Much bosh is said and written
about woman's voting. Government
ally little difference would result. If
politics Is too filthy for no
gentleman can engage in it. These
folks worrying about woman losing
her "charm" if she votes do not rave
over the degrading influence Of the
washtub, of the hoe, and of the slav-
ing toll in the home. The Wave Is
glad to see woman invading every
vocation known to man. Woman can
sell goods, run offices, engage in
trade, do anything 4 gentleman can
do, and still retain her sweetness,
purity and charm. God speed the
day when man and woman go hand
in hand in every vocation-the day
when one standard will be set for
both. If woman is weak nothing
will strengthen. her but responsible
lty. If a woman wants to vote no
just power will interfere.
