AS TO SUFFRAGE.

Editor of The Journal:
| can see no way for the women
of Florida to gain the right to be real
citizens of the state but BY giving
the men of the state an object les
son, by simply retiring from their &C
tivity in public matters and letting
the men be entirely responsible for
public work of all kinds that the
women have taken large share on
their own shoulders. If, as President
johnson, of the Florida senate, de-
clares, the Bible is against all wom-
ems rights as citizens, then let us
stay at home and leave to our lords
and masters all responsibility for
conducting the nation, the cities and
the state. Let them raise all moneys
for all objects; let women refuse to
be made kitchen maids for such eff
forts. If women are by motive and
understanding inferior to the men
they should, at least, have the free
dom from responsibility that always
pertains to inferior beings. Do not
let us be confronted at the gate Of
heaven, as Gypsy Smith so graphic
ally pictured, by plates of fried
chicken, as representing our early
activities.
