Husband and Wife

More than rs per cent OF the women of
Nebraska are married. II the homes OF
these women are to be represented in
politics, these women will have to vote as
their husbands vote. A wife who votes
against her husband DISTINGUISHES him
All she accomplishes by going to the
polls Is to tie his hands One vote nulli-
flies the other and both may as well stay
at home. Wives will be forced to dupli-
cate or Illustrate the votes of husbands.
II is obvious that no partnership nor CO.
operative society could long exist where
the partners or members were rivals in
stead OF allies-even in a game. OF bridge
partners do not neglect each others in
terest and each others signal, or II they
do they lose the game. Suffragists may
foresee a society and marriage customs
in which such conditions prevail, but they
would never last long and would eventu-
ally be dealt with like mutiny on board
a ship-by firm discipline-and the strong
est would triumph. In any real appeal
to force man is stronger than woman; in
any actual industrial competition man can
endure longer than woman. The object
for which he endures is removed, how
not his helpmate and ally-and in that

STEPHEN S. WISE
TALKS ON WOMEN

Rabbi Wise, who breaches in Carnegie
hall in New York every Sunday, is one OF
the most ardent suffragists who lifts up
n telling voice for the cause of woman's
enfranchisement. The following are ex-
tracts from recent sermons:
Il hold that the absence of women from
The councils of state is partially II not
largely responsible for the continuance OF
the plague of war upon earth. Is 1t less
than incredible that six or seven nations
are engaged in the greatest war that the
world has ever known and not woman
In all those lands has been consulted as
to whether war or peace should be, though
tens of thousands of men of women born
have died and the last great terrible cost
of war in lifelong sorrow and suffering
will be by women borne?"
Unrest there is In womanhood today
but there is more than unrest, for the
unrest which obtains in the world OF
womanhood is symbolic of the warning oil

be none, for unrest is not a disease, but
the never-ceasing pains of growth. The
awakening is the token Of the life which

How the Forest Fires
Start
by EDGAR LUCIEN LARKIN.

9, Kindly answer this question to set
tie an argument. A says that a forest
or prairie fire can start without the aid
OF match, spark or sunglass: Il says
that fire can start by spontaneous COM
bustion. G differs from them"-H. I.
Reinnod. Woodhaven, ~ Y.
n The question Of spontaneous com
bustion is indeed one OF importance. Fires
have started from self-combustion Of lin
seed oil and cotton waste. and from saw.
dust and machine oil. And prosecution
for the crime OF incendiarlsm has been
made. Finely broken or powdered char
coal and grease at charcoal pits have
started fires that spread to adjacent
forests.
Hemp. tow, flax and such vegetable
fbers. I'm contact with oil drlpplngs from
machinery in factories. have caused fires
by igniting spontaneously. Fires have
been supposed TO be caused by jute ana
cocoanut fiber In contact with oil, But
these had been placed together through
carelessness IN mills
II Is very doubtful II such combinations
could be made by nature In a forest
Grease or linseed oil could be spilled IN
dry grass and ignite. but I am not able
TO find such accounts In any record. But
to be thus combined would be the work
Of man, not nature.

Wit and Epigram

Mrs. John Martin OF New York is one
Of the wittiest of the speakers against
feminism and suffrage in the country
today. Among her terse and true cpl
grams are the following:
THE same course of reasoning which
leads a woman to become an ardent suf-
fragist will lead her to become an ar
dent feminist ell along the line when
ever she has the courage TO follow 1t
out to its logical conclusion"
Every independent woman who takes
high salary as a substitute for a bevy
of babies is numbering posterity"
1T is better TO be a good COW than a
poor politician"
The cradle is empty that restaurants
may be filled"
when a man sells his labor to a fac
tory it does not interfere with his faith
erhood; when a woman sells her labor
TO factory It does interfere with her
motherhood"
There is really no good reason why
women should not vote, no reason at all
why they should"
'Feminism is the process of putting
father out of business. of reducing the
lord OF creation to the status of a tom
cat"
After careful perusal of the foregoing
statements 1T will cause no surprise to
say that in feminist and suffragist cir
cles Mrs. john Martin is, TO put it mildly,
less loved than feared.

Women as Jurors

Giving votes to women does not mean
that women shall be required to serve
on juries. The two things arc distinct
The qualifications of voters are fixed by
section ] of article vii OF the constitu-
ton, which gives votes to males. This
is about to be amended so that the word
males" shall he omitted. The uualifl-
cations of jurors are prescribed by stat
ute, which may be changed from time to
time without affecting the question of
voting.
The Nebraska jury law provides that
jurors shall be taken from list made
ur from "all males residing in any of the
counties of this state having the quail
fications OF electors" with certain other
limitations as to age and occupation
Thus, persons over 60 years OF age ar,
not required to serve on juries, nor min
listers, certain county officers, attorneys
physicians, druggists, letter carriers
members of the state militia and of the
fire department. II we can exempt min
listers, doctors and lawyers, who are
voters, 1t is quite likely that we can ex-
empt women when they are voters.
Without giving votes to women, laws
could be passed permitting or compelling
them 10 serve on juries. II women sit
on juries in Seattle, it is because the men
and women voters of the state of Wash
ington have decided that it is best for
women TO do so.
When the suffrage amendment carries
in Nebraska. whether women shall be
compelled to serve on juries or shall be
qualified to serve if they see fit, or shall
be absolutely exempt. can be considered
and settled by statutes TO be passed form
time to time. The only difference will
be that then women will have voice
in deciding whether they shall or shall
not sit on juries. where now they have
not. FRANCIS A. BROGAN.

A Dialogue

The following conversation took place
recently between a suffragist and an
anti-suffraGist:
Mr.. Anti-No. don't believe in woman
suffrage. I've got a ranch in Colorado
and the women don't vote. We try to
drag them to the polls but they won't
go, and I'm going TO vote against 1t IN
Nebraska (The question here arises
why the women of Colorado should be
dragged" 10 vote IL they don't wish to?
Have not they the right to stay at home
with the 100000 men in the United
States who stay away from the polls on
election dayD
A little later:
Mr.. Anti-Women in Colorado elected
judge-a bad man; women put dishonest
men in office.
Mr.. suffragist-But you said just q
little while ago they do not vote,
Mr.. Anti-No, they don't.
MIR. Suffragist-Then how are they re-
sponsible for the judges election?
No ansVar.
Mr.. Suffragist-Isn't II true that there
are several thousand more men thar
women in Colorado?
Mr.. Anti-Yes. several thousand.
Mr. Suffragist-Then II the women are
in the minority and don't vote besides
how can they be responsible for bad con-
ditions there?
No answer.
Truly. the anti-suffrage mind is a
wondrous thing and works two ways at
once.

Protection for Women

Those OF us who are advocating pro-
tective legislation for women realize that
our greatest enemies in educating public
opinion along this line are the suffra-
gists. For the suffraSists are demand
ing absolute equality before the law for
men and women.
At the last session OF the Connecticut
legislature when the fifty four-hour law
for women recommends by the industrial
commission was up for consideration the
only woman who spoke against It was a
suffragist She said women needed no
privileges and projections not needed by
men. She asked for absolute equality
and identity under the law. with the
words male and female wiped off the
statute books" No woman who, like
he writer. has punched a time clock
wants equality for men and women in
industry. Life is hard enough for the
woman who tolls. Let us try to shield
and protect her mt her task to our ut
most ability.
The Wage Farmers Anti-Suffrage
league endorses the nine-hour day for
women-but not for men: the abolition
OF night work for women--but not for
men; the prohibition of dangerous oc-
equations, such as working in mines,
running elevators, cleaning and oilinG
moving machinery handling explosives
and all occupations which require con-
slant standing. for women-but not for
men. Some slight progress has been
made in securing protective legislation
for women. although the laws are not
as yet either adequate or well enforced.
But once the law recognizes men and
women as equal. the entire fabric OF
protective legislation for women will
have the underplnnings knocked out from
under It.
We can only ask greater protection
from the laws for women than we ask
for men by admitting that women are
weaker than men and possess less en-
durance and sef-reliRnce and to add this
weakness to the fabric OF government
will only serve to weaken the govern
ment and lessen the protection which 4
accords TO every one alike. women as well
as men. MARJORIE DORMAN.

powdered boric acid Is the best agent for
doing this. If the dead skin is patiently
removed and q shoe worn that allows
proper ventilation between the toes. the
