fecting their rearing and surround
ing? 1t isn't a pleasant thing for
one to think of, to know that there
are states where the father can will
or deed away the child without the
mothers consent. We ought to quit
thinking that 1t takes a giant. bulg-
ing-browed intellect to consider and
vote on the issues of the day. Such
q mental attitude reminds me of the
colored man listening to a candidate
who from the platform was extoll-
ing his abilities. Another colored
can came along and after listening
TO the orator for a while. turned to
his friend SAY Sam, who all is dis
hya white MANI" Sam in reply said,
Il dunno Pete. but he sho' does rec
ommend hisself highly"
Some say that many women will
not vote If they are given the right.
Gov. Dunno of Illinois says to the
contrary as the record of two years
shows. But what IL they don't, how
often is the full registry of votes
cast in this and other states? As
DIR. Shaw says, what difference does
it make anyway. But. wherever wo-
men has been given the ballot, h
has used it increasingly from the
first, and her right has been
repealed.
For sixty-seven ysars the woman
wanting suffrage has been hammer
ing at the gates of masculine preju-
dice. What the male voter acquired
without an effort she has been fight
ing for since 1S4S. Therefore l hope
the vote to give them the amend
ment on October 10th, will be a
unanimous one, for they have made
and are making the finest fight this
state mas ever seen. And after all.
why not? With apologies to Shakes
peare, thrice armed are they who
have their quarrel just.
Every truly yours.
