be con-
terred upon them. Nor were the negroes
who fought against their liberty the
only men who have objected to being
enfranchised. In England in 1884 there
was bill to enfranchise agricultural
laborers meeting was called to pro-
test. At the meeting there was group
OF farm hands. and their spokesman got
up and said that such as he knew moth
ing Of government and the interests OF
the agricultural iaborers would be hes.
looked after Ivy leaving the vote in the
hands Of the gentry.
As Is shown by the history OF all "a.
forms, II is inevitable that there should
he societies of women opposed to their
own acknowledgements. Women have
been trained, long and consistently. 70
leave every problem OF importance 70
the supposedly superior male. This
training has made It's impress upon
them. They are conservative. None
OF the reforms which have taken plac.
in the past century in regard TO women
would have been accomplished II IL had
been necessary for a majority Of women
to be in its favor.
The Impressive thing about ne
woman suffrage movement is not only
that there are so many people IN favor
OF IL but that so many have been
aroused to express their approval and
to take an active part. When the las.
petition in favor of woman suffrage Was
presented TO the New York State Leg
islature there were 10000 signatures
upon IT, The petition opposing 1t bore
$4,000.
1t IL roughly estimated that IN the
United States there are between eight
and nine millions Of people who wan,
woman suffrage. counting them by The
organzat ons that have Endorsed it.
In no cause has there ever been 50
many petitions circulated.
1t seems. therefore. in view OF the op-
position which all reforms meet and <
the consistent inactivity of the major
ity of women. that the contention Of the
anti-sufraglsts that women shouldn't
vote until the majority want % vote
should have no weight.
"Sir. have we not got along for 80,
years, and shall we change now?'

HOUSE.

HOUSE.
"HE anti-suffragists say that
women shouldn't vote because
L the majority of women do not
want to vote.
II may be asked: How do the anti
suffragists know that the majority do
not want to vote? The majority has
never said So. II has. rs usual. re-
manned quiet. There are. however.
many more women who have expressed
themselves in favor OF voting than
against II. Whenever petitions have
been sent to State Legislatures In regard
To woman suffrage there have always
been more signatures on the suffrage
petitions than on those opposing and In
most cases from fifty to hundred times
as many.
That there are women who are active
and determined against their own en-
franchisement should be no surprise.
Every Improvement in social conditions
has always been opposed. and opposed
by some members OF the class to be
benefited.
Many negroes fought in the civil war
against their own liberty. Although
public opinion in the South was OPP
posed to negro enlistments, and such
enlistments We're refused there were
slaves who through fraud or deceit
Joined their masters and fought in the
ranks. They prided themselves on their
LOYALTY to the established order and be-
lieved themselves because of this
loyalty superior to the runaway negroes
who wanted 10 be free.
There were negroes too VINO had
been made timid through their long en-
slayement and who were frightened by
the thought Of the responsibility ~
providing for themselves. They shrank
from the burdens Of liberty in the same
manner, but with more reason perhaps
than the women who are protesting to-
day against the imposition of political
responsibilities upon women in addition
to those they already have"

An Ex-Covernor's View Of Capital Punishment

~ murder, in case over which
he presided while on the bench:
"'Thc penalty which the law at
tachcs 10 your offense is one which
my private judgment does not ap-
prove; for do not believe that cap
ital punishment is the best means
TO enforce the observance of the
law. or that, in the present state Of
society, II is necessary for its pro-
lection. But ] have no more right,
for that reason, TO refuse TO obey the
law. than you have TO resist it,
In the four cases in which ex-
tended clemency there were pal
liating circumstances that seemed
10 justify executive mercy. In the
other two there was no fact or cir
cumsiance upon which 10 base such
action. and permitted the sentence
Of the court 10 be carried out. But
TO my dying day | shall not be able
To acquit or Justify the law that i'm
posed the lawful responsibility up
on me.
The death penalty is inconsis-
tent with the highest principles Of
American penal codes or constitu-
tons.
1T Is part Of the old penal sys-
tenn Of torture and OF bodily mutt
lation. "A system fouuded upon re-
tribution. II belongs 10 the days OF
the Inquisition, the wheel and the
rack. the stake and the fagot; to the
hatred and the furies Of a time long
gone. fitting only the iron hand OF a
Nero. the metallic soul OF a Bis
marck. Depending for its author
ity upon what dead men have writ
ten in old books, IL has no place
among the Just. merciful, and
solemn enactments of a free, en-
lightened and Christian people"

Other interesting landscapes about
Berea are its dump heaps. | have
during the last few weeks looked
long, II not lovingly, at some of
these. Some Of them are, like the
weather or a tart temper, subject to
sudden changes, but some enjoy the
rare distinction OF permanence.
They have been here so long that
they have become landmarks 10 as
sure the traveller that Berea is the
same place he visited some years
ago. The other day l walked past
one spot on Chestnut Street with
note book in hand and stopped to
look at the various articles that lie
waiting the touch Of a gentle hand
and the sound Of q voice that has
long been still. I saw there piles Of
rocks, tar barrels, tools of various
kinds, stoves that have been re-
tired from active service, old chairs,
bed springs, kindling and heaps Of
excelsior, wrecked beds and other
things that would add great deal
of beauty 10 the spot il they were
not there. walked down Railroad
Street and took note Of the scenery
lying behind and around one Of the
restaurants. There were ash heaps
and barrels and wagon wheels, lard
cans with battered cOuntenances,
oyster cans, pickle bottles; oatmeal
boxes, cracker boxes, soap boxes
and boxes Of various other profess
sions; there were other kinds of
rubbish and nth OF various degrees
OF beauty all mixed higledy -piggledy
with the mud and the water and the
