Today, In tho household, tho man la

will bo in ono houBe two democratic,
voters, nnd In another two republican
voters whero thcro hns been ouo. And
this 1b no gain toward a deciding ot
questions. It Is only n multiplying of
ballots, producing no chango of results.
Or elso tho wlfo would tako tho oppo

stantly, with all tho heat and vlolenco
ot party differences nnd political disa

troduced Into the homo; a now cause
of dissension and nllcnntlom Is added
to tho already strained relations In
many families. Then there Is tho ques
tion of mistress and maid, Shall tho
cook leavu, her ldtchon to cast a vote,
which shall counterbalance tho vote of
tho mistress, or shall tho employer un
dertake to control tho politics of tho
kitchen cabinet? And all this, not
merely on tho voting day or In thj de
posit of tho ballot, but the weeks be
foro nnd nfter the election aro to bo
spent In tho heat of discussion or In
tho nninrt of defeat. The American
homo Is not too sacred and secure to

with tho explosive matorlals of politics
nnd partisanship. And meanwhile, na
things nru now, tho Intelligent woman.

of whnt she has gained from her box,
with tho ovidence.pt what voting men

tho rashness of this proposed expert
