Ml Editor of The Advertiser:
Hr I have been reaaested to write
p you a letter stating why I oppose
: Woman's Suffrage, and I will
give my reasons a best I can.
The first and best argument
against woman voting is history
ittoelf. The wisdom of the ages
has decreed that woman's place
? is in the home, (not as some
suffragettes in sarcasm put it.
the kitchen), but in woman's
place in the home. It has de*
creed that man should be the
bread-winner for his home; that
he is to fight the battles of life
for his family; that man shall
control and dominate in governmental
matters.
A f9w people might pick out a
few isolated cases, and say that
men do not properly provide for
their families; that some of
them mistreat their wires. If
this is true, why not bring it to
the attention of the good men of
the community, and have the
man punished for his wrong, instead
of acquiescing in conditions,
and simply urge giving
woman the ballet. How in the
name of goodness does giving
woman the ballot keep a man
* i ? ? ?
a a v 111 uiiBticatiiig ucr ur lrom
k failing to provide for her? So
much for that argument.
The Bible is the best authority
for man's superiority over woman
in matters of authority. It
was the woman, and not the
man, who yielded to the blandishments
of the serpent, (and
she has been yielding ever since,
if the serpent had the time, the
opportunity, and the desire to
use his blandisnments), and St.
Paul says: "But I suffer not a
woman to usurp authority over
man. For Adam was first created,
and then Eve. And Adam i
was not deceived, but the woman
being deceived was in the
transgression.'. Again in Genesis,
after the fall, we find God
saying to the woman? "I will
greatly multiply thy sorrow and
thy conception; in sorrow thou
shalt bring forth children; and
thy desire shall be to thy husband,
and he shall rule over thee."
( Bold face mine.)
Thus those who 6ay that there
is no authority in the Bible for
opposing Woman's Suffrage must
believe that St- Paul was a fool
and that the Bible is untrue.
Paul voices practically the same
sentiment many times.
Now there are some who quote
Plato, and say that he is as eminent
an authority as St. Paul. |
All that I have to say about
them is that they are preaching
infidelity.
Thus it has been through the
ages that man has ruled over
woman in governmental affairs,
tor by nature he is stronger in
such matter. Woman is ruled
absolutely by her passions and
emotions. For instance where
sterness or strictness is required,
you will find her yielding to the
emotions of love or pity. She
is full of sentiment and passion,
and must of necessity fail in
practical matters where cold, judicial
logic and discrimination
are required. For the above
reasons, woman has no sense of
^ justice. With her, interest, love,
pity or some other emotion
blinds any sense of justice which
she might have, and controls her
emotions.
Witness Kipling's remorseless
logic:
So it coines that man, the coward,?
when he gathers to confer.
With his fellow men In council, he
leaves no place for her?
For when at war with life and vonscience^Jje
uplifts his erring
To some god of nhstract justice,
which no woman understands.
A few years ago, in a State 1
shall not name, a Constitutional
Convention was in session. The
women of the State, or a small,
part of them, at least, sent a
delegation to the Convention
aaking for a Constitutional
amendment allowing women to
p mm m i'.i 15=
men W 1
vote. One 6f the leaders of that
Convention, observing the three
women sent as delegates, said:
"One of them is a childless widow,
another a barren wife, and
the third an old maid?no wonder
they want to vote, there is
nothing to . interest them at
home."
To quote Kipling again :
"Woman can give no more to living,
than the powers that make her
great.
As the mother of the infant, the
mistress of the mate."
One of the noblest, grandest
and greatest things in the world,
is motherhood. It is not only a
privilege, but an honor. The
true mother's place is in the
home where she can rear, educate
and develop her children.
w e do not need women voters
near so much as we need more
mothers and better mothers.
The old saying that "the hand
that rocks the cradle rules the
world," is true. In modern
times, competition is so keen,
times are so troublous, that the
huband has but little time to
devote to the rearing of his children.
He leaves homo earlv in
the morning for his business.
He comes in for dinner tired,
aud has to hurry back to work.
Ho comes in at night tired, worn
out with the worry, and strife
and turmoil of business affairs.
(If men do not pay their wives
proper attention, it might be a
good thing for the wives to cultivate
a smile when their hna.
hands come home after a day's
work, instead of meeting him
with a quarrel.) What time
does ho have to devote to the
proper upbringing of his children?
This whole duty devolves
upon the mother. She is the
one to inculcate in the minds of
those children lessons of morality,
decency, and higher ideals of
life. More than one great man
has said: "All that 1 am 1 owe
to my mother."
Man is often weak, he is only
human, he makes mistakes, he
errs, but what of woman? She
is only human, and how many
do you see entering the marriage
relation with the fixed determination
and resolvff not to
bear children? Such women are
cheats, to say the least, for one
must pay for everything in this
world, and we pay highest and
suffer most for the be6t things.
There is something sacred
about the very name of woman.
Why does a man raise his hut to
a lady? Why do men stand aside
when she passes along the street?
Why do the very worst oi inen,
except in rare and isolated ca?es,
show deference and respect to a
lady? It is because of her modesty
and honor. When woman
surrenders her modesty, she loses
respect of man.
For example if a man were I
running for office, and a woman
was running against him, opposing
him on the stump, critising
his character and official acts,
and trying to inlTuence voters
against lum, do you think that1
that man could possibly feel the
same respect for that woman
that he would have for a lady?
Certainly not for when a woman
enters politics and the turmoil
and strife of business affairs, she
mu6t at least surrender that
modesty which is one of the |
greatest charms of a good woman,
and when she does, she
loses the respect of man, and
should lose respect for herself.
It is a pity that the girls of
the country do not. spi-od more
time preparing themselves for
the marriage relation and moth
herhood, instead of for the ballot.
The marriage rate is still
high, but the birth rate is extremely
low, and among the up
per classes, race suicide is staring
us in the face. It is a fact
that the higher the civilization,
the lower the birth rate. Are we
becoming soft and deteriorating
physically, or is it the modern
fads and fancies, and the mod
ern style ot dress?
God didn't place woman in
the world to be a social butterfly,
vote-chaser or political hatangoer
Woman has a mission
in this world. If the men of today
are not all that they should
be, then if the mothers of to-day
would spend more time in the
rearing, up-bring and development
of their children, then the
next generation will be men inV

Doubling The Regular Army ^
Oat of the deadlock betweeA
Ithe House of Representatives
and the Senate on the size of
the army to be provided by the
Army Reorganization bill has
come sudden agreement. The
conference reports the bill to
the two houses this week and
prompt ratification should be
the outcome.
Under the present law a
maximum size is provided for
the army, but no minimum. Under
the Army bill, as now
amended, there will be a minimum
of 100,000 men, and it will
be the duty of the War Depart
ment to see that the forces do
not fall below that number.
The maximum size of the army
in time of peace may be 175,000,
if the l'resident so decides, and
in event of a national nmer/?enn\r
the President may increase the
number to 218,750 men, without
further action by Congress.
In addition to these numbers,
which include only the lighting
regulars, there will be in time
of peace in round numbers 5000
Philippine scouts, 0000 "f tin
Quartermaster corps, 7000 of the
Medical corps, 8000 of the Signal)
corps, and nearly 9000 unasigned
enlisted men. The President can
create, without Congressional
action, an army of 254,000 men.
This is more than double the size
of the present regular army.
There will be added to the existing
organization 35 regiments
of infantry, 10 regiments of calvary,
15 regiments of field artillery,
30,000 men in the coast artillery,
live regiments of engineers.
The largest increases
come in the field artillery and
engineering branches, where the
need for technical skill and
special training makes sudden
increases most difficult.
