Are Questions for Solution. Woman suffrage, like man suf- frag is just a milestone in ti u 1 1 lil it progress ami self-government. When the I'liniiimii men of Kngland were apiluting: for Un vote a eliM-pyiiian wmte a In ink against them, declaring; working men's ufl'i'iiif m Id result in "t I i i i jr workmen against each other. Tiny would neglect their vocations in life, spend their time, their strength, their lab-nts in what would only increase their poverty." Later, in America. Thomas Jefferson, the so-called apostle of democ racy, proposed ,i limit i lit- suf frag? to iiu-ii who owned "unc fiHirth of an iicre in towns or tvventy-fiv' acres oT farming" land." Subsequently, in 1821, in York. Chance'lor Kent la mented over tin proposal 'Mo an nihilate at one stroke all softs of properly distinctions and to bovv down before tin ideal of uni versal suffrage."' .-"This extreme ib-niocralic principle," he said, "when applied to the legislature and the executive departments of government, has been regard ed with terror by the wise men if every ape." Finally Abraham Lincoln declared: "I fro for all sharing- the privileges of the pov ernmenl who assist in bcarinfr its burdens, hy no means excluding- Which one of tiiese four men has the most secure position in history? Ify which one do you wish to take your stand? The effect of woman's influence is to elevate and to purify. Votes for women means an increase in nativelorn and intelligent vot ers. The schools are gradual iitjr thousands more girls than boys. Native-born women with Ameri can blood in their veins outnum ber the foreign-born by millions. Men constitute nine-tenths of the criminal class: women one-tenth. Yef the election law classes wom en with convicted criminals. When women fret the ballot they do thinps. The first year the women of Colorado had the ote they h;wl a law passed mak ing the mother equal guardian with the father of the children. The women of Massachusetts wailed and agitated for fifly-five years to pot such a law. Could they secure jl? Yes, after murders and a sucide had so shocked the state that the legis lature fell forced to pass the bill. Woman suffrage is coming. The women need the vote. The men need to have the women vote. Why try to sweep hack the rising tide? Herbert X. Warhasse in the llrooklyn Kaple.
