even Peter appreciated the goodness
and power Of Christ when he grant
ed relief in answer to his cry, Lord,
save me or l perish"
This war has given them an op-
portunity to demonstrate their in
telligence and adaptability, their
love for country and humanity, and
their willingness to make every sac
rifice, endure trials and to do or die
as duty required. This but adds to
my desire to let them try, but there
is to my mind a farther and deeper
reason for giving them the ballot,
and that is justice. The services
they have rendered mankind in
every capacity where permitted to,
say nothing of their services and sac
rifices in the stupendous conflict,
have been such as should compel the
lords Of creation from sense of
justice alone to give them an equal
right in the affairs of life. If the
ballot is great privilege to the citi
zen, why should they be denied that
highest of all citizens privilege?
They have initiated many and sup
ported all great efforts to alleviate
suffering and uplift and benefit hu-
manity. The present status of our
public schools, churches, Sabbath
schools and eleemosynary insti:u-
tions, is largely the results of their |
effort and support, and they would |
dwindle into insignifcance, if not OBJ |
liberated, if their support was with
held, and man would degenerate into
infidelity and barbarism if not for
their home influence. Wherever wo-
man is degraded, men seek the lower
level-Turkey and Germany, for in
stance.
So I say not only let them try, but
give them the ballot and urge them
to use it. The statement that the
great majority Of women do not
want the ballot and would not use
It if granted is not borne out by the
record as shown in states where J
granted. In New York City, although
heir first opportunity to vote, near
y as many women are registered as
men. From sense Of justice the
platforms of all the political parties
avor it. Our great President favors
t. Our Governor Pleasant advocates
md urges it. Nearly all men who
tif1e prejudices and gives the matter
thought and consideration
avor it. Who opposes it? The New
Orleans ring, who believes it fore
