SUFFRAGE NOT A RIGHT.
3 1 6 Yes.
317- No.
Tois is a proposed amendment to
the constitution by initiative petition
permitting women to vote. The
friends of this measure rely upon a
mere expression of sentiment, rather
than upon reason or facta, to influ
ence your vote, "E luality for Wives
and Mothers, with Husbands and
Sous." This is their slogan.
They admit, that in Oregoc,
women are far iu advauce, as self -earn
ing property holders, of women iu
any other state, except in the four
states wherein they already vote.
This offered praise to Oregon men is
. misleading, in that it suggests that
there are laws iu force it Oregon
which withhold from women "equal
property right" with men, which is
not true, and that women in the four
states wherein they already vote have
"property rights" which women In
Oregon have not, aud that Is not true.
There is no inequality of property
rights created by law in Oregon. Iu
tbe ownership, management and dis
position of property, meu in Oregon
hare no power, right or freedom of
actiou not secured to an unmarried
woman by tbe same law. In tbe
marriage relation there devolves upon '
the bushaud the duty of governing
and iu every way, providing for the
family. The state iu obliging tbe
husband to assume this duty, aud
compeiliug him to perform it, so far
aa it has power to euforce obedience,
grants tbe husband certain powers
over tbe property of the wife, for tbe
protection of others. But the wife
may, if she deems it best, place ber
property entirely beyond her hus
bands' control, by givlug legal notice
that it is ber separate proprety. A
married woman may own, manage and
dispose of her separate property
without the iuterfereauce, advice, or
consent ot tbe busbauJ. Our laws af
fect men and vvomau precisely alike so
far as life, liberty, property, and toe
pursuit of happiness are concerned.
There are natural rights which
belong to all alike, which are life,
liberty, the enjoyments of tbe fruit
of ones own labor, aud tbe pursuit of
happiness without interference with
tbe rights of others. With or without
government, constitution or laws, all
persons have these natural rights.
Under organized tiovtrnoieuts by
written constitution aud laws, certaiu
benefits and privileges have been
established aud made secure to persons
which we are accustomed to speak
of as lights, which are not rights, but
reasonable privileges, or duties, or
necessities, for certain purposes of
government. Government is a necess
ity. In America, elections are essen
tial features of, or incidents in govern
ment. Government is impossible
without tbetn. Therefore, elections
are necessities. Ballots are essential
to elections, tuerefore, the ballot is a
necessity and duty, being indespensi
bly necessary to an election, and not
a right, every citizen has the right
of trial by a jury of his peers, (t is,
therefore, not tbe right, but the duty
of certain citizens, when possessing
the necessary legal qualifications, and
being so required, to serve as jurors
or there could be no such trial, and
the right of tbe citizen to such trial
would be lost. If to vote is a mere
right or privilege that may be proper
ly neglected by one, it may be with
equal propriety neglected by all,
and all rights, or security iu all rights,
would be lost, because government
would cease. Tbe very essence of
government is power, and tbe power
of government is, in its finality,
physical. Nothing is more natural
and reasonable than that those who or
dain and establish government should
posess withiu themselves tbe qualifica
tions and power to enforce and defend
tbe government they make? Can a
class reasonably insist it is its right
to participate in determining
what '
government shall be, which, is by ,
nature, in the physical constitution of
everyone of its numbers, disqualified
to render tbe service necessary in
finally upholidiug that government if
assailed?
Women are bo disqualified. The
power upou which all government
relies for the final struggle in enforc
ing its decrees aud defending its life
resides in tbe men of that govern
meut. Government is nothing if its
every act is not supported by a preseut j
physical force capable of compelling
respect aud obedience. There can be
110 security of personal right of
citizens except by a government pos
sessing a military army strong enough
to give protection. Shall any insist ou
making tbe goverumeut, and, wbeu
obedience to it is refused, or it is
assailed, then expect to leave its de
fence eutirly to other T Such
ptrvllege may be given, but cauuot be
reasonably claimed as a right. The
women who are making an appeal to
you lu support of this meaBure deny
that they "are Peking to make laws
to govern men," but are demanding
"the right of tlf itovernnieut. " That
is decidedly specious. No government
cau be conducted which does not
govern meu and women by the same
laws. And, bs we have shown that
tha tirntiartv and tiorsonal rUhts of
motive for their insistene upon having
tbe ballot but to antagonize, iu some
respect, goverumeut as conducted by
meu, and a it relates, more partlcu-
larly to men,
no injustice
foi they are suffering
by government. Those
women also say that the iuability of
women to vote "bring the wage earn
ing of womeu iuto ruiuous competi
tion with wage earning voters.
Do they mean that a woman, con
ducting a large gnrmeut makiug
establishment will pay her employes
more wbeu they become voters thau
she now pays them? Or, that a
woman, when she becomes a voter,
will receive wages not as she does
now, in accordance with ber earning
capacity, but will by virtue of belug
a voter, necessarily receive greater
wage, iu copetitiou with meu, tbau
now? Why? What can her vote have
to do with her value to her emploer,
if she inteuds to, aud does, vote in
dependently and free from ail in
fluence, guided only by ber own con
ception of the greatest good to the
country? Here is tbe rub. Womeu
who are agitating for this measure,
treating meu as antagonistic to their
interests, inteud to use tbe ballot to
promote their persoual ends. This is
a bald tierversion of tbe purpose of
the. ballot. It can mean nothing but
the determination to couflue the bal
lots of womeu as a meaus of power to
be exercised in that direction most
fatal to free government. It means au
intention to control by tbe ballot,
that which should be governed by tbe
natural laws of business, if it means
auything.
A woman receives less wages than
meu now in many positions, not be
cause she cannot vot?, but certainly be
cause she is of less value to tbe em
ployer. She w ould be of greater value
than a man in some positions, and in
such positions she is employed rather
than men, at proper wages. This is
natural, and tbe ballot iu her bauds
cannot change it. No employer pays a
man more for work that a woman can
do better, because the man may vote,
unless he uses bis power as employer,
to control that mau's vote aud cause
it to be cast, not for tbe benefit of
the country, but for the benefit of
his employer to the detriment of the
community. And this is tbe purpose
of our women then, who demand to
vote. They do not preseut tbe sem
blance of an argument w bii-h
stands
scrutiny. Ihe position of women in !
our society is not that of an inferior.
If it were so, and to give ber tbe
ballot would make her our equal, we
should grant it. We regard woman in
her btatiou as vastly the superior of
meu, aud believe that the influence
of tbe ballot will be degrading.
Hence we oppose it.
The character of women will, in the
course of time, become much the
bame as men, when they live tbe
same life as men.
Loyalty to Party
Tbe primary election is over. Tbe
majority of the people have chosen the
meu for tbe various offices to be Toted I
for at tbe June election. If you could
prevent tbe men who shall be elected
to office on the first day of June from
entering upon tbe duties) of tbe offices
to wbicb they may be elected, and
from receiving the emoluments of such
office", would you do it, because they
were not tbe men of your individual
choice? Of course no citzen would do
that. You are firmly attached to tbe
doctrine that, what tbe majority of
tbe people want should be done.
The majority of the voters of each
political party bave made a choice, a
mong many aspirants, of party candi
dates. Tbe election on Friday, tbe
17b, was a legal election held under
laws which provided for tbe full and
free expression of tbe will of the elec
tors of tbe state. Its result should be
accepted as binding upon tbe con
science of every citizen, and should
assure to each candidate elected tbe
loyal support of every voter of bis
party. If you were not at this elec
tion you should have been, if possible.
If not, it is still tbe mandate of tbe
people given under due form of law,
and you are as much bound, morally,
to submit to it and stand by it, as you
are to support the result of any so
called, regular election, both being
conducted under the same rules.
ua registering, you declared your
self of some party, and tbe law con
templates that you intend to support
tbe candidates of that party at tbe fl
ual election, and makes such regula
tions aa insures tbe perfect fairness
and legality of tbe primary election.
The Juue electiou will not be more
legal than the primary election. It
is no more your duty to see that the
men who are elected on the first day
of June get their legal rights thau it
is to do all you can to elect the men
who were nominated at the primary
election in which yen participated, or
should have participated. What would
you think of a candidate, if defeated
at the primary election, if he should
refuse to submit? lie has at good a
right to be a candidate after defeat as
you have to refuse him your vote after
his nomination.
You made this law and ynu are
bound by everything done under it
Of course you can refuse to abide by
the result. But in doing so, you
violate a very strongly implied con
tract. The Republican ticket is a
good one. We support it heartily.
Not as a ticket put up by bosses, but
as the ticket of the people of the par-
j ty, in the choice of which every voter
is supposed to have taken part. We
believe that there is no cause tor holt- ,
iug any ticket chosen under this iaw .
The people have uever deliberately
chosen a man of bad character for
office, and they uever will. If ueuriy
every Lako county voter does not
staud by his party ticket we are de
ceived iu their temper. You made a
tacit, if not au expressed legal agree
ment to do so.
Every candidate chosen last Friday
on the Republican ticket is a tried
man. Ktiowu to be worthy and com- ;
peteut. The Democratic ticket was
c hos 11 in equal fairness and is euti ,
tied to tbe support of voters of that
party. Primary electlous must be ao-
cepted as bindiug, and we shall again i
I be giveu over to the bosses if we w ill
1 not
staud iiy our own
work. You
would not liko to have Joe Simon or
any other boss dictator again.
A Uue5lng Editor
The Silver Lake Leader iu its guess
work editorial last week, missed the I
mark wide on all points. Mr. Conu
did not prepare the noted solutl ons
so much complaiued of by the Leader, j
so be states, and he further says he '
had nevei saw them or heard them j
read uutil they were read iu the j
meeting by the chairman of the com-j
mittee appointed to draft them on)
tbe night of that inu;s meeting, j
which was called for the purpose of
furthering the interests of Lake
county, and which did so, to the ex
tent of practically stopping the county
seat removal agitatiou, as little pro
gress has beeu made since that meet
ing was held, aud little said for the
movement outside of whuf the two
Silver Lake papers have said. Mr.
Conn states also that he had not been
asked to speak, nor did he have any
intention of speaking uutil he was
called upon after
opened. What he
poraneous It would be a difficult
matter, hovever, to uudertake to
clear up tbe billions attacks of those
north end papers, upon all whom they
bave charged with lying aud every
other mean think' their vocabulary
f,lruibhes them w itb, as they have spit
j at eteryuue, muai, wuu ura in tiie
1 south end of Lake county, and espec
... . i.n i:n :
ially in Lakeview.
Returns Slow to Come In
It is plainly evident that certain
precincts in this county did not under
stand the law legarding sending the
election returns iu.
Tbe law clearly states that the third
day after au election has beeu closed
the votes shall be canvased by the
clerk, and sooner if the returns are all
in. Tbe Summer Lake ballot box did
not reach here uutil Tuesday even
ing, and the Silver Lake box on Mon
day evening. Tbe Summer Lake box
remained at that place two days aud
three nights before it was
dispatched
for tbe county seat, when the box
should be started out imediately after
tbe vote is counted and tbe box
sealed, and if there is no provision
made for a carrier to deliver the box
there should be.
Three Hundred Families Coming
Tbe real estate men of this place are
quite jubilant over the prospects of
a rushing season in their line. We
are reliably informed that a great
rush of bomeseekers is expected soon.
One man, not a real estate man, but a
business man, of this city who is tak
ing observations and who is in close
touch with immigration matters,
states that 300 families are scheduled
to reach here at one time. From
what particualr point we are not able
to say.
It seems that tbe greatest economy
has been used in buying material for
the new Court House, as is shown in
tbe official statement published on
another page of Tbe Examiner this
week. Lime, which Las been selling
in this county at about t8 per ban el,
was secured for f'-J.M, delivered at
Madeline.
Evidently tbe Silver Lake Oregonian
stopped to get its breath last week,
as no copy of that week's issue was
received, at least at Tbe Examiner
office.
Lordyl Lordy! but wasn't that
"hot stuff tbe Silver Lake Leader
belched forth lata week, aimed at most
anybody, so they lived in Lakeview.

Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they canuot
reach the diseaaed portion of the ear.
There is only one way te cure deafness
aud that is by constitutional reme
dies. Deafness is caused by an inflam
ed condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube
is inflamed you bave a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, aud when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by Catarrh, which is
uothiug but an inflamed couditiou of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
