i Suffrage Snapshots By IDA HUSTED HAKPER D° NOT criticise Mr. Bryan because he said nothing new in regard to woman suffrage. Everything that could be said was said long ago, but until re- cently the political ears were very deaf and very long. One difference between the Vice- President and the Secretary of State is that Mr. Marshall can’t come around to woman suffrage until his wife does, while Mr. Bryan held out against it for twenty years with his wife in favor all the time. fa} The wild outery of the anti-suffragists against “feminism’’ indicates that they prefer masculinism forwomen. Let them have it, for luckily they are not of enough importance for all womankind to be judged by what they do and say, as is the case with the suf- fragists, “*Marse Henry’? Watter- son says he has found only three classes of women who want the suffrage: ‘*Those who want to exploit their own interests, those who are soured on life, and the brainless sheep who think it is fashionable."’ Maybe is like that in Kentucky, but the men in some States have found several other kinds, New York’s Alderman Quinn objects to woman suffrage, because it would make monkeys of the men. Don’t worry—a lot of them haven't waited for woman suffrage. The General Federation of Woman's Clubs, with over a million members, has indorsed woman suffrage; National Grange, with over a million, ditto; Amer- ican Federation of Labor, with over a million, ditto; National Miners’ Federa- tion, with half a million, ditto; National Educational Association, with over fifty thousand, ditto; National Ladies of the Maccabees, with fifty thousand, ditto; National Women’s Trade Union League and every State branch, ditto, and sev- eral hundred other associations, ditto. If the antis don’t speed up, there won't be any organizations left to prove their as- sertion that they represent ninety per cent. of public sentiment. oO The antis are very sarcastic because the suffrage parades are not always as long as promised. The suffragists dare them to attempt one of any length. = ARE YOU THIS KIND OF A PATRIOT? Curbside Comments By OREOLA W. HASKELL The New Love ELBERT HUBBARD says that we have had love and ownership, love and rights, love and finesse and love and man- agement, but that a new affection will some day come to men and women, and that this will be a combination of love and reason. This will daze some sensi- tive souls who have been brought up to believe that the two are diametrically op- posed; but they will be left gasping when they read that love for its own sake can only exist between a man and a woman mentally mated. Must we then discard the beautiful picture of the sweet and empty-headed female sitting rapt at the feet of her lord and drinking in the words of wisdom that flow from his bearded lips? 1 fear we must brace up and cast this tender and lovely thing upon the junk heap with other dear departeds. Opposing the Dear Mea It CERTAINLY is saddening to read in the daily prints that certain women are to be so unladylike as to come right out in the open and oppose the Demo- cratic candidates for Congress who, true to party policy, are going to give suffrage - ablackeye. Itiseminently fitting and proper to send these recalcitrant gentle- men perfumed notes, to pay them sighing visits, and in the presence of their wives or maiden aunts to per suade them to be less cruel; but to take to mannish tac- ticsisdreadful. Why, they may succeed! It isnowon- der the antis have an- nounced that, since the suf- fragists are to invade the districts of the ‘*blacklist- ed” victims, they will abandon home and offspring and likewise invade, but only for the holy purpose of aiding the stricken. Man has always been the pro- tector of woman; but, lo! the anti is now to give us a touching demonstra- tion of woman protecting man. Who says there is nothing new under the sun? A Puzzle IN THEIR charming way men have said for years that women were constitu- tionally unfitted to take care of money. The modern woman smiles when she reads this: ‘The United States government spends sixty-three cents of every dollar for war. Of the thirty-seven cents left from each dollar, five cents goes for im- proving rivers and harbors, four cents for the encouragement of agriculture and for- estry, three cents for building the Panama Canal, one and one-half cents for main- taining the United States Congress, half a cent for assisting the laboring classes and the rest for miscellaneous expenses. ”’ comicbooks.com
