First-The question of suffrage is
a political and not a natural right
and therefore is to be conferred by
some human power. However there
can be no just or rightful distinction
based on sex
1t is not alone a question as to
whether suffrage, if exercised by wo-
men would revolutionize society," the
morals of the country or promote civic
betterment (much as these things are
desired) a S it is a question of right
under our form of government.
That question settled there is real
ly nothing left to debate. Who are
citizens? The Constitution says "All
persons born or naturalized in the
U. S. and subject to the jurisdiction
thereof are citizens of the U. S. and
of the state wherein they reside" The
question of citizenship is therefore
settled by Constitutional grant, and
what we are laboring for is the right
to clothe that citizenship with the
means of it's protection by equal au-
thority.
Our Declaration asserts that "gov-
ernments derive their just powers
from the consent Of the governed"
Herein rests the power of the govern
ment. If power is derived from the
consent of the governed-the people
this of necessity includes women as
they are governed equally with men
and are equally "citizens of the U. S.
and of the state wherein they reside"
Unlimited monarchies may discrim-
mate between their subjects but such
a course is abhorent in a republic con-
ceived in liberty and dedicated to the
purpose that call men are created
equal, deriving their just powers from
the consent of the governed"
Let us therefore go back to the De-
claration of Independence which grant
ed a representative form of govern
ment based on citizen suffrage, and
let US recognize as a living fact that
women as citizens are entitled equally
with men to all the political rights
privileges and immunities pertaining
to citizenship. Representative govern
ment means government based on the
will of the people expressed at the
polls; not some of the people, but ALI
the people who wish to express theil
desire, and on equal terms regardless
of sex.
Second-In view of the terrible wal
that is now being waged over sea-
war in which the mothers of the son!
who r being so ruthlessly slaughter
ed, were not consulted-it seems re
diculous to say there must be force
behind law to make it effective.
As if might ever made right. Ant
moreover, what has the ability tt
fight to do with the suffrage ques
ton? Either the ability to fight is {
Devils Lake world. (Devils Lake, N.D.) 1914-1915, 1914-08-27

necessary qualification for voting, or
it is not. If it is, the men who lack
that ability should be excluded from
the franchise and the lack of such
ability, is no reason for excluding
women. Not one half of the men ex-
amined at the time of the Civil Wal
were found physically fit for military
duty. 1t is safe to say that not n
man in twenty would be accepted by
the government today for military
duty should they volunteer.
William Bowditch says: 'The best
fighters, the young men between the
ages Of Is and 81, r not allowed to
vote while the wisest voters, those
over 45 years of age, are not required
to fight"
General Irving Hale of Denver says
"In Colorado, men in general, regard
the military argument against wo-
men suffrage as too absurd for SER
ious comment. If all the men who
cannot fight or do not fight should be
disfranchised, the poles would be as
lonesome as a sea bathing resort in
December"
"Think of arguing with a sober face
says Ex-Secretary of the Navy Long,
against a man who solemnly asserts
htta a woman should not vote because
she cannot fight! In the first place
she a fight; in the second place men
are largely exempt from military SER
vice; and in the third place, there is
not the remotest relation between
firing a musket and casting a ballot"
If women cannot participate in mil
itary campaigns as soldiers they make
it possible for the men to do so and
we need to remember that when a
country goes to war the whole nation
suffers and often the greatest hard
ships and toll and suffering falls, not
upon those on the firing line, but on
the women and children and those far
removed from the smell of smoke and
the horror of actual battle.
Third-The majority of women do
not want it.
The opponents of suffrage have nc
authority to say what per cent of the
women of this country favor suffrage
The movement grows so rapidly one
can scarcely keep track of new organ.
izations let alone the number of in.
dividuals. It can be remembered
there are organizations of suffragists
in every state in the Union. That
there are in the world IS newspapers
devoted to suffrage and that outside
Of suffrage organizations over fifty
millions of people have officially en-
dorsed suffrage for women; that wo'
men vote on equal terms with men il
nine states and nearly full suffrage il
Illinois, Alaska has full suffrage. L
is a fact that less than one per cen
of the women of the United State:
Devils Lake world. (Devils Lake, N.D.) 1914-1915, 1914-08-27

have expressed any objections to SUI
frage although appeals have been sent
out over the country for years urg-
ing women to protest in having the
franchise "thrust upon them" The
article last week referred to the vote
taken in Massachusetts, 10 years ago
and neglected to say that less than
one-sixth of one per cent expressed
themselves as opposed to suffrage.
The vote for suffrage stood 22,204;
against 861.
There are many women who have
given the matter little or no thought
but of those who have thought about
the subject the majority are in favor
of suffrage. When constitutional am
endments are desired by men and are
submitted to the voters j, is only lee
essary to show that more men favor
the amendments than oppose it. It
is not necessary to show that those
who favor the amendments outnumber
those who oppose it and those who
are too Indifferent to vote or do not
care. That is the unfair proposition
that the good men and women of this
state are up against. Men of every
color, every shade, every completion,
every race, have the power to go to
the polls and vote that American-born
women MAJ not have a voice in their
own government.
Fourth-It is not needed for wo-
! mems advancement.
Some people forget that every inch
of the progress of women has been
brought about by the most strenuous
effort for reforms by women and a
few men who believed in women, had
faith in them. The fight to secure for
women the right to education some
fifty years ago was more bitter than
the fight for the ballot today, and
those opposed to educating girls had
the same arguments of prophecy, of
disaster, of distress, and of evil that
the anti-suffragists have for the suf-
frage movement today. But every
door of advancement which has been
opened to women has justified the
faith of those who carried on the
strenuous reforms up to the time
when the doors were opened, that all
women might profit by it.
To put up the plea of woman's ply
steal inability as a eason for not
granting her the ballot and then al
lowing her to do a thousand and one
things that tax her strength Intimately
more than putting a piece of paper
in a ballot box and to give the nee
essary study to vote as intelligently
as those who now possess the ballot
is to make one smile at the inconsist.
ency of the ants.

men have worked for years without
getting passed in states where womer

Women Should Oppose Equal Suffrage"

of the government and upon politics.
Rising prices affect. the women far
more closely than they do the man,
and yet in this state they r denied
a vote which means a voice in the
proceedings that effect the buying
power of a dollar. Give the women a
chance to make the most of it.
Eight-Our time is already full.
Full of what? Is it all worth while
and couldn't we very easily take a
little of our time to inform ourselves
on public questions SO that we could
talk with our husbands intelligently
and give the children a little interest
in civics that will help to make the
better citizens?
Alice Freeman Palmer wrote: "How
much time must she spend on her po-
litical duties? If she belongs to the
well-to-do class and hires others to
do her work, she has time for what
ever interests her most-only let
these interests be noble! If she does
her own work she can take ten min
utes to stop on her way to market
and vote nee or twice a year. She
can find half an hour a day for the
newspapers and other means of in
formation. She can talk with family
and friends about what she reads. She
does this now; she will do it then
more intelligently and will give and
receive more from what she says and
hears. If she does this reading and
talking she will be better informed
than the majority of voters now. The
duties of motherhood and the making
of a home are the most sacred work
of women and the dearest to them of
every class. If casting a vote would
interfere with what only women can
do-and what failed in undermined
society and governments-no n will
question which a woman must choose.
But it cannot be shown that there are
any large number of women in this
country who have not the necessary
time to vote intelligently, and it can
be argued that study of the vital
questions Of our government would
make them better comrades to their
husbands and friends, better guides
to their sons, and more interesting
and valuable members of society.
Women Of every class have more
leisure than men, are less tied to the
hours of routine; they have had more
years of school training than men.
All this makes simple the combina-
ton Of public and higher duties"
As it is now women are not repre-
sented. Each young man of 81, each
bachelor Of 70 yer each husband
casts his own ballot and it should rep.
resent his W opinion and not some
other persons. That is what the bal.
lot is for, but to deny to any citi.
zen the right to that expression or
account of he r.x is undenyably un.
just.
Voting is merely a method Of
choosing the men who shall make ant
administer the laws under which mer
women and children must live ant
whenever these laws especially efec'
the duties and the sphere of womer
it is an invasion of the province o:
woman for men to pass or administer
such laws without consultation, con
sent or authorization from the mem

Immediate Action Urged

TEE1 Paris will soon have new and
imported fire fighting apparatus was
made evident at the meeting of the
Council last night when the Fire Com
mittee Of the Board was instructed to
take definite action in regard to the
purchase Of new equipment for use in
the department.
Some time ago the Council had IN
der consideration the purchase of an
autou chile fire apparatus, and a
thorough investigation Of the merits
OF tie products of the various pro-
Qucers were investigated by the mem
hers OF the Fire Committee, acting
upon -ne instructions OF the Council.
Plans and specifications OF several
high-c.ass machines were secured,
but were never submitted to the
Board. Since that time the matter
seemed to have been dropped entire
II. until last night Mayor Hinton
again took up the subject and urged
the committee to immediate action.
according to the instructions of
the Mayor, the Fire Committee is to
proceed at once upon the matter with
the one object in view of purchasing
the most improved apparatus that is
to be procured, and be ready at the
next meeting of the Council to lay
the matter before the Board, that
there may be no further delay in the
matter which has been at rest for
some time.
1t is understood that the committee
had previously decided upon a ma
chine that would meet all the re-
quirements Of the local department,
and that within the next few days
they viii have q representative Of the
auto manufacturing company on the

apparatus that the committee may be
fully prepared to explain all the mer-
its at the next meeting Of the Board.
Another matter which was Of q
very important nature, taken up by

was the consideration of laying new
streets and the repaving of Main
street from Second street to Tenth
With the approach Of spring and suit

PLANS ARE BEING
FORMULATED FOR
GENERAL CLEANING
Movement Is To Extend All
Over County of
Bourbon.
MISS HUNT TAKES
THE INITIATIVE.
Will Have Cooperation Of
Welfare League and
Health Board.

Paris and Bourbon county will have
general cleanup day during the
coming month, or at least that is
what those interested in the health
OF the community at large are work
ing on, and it is more than likely that
the plans will materialize.
Miss Emma Hunt, who has been
here acting in the capacity of a Wis
iting nurse sent out by the State Tu-
berculOSis Association is at the head
ffhe movement, and is meeting with
much encouragement from all sides,
and indications are that she will re-
ceive unlimited aid from every
source in the county.
One of the plans set forth by Miss
Hunt to further the movement and to
arouse the interest OF the citizens OF
the county, is a joint meeting Of the
County Board of Health with the
Bourbon County Health and Welfare
League.
According to Miss Hunt through
this plan the agitation looking toward
q general cleanup can be CARED to
all points Of the county through the
Health Board as well as the Health
and Welfare League, and the fact that
there are a great many members of
the later organization, the agitation
will be widespread as soon as plans
for the movement are formulated at
the meeting which will be held on
Thursday, April 2.
Only a weeks time will be had to
put the matter before the people, as
it is the plan to have the date for the
general cleaning-up on April Z, but,
notwithstanding this fact, the move
ment will eb general and the interest
for a better and cleaner county will
be widespread,
It is planned to divide the county
into four separate districts and a
committee appointed to carry On the
work. All the plans will be worked
out at the meeting to be held next
Thursday, when the most active work
looking to popular movement will be
gin, and which are expected to re
| suit in a great success.
