why don't the anti-suffragists go into
the States where they have equal suf-
frage and relieve the women of the
burden OF the ballot? If suffrage Is
not q good thing, why don't States
having the privilege go back to the
old system?
The president recently has de-
clared himself in favor of equal sun :
frage. The candidate who received
the second highest number OF votes
at the last presidential election has
also come out In favor OF suffrage:
The candidate receiving the third
highest number of votes mas wrltten
a storv In the Saturday Evening Post.
Have you read It? II not, you should,
for the arguments against equal suf-
frage are set up and answered, ana
II is concluded that 1t is a good thing,
but not lust yet The third candidate
wants you to walt just little while
longer.
you can't always Judge a man by
the reasons he gives to you, when you
ask him a question. You ask him:
Is 1t wrong to steal?' He replies: I
don't know whether 1t is or not The
only way to do with man like this
is search him, then you'll find the
reason.
The Mothers Right
aThe strongest reason with me and
which convinced me that equal suf-
frage is needed, is the argument of
the mother. She has a right to a
voice as to the environment of her
child. Her life trembles in the bal
ance at the birth of her child, 1t Is
her big life investment, yet she has
nothing to say as to how this child
shall live or under what conditions.
She pours out on her child the wealth
of her affection, as it is led through
the paths of schooling. but traps are
laid for the innocent child by persons
who live in sin. They have the ballot
and when you give the ballot to a
man of this calibre you dare not re-
fuse to give the mother the ballot. A

the Navy Daniels in ordering court
martial for Admiral William N. Little

Admiral Little was inspector of con-

spared by their neighbors, to rebuild
their RACED cities. to till their ravaged

WHATS the ANSWER.

epidemic in cities, thing to be en-
couraged. not guaranteed by the
health officers, to be scattered instead
of isolated, when one neighbor gets
the infection and breaks out the man
next door rarely fails to come down
with il Immediately, il works from the
center of contagion all ways and the
farther it spreads the better for every
body. Cities catch it. 1t runs thru
farm neighborhoods. It is sort OF
fever that belongs with spring though
it is the opposite of spring fever"
1t starts like this: Mrs Jones be-
gins it with rake in the front yard
Thru means and influences understood
by wives she tnfects Mr.. Jones and he
gets busy in the back yard. The
scavenger comes for the ashes and the
like. Then Robinson ard his wife take

block it breaks out with very short
periods of incubation and everyone is
busy cleaning up. Yes, that's it; that's
the answer

Sometimes it even affects city authori
ties and they clean the streets-but a!
the doctors say these are rare and ex
ceptional manifestations Of the dis

It all started from a woman like tn
fall Of man from Eden. Most OF tn
cleanup reforms start from the in

It is suggested that the women

tend the personal relation Of thei

and start a general cleanup. TIL
story is told Of one women's club tina
resolved itself into a committee Of tn
whole on city cleanliness, studied tn

against persistent offenders.

Sneakine to the Labor Congress OF

Of us who would be glad to help him
in this very laudable enterprise.
The working man has his labor and
skill to sell just as the manufactures
has his products, and the farmer sells
the stuff he produces. The laborer
sells his labor in the open market, at
the market price, and is permitted to
combine. fix prices thru union wage
scales and to even limit the amount OF
labor to be sold. Neither the farmer
ar +he manufactures has the ledge
on him in that.

while the manufacturer and the farmer
has no such protection as that. In this
it would seem that the laoores IS se''
