Senator Tillman has made a great speech on the right side of the most momentous question of modern times. All other questions pale to nothing beside It. “We can better afford to have degraded and corrupt politics,’’ he says truly, “than degrad ed and corrupt women.” Two clases of men believe that wo man suffrage Is inevitable; the nin compoops and the shifty politicians. There are men who seem to have wo man suffrage in the blood; yearn af ter it; always did; believe in it, ad vocate it. They are the nincompcops. There are .others who think they see it coming and want to be on the re ception when it arrives. There be ing nothing men value more than wo man’s favor, their attainment of it by these is likely to contradict their efforts. What the best women prefer in men is manhood. It is not always to be had, and then, or course, they have to take the best they can get. It is here that the nincompoops come in. The Courier-Journal does not be lieve that women suffrage- meaning precipitate and universal votes for women, ttie had with the good, the black and the white is Inevitable. The real 'luestlon has not yet been considered except by the women freaks in band wagons and circus processions Real women are but be ginning to take It seriously and to de- liberate on it rationally The news papers.

Miaconduct, let ub aay, in bad, but legitrtatlon Is worse. State rlghte and the fabric of government seem to be nothing to these he-women, and even parental and family rights seem very little. Many good women have seen them so abused; so much duties that should go with them neglected, that their politics is merely pure milk, the protection of the young, conditions of life that are not Incompatible with honest and wholesome living. But when It comes to connecting these things with women’s votes, where is she? The relation between women and voting being mainly speculative, their realization of the ballot would prove wholly Illusory. One Floyd Dell, a Chicago crank who seeks to exploit himself, declares that when women get the franchise we shall have an element impatient of restraint, straining at the rules of procedure, cynical of excuses for In action; not always, by any means, on the side of progress; making every mistake possible to Ignorance and self-conceit. Yet still he wants them to vote, he says—“transforming our politics from a vicious end to an ef ficient means—from a cancer Into an organ”.

Bible Into the sea aa man made prtv scrlption and throwing over the re ligion of Christ ae men made hypoc- rtsv l et every Christian woman every a Ise and virtuous wife and mother In the land take Into heart and mind thewe words of the South Carolina Senator, who speake verily aa a pro phet of old "It Is a beautiful dream that wo man suffrage will purify politic*, be cause our Ideals of women are oo high, and we regard them eo abso lutely aa the source of goodness and purity that we can not conceive of their not elevating and helping every thing they touch But the vital and Important thing for us to consider is the effect upon women themselves. "We had better endure the evils of corruption In politics and debauch ery In our government than bring about a condition which will mar the beauty and dim the lustre of the glo rious womanhood with which we have been accustomed all our lives. We can better afford to have degrad ed and corrupt politics than degrad ed and bad women. To have both in ever Incfeaslng degree, as was the case In Rome, would make tho world so unspeakably horrible, as well as corrupt that good men and women would disappear from the face of the earth, and civilization would be blot ted out as it was in the dark ages, after the fall of Rome. “I believe woman will improve politics, but ultimately politics will destroy her as we know her and love her; and when our good women are no longer to be found, and we have lost the breed, the doom of the repub lic is near.” We do not believe with Senator Tillman that woman suffrage will im prove politics even for a little while, or ever has improved politics where It has been tried. On the contrary it will drag, and where women have been caught by it, it has dragged woman down to the level of man. The wise and good women of the world have not yet seriously consid ered it.
