One of the fundamental principles
announced In the Declaration of In
dependence Is that governments de
rive their Just powers from the consent
of the governed. How can the politi
cal condition of women be reconciled
with this? Government In the United
States has power to tax women who
hold property; to divorce them from
their husbands; to fine, imprison and
execute them for certain offenses
Whence do these governments derive
their power? They are not Just, a*
they are not derived from the consent
of the women thu* governed. Govern
ment* decree to women in some state*
half their husbands’ property; In oth
er* one-third; In some a woman, on
her marriage, I* made to yield all her
property to her husband; In other*, to
retain a portion, or the whole. In her
own hand*. Whence do’ government*
derive the unjust power of thus dis
posing of property without the con
sent of the governed? The democrat
ic principle condemn* all tills* as wrong
and requires the equal political rep-
esentatlon of all rational being*.
Children. Idiot* anil criminals during
the time of sequestration are tile only
fair exceptions. Th*. case is so plain
that* 1 might close It here. But it I*
Interesting to Inquire how so obvious a
decision has been so evaded as to leave
omen no political rights whatever,
The question ha* been asked from time
to time In more countries ihun one:
How can obedience to the laws be re-
lulred of women when no woman 1ms
cither actually or virtually given any
assent to any law? No plausible an-
hns. a* far as I can discern, been
jffereU, for the good reason ^that no
plausible answer can be devised.
The most principled democratic
rlters on governments have on this
subject sunk Into fallacies a* dis
graceful us any advocate of despotism
has adduced. In fact, they have thu*
sunk from being for the moment advo
cates of despotism. Jefferson say*:
“Were our state a pure democracy, In
which all the Inhabitants should meet
together to transact all their business,
there would yet be excluded from their
deliberations: Infant*, until arrived at
years of discretion. 2. Women who, to
prevent depravation of inorals, could
not mix promiscuously In public meet
ings of men. Woman's lack of will
and property Is more like the true
cause of her exclusion from the rep
resmtatlon than that which is actu
ally set down against her. A* if
there could be no means of conducting
public affairs but by promiscuous
meeting, as If there would be more
danger In promiscuous meetings for
political business than In »uch meet
ing for worship, ft.r oratory, music,
for dramatic entertainments, for any
of the thousand transactions of civ
illzed life.
One thing Is pretty dear—that all
those Individuals whose Interests are
Involved In those of other Individuals
may be struck off without Inconve
nlence. in this light women may be
regarded the Interest of almost all of
whom are Involved either In that of
their fathers or In that of their hus
band*. The word almost In Mr. Mills’
second sentence rescues women from
the exclusion he proposes a* !«
there are women who have neither
husbands nor fathers. His proposl
tlon remain* an absurdity. The true
democralc principle Is that no person’)
Interest can be ascertained to be iden
tlcal with those of another person
This allow* the exclusion of none but
Incapable*. The Inetrest of women who
have fathers and husbands can never
be Identical with their*. While there
Is a necessity for law* to protect
women against their husbands and
fathers, this Htateifient Is not w’orth
another word. Rome who desire that
there should be an equality of proper
ty between men and women oppose
representation on the ground that po
litical duties would be Incompatible
with the other duties which women
have to discharge. The reply to this
Is that women are the best judges
here. God has given time and power
for the discharge of all duties, and If
He had not, It would be for women to
decide which they would take, and
which they would leave. Hut their
guardians follow the ancient fashion of
deciding what Is best for their wards,
and the best friends of half the human
race peremptorily decide for them as
to their rights, their duties, their feel
ings, their power. In all these cases
the persons thus cared for feel that
the abstract decision rests with them
selves; that though they may be com
pelled to submit, they need not ac
quiesce. It 1* pleaded that half of the
human race doe* acquiesce In the de
cision of the other half, ns to their

Is an argument which cuts the wrong
way for those who use It. But this ac
quiescence is only partial, and to give
any semblance of strength to the plea
—for one, I do not acquiesce. I de
clare that whatever obedience I yield
to the laws of the society In which I
live Is a matter between not the com
munity and myself; but my Judgment
and my will. Any punishment Inflict
ed on me for the breach of the law I
should regard as so much gratuitous
Injury, for to those laws I have never,
actually or virtually, assented. I know
that there are women in this country
who agree with me In this. The plea
of acquiescence is Invalidated by us.
It Is pleaded that by enjoying the
protection of some laws women give
their assent to all. This needs but a
brief answer. Any protection thus con
ferred Is, under woman’s circum
stances, a boon bestowed at the pleas
ure of those In whose power *he Is; a
boon of any sort Is no compensation
for the privation of something else. The
truth Is that while there Is much said
about the sphere of woman, two wide
ly different notions are entertained of
xvhat Is meant by the phrase—the nar
row and to the ruling party the more
convenient notion 1* that sphere ap
pointed by men and bounded by their
Ideas of propriety, a notion from
which any and every woman may fair
ly dissent. The broad and true con
ception is of the sphere appointed by
God and bounded by the powers which
He has bestowed. Thla commands the
assent of man and woman, and only
the question of powers remains to be
proved. That woman has power to
represent her own interest no one can
deny. The fearful and absurd Images
which are perpetually called up to per
plex the question, the Images of women
on wool sacks In England and under
canopies In America, have nothing to
do with the matter. The principle
being once established, the method will
follow* easily and under a remarkable
transmutation of the ludicrous Into the
sublime. The kings of Europe would
have laughed mightily two centuries
ago at the Idea of a commoner, with
out robes, crown or scepter, stepping
Into the throne of a strong nation;
yet who dared to laugh when Wash
ington's voice greeted the new world
from the presidential chair. The prin
ciple of the equal rights of both halves
of the human race Is all we have to do
1th here. It Is the true democratic
principle, which can never be serious
ly controverted, and only for a short j
time evaded, governments can derlx*# 1
their Just power* only from the con-
1 sent of the governed.

WHY THIS LABEL? t
Maybe a natural question If your

Perfectly natural. If you don’t know'
the class of work this label appears
upon and the method* that go with it.
r £jJ s . °* business men asked
•'hy Thi* label?” for years—before
they had It on th*ir printing.
Th*n they found the answer In cor
rectly. executed work that stood the
test of service, and helped build up
trade for them.
They have no doubt now. Why
