Three causes stirred the American
heart and resulted in giving the bal
lot to women. The first and under.
lying cause was mans belief that ii

tical as well as a social and civic
equal Another cause was considera-
tion of her wider spread of knowl-
edge of and interest in the world s
problems above and beyond her hith-
erto concern about affairs of the
household. A third reason was the
hope and expectation that woman as
a voter would use her newly acquir-
ed power for the worlds betterment,
purging it of much of the grossness,
corruption, graft, and hypocrisy with
which society is at present afflicted.
For surely If woman, with finer
sensebilities, her higher ideals, her
disgust with many of the types of
men who for selfish reasons of the
male voter, have been injected into
office, does nothing to purify the
moral and political atmosphere, then
the country has gained nothing by
comforting suffrage upon her. But she
should come to the rescue of the
country's bad government not as a
partisan but rather as a statesman,
thinking and voting and legislating
on plane far above the ordinary
voter. Not a Republican, not as a
Democrat, not as a Socialist, but as

The largest religious body of Ne

but only to enforce that which is laid
down for all citizens of the United

Mr.. Harding, with tears in his eyes,
addressed us, and among other things
paid high compliment to the race
for its great achievement and prom

any discrimination because of blood

"Not So Easily Handled"

That Colored women in the South,
enfranchised by the Woman Suffrage
Amendment, will be less easy to in
timidate out of voting than men, is
the assertion of the Current Bulletin
of the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People.
"Colored women are not going to
be as easily handled" says the Bulle-
tin, nor are they going to summit to
disfranchisement as readily as Color
ed men in the past. Their record Of
protest against prejudice during past
years is proof of that fact"
The Advancement Association is
urging its branches throughout the
country to form classes for the train
ing of newly enfranchised women in
the duties and privileges of voting.
