" KATE O'CONNOR MM WOMEN SHOULD GET VOTE I WTH IT Mi Owing to tlti' proininpiiop which Miss Knto O'Connor of Kuckfnnl, 111.. Iihb nchtovcri in public affairs Uinuijih her work on huhnlf of woman sulN iYttgo nntl other rcfonn movement'', Anything nlie hns to sny on such o.ues tions is of more than jmsMiig intercut. j unmucr 01 ner views exiiruj-fcti Thursdny follew: As I nm n strnngor hero I enn only mnko nn enruost plen from one wom nn to nnothcr. Women know how to keep a house elenn. Keeping the country clenn is jtihl nn cnlnrgenuMit of the snmc task. a ml women should vote on municipal housekeeping. For centuries woman hns been de pendent. Clubs during these lat few years have enabled woman to find herself. Kspecitilly have the con ventions helped. The women on the rostrums, nt the conventions, have been of nil clnses and creeds. The club spirit teaches women to disagree harmoniously to disagree honestly, and without making their differences of opinion personal. I have been around in your stores. The prices hero are too high for the wnges paid your working men. You should work for a minimum wage. There arc not many poor in Hock ford, Illinois, but the factory opera tives livo from hand to mouth. A child labor law hns been exacted af ter great effort. The ehild is entitled to n decent youth in which to prepare for the battle of life. In passing this Inw women were grently handicapped by not having a vote. I had to ask for the votes of the mnn who clenned out my office and the one who blnck ed my shoes. Not that I would dism gnrd their opinions, but I should be as well able to express one. I worked in the office of the county clerk mid there drilled men in the way to vote. I also helped to natur alize nliens. Their first thought was of the vote, as soon as they bad Mvom allegiance. I wanted the same right. These men could walk right out and vote to assess my property which I had worked hard to acquire for street improvements, when they had no property. Once I wus explaining to one of these naturalized aliens how to vote nn Australian ballot. After I had explnined how to vote the straight ticket, and then how to vote the split ticket, I snid : "I hope some day to sec you bring your wife to the polls.'" "Womens vote," he snid. "Xo, not know enough!" Women do not vote the st might ticket. In California thoy voted the hplit ticket. Neither do they vote for fanatics. They were thoughtful voters. Standpatters ure not intelli gent. They are throwing dust in the eyes of the women. One reason why women want the vote is to protect their children. In Chicago in the crowded districts, the children ploy in the alleys. In one alley was a huge pile of garbage, and a pool of water. The water became contaminated from the garbage. A little child drank the water, fell HI with typhoid fever, started an epi cdmic of typhoid and died. All the women in the neighborhood had tried for n week to have the garbage re moved, and the pool drained, but thoy were not electors and hud no pull with the aldermen. There aro many thread worn argu ments ngain&t women going to the polls to vote; in order to pay your taxes you walk up to a window and pass in a check. It is just the same as voting. I would very much dislike to be called n, "perfect lady." I want no hnlo round n. womnn'b head, but very much prefer a rat. I uiu tired of be ing a shining example and want to bo down in the thick of the tight, Women should work. If they do not they get into mischief. American men are very fair to women. Women develop when they begin poor and forgo ahead by their own efforts. I had a friend who wrote poetry when young. She was a reiuarkablo woman, but wrote only when inspired. If she had had to work hIio would huvo developed her talent, but hhe let it (ilo. This is ft most beautiful country. You should thank God you arc alive. Ho rturo to work together. I live in republican precinct whero nomination is equivalent to (taction. Ro sure to fei'c your men hoforo their nomination or at least, before their eject ion. Oct them to hay how (hoy stand on votes for women. Those who aro not for you are against you. TJioro it) no uso in talking to them nftor they have gone to the legisla ture, Thoy aro thore. Generally they will pass some bill with a string to it, so thoy can pull it back. Women don't want bouquets with a string.

By remedying tin they will reuiedv the others as well. I have always had confidence ?ii women. Women should advocate convict labor for good road. I have had friends in the state peuiteutiary in Illinois- and have been there to sec them. I do not believe in life im prisonment for anything. Put these men on the roads. Governor West's work is a sermon to the whole United States. Hefonn atories are rather defonnntories for boys. When Governor West took the initiative in this work he had hope that men could be redeemed bv labor in God's beautiful sunshine. We ore the keepers of our brothers and sis ters. More lima our -commercial in terests, us we grow older, we care for the saving of men. We should not box them up. If there is any thing in them, give them a chance. If you ever judge a woman, suspend sentence, mul give her another trial. Women must make twice as good in any jMisitiou ns a man. Women have not been fair to women. Women's clubs make for sweeter, truer friend ship. Give your girls the same chance iw your boys. Woman's work and place is every kind -of work, nmj every place. There is no sex in intellect. There is no ?ex in government. Pro tect your children bv having pure food and n clean city. Give evervonc a helping hand. JmJ FRECKLE-FACE N"cv Hcmedy That Hemoves Freckles or Cwts Nothing.
