anti suffragist and will not be con-
CURED in. as we believe. by many wom-
en- who are suffragists. 1t is resented
because it is fallacious and untrue. II
is fallacious because it assumes as ad-
mittedly true that 1t is the duty OF
women to enter public political life and
to ask for and seek to obtain suffrage
to that end, and because having as
sumed that this duty in fact exists 1t
charges us with lack Of patriotism be-
cause we deny that it does exist. That
is not the way logically or properly to
prove lack of patriotism. The duty OF
all women to vote If they had suffrage
and the duty to seek to enter political,
public life are two very different ques-
tions. The existence Of this last al
legged duty is a fundamental issue be-
tween those who are opposed to and
those who favor women suffrage. And
we who are opposed to women entering
political life and public service do not
oppose because of any lack of desire
to aid our country but because of a
difference of opinion as to how we can
best aid our country and the communi-
ties in which we live.
but tne statement goes 1artner tnan
this. 1t implies that we anti suffra :
gists are unpatriotic in the performance
of duty. Not in this community or
country have anti suffragists NOW or
heretofore been unpatriotie in the per-
Torrance Of any duty which all women
admit to be duty to the community
in which we live and to the country.
Please note what they are doing here
working untiringly in every cause
which can assist the government; con-
tributing means and personal effort to
help not alone this nation but those
across the sea.
We regret, exceedingly, this attempt
to make an issue of patriotism in these
times of stress. 1t is wrong in prin-
ciple. 1t is unfair. 1t should not be
countenanced because in this commu-
nifty and throughout the land anti
suffragists and all women have done
their utmost and given their utmost for
our country's welfare and they never
have, do not now and never will, deny
any obligation of service to the coun-
try which is admitted or believed to be
an obligation to it.

TT seems, too, that only one type of

But before we accepted German y's

more than a protective tariff, it was

taken up the manufacture Of dyesturrs

Believing II unfair to impose on those
risking their lives in battle restrictions
that do not apply to civilians at home,
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention Of tuberculosis, with
headquarters in New York city. has
gone on record as favoring nationwide
unconditional prohibition.

until her emergency military establish

conditions prevail. They, therefore, adj
vocatc the continuation Of this meas

the close Of the war.
The association is cooperating with
the Council Of National Defense in
fighting the spread of tuberculosis
among the troops and believes that one
OF the essentials in assuring the great
est possible success Of this campaign
is the elimination Of the use of liquor.
In favoring national prohibition it
points out the experience in this direc-
ton OF the European countries engaged
In the war and urges that this nation
neglect nothing that will make for
the general good of the service
II prohibition is necessary for the
successful prosecution Of war service,
why is 1t not just as necessary for

With a Drink on the Table

(By Theodosia Garrison Of the Vigilante
Surely, you've a right to it.
You've made it or paid for it,
And here's a toast to drink to,
The while you're in the mood,
Here's to the grain you're using up
Starving folk have prayed for it,,
Here to those you rob Of it,
Some mothers hungry brood.
Surely. you've a right to it,
This drink you're merry over,
And here's a toast to drink to,
For fear you drink in vain,
Here's to lads in torment
O er whom the surgeons hover,
The while you drink the ether
That might have drowned their pain!
Here's to the toast to hungry folk,
To uneased pain men bear,
To lives that pass with every glass
Drink tiff you dare!
