This Is my paramount rea son for believing In suffrage. His tory, experience end civilisation show that the happiest homea are those where men and women keep together splrltualiy and Intellectually. Where they understand the same subjects and talk over and study the same prob lems they get that perfect sympathy and understanding that are the basis of a home.
