JUST A FORD

There was an old man and he had a
wooden leg.
He had no money, and he wouldn't beg;
He had piece of pipe and a twelve
inch board,
And he said to himself; IT guess I'll
make Ford
With a gallon of "Gas' and quart of
oil,
And piece of wire to make coil,
Four great big spools, and an old tin
can.
He hammered them together, and the
blame thing ran.

THE CITIZEN


The saddest sight in our country is
when a mother must ask the State
TO conflne a son or daughter whom
she has failed 10 teach restraint,
self-control, and respect for the
rights OF others. II conditions are
corrupt, we can no more indict the
men than the mothers OF such men.
II IL Is true, as feminists claim,
that there are two standards OF
morality for the sexes-by whose
consent does such a situation existf
These are only a few OF woman's
peculiar problems, which, II she
could solve. would do away with
the necessity for much legislation
that now exists. Laws are made
TO correct, repair, or conflne the
character that represents poor
human product OF the marriage
partnership, and we certainly can
not help the product by taking the
principal partner of the job and
putting her TO making more laws TO
mend what she might better learn
10 prevent. When a business turns
out cracked, broken. or inferior
goods, IL does not double the capac-
ity OF the repair shop-it investi-
gates the construction department

1. Are the interests OF taxpaying
women represented in Government?
How? BY the same public opinion
that represents the interests Of the
taxpayer who is minor, an estate.
a foreigner, or corporation. That
lack OF a vote has never been al
legged by any of these classes as a
reason OF protest against paying
taxes. shows that taxes entitle one
to nothing but protection TO life
and property, which women get as
well as men. Moreover, since the
question is one where the tax
payers interest is toward the low
est price possible for his protec-
ton, he or she fares best in
male suffrage State where the taxes
are least oppressive.
5. Why has woman suffrage
never been repealed, the suffragists
ask? II il is not a success, why
has il spread over eleven neighbor-
ing States? In the first place, wom-
an suffrage was tried and found
wanting in New Jersey as early as

the race is 10 survive, so marriage
and motherhood deserve encourage
ment surely. The feminist who at
tempts TO persuade you that we
Tan eliminate sex" is merely dream
ing. One moments thought on the
difference between the fathers and
mothers relation 10 their common
child is convincing on the point
that the mother is not always as
available for political duties as the
father. Whereas, II she is TO &C
quire all the information she needs
10 become a wise as well as an
intelligent voter, she must attend
all political affairs, "just like a
man."
The need for wisdom, growing,
out Of constant access 10 informa-
ton on Governmental problems,
that comes 10 the man in his daily
life, is greatest where the popula-
ton is densest. The eleven full
suffrage States contain fewer wom-
en- than Pennsylvania alone; while
New York States population ex-
ceeds the combined populations OF
all the other countries OF which
the suffragists boast. New York
City's dwellings could house the in
habitants OF seven suffrage States.
The metropolitan district OF Phila-
delphia could accommodate the popu-
qation OF five suffrage States, yet
these States average twice the area
.of Pennsylvania. Persons, not ter
ritory, are what we must consider
in politics, and every evil, every
danger from the addition OF women
TO the electorate, would be inten-
sifled here in the East on account
OF our larger cities and larger prob
lens in government.
That the women Of Australia or
Wyoming vote wisely in a sparsely
settled community is no indication
that the women who would vote in
New York or Boston would do any
better than the partially enfran-
chised women who vote in Chicago.
and il they would not. then the late
primary election in the Windy City
is the index to sufficient reason
for not adopting woman suffrage
here. II 10000 women can do no
better than help to nominate a re-
dictionary Mayor, while one OF the
most respected citizens finds ii
necessary TO remove to a State with
decent tax laws" woman suffrage
is a rank failure. II has multiple
ed troubles, without furnishing one
additional remedy or solution.
3. Does the world" need women
in politics? The focus Of woman's
work in the public interest is our
greatest social problem-the child.
Unless she succeeds in forming the
foundations Of honesty and charac-
ter in youth, the States laws will
be always needed, enforced by men,
in order to protect the people against
her unframed offspring. Many Of
our prisons, and most Of our re-
form institutions for Juvenile GRIM
inals, could be emptied in one gen.
