THAT oUILHoT VERDICT.

Evidently there was something to
the Naomi Burnside charges against
Vice SIeuth" QuilhOt, the recent
Sunday afternoon ratification meeting
at the high school auditorium not
withstanding. When jury of twelve
men finds a man guilty, the presun.p-
ton ceases to be in hIs favor and turns
against him. The public was asked
by the "ratifiers" at that Sunday af-
ternoon affair, to withhold judgment
until after the trial" We believe
that in the main it has done so. In
stead of their notifications being
ratified, however, the verdict appears
10 have been against them-against
them" being said advisedly, in view
of their apparent willingness to join
In the assumption of responsibility.
Anyone who has had any consider
able experience in dealing with the
forces of evil, and who knows any
thing of the lengths to which such
forces will sometimes go to revenge
or discredit correctional efforts, might
too. well have been justified in with
holding judgment after the trial"
Then there is the old legal assump-
ton. that "a man is presumed to be
innocent until he is proven guilty"
but now that the verdict is out-not
the decision of a justice of the peace,
but the verdict of circuit court jury
affirming the judgment of justice of
the peace,-it would seem that there
should be some public right to grow
suspicious in spite of an impending
appeal.
The fact that Naomi Burnside may
not have grown wings during her few
years of sojourning through this veil
of tears" urged so persistently by the
vice sleuth, his counsel and his
friends, in defense of his conduct,
appears not to have been regarded as
fully excusing the 'indecency" with
which he was charged, as it played
upon the minds of the jury. 1t will be
rather difficult for anyone, now that
the indecency has been proven to re-
gard it as the proper line Of conduct
or language for a vice investigator to
indulge in, addressing a girl scarcely

VOTES FOR WOMEN AND THEIR
VOTES FOR MEN.

Whether it would be much to the
final advantage Of woman suffrage for
the legislature to pass the Maston or
Rule bills. is a debatable question.
II means only a limited suffrage. but
suffrage on probation. and might re-
tard rather than enhance the cause
OF universal suffrage. To say that
women can vote for city, county and
state officers not of the constitutional
variety, and on special questions, like
local option, bond issues, ct cetera, is
giving her an opportunity to prove the
metal there is in her, but in national
and state elections especially, it will
virtually necessitate two sets of bal
lots; one for the women and another
for the men. which is bound to be
more or less cumbersome.
Still it is an admission that woman's
cause is right. This admission would
ordinarily force constitutional
amendment admitting the fairer sex
TO full suffrage, but it might be here,
as is the case in Illinois. that it will
take a long time for the women to
convince the men that the original ad-
mission was not a mistake. It might
he that instead of bringing universal
suffrage nearer. it would push il far
Their away; that Is, unless il should
prove here. as il has proven in a num-
Der of other states, that the ballot in
the hands of woman is not, after all
such a harbinger of virtue as has
been generally proclaimed.
There is no question about the part
played by women of the underworld
OF Chicago in the recent nominating
elections They may not have de-
feated the reform candidates for
mayor OF that city. but one thing is
certain. that they did not save them.
and this Notwithstanding that they
had the votes and cast a sufficient
number of them TO have effected DIFF
ferent results. Understand. we look
favorably upon full suffrage for wom-
en-. and we are not opposing limited
suffrage for them, that being as far
as the present legislature can go. but
at the same time We are not prepared
TO concede to her absolute freedom
from satanic Influences.
Yet she should have the ballot.
She has as much moral right 10 II as
man has. for all that her ideals and
determinations may not as yet have

member that she has been az a great

Nothing is more fatal than sus-

This senseless. unworthy suspicion,
this piecing together Of possible cir

vilest colors, is in reality a condition
of feminine folly, which needless
people ascribe to jealousy.
But there is a vast difference be-

should and ought 10 be resented
The former is suspicion, the latter
is jealousy and jealousy is up 10 a
