DON'T OVERLOOK ITS IMPORTANCE
WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE
- The following Class Essay was read
by Miss Leila Goodman at the gradu
ating exercises of the Monticello High
School commencement, on Wednes
‘day evening, May the twenty-sixth:
| s
In ancient times women took no
part in governmental affairs. They
were entirely ignored. In counting
the population, women were pot
counted. A man would not recognize
his wife, if he should meet her in a
public place. Women were not con
sulted as to who their husbands
should be. They were left entirely to
the father (as head of the family).
When Christ came, with His mes
sage of peace and good will, one of
the things He did which aroused se
vere criticism, was to recognize the
rights of women in spiritual things,
and the delivering of His message to
woman, as well as man. Christ recog
nized woman’s place in the world, and
led the way for fuller recognition,
which, after centuries have passed, is
beginning to dawn.
The Westminister Review, publish
ed in England in 1852, contained an
article on what was called the novel
subject of the “Enfranchisement of
Women.” Since that time the agita
tion has gone on unceasingly in Amer
ica, as well as in foreign countries,
and much has been accomplished to
wards bringing about woman’s suf
frage.
As the enlightenment of the twen
tieth century began to dawn, it was
realized that woman’s suffrage was
destined to play an important part in
the affairs of the world. This is an
enlightened age, an age of liberty for
all; an age when not only men but
women, as well, can speak the
thoughts that come to them.
Laws are for all the people, and all
the people should have something to
say regarding the making of those
laws., Women have been given the
right to work their way into profou-l
sions and business. They hold prop-|
erty, and pay taxes on it. They help
support the government. Without
woman’s suffrage women are subject|
to man-made laws; they are taxed to
support a man-made government;
they are punished if they violate the
law; yet, without the vote they have
no volce in saying what kind of laws
they shall be subject to and no voice
in saying how the money they con
tibute toward the support of the gov
ernment shall be used. &
©Our government is a government of
representation. It is a government
for the people, and by the people,
through their representatives. Our
government is a government with the
consent of the governed, and as long
as the American people consent to a
certain state of affairs it must be pre
sumed that they are willing for the
conditions to exist.
As long as women were willing to
be represented by men that was all
right. But now, that women are no.
longer willing to be so governed, it
follows that they are entitled to a
voice in the matter of representation.
Women can vote intelligently on po
litical questions. Many of the oppo
nents of woman's suffrage have argu
lof that women cannot vote intelli-
gently, but such an argument is an in
sult to womanhood!
Women writers are quoted from
frequently. Women lecturers are
recognized authorities on the matters
of which they speak. Women teach
ers are instructing the younger gener
ations in the governmental affairs of
tne nation. These teachers are lay
mg tee very foundation of the knowl
eage by which the men will later base
teelir votes, and if these women teach
ers are intrusted with the task of
teaching boys how to vote, surely they
conld, themselves, vote intelligently.
Of course, some women could not
vote intelligently. It would be pre
posterous to think that they could-—
and neither can some men, |
If suffrage will be limited, let the
limitations be other than the limlta’i
tions of sex. That women can and dO‘
vote intelligently is shown by the
way in which they vote in those
places where they have been given
that privilege.
Consider the effect of woman's suf
frage on reform! For some reason,
the wholesale liquor dealers’ assoeia
tion doesn’t like the idea of woman's
suffrage. It would be easy to judge
why they are opposed to the women
voting. Anything that would limit
their life would, of course, meet wlth‘
their opposition, hence the opposi
tion to woman’s suffrage. g
In the elections of 1914, five states
declared for prohibition. Four of
these states, which settled the ques
tion purely by a general vote of the
people, have woman's suffrage. These
states are Washington, Oregon, Colo
rado and Arizona. After such evi
dence, who will dare to say that wom
an's suffrage will not aid reform?
Voting does not detract from the
home duties. Opponents to woman's
suffrage have claimed that women
lose the spirit of home life when given
the privilege of voting. Such, how
ever, is not the case. As a home
keeper the woman has a special inter
est in the legislation of her country,
for upon it depends the welfare of the
home.
The woman, while attending to
home duties, can easily keep posted
on political questions so as to vote
properly.
The task of voting only takes the
woman away from home for a few mo
ments, or a few hours, at the most.
The whole thing can be done,
courteously, peaceably, and in the
knowledge that no one must live ac
cording to the choice of another, with
out the privilege of being heard.
Woman's suffrage is asking for only
its rights in an enlightened age, and
it 1s rapidly winning favor, because of
‘the justice of its demands.

Can you do full work on half rations, Mr. Farmer?
Well, how can you expect a full crop from a_starved or half
fed plant? Don’t expect something for nothing. Make up for the
meager plant food under your crops by a liberal application of
Swift's Top Dresser Fertilizer. If you use no fertilizer at all under
your crop, the more urgent the need of Top Dresser.
Do not “save at the bung to lose at the spigot.” =
Your best interests demand proper fertilization of your crops.
Especially at the fruiting Ferlod must the plant be properly fed.
Swift's Top Dresser means Fruit, an abundant harvest. _
Well balanced, highin quick acting Ammonia, as is proper, with
sufficient Phosphoric Acid and Potash to supply the varied needs
of the plant as necessary, the Swift Top Dressers give far great—
,er net results than the use of Ammonia alone in Nitrate of Soda.
Use Swift’s Top Dressers and be prosperous.
