Dorothy Dix's Article on Women's Desire to

Can Only Be Shown by Allowing Them the

When a man waills't often .a blight
wig, criticism on femininity ho always
' makes, a 'few scathing remarks - about
curiosity In the beginning of wisdom, and
the hall mark of an active mind.- If it
hadnt been for the curfoslty to see"
what would happen when you put two
and two together, wo should not now bo
enjoying the sum of countless experi
ments that make up civilization.
Tho first cave man who noticed that
when he rubbed two sticks together the
friction produced warmth, and who had
the curiosity to keep on rubbing the
sticks together, gave us fire. The first
woman who had tho curiosity to see what
would happen when you put raw meat
on the fire gavo us cooking.
The first man who was curious to know
what lay beyond his Immediate neigh
borhood blazed the trail that has led other
men to the north pole.
If Newton had not been curious lie
would never have discovered the law of
gravitation. If Jenner hadn't been cur
ious he would not have found out about
the circulation of tho blood. f Kulton
hadn't beou curious he woud nevor
have bothered his head with the wild
Idea that a steamboat could be made to
run up a river at a speed of four miles

If Edison wasn't one of the most curi

are all insatiably curious men
And let it not be forgotten that the
first of all these original researchers was
!a womnu. It Is ou,r first mother, and
I not our father, who began the investiga
tion of the whyncss and the wherefore of
, the things about her. and it was till
'quality that she bequeathed her sons that
has sent them out to discover tho utter
most parts of the world, and wrest from
nature her secrets.
Curiosity Ib the dividing lino between
Ignorance and knowledge. Tho people
who have no curiosity concerning the
things about them, hut who accept every
thing without comment, or question, uro
Invariably those of. limited Intelligence,
and who are heavy and loggy In mind.
Therefore curiosity Is to be accounted
unto ,lts possessors as a virtue, and not
a fault.
The contention that women ore more
curious than men Is an allegation that
cannot bp substantiated bjr fact, but "If It
were true it would bo no reflection on the
feminine character, and certainly no bar
to their enfranchisement.
Indeed, there Is no other quality that
Is moro needed In voters of the present
day than n large, robust curiosity in
good working order.
The majority of men are too busy and
too much engrossed In their own business
to have time to look Into public matters
much, but women have moro leisure, and
If they spent part of It In prying into
public affairs many abusrs that now
exist would be remedied.
Perhaps the fear of vcmmn'H curiosity
in such matters Is tho reason the ma
chine politicians are the most determined
opponents of womun suffrage. They are
like the Janitor of thy school who. when
be was asked how he liked the woman
who had been elected to the school hoard,
replied: "Aw, away wld her! She hadn't
been on dat board a week before she
wns snooping aiound In the cellar and
made 'me clem it out. and me that had
been hero fifteen years with never no
man on the school board, even looking In
at tho door!"
Certainly it would do no harm If some
body has the curiosity to took Into ttip
records of candidates and saw that only
decent men were put up to represent de
cent reople. Nor would It he Inimical to
Ihn welfare of the general public if n
healthy curiosity was directed to finding
out why the man who Is electtd on one
Platform with a social promise to do
curtain things forgets his obligation -is
todn as he gets Into office.
j It would bo a good thing to have somo
iKidy curiouk as to where the monx- goes
that ls niillrAn,lntai1 r,.- - . ..

Improvements, arid why It costs the dty
or the government o much more to
have a Job done than It does an Indl
virtual. It would bo a good thine to have
somebody i urious about whv some laws
are enforced and others are not, and
how men holding smalt offices with small
pay aro enabled to accumulate large
fortunes and live like princes.
Oh. there are a lot of flid.xv that It
wouldn't hurt u to be curious about,
und If women bring this quality into
jolltlc they will fill ,4 long-felt want
J'hcrell have to be seme better reason
advanced against giving woman the vote
than her desire to know thing.
