SHOULD NOT ovEEsrEP HER PRIV. ILEGRs.

Dear SGters of the Social Corner: One of the most popular subjects of the pres ent day Is the advent Of women to the ballot box. + has Its various sides for comment. like every thing else that is talked about. The poem entitled, "Wo- men Are Free at Last In All the Land, recently contributed to the Corner page, appealed to me as the best argument for women's defense of her legal rights. Un- due criticism has been proclaimed against q woman having any. voice, as to where or how her money shall be expended in public ways and means. The married woman, with yuor children, especially has been told, her. place is at home, and she should give no time to these af- fairs; that, belongs to the men. The wife and mother has heretofore been too much regarded witl, opposition. Her lot has been the silent partner of the house hold, on the voting question Mrs Edith Roosevelt, widow of the ex-p-esident, has an excellent appeal to all women of this country to make use of their rights in be l ing made voters, and to take an interest in these things which pertain to them equally as to all men. With due re- 1 spect to the man. as the head of the l house, yet he should be willing (ant many are), that the wife may share Witt 1 him. an independent vote on all affair
 of school, town, state and nation 1 think woman should not oyerstep he
 privileges, and become too conspicuous b, l her fair personality.
 With freedom and justice, may we cas our ballot this year, for the first time i, the history of our country, to share il
 the choice of this people for ieade
 within our boundaries. Hoping that tn candidate .who' shall be elected will prov
 for the best interests we are seeking t obtain.
 Yours for womar's vote
