EQUAL SUFFRAGE.
Holdingeito brief from the
Equal Suffragist and not ex
pressing tffe views of this pa
per, a few reflections upon the
rights of women at this time
Bay be appropriately indulged
from the standpoint, (1) expe
diency, and (2) legality.
Some years ago on. the bat
tery in Charleston, the writer
witnessed a storm and hri at
tention was attracted to the
%aves beating upon the sea
wall protecting the city, and
viewing thfL ugliness of this
wind and storm beaten wall,
-the thought occurred how com
parable it was with man’s rela
tions to world conditions, that^ served by him as
aa the wall had become rough
and uncouth, braving the
atorms and standing between
. the city and its ravages, its very
hideosity, was its best guaran
tee of faithful service; so man,
in life's turmoil, stands be
tween his women folks, and
trials- and disasters of the
werld. That however though-
aaed and rugged he might be
come, his very ruggedness es
tablished within himself, and
in the world’s estimation, • a
veritable bulwark of safety and
protection; and at night, After i sacrifice of their wives and
t
to do.the right things and let
the consequences follow in
God's own providence. i
jf it be right that wohien
should enjoy the ..suffrage, it
should not be denied her, be
cause in that exercise, majori
ties may be increased or dimin
ished to the betterment ojr oth
erwise of American conditions.,
These consequences are apart.
The single question is, is she un
justly deprived of the exercise
of an inherent right?
For many generations, the
English people were without
stable government. Their rights
were wholly dependent upon
the whims and fancies of each
succeeding monarch, and they
were without law protecting
their freedom of action, civi
or religiouR. When they forc
ed Magna Chart* from King
John, their legal rights, for the
first time were fixed and guar-
pass that a government'should
be formed, each agreed to a
relinquishment of so much of
their individual Sovereignty as
might be necessary for the
needs of the whole, but like
King John, each reserved his
individual Sovereignty beyond
thit specifically released in
the Constitution, but simply to
respect it as a solemn contract
between them and the Govern
ment, representing however,
not a conference of rights upon
themselves, but as a relinquish
ment of rights for the common
good, whereas the people of
England worshipped their bill
of rights, as a Fetisch, as it con
stituted the foundation of their
liberties.
In the great struggle for the
creation of this Kingdom in
anteed, but only such rights as
were definitely stated in that
paper. All other rights w’ere
inherent to the King, and re
contained
within his Sovereignty. When
our forefathers fled from this
condition, they were animated
by an ambition to enjoy free
dom to its utmost, without
grace of any king and without
reservation. They fulfilled
their destiny and established
an individual Sovereignty for
each, with recogntion of God
Almighty alone as their Supe
rior. This was accomplished
after untold misery,' depriva
tion and disappointment, and
in their heart’s blood and the
status? There is no statute of
limitation running against
insured peyson. A person who
cashed in an endowment policy
need report as income only that
portion which exceeds the total
of the premiums he paid in all
years on that policy. Annuities
are not taxable, unless the per-
them.' The right long deferred son received in the year pay-
should, ipr that Very,reason, be
sooner accomplished. The
American Nation should speed

there were about 115 units of
