idiots, criminals and lunatics could
not vote. and the consensus of, boyish
opinion was that the men would not
let the women vote because the wom-
en- did not have sense enough to vote
right.
In this way their listener, who be-
fore this had thought more about her
embroidery than of her political re-
sponsibility was led to see the light as
to why children of good mothers some
time go wrong They keep on think
ing that women have not sense enough
to know the best path Of life to
choose.
In only eleven of the United States
is there real democracy of the peO-
Pile. In the male suffrage states there
is no government Of and for and by
the people, but only government by
the men.
Our forefathers had a great vision
of what is coming when all Of the
United States has woman suffrage. In
many of the minds of those living
then 1t must have seemed nonsense
when they talked about consent OF
the governed "all men are born free
and equal" etc. George Washington
owned many slaves, and none of our
foremothers consented to be govern
ed' so far as we know, but those who
so talked looked ahead with far-seeing
eyes and saw what is to be when our
entire country is ruled by men and
women, for it is as half ruled when a
state is ruled only by men as for a
home to be.
If women had been voting on the
same terms as men the Lorimer votes
buying scandal or the disgraceful
Adams county, Ohio, vote selling
would never have occurred in a coun-
try supposed to be democratic. When
United States senator deliberately
bought his seat Is the senate and male
voters in whole townships in Ohio
were DISTINGUISHED for selling their
votes it seemed like government
Of the people" where only men voted
was an utter failure. But out Of this
seeming failure will grow real dem
ocracy and real government Of and
for and by the people.
When women become fully con-
scious of their power and responsible
ity for the betterment of the human
race and claim and exercise voice in
the government Of this country, then
and only then, will the hopes and Wis
ions of our forefathers be realized by
the world they blessed when they
founded our government

"rnE OTHER MANS WIFE"

The eternal triangle, the man,
the wife and the other man, or the
wife, the husband a I'd other wo-
man.; this is the basis for all
stories and naturally is as old as
time. To treat this age old bas-
is principle in new or clever
manner ''is a consummation de-
voutly to be wished" and in "The
Other Mans Wife" the new Gask-
ell & Mac Witty play a new treat
ment of this old theme is to be
found.
The play is from the pen of
Victor f. Lambert, anG abounds
in a succession of clever situa-
Itions. The comedy scenes are
numerous and the press has been
most flattering in what they have
had to say about the play.
1.-The Other Mans Wife will be
seen at the Wahoetn Opera House
OnWednesday Eeyening, Nov. 9Th.
Victor f. Lambert's new play,
''I'he Other Mans Wife, is
scheduled to appear at the Wah-
'pdton Opera House. Wednesday,
Nov. 8th. The story of the play
is the double standard of morals
imposed upon the world by man.
The acts of the man are condoncd
,and excused and aoologized for
while the same actions i'm women
are cOndemed an no excuse made
or accepted. Mr.. Lambert has
taken the time old theme and WOW
en- into it most fascinating story.
The producers Gaskell & Mac Witty
have given the play the best cast
possible and a sumptuous scenic
|inVeStura.
