seemed so Incongruous to think of her

Oerard Whltcomb had truly said, "the

man who seemed so different from hi

bir lift aa a teacher in thl isolated

of helping In the great work of civilis

her companion detected the magnitude
of the undertaking of which aba spoke
so confidently or, the difficulties whtoh
must beaet tha path of all who labor
In auch a field. It. waa, no doubt, an
ordinary enough occasion, and one which

Dorothy Strong, as well as to her com

a charming break in the monotony of

settlement work done In our large cities
a wall as in many kinds of charitable
suffrage. Permit me to challenge their
statements. .
- First What facts do they present to
prove that granting auffrag to th
women of Oregon would result In last
ing Injury to our beloved atatat None.
If we turn to those states where women
do vote and ask their commercial men,
"whose feet are guided by the lamp of
experience," what effect -woman suf
frage, haa had on the financial and so
cial interests of thoa aUtea, w shall
find that they can give facta and fig
urea to prove that th reeulta, in all
particulars, ar favorabl to th uplift,
progress and development of those com

Second As a woman wage-earner,
who la endeavoring to do her ahare of
th'world's ' work.- a-taxpayer Hn -two
counties of the - Willamette valley, I
ask, thera on what authority de they
base their statement that a majority
of the women of Oregon do not want
the ballot! . On the authority of II so
ciety women of Portland T I most ear
neatly desire th right of suffrage and
I repreaent scores of other wage-earning
woman whq likewise desire it : It
has been said that where I9,00 women
oppose it 100,000 ere for it ; -
Not long ego the' business-' men of

SquaX araffrag la Washington, '
Portland. May II. To tho Editor ot
Th Journal I notice that suffragists
say mucn' about the benefits realised to
those' ststes where women have th
ballot Now, It Is an undeniable fact
that our tlster state, Washington, when
a - territory, tried woman suffrage.
Women sat aa Jurors. What were the
results t" Surely ther could net have
and . humanitarian . movements every
where.' Bat- st times It waa .more
lonely and harder than the girl had an
ticipated, and aha often missed the
bright, wholesome - life of youth, - end
sooial diversion from which aha had
voluntarily Separated herself. In thua
meeting Stand ford Clay and hla com
panion,'' therefore, there-wa -an aleJ
tnent of romance which seemed born
ot th conditions surrounding them. Be
that as it may, th work planned by
Professor Hendry - proved to require
more research than he had at flrat imagined-
and the time allotted for it
lengthened - out Into weeks before the
task was completed.
During thee aummer days both Dorev
thy and Clay created for themaelvaa an
atmosphere go full of eubtle intereat
and unexpressed emotion that when the
lumbering stag finally whirled away
those who had bean the strangers of so
short a time ago, it waa to leav behind
a void la th girl' lif and an unde
fined ache in her heart which it seemed
impossible t believe h bad vr been
without. There had been mutual prom'
Ises of - letters- between Dorothy-end
Clay, but no word of th future be
yond that even the letters were to
have a aort of warrant in some pictures
takes- of -Dorothy, which were te be
sent to her for hr approval.' Almoat
before it was poeslbl for letter to
reach her from tha far off land beyond
the mnuntalna Dorothy began to watch
for the arrival of the semi-weekly mall
wtth feverish Impatience. .But alas for
the romance of a summer's day, neither

been purifying nor of great benefit to
that portion of the United States, else
some suffrage writer or speaker would
have told us of It. ,
Woman . auf frecewaa not . eon ttnued

Drain, Or., May 10, To the Editor of
The Journal Tha time will aoon b here
when we ahall see If th men of Oregon
believe In "equal rlghta to all, special
privileges to none.
When the women of. Oregon demand
the power to vote, they ask only Juetlce,
and every unprejudiced man will be
willing to grant them thla demand.
Why ahould a mother power be lim
ited, while drunkards and gamblers and
Ignorant men of every shade and na

Those women wlid do not take enough
Intereat- In our- atate to care to vote

Slowly the months passed, ss even
long, dreary winter months have way
ot doing, and again it wa aummer in
the mountains... The winter had been a
trying one for Dorothy, but ahe kept
bravely on with her chosen work. ' de
spite dark days and many a heart
ache. - - 4
Sue .welcomed the return of the mild
weather, for It enabled her to Indulge In
her passion for long walk among the
silent aolltud of the hills. - From on
of the aha wa returning Just at sun
set one memorable day, and waa won
dering once "more why she had never
had a Una or word from her oompanlon
of the previous summer. When her long
waiting had proved so futile she had
blamed herself for ever having really
expected the promised letter ah had
told haraelf a tbouaand times that she
had misinterpreted Clay's manner) that
hla earnest glances and quick apprecia
tion of her had meant nothing - more
than th polite attention . and - pretty
speeches of the other members of his
party. .
If she had not been attracted to Oer
ard Whltcomb nor to Raymond Duncan,
and had Insanely cherished every word
of Clay", why that was ber own folly.
She had only herself to blame, and ahe
would dlsmla the whole matter from
hrmtnd.7 Onthts parttiralar afternoon
ahe wa asking herself thl' question
with acut elf-rproc(i, for sh real
ledr how miserably she had -failed In
herbrav resolution to forget. Slowly
sh approached th house along a wood
ed pathway) the protecting mountains
towered above her; the thread of a river
flung U silver iength in. the valley br
low. and the far-off murmur of the cow-
feil. flatea-p t hf lust they had
done, in the summer moonlight of that
flrat' evening with 'Clay all seemed o
unchanged, except the face of the girl
herself. c v
frsgtst have the better of the argu
ment We had not thought of taking a
hand in the discussion until D. M., In
last Saturday's Issue, provoked 'our pen
to th defense of woman and equal suf
frage. D. it aaya: "It la generally
conceded by all well balanced minds
that women are not as strong naturally
as' ars men, either physically or man
tally." ' Which ahowa hla Ignorance of
tha capacity and ability of woman.
Practically woman has kept pace with
man wherever given opportunity and
privilege. He says:. "Ood made man In
his own image." Ws admit It is so re
corded. But man aoon loat that image,
and went out Into the world a free,
moral and aome what self -conceited animal-with
A soul. -If th menof th
world today bear the Image of Ood we
think God -himself would have a vary
poor opinion of his Image. The only
Image of Ood that men bear today la
Chrtat the Savior, made of woman, and
of Ood. It Is vey strange that while
men aay they are In the Image of the
great creator, they still continue In the
works of the devil. . Tet we believe
there are good men who have the bet
terment of humanity at heart but they
are In the minority and need the help
of all good women, and that help cannot
ba better given t than at ' the ballot
Doubtless If It war not for personal
selfish jnotlvea, auffrag would go
through. - JULIA MAXSKLL.

She had taken of f her light summer

of th waning light or did that towering
mountain throw a deeper shads aoroaa
