THE Anti-Suffrage Society forbids its, members to say, ‘‘Woman suffrage is coming!"’ That's right—it shows a as the suffragists, and how can they ex- pect to raise money for a campaign against a sure thing? a The anti-suffragists are making a post- card canvass to show how many women ~do and do not want to vote, and the suf- fragists are going to find out how many men do and do not want women to vote. While the ‘‘antis’’ have been busy send- ing out their little cards, the suffragists- have been persuading the Legislatures to submit+ the question to the bona-fide voters. As a result, this has been done this winter in Michigan, Missouri, North and South Dakota, Montana and Nevada, with several other States soon to be heard from! a Before and after taking was strikingly illustrated by the Missouri Legislature in its action on the woman-suffrage amendment. The senate adjourned to the assembly chamber to hear the women present their case. The committees re- ported unanimously in favor. Both houses adopted the report by large majorities. Then St. Louis suddenly got busy, and the Legislature rescinded its action! It heard its master’s voice! fs) His name is Abnel—a German doctor who has made a discovery. ‘‘The world’s well-being is threatened by the adoration of suffragists for dissolute men. The clinging, domestic women are naturally attracted to strong men."’ Of course— the men would have to be strong to sup- port their weight. ‘‘But the women pol: iticians have lost the selective instinct, he says. ‘‘They flutter toward the Don Juans like moths and are consumed be- fore they realize their own folly."” Yes, people notice this in those Western States —a perfect holocaust as soon as women get the ballot. That why the Don Juans always vote against it—they would feel so dreadfully helpless with all the women politicians fluttering toward them gctte OMA Sna By IDA HUSTED HARPER like moths or locusts or something. But since woman suffrage cannot be pre- vented, it’s up to Dr. Abnel to invent a toxin and hurry over to the United States. 9 The first act of Alaska’s new Legisla- ture was to confer the full suffrage on all qualified women, which a territorial Legislature may do without submitting the question to the voters. There are A JOB FOR TWO many white women in Alaska as capable of voting wisely as are the men, and all will now have the same opportunity of developing along with the Territory. There will be better laws and better en- forcement because of woman suffrage, and its legislative body has shown a spirit of progress and justice which am- ply justifies its existence. At the anti-suffrage headquarters opened in Washington at the time of the parade, they announced that during the first four days two thousand persons reg- pshots istered. Some of the suffrage mathe- maticians figured out thet this would mean a registration of more than one person every minute for eight hours of every day—a manifest absurdity. It seems sometimes as if the sole object of the suffragists was to be disagreeable. a This is a very little world! From an exile’s prison on an island in a river of Siberia, Catharine Breshnovsky sends con- gratulations to American women on the victories for woman suffrage! The high-school faculty in an Ohio town has forbidden the girls to play basketball, because it is so dreadfully immodest. No wonder they defeated woman suffrage in that State last fall! Do they allow the women to goon the street unveiled? The Anti’s Point of View HE HAD a little husband she'd ac- quired in days of yore. (She got him with a trading stamp in some department store, Before she was a suffragette—a long, long time before!) She had a little auto—she won it as a prize (Through writing the best essay on ‘‘Why Men Should Make the Pies)— A sample, it was added, of how some firms advertise. She had a small apartment, furnished strictly up to date. (She got the household bric- breakfast food she ate; 'Twas added, incidentally, her appetite was great.) She had a little baby that she got the good old way. (A bird on one leg left it as a sort of joke one day— A little suffragettette that would rather vote than play.) brac with I've never chanced to meet her, but I know all this is true, Because the antis say so, and the antis are true blue. . They told me all about her—and this was their point of view.—Lurens sheiden Perea comicbooks.com
