WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

The recent election at which over
two thousand Ottumwa women went
to the polls and registered their prefer
ence in a matter of municipal policy,
did not hurt the cause of woman suf-
frage In the minds of thinking men.
On the contrary it made considerable
number of friends for the movement
and many who a week ago were in
clined to believe that voting was not
properly part of womens sphere
have changed their minds about it.
That the presence of ladies' at the
polls will effect a change, is without
doubt. In the first place they will
vast majority of these additional bal
lots will be the product Of thinking,
Intelligent women They do not go
into the polling place with their minds
befuddled with liquor and with no de-
sire other than to get out and get
another drink as soon as possible.
Though it was their first real oppor-
tunity to vote, the women of Ottumwa
did a better job than did the men.
Fewer women's ballots were thrown
out than mems and fewer o. them
cancelled their own votes by marking
yes on one of the two propositions
and mo" on the other. furthermore
there were five per cent more women
who voted on both propositions than
men; that is to say Of those who
voted on only one of the two and let
1t go at that, the men were the worst
offenders.
But probably the greatest good that
the presence of women at the polls
will bring about is the moral atmos-
phere surrounding the voting place.
Instead of being a smoke filled, grimy,
smelly place from which clean minded
and clean bodied men seek the quick
est possible escape, it will become a
clean, quiet. orderly place where

The women won't have to be active
in accomplishing this end. The men
having wives, mothers, sisters or
sweethearts who are voters, will see
that it is done. If it comes to be the
legal right Of women to vote at all elec-
tons. it will follow just as surely as
the night does the day, that the men
will make the voting places fit for
the members Of the fairer sex to go

OBEYING THE LAW,

The main object of government is
protection; protection not only from
enemies who may come armed with
swords. but from moral wrongs and
diseases as well. Ottumwa, to pro-
tect it's citizens, has certain laws re.
garding the use of the streets, the dis
posal of garbage, the use Of firearms
and many other precautions aimed to
protect the great body of the people.
Among these Is law under which
people suffering with or exposed to
contagious or infectious diseases, are
quarantined; that is they are tenn
porarily deprived of the right of ming.
ling with the other people of the city
so as not to spread the disease until
it becomes an epidemic and wipes out
the community or at least deals it a
dreadful blow. Quarantine oftimes
works a hardship on those whose lib
cray is taken away; they may be kept
from work. or from their customary
pleasures, but lack of quarantine may
mean life or death to other people.
AS a matter of moral justice, 1t is the
duty of every man woman or child VINO
may have a contagious disease, to see
that no one else is exposed to it. That
is a duty that the law makes it crime
to disregard. There should never be
need of inaicting a penalty for wilful
evasion of the quarantine laws, but II
the occasion should arise. the city Of
ficials would be justified in making
such an example Of the case that no
one else would ever repeat the Of
Tense. Punishment cannot be too
severe for person who knowingly and
wilfully exposes innocent persons to
disease. 1t is a most detestable and
base thing to do for it gives the ex-
posed persons no chance to protect
themselves, ignorant as they are OF
having been exposed. 1t is to be
hoped that no one in Ottumwa will
have to be quarantined, but if any are
it behooves, them to obey the law and
co their share to preserve the general
health of the remainder of the people.
