''The Ballot as q Fetish ,


Why do the suffragists i'm
aglne vain thing? Why do they
vociferously cry that denial of
the privilege of voting is denial
OF all legal rights? Thousands
OF mere men, whites as well as
blacks, are disfranchised in
South Carolina and in other
States.
The voting pivilege is impor-
tant but it is merely one of
divers privileges that the citi-
zens enjoys.
But, as we have therefore, dar-
ed to say, one powerful argu-
ment for woman suffrage has
weight with The State more
than all other arguments. The
women sadly need something to
divert their minds from tri-
vlalltles. 1t is good thing for
the mental health of a woman
to plead for the ballot whether
she gets it or not.
Politics is decidedly more con-
duclve to intellectual hygiene
than bridge. Sometimes woman
goes to a hospital because she
has nowhere else to 90 and
even the polls are prefeable to
a hospital.
BY the way, after the woman
ave been thoroughly initiated
IN the political game, what will

FeebleneSS and Feminism

There was a time, and not so
long ago, when feebleness was a
sign of female gentility. No
perfect lady could walk a couple
OF miles without utter exhaus-
tlon. Upon any occasion demand
ing swift action and self-con-
troll the lady promptly tainted.
She had slender waist"-
meaning a deformed one of
about eighteen to twenty inches
circumference. She had dainty
feet"-meaning deformed ones
warped out of all semblance to
beauty by shoes too small high
heeled, pointed in the most ma
tural manner.
Her education was limited to
Embroidery, a little fancy cook
ing, little dabbling piano-play-
ing and possibly the execution of
atrocities in water color. She
read a little sentimental litera-
ture and went to church when
she felt able. She knew nothing
of the big facts of life and work.
She was a draw first on her faith
er and later on her husband.
Then came a time when a
few women demanded-and got
higher education" 1t was a
bold and exceptional maiden who
went to college. Not being any
too strong to start with carrying
the weight of responsibility
which falls on pioneers, the wo-
men now in their thirties and
forties who are we'll educated US
ually got their mental training
at the expense of their physical
well-being. Even at that they
are for the most part in bet
ter average health than their
more sheltered sisters, and ac-
complish more because they have
had to learn to conserve what
strength they have for working
purposes.
Through these women and
their realization of Woman's
need of strength, and of fresh
air in getting it, came the athe-
letic girl.
Now that we have the vigor-
Gus young woman who has en-
ergy enough for her daily du-
ties and little thinking on the
side, feebleness is rapidly dis
appearing as a characteristic of
womanhood. The woman of to-
day is determined that her dau-
ghters shall be strong both ply
sically and mentally and she is
intelligent enough to seek expert
help in reaching the desired
goal. She is learning to wear
clothing which is a help and not
a hindrance to her activity
There is even hope that the feet
of the next generation may be
allowed freedom of function as
nature intends.
A healthy mind in a healthy
1 body-the ideal of the Greeks
is coming into reality. Feeble
ness is vanishing before the
idealss Of a rational feminism.--
Florence Times.
