Mother Jones" spoke to 500 per-
sons at q meeting held under tn 4
auspices OF the Harlem Socialists
Forus in Pabst's coliseum, One Hun
dred and Tenth street and Fifth avg
nue.. New York. She said that woman
suffrage In Colorado was a failure.
Women have been voting out there
for twenty-One years." she said, "and
it is the most oppressed state In the
Union. Many of these women voters
only think Of going to the latest tan
go, wearing their jewels. arranging
their hair in the most becoming way
and getting their photographs in the
Sunday papers"
II seems that out in Colorado
where the we'll known woman has the
justly celebrated vote. one candidate
for office has frequently been discoV-
cred holding the calf for the farmer
while the other candidate was hold
ing the baby for the farmers wife.

SUFFRAGIST MAKES
CANDID ADMISSION

Miss Jane Addams in her book, "a
New Conscience and an Ancient Evil"
verities the claims Of the women who
are opposed to suffrage, that both
women and children are better pro.
tected in the non-suffrage states than
they are in the suffrage states. On
page 81 she says: Massachusetts, is
the only state which has appointed a
special commission to consider the es-
tablishing of minimum wage boards,
although the industrial commission of
Wisconsin is empowered to investi-
gate wages and their effect upon the
standard of living" On page SO she
states: "The very existence of a seq
regated district under police regula-
tions means, of course, that the ex.
listing laws must be nullified or at
least rendered totally imperative"
Miss Adams probably was not con-
scious that she exactly described con-
ditions in Denver and Salt Lake City
(both Of suffrage states), and the
only cities in the United States where
public stockade is set apart.
DR.. Helen Sumner, also a noted suf-
fragist, confesses: 1T is impossible
to see that equal suffrage has had
any effect upon the social evil" In
Denver, Colo, the social evil is more
brazenly open, more extensive, than
in almost any other city in the United
States, and womensha in fact made
little effort in this direction. Wom-
ems votes have about as much to do
with this condition of affairs as a
twelve-year-old child with the consti-
tuition of the United States.
Judge Lindsay, advocate of woman
suffrage, says on page 307 of "The
Beast: "The women leaders in poll
tics are politicians, when they get
their nominations from corporate
machines they do the work of the cor
porations-wOmen in politics are hui
man beings-they are not ministering
angels of an ETHEREAL variety, and they
are unable to free us because they
are not free themselves"
Yet suffragists keep up the cry,
that with the ballot in the hands of
women the social evil will be abol-
ished. knowing full well that they
are making promises which they can
not keep.

OF all things mundane would result
Here are some gems culled from
her latest ebullitions:
"The poor woman has too much
work to devote the proper thought
and time to the baby, and the rich
woman has too much play. The baby
garten is the answer"
"As long as each individual mother
takes care of her own children, no
body of women willing to give their
lives to the study of children are go
ing to be able to get any experience" T"
Here is your chance, all you moth
ers who consider baby.rearing q bur
den. Turn over your troublesome
charges to this body Of women to
practice onto Gilmanize, as II were.
Divorce is one of the marks Of
growth in the civilized world today
declares Mrs. Gilman.
stop cooking for John" is her or
der to housewives.
THE home of today is o permanent
check upon the growth OF humanity.
Every other business has developed
faster than we do at home. We hear
so much about home cooking, but
there are more diseases which come
from bad cooking at home than from
any other cause"
What more wholesale !condemna-
tion of her sex can be- imagined
What more Illuminating confession
regarding the Shortcomings Of women
than is contained in the sentence,
Every other business has developed
faster than we do at home" Know
ing this fact; making public coMfes-
sion before the world to woman's neg
ligence, yet, Mrs. Gilman gives WON
ans emancipation as the one antidote
for all the diseases brought about by
her bad cooking.
More divorces, baby gartens for, In
fants, community homes for the older
child, community kitchens for the
family and denatured motherhood
with Wholesale economic independ'
ence of women, are the main spokes
On which the wheels of progress must
turn, else they will not turn at all.
Get rid of the fat baby with the
bow and arrow" is her advice. These
are the theories that suffragists all
over the world are accepting and
futhering-the gospel Of Charlotte
Perkins Gilman.

If You Own Cows

1t will not only be interesting but it
will be profitable for you to read that
little national dairy magazine. Kim
balls Dairy Farmer. 1t is published
semi-monthly at Waterloo, Iowa, the
hub of the great dairy region of the
central west. 1t is ably edited, well
printed on good book paper and hand
somely illustrated by actua! photo
graphs taken exclusively for it. Its
purpose is educational and to the man
who would make his cows yield larger
profits, this little magazine is indis-
pensable. Regardless of how many
other papers the farmer may take, this
one is worth many times its price to
him. The subscription price is only
so cents year, and the paper will
positively be discontinued at expira
ton. Send for sample copy.

we upon the shore ask 1t for ourselves

The Strong Man looked very grave.
and then he said "You speak of
right. BY what right do you attempt
to call the great majority of women
from the sphere of women's work,
with which they are content, and seek
TO force them against their will to
share the work Of men upon the open
sea. You are not wise and you are
not fair. You are but little band Of
over Jealous souls. The scores OF
women yonder in the village who are
rearing their children, purifying the
home, elevatihg society, directing the
schools and caring for the sick, are
doing far more for the general good
than you who want. for yourselves
and for them, the perils of the sea.
OF you there are 28, of them there are
971. Thank God their majority is so
large"
And the Strong Man turned slowly
away and he and his oarsmen got
into the boat andsheaded for the open
sea, and as they went the Few Wom-
en- called after them, and said many
things which the men were grieved to
hear. But, after all, 1t did not matter
much, because there we're only such
a Few Women ON the shore shouting
and there were SO many In the village

WOMAN SUFFRAGE AND
ITS PARENT, SOCIALISM
DeLeOn Calls Movement Breath
Of Social Revolution.

Woman suffrage was originally in
troduced into our country by Popu-
lists and Socialists and afterwards
the Mormonists formed third factor.
What is bred in the bone," ETC.,
las proved true and Socialism, today,
being responsible for every particle
of woman suffrage in this and every
other country, is still assiduously
fathering the movement.
Daniel DeLeon, the great Socialist
leader, says in a special to the New
York World: 1T is an optical illusion
to suppose that woman suffrage can,
today, be obtained separately from
the Socialist republic. If woman suf-
frage is anything it is the breath of
the social revolution"
That the suffragists acquiesce in
and appreciate the help of the Social
lists is evidenced by the increased
vote for socialism in the suffrage
states. In the four states of Colorado,
Idaho, Utah and Wyoming the total
Socialist vote in 1909 for president
was 2O,S94 and the vote in 1912 was
4O,193, showing a Socialist gain much
larger than the average gain in three
fourths of the states. In California
the Socialist vote in 1908 was 2S,6G9,
with woman suffrage it jumped to 49,
201 in 1912. Washington, which gave
the Socialist party 14,177 votes In
1908, gave with woman suffrage a
vote of 40,134 in 1912,
The suffrage parade at Washington
was largely composed of Socialists
waving the red flag and marching to
the music of the Marseillaise. "One
million Socialists work and vote ifor
woman suffrage" was the inscription
on banner carried In the New York
suffrage parade, November IL, also a
banner bearing the significant slogan,
Every Socialist is 0 woman suf.

GRASS TACKS

Since woman suffrage iS a theme quite
largely talked about,
Suppose we get right down to tacks and
pound the matter out;
We note that all the magazines and press,
whene'er we scan,
Set forth the fact that woman Is superior
to man.
We have no wish to contradict we mere
ly ask of you
Which sex is the more honest, the more
truthful. of the twof
And which, discussing candidates in heat
OF party strife,
Would drag in hidden secrets OF the vic
TINS private life?
Which sex before the custom house would
smuggle, nothing Ioath?
And which regards more Solemnly the
taking OF an oath?
Which sex in public meetings shows the
greater dignity?
And which conforms more strictly to
laws parliamentary?
Which sex in times Of crisis all its
strength and wit conserves?
And which gives way Historically to
fainting fits and nerves
Which sex would haunt the parlors Of the
fortune telling seer,
TO learn just how election would proceed
the coming year?
Do men rush forth on bargain day and
push with frenzied greed,
To buy and buy, because they're cheap,
the things they never need?
Which sex displays in choice OF dress a
judgment safe and sane?
And which trips forth in winters chill
garbed a la window pane!
Which sex Is quite content to wed .
wholesome Yankee girl?
And which with papas ducats buys an
antiquated earl?
We have no wish to contradict. but many
terse suggestions
Find lodgment in the public mind
through well directed questions.

vote of the male. electorate east OF
the Mississippi river. Not one of the
New England states, not one Of the
middle states, not one of the south
ern states, and not one Of the middle
western states, has given full suffrage
to women"
The New York Sun of May Z says
e1itorially:
Perhaps the worst blow yet struck
at woman suffrage Is the assertion
made by Mr.. ]. B. Malin Of Denver
that it is responsible for the condi-
tion of armed insurrection recently
prevailing in Colorado. The state gov
ernment, he says, is weakened by
thirty years of woman suffrage, which
has succeeded in eliminating the
strong and placing the weak in Of
fee Whether Mr.. Malin be correct
or not in his discrimination Of the
cause, there can be no doubt as to the
fact. The government of Colorado has
shown itself weak to the level of i'm

that this is one of the results Of wom-

with tAe liquor interests. Inez Mil

THE Anti-Suffrage league is en-

stances accepted financial support
from the National Brewers associa-
ton"
Mr.. Hugh Fox, secretary Of the
Brewers association published the
following statement: "The lady is alb
solutely wrong. The Anti-Suffrage
association has never been endorsed
by us nor have we contributed any
money, directly or indirectly, to their
cause, nor have we been asked to do
: so, ALTHOUGH WE HAVE HAD AP-
PEALS FROM THE OTHER SIDE."
The San Francisco Chronicle says:
Chicago fears that woman suffrage
may vote her dry" A survey OF
states and counties having woman
suffrage shows that far more are
wet" than dry"
DR.. Clarence True Wilson, promi-
nent temperance leader, states in the
Portland (Ore.) Telegram: "As a
prohibitionist, am consistent in op-
posing woman suffrage, because no
state has adopted it without setting
back, the temperance cause twenty

more women than men voting, went

of Pasadena, which was. dry through
out its entire history, goes wet with

When an effort was made In Col

it unlawful for them to be served

ANTI-SUFFRAGE ACTIVITIES
IN OHIO.

The anti-suffrage campaign in Ohio
is going forward under the leader
ship of Mrs. H. E. Talbot, the state
president. The state is divided into
three sections to facilitate the work,
with Miss Lucy J. Price as field sec
retary Of the northern division, Miss
Clara e. Markeson. field secretary OF
the middle or central division, and
Mrs. Florence Gof Schwarz, field sec
retary Of the southern division. Mrs.
Schwarz is also business secretary Of
the Cincinnati and Hamilton County
association, one Of the most active
oganizations of the state. This asso.
citation has most thoroughly cam.
paigned Hamilton county, distribut-
Ing thousands Of parcels of literature

half Of seven daughters who might
have responsibilities thrust upon
them. 1t is my duty to protect them
and to place them in that sphere OF
duty and activity where they can do
the most good for themselves, and for
the country at large. | am hoping
to teach them that their great duty
to the state lies within the construc-
tion department of the government.
l consider that the women of this
country are responsible for the stuff
of which government is made. The
unit of civilization is the home and
nothing should be done to divert the
women from their God-gven duties to
the home and to their children"
These are the principles on which
Mrs. Talbot bases her opposition to
woman suffrage and the reasons why
she, today, is leading defensive re-
sistance for the 80 per cent of the
women of Ohio who have no desire
for the ballot.
