THE RIGHT TO VOTE
YKAR8 ago at a certHln college In
the Middle West It whs the cut
torn of the undertrrudtiMtea to march
down town tome pleasant evening In
Miring and demand free admission to
the local theater. They accompa
nied this demand often with a good
deal of. fore aud. without right or
re ii son, did considerable dauiag. There
were broken heads often, and broken
glass, and on occaslou men were sent
away front college.
Hoping to solve the difficulty the
tlieater manager agreed at a denYlte
time to open the playhouses free of
ihiirge to those who had previously
demanded admission. It didn't Inter
est anyone. Having gotten what I hey
wanted, they didn't want It any more.
It Is about the suuie way with vot
ing In this country. As far bark as 1
can remember the women of this conn
try have been clamoring for the right
to vote, and to a greater or less de
gree they have been given that privi
lege. They made a good many prom
ises as to what things would be done,
what wrongs would be righted, what
reforms would be Instituted In such u
?vent, and some of these preiftctlons
have come to pass but not many.
No one. If one believes what he
Miyi when he rise to his feet to
make a patriotic speech, thinks more
highly of the right of suffrage than
does the American cltlien, and no civ
ilised cltlien In the world Is said to
me It less frequently than he doe.
Xo matter what the question I nnder
consideration or how Important its so
lution to the community most men and
women expect to be given a ho!ldny nn
election day for which they draw their
regular pay, and then they often re
fuse to go to the polls.
There was an Important mutter to
he decided last spring In a nearby
town a matter which should have
aroused the Interest and the activity
of right-thinking and serlous-uilnded
people. There were enough women In
town to have carried the proportion,
even If the men bad all stayed at
home. There were enough chntvh
members to have done It, had they
come out to vote, but they did not, and
the proposition which Involved the
control of moral conditions In town
was lost because people who had the
light to vote did not have Interest
enough to exercise that right.
It seems to be the right to vote that
men and women want more than they
dilre the responsibilities of voting.
