First. the war question. Shall We

How can the liquor traffic. with all or

These three questions are related.
Settle the woman question and we have
settled the other two. Women have
done most Of all that has been done IN

Give them a chance and they Will conf

VOTE IS WOMAN'S
DUTY, SAYS WISE
Denial Surest Way to Keep
Her Unfit, Rabbi Tells
Congregation.

on the ground that the burden OF
proof rests upon those who continue to
deny the franchise TO women, DR..
Stephen s. Wise, Of the Free Syna-
gogue, told a large audience at Car
nege Hall yesterday why the vote
should be given to women.
Woman has never been disfran-
chised; she remains unenfranchised,'
said DR.. Wise. Rightly or wrongly
and believe wrongly was not
enfranchised at the founding Of the Re-
public, and the burden OF proof prop
erly rests upon those who undertake TO
maintain that woman ought TO remain
unenfranchised Half of the task OF en-
franchising the citizens Of the nation
was performed at the outset Of our his
tory; the other half remains TO be
done with the least possible delay.
Whether it be right or duty, privilege
OF burden, we ask, Why should the
franchise be withheld any longer from
women ,"
DR.. Wise answered the argument that
they are not fit to exercise the suffrage
by saying that the surest way TO keep
women unfit is 10 continue TO deny
them the right and the duty of the
suffrage.
Assuming for the moment that this
intolersbe utterance be true said DR..
Wise, "who will venture TO deny that
no people have ever been fitted for the
exercise of the franchise and the re-
sponsiblities of citizenship until after
they have wrested the right TO exercise
the franchise and to meet citizenship's
complete responsibilities?
at is also not easy to be patient with
the argument that women to-day exer-
else a considerable influence, and that
such political influence may be welded
without the acceptance of commensu-
rate political responsibility. In the in
terest of democracy. influence without
responsibility. if it obtain at all. must
be ended. If, furthermore. it be implied
that the home and the family will be
broken down By feminism which, it is
whispered. is to be the ultimate outcome
of the suffrage movement-it is well TO
remember that all the vicious interests
are opposing equal suffrage and in
some places supplying the funds with
