Gloucester. The giant" faction of opinion
held forth loud and long, brandishing, TO clnch
their argument, the statement in the BOOK oi
Genesis. that: There were giants IN those
davs." For some reason or other the clergy
regarded giants as extremely sinful, per Sc and
many cleric Illuminated from the pulpit
against this rank heresy Il is pity that none
OF these mammoth sermons have been pre-
served for the edhcation of a sophisticated
posterity. Bishop Hakewell was particularly
Jealous in this campaign. He labored,' con
temporaneous writer assures us, with great
earnestness 10 prove the bones were not those
of a giant, assigning them to an elephant
brought into Great Britain by Claudius."
ONE MAN SPEAKS UP: He IS GREETED
WITH PLAIN LANGUAGE.
A mass Of mammoth bones, dug up at Crems,
Austria, in 1645, was held to be the remains OF
a giant. DR.. Behrens, leading scientist OF the
day. wrote The tallest man we know OF was
Og. King Of Basan, whose bed is said, in
Deuteronomy, chapter ILL., TO have been
eighteen feet long; now, allowing the bed 70
be but one foot longer than the man, Og was
seventeen feet high" A celebrated skeleton
was excavated at Tonna, in Gotha, in 1896,
from the depth OF fifty feet. It's tusks were
eight feet long. The scientific world held that
it was merely an earthly phenomenon Teut-
zel, librarian to the ruling Prince Of Gotha, had
the courage to assert that it was an elephant
and was told that he was an ass.
A large section Of European public opinion,
especially in Italy and Great Britain, used to
maintain that mammoth remains were relics OF
the military elephant equipment of Pyrrhus and
Hannibal. The Teutons went one better, about
200 years ago, when they held that a mammoth
skeleton, excavated in the north Of Germany, at
a depth of fifty feet was the very elephant
Halroun FL Raschid, our old Bagdad friend
sent to Charlenagne the Great, 900 years ago.
Hannibal" however, was the terse eXplana
ton rendered to account for the big find at
Kanstadt, in Wurtemburg, in 17Oo when, on
the bank OF the Neckar a soldier found re
mains yielding sixty tusks. (In 1916. thirteen
tusks, the biggest of which was eight feet long,
with base diameter OF foot, and some jaws
were unearthed only quarter OF a mile away,
but by then even German science had taken
ccgnizance of the mammoth)
Cuvier was the man who nailed the Roman
war elephant" fallacy to the mast. In 1896 he
proved by minute but incontrovertibe an
atomical differences that mammoth bones and
teeth could not have belonged to any living
elephant. He was roundy abused by the mass

cation When it was concerned with a state
religion. religious aflliation was the quafca-
ton. When it concerned itself with group or
racial welfare, membership in that class or
that race was the qualification. When it CON
Germs itself with sex welfare, membership in
that sex is the logical ground for exclusion
But when it concerns itself with human wei
fare. existence as a rational human being is
the only qualification.
Many familiar reasons have been urged for
the denial of the ballot TO women who have
participated in the government only through
indirection, through influence. Instead OF di-
rectly doing what they consider right women
must convince men and persuade them to do
what they want done. 1t is waste of energy
it is humiliating to women who live and work
shoulder to shoulder with men. l. is sanction
of distinction not justified by the nature and
functions of government.
Not only is the distinction unjustihed under
present conditions, but it constitutes menace
to the welfare of the wage earning women
This classification as somehow different and
not member Of the body polite has become
embedded in the individuality Of the masses
Of women and has silenoed initiative. The
theory handed down from the military ages
that women are weaker than men and must
be protected has had its effect upon the
thought and the mental attitude Of to-day. But
democratic government is not founded upon
force. but upon consent. There is something
greater than force-creative faith, that is more
essential TO good government That is not
matter of sex, but of personality. The gov
ernment needs the women as much as they
need the ballot.
Women's lie has been revolutionized dur
ing the last two hundred years Their intel
lectua similarity to men has been recognized
in equal and identical educational opportuni
ties Industrial changes have developed for
them similar and identical industrial prob
lens. Women have become wage earners.
Work that formerly was done in the homes has
been taken 70 factories, shops and stores.
Women's work has always contributed 20 the
family income; in former years the contribu
ton was in the form Of assistance IN work or
family comforts, now il is in the money form.
The work takes women outside the protec-,

for the right of the ballot. The denial OF the
ballot means exclusion and limited power, that
those denied are somehow different from the
others. and consciousness OF that recognized
difference becomes a part Of the individuality
of those excluded from the right The ballot
IS the instrument for realizing democracy.
Democracy is an old word-it is an ideal that
has fred the ardor OF many. But the old term
has stood for a constantly widening concept.
Others early tried 10 establish democracy.
To the Athenians democracy was founded
upon slavery; their ballot was given only TO
a privileged leisure class But this early idea
OF government by the people was concep-
ton linked with that OF the city state. Later
u was conceived as possible for national gov
ernments and larger territories The concep-
ton OF the purposes Of government widened.
Government was instituted TO protect property,
later 10 protect life. This second junction mas
assumed increasing importance as societys
anDreciation Of the value OF human lie has
been perfected This function and all OF Its
rami6cations have proved 20 be as manifold
and as diverse as the interests OF all the peo-
nle. Since government does touch the people
so closely there is no longer reason for deny
ing them voice in controlling government
The ballot is the means by which participation
in the government is secured
When government was concerned with prop
erty. property ownership was the qualihcahon

ton Of the home into the factories or the
stores or the mills where they must rely upon
their own efforts
Women are for the time being at least
part Of the industrial world. According TO the
last census more than eight million women
are gainfuy employed. The industrial world
is no place for those who cannot protect
themselves. Women must learn 10 take their
work seriously and to solve their own prob
lens Though their individual connection with
employment may be temporary. yet the EN-
ployment Of women is not temporary. Women
must learn that work problems are concerned
with life problems of tremendous importance
TO other women and the race. They must feel
Individual responsibilities as members Of So
ciety. To do this they must assume the dignity
and the responsibility of determining the regu-
laton Of society.
Many OF the regulations concern the rela-
tions with employers and conditions Of work.
1t is imperative for personal freedom that con
troll of these be retained by the workers.
Control over the labor power Of free women
must be vested in those women. AS individuals
they are powerless to make terms OF work with
employers in large industries. But united in
unions they are collectively strong enough to
force employers TO accept just terms. This
has been done without the ballot, but it has
been struggling against unnecessary difficulties
