A WOMAN'S COGENT REASONS

To the Editor Of The Times Dispatch:
Sir.-So many people claim to be
Democrats, and believe in a govern
by the people, and at the same time
seem TO lose sight of the fact that
women arc people. and IT really Is n
fact. tho Supreme Court says we are,
the tax collector seems to think We
are. and we are absolutely sure that
we are. If our brothers. who were
born of the same father and mother,
are people. then surely we are.
Is it right for women to have to pay
tax and have no voice in how much
they pay, or what il is used for?
Is ii right for women to have to obey
laws she has no part in making?
A woman needs the ballot just as
much as the man, and for the same
reason--to protect her business; her
business is home making and raising
children. and ] don't know any bust
ness that needs more protection. How
can disfranchised mother control
the food Inspection, sanitation, schools,
or any other law under which her chill
dren have to live?
A mother may cook her food well,
but If tho dealers are allowed to sell
stale and unclcan goods she can not
make II wholesome for her family. Sho
may open the windows to give them
fresh air SO necessary to their well-be-
ing. but If the air is laden with con-
tagious diseases she' can not protect
them from those dangers. Alone she
can not make things right: who or
what can? The city can do 1t. the city
government that is elected by the peo-
Pile to take care Of the interests OF tho
people. Rut do all the people have n
part In eleoting the city officials? No:
only the men do. 80 it is tho men and
not the women who are responsible
for the conditions under which we live,
and the dangers our children are sub
jected TO. But women are held re-
sponsible for the results Of those con-
ditions. Why should women he held
responsible for conditions she does not
create, and has no power to correct?
II Is simple Justice to let them have
n voice In what those conditions shall
be. and there Is one simple way of do
Ing 1t. Let them vote. We can't do

Tariff HobgobIins Agnin

TWO ideas struggle now for expression in

that as political organization it is not quite
dead and the other is that presidential cam
paign will be waged next year. Whereupon
the Grand Old Party--he must have been

Shakes itself into the similitudc of life and

Raise all the tariff duties in sight" says
the G. o. p. Protect all the dear little in
FAINT industries-and the small boy in
knickerbockers industries. not to speak of
the college student industries and the full
grown man industries Guard the honest
American workingman against the pauper
labor of Europe Let us have preparedness
for peace, for unless we restore that monu-
ment Of intellectual greatness, the Payne
Aldrich tariff law, Europe will seize all Of
our business just as soon as this cruel war
is over
And so forth and so on. If the Republican
party would just get itself principal
issue other than the tariff and celebrate the
advent of presidential elections in some other
manner than by q parade of low-tariff hob
COLLINS, we should almost be willing-some
time in the distant future-to see it win.
There are side issues, of course. The New
YORK Tribune and other party organs OF its
type arc bowling now in opposition to the
European policy OF President. Wilson. The
tribune, with that passionate devotion to
exact statement for which it is famous, holds
the President responsible for every American
murdered when the Lusitania sunk the
theory being that If the nation had gone to
war with Germany some months before the
sinking OF that vessel, these particular Ameri-
cans might not have been aboard.
While the Tribune assals Mr.. Wilson for
not having gone to war with Germany, an
other element Of our citizenship abuses him
for having almost gone to war with Germany.
According TO some OF German-American
friends. the administration has been neutral
only in name. showing strong partialty for
the allies. According to the Tribune and
Colonel Roosevelt and other thinkers of the
same type, the country is forever shamed and
disgraced because it did not attack Germany
soon Belgium invaded.
1t is quite certain that the powerful minds
on one side Of this argument the other
have gone wrong, and our opinion is
that both camps are suffering from delusions.
Neither is willing k&accept an administration
that stands for law and neutral rights; each
would weight the balance with its hatreds
and prejudices.
Meantime, the American people have
formed rather carefully their opinion Of
Woodrow Wilson. They know that in a
time of extraordinary danger and peril he
has kept his country at peace. They trust
and honor him. 1t is not likely they will be
induced to take on another pilot, merely be-
cause the heather rage and imagine vain
things.

Elder brother of the Motor Chr.


Most people have n notion that the
automobile came first and furnished
the hint to some one TO build the
motorcycle. In fact. they call the latter
"the little brother of the motor car"
They forget, as maybe they do not
know, that the German inventor, Gott-
lab Daimler. the father of the auto
mobile" was also the father of the
motorcycle. In fact, the motorcycle
was the elder son, for the first ma
chine Daimler ever built was BIZ
cycle driven by a gasoline motor. That
was In 1855. Unfortunately the elder
son" was turned adrift and left to
shift for itself. while every attention
was devoted to the automobile.
For ten years the motorcycle was
all but forgotten, whle people in Eu-
rope were fairly going wild over the,
motor car. Finally. a French com
pany ventured to put on the market
"a motor-driven tricycle. When an en-
thusiastic cyclist asked them why they
did not build a motor-driven bicycle.
they informed him that it would not
be safe. Apparently they thought It
hard enough to manage a motor with
out trying to keep ones balance at
the same time.-St. Nicholas
