The mentally emancipated worker cannot
help but view with distrust the recent granting,
after many years Of bitter struggle, of the right
of suffrage to more than twenty million women.
The idea is spreading among the workers more
and more that no permanent good can ever be
gotten. under the capitalist system, through the
medium of voting. When they really want any
thing they use other means-the strike, for in
stance. This is true of the every day struggle.
Voting also, cuts little figure in the calculations
of those who are seriously thinking and working
to organize the workers for future control Of in
dustry and government.
But, more to the point, can woman suffrage,
excepting through it's educational possibilities,
help the masses of working people? NO. In the
first place, the capitalist politicians wouldn't have
granted it if this were the caSe They are in the
business of hamstringing the working class, not
helping it out But more detailed reasons why wo-
man suffrage does not menace the control of the
parasite class can be given if they are needed.
Working Women in Minority
The majority of women who got the vote and
who will use it most were the women of the up
per crust and midde-class elements. These wo-
men are well satisfied with things as they are and
will not support any effort to change them by the
ballot OF other means. They can be safely trust
ed to act on the side of the capitalists and against
the wokers whenever the issue is raised in an
election Their votes, as well as their hearts, will
be where their treasure is.
Besides the fact that majority of the wo-
men voters will be of non-working class elements
it is the way the suffrage is juggled and control-
ed that makes assurance doubtly sure for the rul-
ing class. Throughout the country we see the
wives of the rich men organizing propaganda
societies for the purpose of educating" women
voters to their particular brand of politics. The
mediums of publicity are open to them-the press,
pupits, magazines, etc. The working class press
and othesmeans of spreading propaganda and in
formation are pitifuly small in comparison.
Woman suffrage, on the whole will be con-

servative force Indeed, that is why the capitalist
class permitted women to have the VOTE In order
to overcome the growing disillusonment among
the workers in regard to the ballot, the ruling
class must steadily increase-or, rather, pretend
to increase-suffrage rights 1t is hardly likely
that suffrage rights will be taken away entirely
although it has been done, in effect in many cases
by short-sghted politicians such as those who
controlled the New York Assembly and who fired
out the five elected socialists because they didn't
like their looks
The Ballot Box Illusion.
But the wise" capitalists are not in favor of
this kind of action because that destroys one of
their strongest weapons-the illusion of the work
ers that through the ballot they really have some
thing to say about the government.
Capitalism needs for it's preservation every
tool that it now makes use of. AS long as the
workers are willing to have their slavery con-
firmed by elections, the ruling class will not OBJ
ject. They will even permit special elections in
between the regular ones for that purpose if ne
cessary.
AS we have said, this delusion about the
value and power of the ballot in the hands of the
workers is one of the things that holds capitalist
rule up. Sooner or later we have got to get it out
of our heads. 1t is true that working class part
les in other countries have pade good use of pol
itcal campaigns for propaganda purposes And
once in while a true revolutionist like Liebknecht
has been elected to legislative body and used it
as sounding board for revolutionary speeches.
This is necessary to be done, and no doubt it will
be done here in this country.
But this is only sabotaging the governmental
institutions not trying to them for the purpose
of emancpating the workers. This is a job that
cannot be done through the use of any machinery
made for the purpose of enslaving them. A gov
eminent suited to the needs of the working class
would be one in which the right to vote would be
restricted to productive workers. Then all the
power would lie in their hands and suffrage

REV. ]. ]. DICKEY.

The staying Of the giant, Goliath, by
David brought him into prominence.
King Saul retained him at his court
and gave him a command in the army.
Jonathan, Saul's Oldest son, fell des-
perately in love with David. But Saul's
jealousy was aroused by the acclama-
tons of the multitude who gave David
more honors than the King, in the
slaughter of the Philistines which fol-
lowed the killing of the giant. Saul's
object in putting David in the army
was to have him slain. He gave his
daughter Neickal in marriage, in the
hope that she would ensnare him. He
did this on condition that David would
present him with two hundred fore
skins of the Philistlnes and this was
done in the hope that he would lose
his life in the attempt. Then Saul
sought to STAY David with his own
hand by throwing javelin at him in
the dining ROOM This Infatuated John
athan, and bound him closer to David.
Jonathan knew that David was to
supplant him in the kingdom for he
was heir apparent to the throne, be-
ing the eldest son. Already David out
ranked him in the army. But none of
these things affected his friendship for
David. He even expostulated with his
father because of his rashness and in
justice. The love of Jonathan for
David has ever since been a proverb
in Israel and today 1t still exists
wherever the Bible Is read, 1t stands
at the head Of the great friendships of
the ages, What was the basis of this
friendship? What is the basis of all
lasting friendships? We answer mu-
tual worth. When two great souls are
knit together there is the hope of a
lasting friendship. Each can trust the
other. The conscious knowledge of
each others worth gives confidence.
There can be no abiding friendship
where this is lacking Distrust will
destroy friendships. Confidence is the
only bond that will stand the test.
Friendships must be sincere to abide
Where selfish motives are involved
there is no assurance of permanency.
AS soon as the selfish ends are attain
ed there will be collapse and friends
are liable to become enemies. See to
It that your friends wisely chosen, and
that no impure motive prompts your
choice.
Love is stronger than friendships.
Love thinketh no evil, is not easily
