Discriminating Against Mother


The Vermont Legislature is still
struggling with woman suffrage bill
which seeks to set up a property quail
fication for women voters. 1t gives
the vote to women who possess GER
tain amount of taxable property, and
it is earnestly opposed by some of the
papers of the State on the ground
that it is undemocratic. In the
rough-and- ready language of the Bur-
lington News, the bill permits the
woman with several dogs and an au-
tomobile to vote all she wants to-
while "the woman with six or seven
children is more effectually disfran-
chised than ever" because the motor
lady is put in above her-given a
privilege which she does not possess.
The principle of the bill is certainly a
new one in Vermont, where the house.
wife and the mother of a family has
always been regarded as Of greater
consequence than any other woman.
But it seems that the woman suffra-
gists themselves, who are working for
universal suffrage, manhood and wo-
manhood suffrage, are nevertheless
willing to accept the bill as an enter
ing wedge. In other words, they are
willing to take partial enfranchise-
ment, believing that the partial meas
ure, when in force will compel the
carly adoption of the complete one.
Half loaf is better than no bread,
especially as bread is never really
baked in half loaves, and the next
baking must make up for the defic-
iency.
Throughout the Eastern States
there is curious tendency to give the
women the voting privilege in Install
ments Illinois, Indiana, and Obi,
have extended the suffrage in tina;
way. The women are permitted to
vote for President Of the United
States, but not for mayor, councilmen
or selectmen. The President is long
way off, and it makes no difference to
Goose Green even if the women do
vote for him. But Goose Green for
gets that a woman with presidential
ballot in her hand becomes at once a
mighty power with the politician. She
can soon have all she wants. And re-
ferring to the woman who votes under
a property qualification, it is plain
said that she will not hold her exclu-
sive privilege long, as against the
claims of Mother. The boys, and their
daddy, will not long permit Mother to
be Disseminated against, just because
the only property she possesses is her
creative right in their strength, their
virtue, their patriotism, their hopes
Of happiness on earth and an entern-
ity in heaven. There, in truth, is a
property which yields in value to
Tuxedo or Pocantico, and its rights
will not long be denied.--Boston Tran
script.
