Freedom for the Sex.
THE time has arrived when we Wam-
en- must assert ourselves Ia language
that is not 10 be n}isinferpTeted
shouted the corpuIent suhragist, gasp
ing for breath after the fashion Of
fish out Of water we have too long
been shackied, held under the thumbs
Of our lordly men. They think simply
because they buy our food and clothes
that we should stick of home aud
raise their children, ana have moth
ing to say in the government of our
country. We have been living IN slav-
cry for generations, but haven't fully
realized the fact until recently We
must assert ourselves. but we arc not
going to get very TAR by sweet words.
We've got to adopt tactics similar TO
those employed by our lordly mas
ters if we are to conquer Honeyed
arguments and speeches only bring
silent derisi0n from the enemy, So
long as our attitude lacks belliger-
entcy he has right to feel no unrest
Of our propaganda. We must deliver
blows that viii arouse mankind TO "a
knowledge that our Cause IS a right
e0us one and that it must succeed.
Let's hit hard We may bowl over a
few Of our lordly politicians. but no
great cause ever trfumphed without
somebody getting hurt. It's freedom
we want and were going 70 have ii"

friend to have raised one OF the finest
crops of corn In the county. wGv in
heaven S name don't you remove your
darred stays and get enough air into
heaving like a boss that's wind broker /
Why my daughter that used 10 play
