WOMEN OF OREGON SHOULD BE VOTERS Reasons Why Our Wives, Mothers and Sweethearts Ought to Hevve the Franchise. Perhaps, if you paused to think that the laws under which yon live, and whioh control the whole environment of your life, are the direct or the indi rect results of the averaged opinions which are pat into the ballot box, yon would incline to study the questions which pertain to the right of voting. Perhaps, if you realised that law guarantees, or restricts yonr own per sonal liberty, protects or jeopardizes yonr health, your home, yonr happi ness ; regulates the food yon eat, tbe clothes yon wear, the books yon read, tbe amusements you enjoy; in fact permits, or prohibits, yonr every act, yon won Id feel a serious obliga tion to inquire into the nature of such authority over you. PerhaDs, if you paused to think that law will never represent the highest intelligence or morality sinoe intelligence aud morality mast al ways be averaged at the ballot box with Ignorance and immorality, you would perceive that whenever intelli gence aud morality predominate over ignorance and immorality, the trend of civilization must be upward, and yon would search for such factors. Perhaps, then if yon would torn to the U. S Census for 1900 aud would learn that 18,330 more girls than boys were graduated from our high school the year previous, and that there are more young men of voting age unable to read their ballots than young women, aud also that only an insigni ficant per cent of crime is committed by women, and then by consulting your own observations and taking note that only a slight minority of the im moralities known to yon have been perpetrated by women, you wonld recognize in woman suffrage added intelligence and morality to the vot ing forces. Perhaps, if yoa knew that women are already voting upon all questions in Wyoming, Colorado, Utah and Idaho, aud that women vote as gener ally as men in those States, that al though there are fewer women than meu in all these Stales, they have cast fully half the total vote upou several occasions, yon would realize that women do not fail to perform their political duties, when onoe they ore conferred upon them. Perhaps, if yon knew that the buok si'llers of Denver reported that they had gold more books on Civil Govern ment and Political Economy in six mouths after women were enfran chised, than in 10 years before, you would be convinced that women ap preciate the respoiiMbility of voting, and prepare themselves to "adminis ter the sacran-ent of citizenship" in telligently. Perhaps, if yon paused to consider that when the government extends the privilege of voting to a citizen, it only fays to him, "we do not compel you to appear at the polls, we simply give yon the liberty to vote or not to vote, as you may desire;" but when the government refuses the privilege, it says "we compel you to remain away from the ballot box whether you wish to vote or not to vote, you shall not, " yon would see that woman suffrage is only one phase of the eternal warfare for human liberty. Perhaps, if you knew that erery ex cuse offered for the disfranchisement of women had done service in turn for every proposed reform in woman's conditions, viz., the higher education, property control, public speaking, the right of organization, etc., yon wonld the more readily perceive that each excuse is but the shadowy creation of unreasoning prejudice set up to affright the morbid imaginations of tha timid, and you would not be frightened. Perhap, if you observed that the opposition to woman suffrage comes from Statis where women do not vote aud is therefore based upon theory, while in no State", where tbe people have extended the suffrage to women aud therefore have had opportunities to observe the effects of its artual operation, has there been any effort to repeal such laws, yoa might feel n.ore confidence in the righteousness of the cause, aud be willing to work and vote to exteud that right to the women of On gnu, June 4th. Perhaps, if you knew that tho over whelming testimony from the most prominent, responsioie ana respect a citizens of the suffrage St.it'S. Bi;r e that woman suffrage has n It. d in better candidate for office, cleaner poll nig places, quieter electious, and improved legislation, and that women hive grown more intelligent, st-lf r - ' hint, re-pected and .vomanly under j i's i:if!ii"iice yen would f.-el it your j duty ti work f,r I ik roijlis i" cir- 1' p--, if y r- a ih- ,' . i l:u h tii.t woii'tu are not li f;au- chised because ' women do not want to vote;" "because good men fear the influence if bad women on politics, or bad politics on good women." as is commonly repoited; but because bad men fear the influenco of good women on bad politics and fear the influence of good politics over the affairs of bad men, yon would be ready to support the Equal Snrffage Amendment, and mark your ballot X opposite 803 for EQUAL SUFFRAGE, next Jane. Perhsps, if the mothers of Oregon knew that Judge Lindsay of Colora do, the greatest authority on child saving, considers a voting consti tuency of mothers as his most power ful ally, the women of Oregon would demand of Oregon men to confer upon Oregon mothers a like power. Perhaps, if you knew, as many do know, that the most active influences against tbe enfranchisement of women are corrupt political agencies which have resorted even to bribery, to pre vent the granting of tbe franchise, you would be led to believe that a cause to hated by the enemies of honest government, must be worthy of the support of honest people. Perhaps, if the women of Oregon realized that an alien coming to oor State, and ignorant of self govern: meat, oan vote within one year and make the laws under which American women live, the women who I ave aided in the development of Oregon would demand a like participation in the laws which affect their govern ment. APPEAL TO VOTERS BY TEMPERANCE PEOPLE The Proposed Amendment the Local Option Law ev Misnomer. to To the Voters of Josephine county and vicinity : A bill to be submitted to the legal electors of the state of Oregon for their approval or rejection at the re gular election to be held on the 4th day of Juue. To propose, by initia tive petition, a law to amend seotion 1 and to repeal sections 2, 3, 4, 6, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. 11, 13, 13, 14, 15, 10, 17, and 18 of our present Local Option Lliqor Law, which was enacted by tli people of the State of Oregon, uuder an iuitiative petition by vote aud election held at the general elec tion in June 1904, brings this great state to another crisis in its moral life. The question which we are asked to vote upon the official ballot is "For ameudmnt to the Local Op tion Law giving anti-prohibitionists and prohibitionists equal privileges. Vot Yes, or No." That is what the ballot says, but the bill says in its in troduction it is "A Bill to propose by iuitiative petition, a law to amend section 1." That is all the amend ment there is according to their own statement of the "proposed annnd ment. The bill continues thu,s : "and to repeal notice, repeal, not anicud sections 2, 8, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 13, 14. 15, 10, 17 and 18." Section 1, which they want amended reads iu the original, "Wherever 10 per cent of the legal voters of any precinct, township, or group of precincts or county shall petition the county court of any county for the privilege to determine whether . iutoxicants should be sold as a bevt rage or pro hibited in (aid district." The amend ment reads "whenever 30 per cent of the qualified electors of any precinct precinct only shall petition said county court." This amends the present la to require 30 percentof the votets instead of 10 per cent and this only for a freoiuct. The 10 per cent they claim is too low a percentage which enables a small number of men to keep the liquor agitation before the people all the time. This pe rcentage they claim is on just. But let ns see the constitutional amendment which permits the liquor interests to submit this amendment to a vote of the peo ple requires only 8 per cent while 5 per cent caa order an election under the referendum in all matters but local option. Wbv in the name of fair play, do the increase the required number to from four to six times the number required in other elections' The present law makes it diflicult for the druggist to sell liquor in a "dry" precinct or county, but the ro peal says "the doctor's prescriptions shall not be used but once." The Courier of l ist week gave the other point concerning this proposed i measure.
