flourish, too. to Miss Mefcadel and

We would love to tell you about

posedly the basis Of our entire legal
system
The vote in the hands Of men has
done remarkable things. In the
hands Of women 1t undoubtedly will
make her legal status equal to; mems
at every point. Yet: one thing the
vote can not do, and that Is, change
the inherent nature Of womank3nd.
And 1t Is her inherent nature 40 we'll
as mans that has given rise to most
OF her legal abuses.
Back Of the chattel idea Of women,
Of the regarding her as mans prop
serty, lies not only mans selfishness,
but woman's quality Of abject devo-
ton to the man who marries her.
Be he rich or poor. high or low. mean
or great, brutal or gentle, the aver
age WON N clings to her man. And
through the ages this quality of hers
has not helped to foster in him ten.
derness or generosity. <
No one characteristic of women
has contributed more toward lower
ing her legal status than this. No
one factor in human life has been
more potent in maintaining the in.
tegrify of the home. It Is q quality
that has been recognized since hu.
man history began-now compared
to something slavish and dog-like
now to the fidelity of the angels.
And SO one wonders when the
righteously indignant mother with
the vote weapon in her hand Is call
ed upon to use 1t against the man
of her heart and soul, how. abe will
use 1t.
