One Day Yhis Week.

Then-One hundred and thirty-one
years ago Newport, R. T., celebrated
Washington's birthday with the ring
ing of church bells, firing of cannon
and decorating houses and ships. So
far as is known this was the first civic
celebration Of the 22nd as Washing
tons birthday. He was born, accord
ing to the old calendar, February 18th,
1892, and he himself observed that
date, until his death in 1893.
Now-Today every State in the I'm
ion is following the recommendation
Of Congress at the time of Washing
tons death-that his countrymen meet
on February 22nd and we do honor to
his memory with fitting ceremonies
Washington is the only American
whose birthday is recognized as a leg
al holiday in all of the States and the
District of Columbia, Porto Rico and
Alaska.

TEST OF CITIZENSHIP
(From speech of Hon. John W. Aber-
crombie, of Alabama, in House of
Representatives

R0pf0S0uIaL1V0S.j
Woman's emancipation has progress
ed to the extent that she is accorded
almost every privilege enjoyed by man
In the United States there remains
but one material or fundamental ex-
ceptIon, and that relates to the ballot
Except in II of the States, she may
not vote. Why may she not vote? Be
cause of physical infirmity? No; she
performs successfully arduous physi-
cal duties. Because OF mental weak
ness? No; she wins highest honors in
our schools and colleges Because OF
lack of moral character? No; she
possesses more than her share of NOR
a1ity. Because of deficiency in patriot
ism? No; she is noble and self sacTi-
6cing in time of war Because OF ex
emption from taxation? No; her prop
erty bears the same tax rate as mans
Because of relief from obedience to
law? No. for violation of the law her
punishment is the same as that OF
man. Then why may she not vote? /?
Solely because she is a woman
The right to vote is the most potent.
and should be the most highly priced
of civic prerogatives. 1t is a right that
can not be safely exercised when it
possessor is stepped in ignorance or
wickedness or superstition, for he is
then at the mercy of passion or preju-
dice or designing men. Intelligence
and character are the essential quail
ffcations; these are possessed in equal
degree by men and women
Is there any reason why there should
be a greater barrier against voting
than against conducting a business
or managing a farm, or working in q
factory, or editing a paper, or writing
a book, or clerking in a store, or teach
ing in a school? If there is no sex in
taxation, no sex in legal punishment
no sex in business or industry, no seX
in education, why have sex in the bal
lot? Why not make intelligence rather
than sex the supreme test of citizen
ship?
