We Can Quite Agree With
Cardinal GibbOns-In Part

When Cardinal Gibbons announces as q
final decision that equal suffrage was not
intended by God or Nature, we agree
with him.
We doubt whether either God or Ma.
ture entered into the complex conditions
which confront man today in their origi-
nal plan.
If we are to 60 on this premise, we
will cut the ballot for man as well as
woman and all that it involves.
We no doubt will have to throw on the
scrap heap our code of morals as well, and
the various forms of governments which
have slowly evolved from the first idea
of might making right"
We would have to do away with all
pagan religions which would mean Greek
civilization and the flower of art.
They could never have been intended
by God and are. therefore. worse than
useless; in fact we would have to write
history all over again.
As for nature, we fancy it intended US
to reproduce and fight for our lives, and
was not concerned beyond a survival Of
a sufficient quantity for the species to
go on.
In a certain sense the ballot is life
preserver, in that it. gives to man the
only opportunity for free voice in a
government under whose laws he must
live.
This being conceded. nature has q
little hand in this question Of today and
women, being human beings, with souls
to be saved (else why baptize female
infants) and being obliged to live under
the same laws and governments - the
men, we have yet heard no explanation
given Of why they should be gagged and
thrown back into cloisteral seclu-
sion.
There must be another reason than
Ccd and Nature against equal rights for
Gods creatures, for these two omnipo-
tent forces have never cQndescended to
recognize the ballot in any form.
They are concerned with bigger things.
