Tho women of this country will have the right to vote as they have in California and Ithey will have that right aoon. The uoliticans who have laughed I at woincu suffrage and those that would not even mention the subject for fear of seemng ridiculous are suddenly Interested in women and their opinions. A good many of them ure hypo crites In their protestations of belief in woman's intelligence. But hyp ocrites, going In one direction, do the work as well as sincere men when the hypocrites are numerous enough. livery candidate running for Pres ident In the United States today has declared himself In favor of votes for women, either at once or "by and by". Never before in the history of the country has a serious candidate for tile Presidency in one of the old parties declared flatly In favor of woman suffrage. THAT IS PROGRESS, AT LEAST. Readers of this newspaper have done as much as any agency, as any body of citizens In the country, to create public opinion In favor of wo man suffrage. Eery Intelllgent render should make It his business or her business lo continue tho agitation, demand ing on all occasions the right to which women are entitled, until the disgrace of classing women with "children, Indians and idiots" shall be wiped out In every State In the United States. It Is a good thing, in your argu ment, to explain the ballot and Its meaning the character of thOBe that advocate women suffrage. It Is Important also to explain the opposition to women suffrage and the character of those who oppose It. j The ballot Is the weapon that men i use In defending their rights. It is ;the voice with which meu express j their opinions, their wishes, as to : law. In the more settled cdvlliza linns where the ballot Is the recog nized power. ; Little by little the mass of the people that is to say, the men i have sot the ballot. Originally there I was no ballot. Savage tribes held ! disorganized meetings nnd shouted their opinions. The loudest shouters won. and the man who could hit the hardest led the others. Little by little tho big man form- jed his own opinion was confined to one or to a few leaders, gathered under a chief; or, where religion ruled, opinion was controlled by the priests In the old temples making up their minds what would he good FOR THRU and forcing their will on ignorant people. i Tor man; centuries tho kings, the nobles and the priests ruled nnd the people had nothing to say. MUX AMI WOMEN ALIKE WERE WITH OUT THE VOTE. Little by little men got the vote, and now, in civilized countries, un iversal suffrage Is tho rule, AS j REGARDS MEN. The women tiro shut out because i men always have had the idea that voting was in some way connected with fighting. Their thoughts went ! back to the old savage mob shouting Its determination to attack and kill leaving tho women at homo. And I he Ignoring of women persists, al though little by little the voting pow er has been used, not to make war. RUT TO PREVENT WAR. In England the Commons, rcpro. senVing (the voters, nised voles to prevent the King from fighting by ! refusing to gl0 hljn money, j Now in every country calling It j self civilized the chier use of the , ballot Is to express Ideas of enro 'Justice. The ballot that was once I (lie expression ot man's lighting j quality Is now the expression of his jllETTER NATURE. AND FOR THAT REASON IT IS TIME TO GIVE THAT BALLOT TO THE IIETTER HALF OF THE HUMAN j RACE -TO THE WOMEN THAT : HAVE CIVILIZED IT. i Tho weapon of power, the right to I decide WHAT! Now the majority ot men having taken power Into iheir own hands, I education and civilization gradually replacing brutality, power Is used not for oppression, but for Justice, enlightenment nnd for tho general good. It Is time therefore to permit wo men, representing Justice, morality nnd every good element In humai. nature, to play their part In tho mak ing of laws and to share equally with man the right to say what disposi tion shall be made of the children that women give to the world and of the property that these children produce. Supporters of woman suffrage are, .'id for many years have been, the J lHst men in tlio country. Men that are unselfish, Just, scorning ridicule and proud to vin dicate the rights of their own mothers and sisters, have long demanded votes for women. The women that have worked and x fought for the, suffrage have been. beyond all comparison, the best wo men of this and other countries. Humorists U3ed to talk of "short li aired women and long-haired men" as the advocates of woman suffrage. That is a foolish and false decision. The women with Rood foreheads. earnest, gentle and dignified faces. have been the advocates of votes for women. The women with low foreheads, plastered with hair, the women with Iheir faces painted, the women with ; a hundred thoughts for dress and no thought for anything else, have been the opponents of woman suf frage. And the men, brutal, conceited, looking upon woman as a piece of projwrty created for man's pleasure or his service, have been The Mn Tlmt Opposed Suffrage. Luckily the day of ridicule, slan der and sneering has gone by. Wherever women have voted they have lettered conditions. In Colorado, where the men had acquiesced in a plan to defeat a just judge, the women elected him. In New Zealand, where women long have voted, there is not a man so fooHah as to suggest a change to the old and unjust system. True, there are some good women that oppose woman suffrage. And there were some good, well meaning slaves that disliked Abra--ham Lincoln for his proclamation of freedom. They wanted to stay slaves and still depend on "Good OP Massa." There are some nice, dull, uni maginative, ignorant, well meaning and good women that wish to remain slaves and depend upon "Good OP Mt;isa," tho man. I But for one good gent' s and well; meaning woman who attacks woman j suffrage there nre a dozen whose on ly thought is for the admiration ol men, and a hundred whose lives arc mode up of vanity, flirtation and fully. These last, especially when they have passed fifty years of age. are si riving in every ridiculous wa to attract nu-n's attention usually in vain. One of their favorite meth ods of attracting attention la to pro fess their own weakness and express horror at the thought that they ihoutd ever vote or escape from the protecting coat-tails of man. Another class, opposed to woman ! suffrage is the most dangerous class j of all. That is the class that would keep! in lm.iMiire women, nnd men, too, j If it could. Thor.0 thai prey upon the ignor ance nnd superstition of women nr anxious that women shall know as little as possible. They do not want thnwomen to vote, for voting moan thinking, and thinking means freedom But women will vote, and the vote will come to them soon. In many States of this country ; women vote already. The other j States will follow, for this coining election, with hundreds ofthousands of women voting, will convince even ; the dullest that woman, who has j born the henvy burden of life and j its struggles through tho ages, pos- j senses the power of think and to! decide every question of importance' to herself and to her children. t It will not always be said that the! woman who scrubs, washes, cooks. mends and goes without sloop to take care of her family Is deprived of n voice in the community while the vile drunkard, whose vote Is for sale Tor money or for whisky, may vote to maintain tho Conditions that suit him. live upon her earnings and look down upon her as his luferlor, classed with the Idiots, the Indians and the children. Women will vote, and you who Iread this newspaper should work to bring about an end of the present unjust system. SHALL UK DOXR, is the weapon that the ballot, box gives to the peo ple.
