LOVE BROTHERS
(San Francisco Bulletin

We live in a commercial age, an age of alchemy. an age in which everything is turned to gold Nothing is wasted il there is money in it. Fortunes are made not only from trade in junk, but from traffic in junk affections.
 Time was when an injured husbanC went forth in search of his rival and fought a duel with him. It was. of course, foolish. for the sword or pistol could not guarantee justice. and ofter injury was added to injury. Yet there was something rather manly about il A ruined home was a tragedy anC might become q double tragedy; but at least 1t was not made the basis of c commercial enterprise
 But we have changed all that To. day. when woman ceases to love her husband, or a man his wife. there is the same keen search for another man or woman in the case, but the obiecf Is to discover whether the affinity has any money Not always, but far toe often.
 Damage suits for alienation of affec. ton have become commercial enter. prises. Husbands and wives, are suina for more money than they could hope to earn honestly in a lifetime.
 No need to waste any sympathy ol the victimized affinity He deserves all that comes to him. But there is room for public opinion to operate against the love profiteers, as we'll as the love pirates.

lead In reform legislation.
The laws on the statute books of
Colorado are the best child laws, not
only in this. but any other country,
and have been subject Of study by
many governments. The Juvenile
courts of Colorado. established by
Judge Ben Lindsey in the face of much
opposition have been patterns for child
legislation in many states of the union.
California, most maligned Of states,
through communications from Miss
Annie Book, a disgruntled worker,
who declares that ninety per cent of
the women of California do not want
suffrage. Yet the governor of Cali
fornia, in refutation OF this assertion,
declares that If the suffrage or wom-
en- was put to vote in California, the
men alone would give 1t a majority of
thirty thousand, and with women vot-
ing, it would be nearer one hundred
thousand majority.
These are just a few things that
woman suffrage has accomplished. It
would take many columns to even
touch on the great good accomplished.
But. even If it were true that the
great mass of women do not want the
suffrage. and this has been proven
false wherever it has been tried. would
those women who do not want the bal
lot, who do not need the ballot, have
the right to keep suffrage from the
women who do want it? How long
would men stand for such procedure?
What inalienable right has man to the
ballot that woman has not? And what
man would relinquish his right to
vote? No. man, who deserved the

Press Comment
State Press for the Amendment.

The Tampa Tribune is bitterly OPP
posed to the proposed constitutional
amendment for good roads, and here is
the kind of argument it is using:
And the fewer the automobiles in
any county, the stronger that county
is for the bond issue! If you do not be-
lieve that, look at the personnel of
the delegates to the ST Augustine
convention just adjourned. From a
list of lis delegates given by the
Tribune's correspondent at st. Au-
gustine there were but SIX from all
South Florida, where the road building
has been done and where automobiles
are most numerous. There were two
representatives from the NJ ami Herald
which is opposing the entire PROPOSE
ton; one from Tampa, who, while he
is now a Hillsborough county COM
missioner, he is also largely interested
in a road building and road material
making company which is contracting
to build roads in Florida. The other
three South Florida delegates were,
respectively, from West Palm Beach,
Volusia and st. Lucie counties-men
who are not known to the Tribune.
"One hundred and twelve of the
QeISSdleS present were from counties
where road building has not been un-
dertaken where property. assessments
have been kept at the lowest, where
census decreases are being reported,
where there are so few automobiles
that opposition to this bond issue will
be practically nil. That is the ire
mendous CALI from Florida for this
state to take its place in the forefront
of progress That is the voice that
cries out in denunciation when a PAPER
tells what is trying to be put over"
Brevard county is a South Florida
county and had more than six dele
gates at the st. Augustine meeting.
And Brevard county has more miles
of state roads than any other county
in the state and is making them all
good roads.
Orange Is another South Florida
good roads county that had more than
six delegates present at the ST. Au-
gustine meeting.
And Dade county, in w. r. Maxwell
and others, had good roads represen-
tatives overlooked by the Tribune.
When the good roads fight gets un-
der way the Tribune will find that 90
per cent OF the state press will Tabor
the constitutional amendment as the
best and quickest way to get good
roads-Titusville Star-Advocate.

Will Women Vote?

Will women vote. if given the OPP
portunity?
There Is only one answer to this
question, especially In st. Petersburg
She will and does in municipal cleo
tons. In fact her percentage in this
regard in ST Petersburg is better than
that of man. Figures on the elections
held in this city since woman suf-
frage became effective will prove that
comparing the number qualified with
those who vote we find women stand
ing ahead of men at almost every cleo
ton.
Commenting on this question of
whether women will vote when she is
enfranchised by adoption of the fed
eral amendment, the Jacksonville Me-
tropolis says:
The Tampa Morning Tribune states
that it does not believe there are
$4,000 women in Florida who will vote
on the Ides of November, if they are
given the opportunity"
The Tribune makes a grevious mis-
take in adding the phrase, "if they are
given the opportunity" Our Tampa
contemporary must remember that
women, whether they are advocates or
opponents of suffrage have a high
sense Of duty and responsibility, a
sense that the men of this nation have
never and never will equal; and if the
national constitution extends to the
women the privileges of the ballot, to
them it will become a duty and re-
sponsibility.
When the amendment is made to the
Constitution, which we trust will be
shortly. it viii become a law. Advo-
Gates and opponents will automatically
enter into one class-eligibIe voters:
and the Tribune neglects an important
feature OF woman psychology if it
thinks these women who have opposed
the movement won't vote. This able
paper also believes that, If suffrage
was put squarely up to the women
Of F1orida-which will not be done
less than 10000 women would vote in
favor of it That is neither here nor
there But when the women of all
these United States are extended the
right which has been held from them
these many years. we predict that
more than $4,000 Florida women
will vote
