In shop, factory, store and kitchen
many hundreds of thousands of young
girls labor under the heel of CONNER
~cialism and neglect. Followed to its
ultimate conclusion this wrong is
great national tragedy. Suffrage! What
does that mean to such cramped young
lives? Suffering is term far more IA
miliar to them.
The girl who goes to work for wages
at 16 tends to decline rapidly. Her
powder puff and thin makeup may
suffice for a very few years to cover
the blight which is already gnawing
at the soul. Where youth will fight
his way and probably climb over the
obstacles to some kind of better ad-
vantage, the typical girl slowly recedes
within herself and takes her place as
a gentle, negative personality. always
subject to some ones orders and rules
OF the institution.
Need Right to Grow.
The right Of suffrage, indeed. The
right to grow is what these girls need,
as they approach the age Of the fran
chise. A little, narrow view Of the
world and its meanings, a timid reac-
ton toward the grinding affairs Of bust
ness, a weak resistance to the en-
croachments Of british men, blurred
vision of any possible encouraging flu
ture, feeble grip on the forces which
make life worth while-this is the tale
of woe which actually characterizes a
great army Of our 16-year-old American
girls today, who are pawned out to the
greed of business enterprise.
1t sickens the heart to think Of it.
It Is not the work which hurts and
bllghts the growing young character.
