sented by men and can make laws by in
direct influence. 1 answer that law en-
forcement is even more important than
law enactment, and both can be had
much better by direct than by indirect m
fuence. Men would not be willing for
women to represent them at the polls,
and that government without the con-
sent of the governed is undemocratic and
tyrannical.
Is there any reason why sex should be
greater barrier against voting than in
conducting business, managing a farm,
working in factory. editing paper,
writing a book, clerking in a store, teach
ing school? If there is no sex in BUSH
ness, no sex In industry, no sex in taxa
ton, no sex in legal punishment, no sex
in education, why have sex in the ballot ?
Why not make intelligence rather than
sex the supreme test Of citizenship?
Mans right to vote was not born with
the creation of the world; primitive man
had no organized society; in ancient
times only small minority of men voted
The majority were half citizens or slaves
full citizenship was limited to the few
and was difficult to obtain. Even in CO.
lonial days voting privileges were exer-
cised only BY those men who could quail
fy by birth or religion or property. When
the constitution was adopted, women. as
a rule, were uneducated: only a small
percentage Of them could read and write.
II did not occur to the founders Of the
republic that the time would come when

said Mr.. Erwin, but believe it is
the duty of every loyal citizen to sup

1T was great relief to me, and I

This remark was made by ]. o. CAT
ckell Of 28S Park View avenue. Bangor,
and was addressed to a friend who
was standing with him. Mr.. Gatchell
was in for another bottle Of Tanlac

Gatchell explained. You Of course
know what a bad case of stomach
trouble is"
Il was tired all the time. Mr.. Cat
chell continued. Nothing seemed to
agree with me, and most everything I
ate turned into gas and made life very
distressing for me both by day and by
night.
Il had tried many things, but was
determined not to let any possible re-
lief slip by. Tanlac was recommended
to me by friends, and I acted on their
advice and started taking it.
Now my appetite is a hundred per
cent better and my stomach feels like
new one. Tanlac certainly has re-
lieved me. It's been boon, and moth
ing pleases me more than to be able to
tell others how I have been benefited.

Ballots for Both
in the
Pine Tree State
An Open Letter

To the Members of the Subordinate
| Oranges of Maine:
! I wish most respectfully to call your
attention to the fact that at the last ses-
| sion Of the Legislature of Maine it was
voted, by two-thirds of all the members
present, to submit to the legal voters of
the State a proposition to amend the
Constitution of Maine to extend the right
of suffrage to the women Of the State,
with the same qualifications and restric-
tons now enjoyed by men.
/ This proposed amendment Is to come
before the voters now qualified to pass
upon it at a special election called by the
governor. to be held on the 10th day of
September. 1917. when it Is to be decided
| by majority Of the voters whether or
not the amendment is to be adopted or
rejected. Much will depend upon the &C
ton of the members of the order of pat
rons Of husbandry as to what the result
will be.
| 1t would seem to be unnecessary to call
the attention Of the members of this or
der to the fact that their great organiza-
ton was the pioneer. the frst to admit
men and women to full and equal rights
and privileges OF membership. with re-
| strictions exactly alike upon both men
and women, no limitations for women
that did not apply with equal force for
men. This fact has, from the first. in
the growth and development of this great
| organization. been it's foundation, its cor
ner stone. its chief source of strength
and permanency. without which this or
der would never have attained the prom
inence nor achieved the many successes
Of its history up to the present time.
| More than this, it is universally admit
ted by all students of the history OF the
Grange that If the membership shouio
now be restricted to men only the oruer
would not survive ten years. This Is not
sentimentalism. but hard facts; therefore,
1t is hard to understand how any mem
Der Of the Grange can claim to be true
to his obligation as a patron that goes
to the polls, and votes against granting
the right of citizenship to the women OF
Maine. Certainly it cannot be because
they are not qualified to exercise the re-
sponsibilties of citizens intelligently.
The most frequent argument heard u.s.
that a majority Of the women do not
want to vote; If this be true. the answer
Is, rlSnC ana Justice cannot De eSlmdCe0
in numbers; and also that majority OF
the men seldom vote, that in a democracy
all people qualified by intelligence and
character should not only b permitted
but encouraged to vote.
II it is claimed that good women would
not vote, answer that good women do
vote, wherever permitted. and by their
vote improve the conditions of public
service; this has been invariably the case.
If 1t is claimed that equal suffrage would
double the number OF the ignorant, the
criminal and foreign voters. l answer
that, more girls than boys attend the
higher schools. that women are as we'll
educated as men. that but one criminal
in every % is a woman. and tina. the
number Of native born women is 10 times
as large as that Of foreign born.

REV, FIR. NElL|CAN
CELEBRATES MASS
AT CAMP kEYES
Sunday Morning for
Catholic Boys of Sec
ond Regiment-Bish-
op Walsh Had Been
Expected but Was In
able to Be Present

In a small sanctuary rnat has Just
been erected at Camp Keyes. to I'LL
temporary need, Rev. FIR. Thomas j.
Nelligan, rector of St. Mary's church
Of this city, celebrated a mass Sunday
morning for the Catholic boys Of the
Second Regiment. The mass was serv-
ed by Ralph G. Gilbert, a mail clerk
at Camp Keyes. FIR. Michigan expressed
his disappointment in having received
at the last moment a telephone COM
munication from Bishop Waisn OF
Portland telling Of his inability to be
present to address the boys.
FIR. Nelligar made a short ADDRESS
in which he urged the boys to COM
bat the unusual temptations which
they are facing, and to avail them
selves of every opportunity to meet
their church obligations. About 200 at
| tended the mass. The service opened
with a beautiful rendering Of "Adeste
Fideles' by the Second Regiment
| Band.
Fr. NeIIiean's Address
| Father Nelligan spoke on the sub
ject suggested by the gospel OF the
day, according to st. Luke:
THE narrative of the gospel of this
| Sunday emphasizes the two great char
acteristics of Jesus Christ, the Son of
| God, His infinite charity and justice.
AS He approached the city, He wept
bitter tears of compassion over Je-
rusalem and its inhabitants foretelling
it's destruction. His tears were the
expression of mercy and charity for
those who were so blind and peverse
as not to acknowledge in Him the Re-
deemer of mankind and heed His
warning. He wept because they did
not hearken to His voice but contin-
ued on in their iniquity and sin.
| so our Lord weeps today for the
| multitude and again extends the man
tie of His charity and mercy over the
world that has no time for God. Per-
haps He has occasion to weep for our
obstinacy and sinfulness.
But as an indication of that other
virtue, justice. we have the picture of
our Lord entering the temple and
flashing out in the spirit of Divine
wrath those who would profane His
house. He is no longer the weeping
and merciful Savior who is ready to
offer his life for sinners, but the just
castigator of the wilful sinner. There
is, therefore. a time for charity and
a time for justice as well.
I'VE should so regulate our lives as
to merit the infinite mercy Of God.
while having no fear of the exercise of
Divine Justice
| The new sanctuary is a small wood
en- structure Of simple but substantial
construction, and is portable. At
present it occupies a position near the
colonel's quarters and faces the pa
rade ground. 1t is furnished with an
altar and vestment press.
While FIR. Nelligan could make no
definite announcement to this effect, he
expressed the hope that Bishop Walsh
will visit the camp during the regi-
! ment's stay.
This sanctuary is another evidence
of the kindly interest which the pas
| tor of St. Mary's church has for the
| boys at Camp Keyes and his jealous
ness in making provision for the boys
attending their religious duties is
much appreciated by them.
