DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL, 8ALEM, OREGON. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1904. OEVEN f LECTOR REPLIES TO MOTHER e States Anti Fe male Suffrage Ar guments Minks the Privilege of Vot ing Would Turn Some Bad Women Loose Editor Jeurnal: In your dally is- ue of January 30, thoro appears n cttor from a mother who wishes to to. Bho begins by sayinir that sho snnot bco why local editors should aro ap Ilttlo roapect for' tliolr wives, o thorn and daughtors as to refuso hom tho right to voto. And that Is uot Hko tho women who aro dying to ndortako tho work of mon they can over see but one sldo to a question, less tho dear woman, I can answor e question; It Is bocauso tholr fwives, mothers and daughtors do not ant to, voto, and ask to bo rolloved 5f tho duties and responsibilities hlclt voting necessarily entails. Bo- Idca, thoy have soon so much ovll of nen and womon mingling togethor lthout any restraint that thoy ob- ect to them leaving tholr puro homos .nl forsaking tholr other avocations to onter tho dirty pool of politics. olltjcs has corrupted many of our est mon, and editors know full well ihat It would havo tho snmo offoct on woman. And womon onco corrupted, whenever tho taint of suspicion rests upon thorn tho wholo fabric of soci ety rota and tumbles away. "Every no knows," says this mother, "that If tho Christian women woro voters they would voto tho saloon and 'tho majority of Its acompanylng evils ut of existence" That the Christian womon would try to voto tho saloon ut of oxlstenco may bo tmo. But tho Christian womon aro la. a minor ity. Sutfrago would "enfranchise" too worst olomonta among woman hood, as woll as tho Christian, and that is ono reason tho women of "Wyoming novor attempted to do any thing for tho boncflfc of themselves or tho state. Tho slncoroly Christian mother thoso who.contlnuo to live with their husbands seldom camo to I tho polls, whllo tho bold, sharaoless and crimson-faced always did. With out a particle of modosty thoy can vassod and log-rolled for tholr favor- R Ito candidates, and In numerous In stances wont swaggering round tho lotroots half intoslcatod, to tho dls- sust of tho real ladl03 of tho coun try. This lhothor says that womon votora would banish saloons from tho eland.

Just arrived, Val entines. 94 Court St. Asaora M. YftUh, Fros of tho present movoment, would not Interfero with them. If men wanted io urink whisky, sho would" allow thorn to havo It. I havo hoard her say so. Ono mother says, down with tho saloons; tho other says, No; whose dictum aro wo to take for it? If we appeal to tho suffrage states, Mrs. Dunnlway will bo found to bo right, for they cortalnly have dono nothing to suppress thorn. Then this mother refers to that awful outrage at Col fax, Wash., tho details of which aro too filthy to discuss or oven think of. If I had my way, I would havo a moral and Intellectual qualification in our franchise law, by which such brutos would bo dobarred from vot Ing. If women were to work for such an "nmondmont" as this, thoy would find many men to support thorn, and it would do infinitely moro good than this continuous agitation for fomnlo suffrage. Instead of adding to tho dangorous voting olemont wo sohuld curtnll it until all tho dangerous classes woro disfranchised. This mother objects also to tho nogro mon voting, but of courso, sees no objoc-' tlon to tho "onfranchlsoment" of ne gro womon, who aro far loss lntolll- gont than tholr husbands. To return to tho Colfax outrage again; poor Ina Leo, tho victim of these brutos, only omphnslzos tho position of a child without a homo and mother some thing wo would oncounter quite ofton whon our mothers and wives should bo turned Into political apejlblndors, porambulatlng tho country, sitting In Juries or occupying soats in the leg islature. This outrngo was not tho outcome of our voting system. No self-respecting man would ondorso It moro than a good woman. It was tho result of bad bringing up, and might occur undor unlvorsnl suffrage as wo'l as undor man suffrage. A caso oxactly similar to this occurred in Colorado not long ago. But no ono thought of charging it to women voting any furthor than tho neglect of homo teaching could bo hold respon sible, for "what Is homo without a mother?" Slnco this Colfax business has boon roforrod to by this mother, I may bo Justified In calling her at tention to a somewhat similar caBe: A fow years ago a couplo of miscre ants in Albany (If I romombor cor rectly) draggod a girl into a freight car, kept hor thoro through tho night and a sceno similar to that of Col fax occurred. Ono of tho men per haps both wore arro3tod, brought be fore tho court, wore prosecuted by a man attornoy,. tried by a Jury of mon and 'wore, sontonccd by a man. Judgo to flvo years In, tho ponltantiary, Af tor tho lapse of a year or so" a peti tion for ills pardon was carriod around and slgnod by pretty much all tho womon of Albany many of them ox collont women, no doubt but ontlroly too sympathetic and lacking that sonso of duty duo to a diabolical In sult to tholr own sax. Tho petition statod that tho young -scoundrel had already suffered sufllclontly for his crimo. It came before Governor Geer and to his credit ho declined to ln torforo with tho sontonco of tho court. Tho country has a right to bo .thank ful that thoro was a man govornor in tho chair. And it is not unfair to presume that If thoso vllllans at Col fax shall bo arrested, tried, found guilty, and sontencod to tho ponlton tlary for tholr natural llvos a torm not at all too long tho womon In that section of tho country will bo found signing a petition to tho gov ornor, asking that thoy be sot at lib orty. Tills shows tho danger of put- tins women in power; of having them assume tho duties of men; for how ever capablo, alort and intellectual thoy may bo in most lines, thoy are entirely unfitted by constitution and nature to administer tho law, Justice and government Tha very constltu 'tloii of woman proves naturo's laws, and wjien a woman attempts to as sume tho prerogative of man she be comes a hybrid, with none of man's strength and less of a woman's in nate sweetness", AN ELECTOR.

And If thoy ovor got half a chanco In congress they would never allow such a bill as tho (In) famous Dick law to pass and wo should not bo away ahoad of Rus sia nml Germany In conscripting sol dlore. But It Is a groat mlitnko to say they would bnmboosle tho logls iators. Don't you know tho mon would lose all respect for them If thoy couldi vote? Thoy would bo so dis courteous to them that thoy would novor glvo thorn a chanco to steal a bill In transit from one houso to an- other. Also th-y would lose all tholr Influonco as lobbyists. Then tiioy might make all man kind nshamod of thomselvos by do ing something for tho advancement of real lnitalllgonce and civilization, as Evo did whon sho ate tho npplo and persuaded that old mudsill, Adam he was mado of dirt to ,do like wise. Of courso, woman has a right' to liro, but not to llborty and tho pursuit of happiness, Sho should tako what llborty tho mon chooso to glvo her and never mind nbout the happlnoss. Thoy have had to lot hor preach and lecture somotlmos. Sho la full of gab and thoy could not stop her. Then If .sho could voto, the same as men, sho might got tho same pay for tho samo kind of work as thoy do. And they would not havo tho pleasure of calling hor a scab aud othor nnmm for underbidding them and gottlng tho Job. Of courso, thoro aro tho old reasons about neg lecting hor household, otc, etc. You know It would tako so much tlmo for hor to inform horself so as tq equal tho avorngo man In political knowl edge. About thoso Pensylvanla Gor man womon farmers; I think that Is flno, for if thoso mom who got to tho cities spend their money in "riotous living" or "go broko" for any reason, thoro aro tho mothers and tho sisters taking caro of things nt homo, ready and willing to kill tho fatted calf for them whoa thoy return. Respoctfully, CARRIE V. LINDSLY. Another Lady Writes. Editor Jeurnal: It is vory hard to bo patient with Buch pcoplo as "Elect or" and "A Woman From Turner." Thoy feel so confldont that thoy can sottlo this question of "equal rights" onco and for ovor, notwithstanding tho fact that It has boen puzzling tho brains of tho most thoughtful mon and women slnco tho Christian ora. Christ freed woman by oponlng to hor tho long closed doors of spiritual knowkdgo. Slmplo women havo boen meditating on this quostlon in tho solltudo of tholr homos and they havo nt last dotormlnod to possess tills spiritual llborty, and to becomo Indood as woll as In namo, daughters of a groat immortal king. Wo can not soparato mon and womon; thoy must rlso and fall togothor. In pro portion as womon is olovated and promotod, in that proportion Is civi lization advanced. What is weal for ono sox cannot bo woo for tho othor, If (as thoso pcoplo tell us) it will de grade a woman to go to tho ik11b, it must in tho vory nature of things, bo dogradlng to hor husband. If granting woman tho privilego of a lo gal opinion "would bo tho ruination of tho sox, undonnlno tho bulwarks of tho nation, tear down and destroy tho homo," thosd things aro built on "sinking sand," and we had better let them go, start again and build on tho "solid, rock" of equal human tights. Whdn this question was to bo submitted to tho votors, sovoral years ago, tho Oregonian reiterated tlmo and again, "Womon do not want to voto; if thoy did thoy would voto." I mado up my mind to And out as far as I could If that statement was tmo. I did it by making a house to houso visitation In our own precinct. I reasoned If tho women in this pre cinct say "no," I will consider that pretty good evidence that tho rest of tho women In tho stato aro of tho samo mind. I did not complete tho canvass, but I spent two days and I visited ovory houso I camo to, as far as I wont, and I did not find a woman who was not ready and anxious to mako sacrifices for tho privileges of legally expressing herself on thoso subjects which so vitally affect tho happfness of the wives and mothers and sisters of men and boys. In or der that moral right may bo incor porated into social right womon as well as men must be free to choose and act as they wish. It is not freedom whoro necessity alone rules; there may bo success or tiers may bo failures, but no free dom. That "Wemen: From Turner" acknowledges that wo could voto as Intelligently as men, and that wa should have the privilego; then why did she sot up those frightful straw "bug-a-boos" and try to keep us from exercising a sacred God-given right? Educators dispute over tho freedom of tho will; but It Is an empty con test so long as thoy overlook tho fact that individual freedom doponds on social conditions. ' Free will Is an il lusion If it does not ond In freo ac tion, .and free action is impossible so long as ono-half of tho human race Is denied tho right of free logal opin ion. When woman can tako hor place by tho sldo of man, whoro God Intend ed sho should be bo his companion, hlB holp-ranto, his equal, legally as woll as mentally and morally wo I shall havo fowor- divorces and far nappior, Healthier and moro reason able woman. And last, but not lest, happlor mem, for both .sexes Bhall re alize that they aro human and that humanity has wlda duties' and desires for both. ONE OF THE MANY TURNER WO MEN WHO WISH TO .VOTE.
