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. e e e e e Put a little notice In The News and sell that cow, hog, horse, mule, grain or whatever it 18 you wish to dispose of. e e Look at the label on your paper m see how you stand with The News.
