Women know how to keep a house
elenn. Keeping the country clenn is
jtihl nn cnlnrgenuMit of the snmc task.
a ml women should vote on municipal
housekeeping.
For centuries woman hns been de
pendent. Clubs during these lat few
years have enabled woman to find
herself. Kspecitilly have the con
ventions helped. The women on the
rostrums, nt the conventions, have
been of nil clnses and creeds.
The club spirit teaches women to
disagree harmoniously to disagree
honestly, and without making their
differences of opinion personal.
I have been around in your stores.
The prices hero are too high for the
wnges paid your working men. You
should work for a minimum wage.
There arc not many poor in Hock
ford, Illinois, but the factory opera
tives livo from hand to mouth. A
child labor law hns been exacted af
ter great effort. The ehild is entitled
to n decent youth in which to prepare
for the battle of life. In passing this
Inw women were grently handicapped
by not having a vote. I had to ask
for the votes of the mnn who clenned
out my office and the one who blnck
ed my shoes. Not that I would dism
gnrd their opinions, but I should be
as well able to express one.
I worked in the office of the county
clerk mid there drilled men in the
way to vote. I also helped to natur
alize nliens. Their first thought was
of the vote, as soon as they bad
Mvom allegiance. I wanted the same
right. These men could walk right
out and vote to assess my property
which I had worked hard to acquire
for street improvements, when they
had no property.
Once I wus explaining to one of
these naturalized aliens how to vote
nn Australian ballot. After I had
explnined how to vote the straight
ticket, and then how to vote the split
ticket, I snid : "I hope some day to sec
you bring your wife to the polls.'"
"Womens vote," he snid. "Xo, not
know enough!"
Women do not vote the st might
ticket. In California thoy voted the
hplit ticket. Neither do they vote
for fanatics. They were thoughtful
voters. Standpatters ure not intelli
gent. They are throwing dust in the
eyes of the women.
One reason why women want the
vote is to protect their children. In
Chicago in the crowded districts, the
children ploy in the alleys. In one
alley was a huge pile of garbage, and
a pool of water. The water became
contaminated from the garbage. A
little child drank the water, fell HI
with typhoid fever, started an epi
cdmic of typhoid and died. All the
women in the neighborhood had tried
for n week to have the garbage re
moved, and the pool drained, but thoy
were not electors and hud no pull with
the aldermen.
There aro many thread worn argu
ments ngain&t women going to the
polls to vote; in order to pay your
taxes you walk up to a window and
pass in a check. It is just the same
as voting.
I would very much dislike to be
called n, "perfect lady." I want no
hnlo round n. womnn'b head, but very
much prefer a rat. I uiu tired of be
ing a shining example and want to
bo down in the thick of the tight,
Women should work. If they do not
they get into mischief.
American men are very fair to
women. Women develop when they
begin poor and forgo ahead by their
own efforts. I had a friend who
wrote poetry when young. She was a
reiuarkablo woman, but wrote only
when inspired. If she had had to
work hIio would huvo developed her
talent, but hhe let it (ilo.
This is ft most beautiful country.
You should thank God you arc alive.

Women have had a host of griev
ances and are at last realizing they
have one big one. By remedying tin
they will reuiedv the others as well.
I have always had confidence ?ii
women. Women should advocate
convict labor for good road. I have
had friends in the state peuiteutiary
in Illinois- and have been there to sec
them. I do not believe in life im

Governor West's work is a sermon
to the whole United States. Hefonn
atories are rather defonnntories for
boys. When Governor West took the
initiative in this work he had hope
that men could be redeemed bv labor

the keepers of our brothers and sis
ters. More lima our -commercial in

for the saving of men. We should
not box them up. If there is any
thing in them, give them a chance. If
you ever judge a woman, suspend
sentence, mul give her another trial.
Women must make twice as good in
any jMisitiou ns a man. Women have
not been fair to women. Women's
clubs make for sweeter, truer friend

is every kind -of work, nmj every

There is no ?ex in government. Pro
