WHAT MEDFORD IN II
ABOUT SUFFRAGE FOR WOMEN
Opinions of Citizens Gathered by
Sufrajieltes in Short Interviews
Most Favor Letting Fair Sex Have
the Vote.
Tho Med ford miffrngettes arc mak
ing a hot campaign for tho cause.
Leading citizens of Mod ford are be
ing Interviewed and placed on rec
ord and systematic work is being
dono to Insure success at the polls
In November. Tho following ex
pressions lmvo been secured from
citizens:
C. L. Reames:
"I am In favor of equal suffrage
because I boltcvo that tho influence
of tho women In tho framing of leg
islation would be for tho good, in
every move for better government,
In every fight for clean politicss. I
bollcvo that tho votes of the women
would be cast In favor of tho better
ment of conditions, in fact, I have
nover heard of any sound reason ad
vanced against granting to women
tho right to vote.
Charles Schcffclln I believe in
limited suffrago for women. I be
lieve single women and widows
should have tho right to vote, but
not women who can bo- represented
at tho polls by a man.
Dr. E. B. Picket I believe that
the greater majority of the best wo
men would not go to the polls, while
the more Ignorant and those of so
cialistic tendencies would bo apt to.
Dr. R. W. Stearns I believe that
we need tho votes of women to aid
us In municipal house cleaning.

Tho revenue cutters WIndom and

a. vast number of men who, under
tho laws of our country have tho
power to exercise the ballot. I be

supremo court of the United States
that under our constitution women

lieve In Justice aud fairness to nil
Gus Newbury I don't see any
reason why a woman should not have
the right t ovote. Her intuition Is
as good as a man's Judgment aud she
arrives at her conclusion without a
long process of reasoning and usually
hits the nail squarely on tho head.
Sho may not know why she does, but
sho does. In other words, sho "has
a hunch," and unlike a man takes It.
Sho does this as unconcernedly as
she rifles her hnsband's pockets and
generally with tho same net result
she finds what she is looking for.
She is or would be able to tell by
looking at a candidate whether he Is
as big a thief as the other fellow
running for office and thus make a
wise choice for the taxpayers. The
general average of Intelligence
among the women Is equal to that of
the general average among tho men.
It could not be urged that her hus
band would control her voto, for
every man knows that if he control
led her In this It would be the only
Instance where his control would be
successfully exercised. He knows
that In other partlsulars she Is un
controllable, and must conclude she
would be In the matter of her vot
ing. She certainly would be as
cleanly in her politics as the front
street "bum." She meets man on
the level In every other avenue of
life, why shouldn't she In politics?
Let her voto If she wants to if she
doesn't want to, sho can exercise her
own "sweet will" not to, Just as the
man does.

are cheerful. Less fault was found
with this school by tho committee
than in any oilier.
Washington School.
Conditions in the bovs' toilet at !h
Washington school are unspcakahle.
In the yard in front of the toilet i
what remains of a great mud puddle
covered with a ureca scum. The has
nis are most unsanitary. The girls'
toilets are slightly better lint can he
improved Uhui. The building is an
old one aud in several of tho rooms
leaks have occurred. The wash bas
ins are dirty. The chief fault, how
ever, lies in tho toilets. There is ,io
basement, only a furnace room, which
is never invaded h.v the children. The
floor of this furnace room is partiallv
covered with water which is hound to
have its effect iihn the healthful
nes of the school rooms above.
Itoosowlt School.
One of the toilets at the Roosevelt
school is in such an unsanitary con
dition that it is s Iran :;e that it has
not badly effected the health of tin
pupils before this time. It is almost
impossible to enter it on ins io the
odor which prevails and which per
meates the entire lno-ctuetil. The oth
er toilet is in a MfcliU.v better condi
tion. In the playroom in tin. base
ment a large pool of water covers the
cement floor and U said to have
sood there for several months. la
one place this water stands three
inches deep. The ruom was locked,
evidently to 'keen the children out.
There can ho no doubt hut that this

set this, haw over, Ihe janitor bus evi

tho rains wash them down nhout the

Iligli School,
With Ivvo exceptions the school
huihliuc seems to he in first class or
der. In the furnace room it has been
I ho custom Io dump all of the refuse
from other rooms and a "cleaiiMip '
day is badly needed. Keutnnuls ol
Christinas trees are to bo seen piled
anions the litter. While this room
may not he daiigerous from a sani
tary standpoint it certainly is a fne
trap. A carelessly dropped match
would fire the entire basement in an
instant ami it would require fast
work to control the flames. Heing
in the furnace mom the danger of
a fire slartinir is1 greallv enhanced.
The hoys' toilet is not sanitary, leak
inir water from Ihe toilets being
spread over the tloor. The odor is
had. In the girls' toilet the only
evidence in the five schools was
found thai any disinfectant is ever
used. The odor of a disinfectant was
noticeable. The other moms in Ihe
high school building aud the yard are
in good condition.
