SUFFRAGE CAUSE
IS WINNING ONE
Council Bluffs Editor Makes
Strong Answer TO "Anti"
Argument.

Those who have come into Iowa
from the eastern states for the pur--
pose of opposing the Iowa women in
their campaign for political freedom
are attempting to show that votes for
women are going, not coming. Their
so-called proof is branded as the
limit of absurdity" by the editor of
the Council Bluffs Nonpareil. The
editor, after reviewing the material
sent out by fasteners opposed to
woman suffrage, says:
1.-THE individual who considers the
history of the extension of the fran
chise to men will very soon discover
that votes for women are as certain
in all democratically governed coun-
tries as the flow of the tides.
when our forefathers came to this
country they brought with them the
then prevailing ideas Of suffrage in
the countries from which they mi
grated. Practically all of the thirteen
colonies had different regulations gov
erning the suffrage.
"In 1857 out of population of five
million there were 100000 electors.
One hundred years later five million
population contained from seven hun
dred thousand to one million voters.
Throughout this century the struggle
was to get votes for men.
/ There was time in the colony of
Massachusetts when the electors did
not exceed 2 per cent of the popula-
ton. At that time those who were
excluded from the privilege of voting
included the following classes: Nom
church members, Roman Catholics,
Quakers, Jews, criminals, idiots, i'm
beetles, Indians, negroes. non-property
owners-and women. Year after year
the struggle to extend the franchise
was waged. Among the first barriers
to be broken down were the religious
restrictions. Property restrictions
chung tenaciously. When our consti-
tuition was adopted and Washington
was chosen president only about 8 per
cent of the population Of the thirteen
original states were qualified electors
Now the percentage of electors in
cludes about 20 per cent of the popu-
lation.
The right to vote in Iowa is now
denied only to Indians, criminals
idiots, imbeciles. insane people and
women. This classification is unjust
to the women. 1t should not be con-
tinued. Their intelligence and capa
city to think is unquestioned Theil
interest in the state is identical witt
the interests of men. The assertion
that votes for women are going. ant
not coming is nearly the limit of alb
I surdity. No state in this countr.
where a statute granting the right t.
vote to women has been passed ha
ever repealed it."

IOWAHS take LEAD
In Big CAMPAIGN
Men and Women Who Formerly
Lived in State Return to
Help Suffragists.

The campaign for equal suffrage Is
essentially Iowan. Not only are Iowa
men and Iowa women giving their
time and strength to the cause, but
many of the prominent workers who
are coming into Iowa to assist in the
campaign are former Iowans. These
men and women are not strangers to
the people of Iowa, and the messages
they are bringing to the people of the
state are being received with the
greatest interest.
1t is particularly fortunate for Iowa
that Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait, ma
tional suffrage president, is a former,
1owan. Mrs. Gait will play big part
in the Iowa campaign and will speak
in many of the larger cities. Mrs. j.
G. Grundy and Mrs. Gertrude Nash,
residents of Iowa for years, but now
living in California, Mrs. Mile r..
Trumbull, of Oregon, whose former
home was in Dubuque, Omar E. Gar
wood of Denver, Colo, formerly of
near Marshalltown, Mrs. Ben Hooper
of Oshkosh, Wis, formerly of New
Hampton, Miss Elizabeth Perkins of
Des Moines and DR.. Effie McCollum
Jones, are few of the former Iowans
who have returned or will come to
Iowa to assist in the campaign. Miss
Alice 3. Curtis, executive secretary OF
the Iowa Equal Suffrage association,
formerly lived at Allison. Mrs. Edwin
A. Knapp and Mrs. Gerald Mcdowell,
who are organizing and speaking, are
wives of former Iowa men.

Organized Labor for Suffrage.

Organized labor stands and has al
ways stood for equal sutfrage-the
right OF every qualified adult to a
voice in government, regardless of sex.
The voters of Iowa soon will be priv
legged to vote on this great question,
whether Iowa shall line up with pro-
gressive thought or continue to hug
the antiquated theory of government,
unsupported by reason or justice,
which extends the ballot to the males
alone.-SiouX City Union Advocate

SUPREME COURT DECISION GIVES
Strong ENDORSEMENT OF SUFFRAGE


The majority opinion of the court
written by Justice Byron w. Preston
of Oskaloosa, and fully concurred in
by three other members of the court
said in part:
"* We may we'll keep in view
the progress of our state legislation
for many years toward the complete
emancipation of woman from the dis
abilities and determinations formerly
imposed upon her by the law until
now the constitutional restrictions
which denies her entire equality at
the polls is practically the last sur
viving badge of her supposed inferior
lty in personal, civil and civic rights.
y While the presence of women
at the polls is an innovation which all
do not view with equal equanimity or
satisfaction, yet to my mind it is diff
cult to Imagine any good reason why
she, who is mans equal in other
rights of person and property, and has
no less interest than he in good gov
eminent and social order, should not
equally with him make her voice heard
and her influence felt at the ballot
box, where questions affecting the
common good are put to their final
test. When that time arrives, and
equality in fact as we'll as in name is
accomplished, may we not confidently
expect an advanced standard of good
citizenship and more truly repub-
lican form of government?

Canadian Women May Vote Soon.

Victoria, B. C.-Accordinx to m an
nouncement by Premier Bowser, q
referendum on woman suffrage will
be taken at the coming general cleo
ton, and, if the electors approve,
women may vote after January /.
1917. Premier Bowser paid tribute
to the work done by women of the
country during the war. In every
walk of life, he said, they had shown
an ability to take the place of men
who have gone to the front and to
carry on the business of the country.
This showing warranted a change in
the point of view of those who op-
posed the extending of the franchise
to women.

Women Make Sensible Claim.

Iowa is TO vote on the question of
woman suffrage in June. Our obser-
forward a sensible claim that they
want to vote but are not alleging that
the state will be made over by their
voting. We think that is the sort of
claiming and not claiming that will

Big Vote for Suffrage.

Statistics show that the higher the
percentage of illiteracy in state the
greater opposition to equal suffrage.
AS Iowa has less illiteracy than any
state in the union the natural con-
clusion is that equal suffrage will be
carried by a big vote at the June pri-
mary.-Dubuque Times-Journal.

AGAINST SEGREGATION. :


garding an article in The Day Book
of July %, 1915, signed ga. Gee Bee"
l beg to say one of the best descrip-
tons of segregated district that I
have read was in a sermon preached
by the Rev. R. H. Hartley, of Quincy,
H., against the segregation of vice.
He compared segregated district to
bad housekeeping where certain
room was given over for grease, tar
and SCOT, ETC., and these were
tracked all over the house from this
room, which is good description of
how, in the old days of the segregat-
ed district, the vice, crime and degen-
eracy of that district were spread all
over the city. Segregation never
segregated in the city of Chicago or
anywhere else, and if Mr.. A. Gee Bee
will come in and see me will give
him in detail some of the informa-
ton that has been. collected for many
years by our Office.
A. Gee Bee says we corral or con-
fine our patients. Yes, but if pa

infected by the scarlet fever patient.
Is it wise for a city to allow open de-
fiance of the laws of the state and of
the city, laws that make for cleanH-
ness and the purity and well-being
of its inhabitants? Is it wise to allow
a nest where smallpox, scarlet fever
and diphtheria and every other

exist and cause the spread of these
terrible diseases to the innocent?
There would be just: as much sense
in that procedure as to allow a seq
regated district with the well-known
diseases incident to the social evil.

war the slave power estimated the
value of her slaves at $3.50, 900.
When slavery was abolished this
value was destroyed. Yet there was
no actual destruction of tangible
property. The legal power of the
slave-owning class to compel their
slaves to work for nothing was the
only thing done away with.
In the United States the value of
the bare ground has increased from
nothing to $4,000, 900, 900, which is
more than 80 times the value of all
the slaves before the war.
This great sum represents not tan
gible wealth, but the value of the
legal power of landowners to de-
mand labor or its products for the
permission to use their property.
Perhaps, if we studied this question,
we might discover the relation which
