y young man proposed marriage to
a charming girl with every assurance
of ordering the cake and the wedding

Ants Shaking OF Wrons Leaves.

.\nti-suffrage leaves are falling,
falling everywhere they are likely to
have the most influence upon the
minds Of men Of the Maine Legisla-
tuTe about to discuss and pass upon
bill introduced by Senator Cannett
providing for Presidential suffrage to
Maine women. The leaf oftenest seen
flowing about is the argument for
state rights by Barrett Potter. Just
why It should be shaken about by
anti suffragists we are unable to I'M
Cerstand. unless it is from the same
characterization Of Maine intelligence
that prompted the ants to import
Mrs. Ford for the suffrage hearing.
In the first place. Mr.. Potter talks
from the pages Of the Congressional
Record which give the debate upon
the federal amendment, and thus re-
inforces the position of Maine SUI
fragists who ask only for a common
ordinary. every day sort Of a bill that
has nothing to do with the federal
amendment or the federal govern
ment.
The Gannett bill. like any other bill
passed by the Legislature. can be re-
pealed by the next Legislature II
found desirable. 1t can be amended
by any Maine Legislature. 1t is a
matter for Maine lawmakers to decide
without the assistance or advice Of
the people OF other states. and with
out approval Of the slurs of such out :
side talent as Mrs. Ford. as to the in
tc!ligence and capacity Of Maine
women.
The husbands. fathers. brothers and
sweethearts of Maine women will
care little for the opinion Of out of
State ants who compare Maine wom-
en- to the women of the slums and
socialistic foreign element Of New
York's East Side. II they do care it
will be honest resentment of the COM
parison.
Maine lawmakers are simply asked
to try the experiment Of Presidential
suffrage for Maine women who wish
to vote. The ants shrek: 1T is the
opening wedge!"
Very we'll. let it 60 at that; il IL IS
an opening wedge it will have to work
out well: for II it fails it will be re-
pealed. and If it DOES work out well

Whv Grow Old7

(By Elizabeth Powers Merrill)
Why grow old: Why not grow young?
Youth is not a thing OF years
For the soul is ever young,
Changes not with pain or tears.
Look for beauty where you are
For the Heaven once foretold.
Learn TO Love and Work and Play
And grow young instead of old.
Why grow oldo Why not grow young

Toward the City of your Dreams.

Yet He never has grown old.
Why do YOU not live like God
And grow young instead OF old.

do not happen to be posted. that the
bill before them is :omething in the
way Of ratification Of a federal
amendment for universal suffrage. for
Mr.. Potter says:
Il submit that no reason based on
mere present political expediency. nc
band wagon reason. would be suf-
ncent. And I cannot see how even a
conviction that woman suffrage Is de-
sirable can justify it by breaking
down the great safeguards of the
constitution. Woman suffrage may
be had by changing the federal con-
stitution, or by changing the state
constitutions. The view that those
methods are equally legitimate I be-
lieve to be a dangerous error"
BY reference to band wagon rea-
son. we assume that he refers to the
rapid advance Of the suffrage band
wagon and the promptitude with
which state after states is getting on.
This is perhaps due in a measure to
state reluctance to go down in history
as the last to embrace great forward
movements of morality and justice.
We regret that Maine is 50 far behind
as she is, for she is the only New
England state that has not in some
degree given woman suffrage trial.
And the measure now under con-
sideration at Capitol Hill and so
strenuously opposed by the ants. Is a
trial and nothing more.
No intelligent citizen on either
side of the equal suffrage question
denies that the solution is Of very
great importance to the one hundred
millions Of American people. If those
who favor suffrage are right then
the granting OF full suffrage to all
female citizens is a grand advance in
human progress. If those opposed to
suffrage are right then we arc sure to
move backward, >for equal suffrage
cannot be halted by the action Of any
one, or even a dozen states. and Mr..
Potter's hit may be timely-get on
while the getting on is good and not
a force-put of progress.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1919-02-04


Some Of the Arguments You Meet.
One of the speakers in the recent
suffrage hearing claimed that equal
suffrage would double the number Of
ignorant, criminal. and naturalized
foreign voters. Did you believe it.
when statistics prove that more girls
than boys 60 to school in this age and
have for q generation, and that
women as a class today are better
educated than men: that only one
criminal in 30 is a woman; that the
number of native-born women is ten
times that Of the foreign born: that a
great number Of the bad element Of
womanhood are floating citizens with
out legal residence scurrying to cover
in new places-women who do not
want homes, or the identifying rec
ords which make up voting lists?
One of the anti claims is. and al
ways has been, that equal suffrage
would increase the cost of elections.
The sort Of a man who resorts to that
cowardIy, skinflint excuse would put
a lemon in his we'll and nave lemonade
all the year round. Taking the same
ground. why not reduce the number of
male voters and thus save money on
elections?
Mrs. Ford proclaimed in stentorian
voice that women are represented by
men and can make laws by indirect
influence. Very well, turn about is
fair play: suppose the men permit the
women to represent them and try
their own strong hands at indirect
influence:
Most of us believe in democracy,
and those of US who believe in woma 4
suffrage believe in 1t because that is
the full spirit of democracy. Those
who oppose equal suffrage may be-
lieve in democracy but they do not
believe in putting it into practice.
All Of US believe that the best form
Of government is secured where the
supreme controlling power is vested
in the entire citizenship. Supreme
power in the hands of few, a par
ticular class, or color. can never re-
sui in the welfare of the many: it
never has, that 10 why autocracy is
everywhere being overthrown. We
can never make the world safe for
democracy with the most intelligent
and best educated half Of our citizen
ship without vote or representation in
the government.
Anti-suffragists ring all the changes
on the claim that women have enough
to do without voting and that voting
would interfere with woman's work.
Should not the same be said Of men?
Who has given man a monopoly on
time as we'll as the ballot: Does vot-
ing not interfere as much with mans
business as with woman's duties?
And as for franchise equipment. the
girls Of our country are whipping the
boys to fragile in school life and
more are graduating from our high
schools and academies. Men in bust
ness hurry read headlines of the
newspapers. women read the text and

DRUGS EXCITE YOUR
 KIDNEYS, USE SALTS
If Your Back Hurts or Bladder Bothers, Drink Lots of
 Water

When your kidneys hurt and your back feels sore, don't get scared and proceed to load your stomach with a lot of drugs that excite the kidneys and irritate the entire urinary tract. Keep your kidneys clean like you keep the bowels clean, by flushing them with mild, harmless salts which removes the body's urinous waste and stimulates them to their nor maj activity. The function of the kidneys is to filter the blood. In "A hours they strain from it 500 gallons of acid and waste, so we can readily understand the vital importance of keeping the kidneys active.
 Drink lots of water-you can't drink too much; also get from any pharmacist about four ounces of lad Salts; take tablespoonful in glass of water before breakfast each morning for a few days and your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com bined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate clogged kidneys; also tC neutralize the acids in urine SC it no longer is a source of irrita tion, thus ending bladder weakness lad Salts are inexpensive; cannot injure; makes delightful effer vescent Whitewater drink whicl everyone should take now and ther to keep their kidneys clean and ac tive. Try this. also keep up thu water drinking. and no doubt yot will wonder what became of you kidney trouble and backache.
