Should Wo H' T |ifL It is not the intention of the editor to enter into an argument ou this question, but holding very decided convictions, 1 e 1 herewith briefly sets them forth 1 On this question as on all others the co.umns of The Advertiser ' are open to free discussions so 1 long as the contributions remain 1 free 'from objectionable state- 1 ments. 1 Women should vote for four good and sufficient reasons?and I for one other reason greater than | all four. And the four reasons 1 are these: ( It will be good for the women. 1 It will be good for the men. ' It will be good for the family. 1 It will be good for the state. * In the first place, then, it will ( be good for women to vote?not, ^ it should be noted, to have the 1 right t.o vcte, but to vote, for ( the suffrage 19 not only a priv ilege but an unescapable obliga- 1 tion?because it will broaden 1 their mental and moral horizon. * It will give them something new to think about; and there is no 1 ' better, one might almost say no 1 other, ro?d to intellectual devel- 1 opment than thinking. It will c give them new responsibilities? 1 responsibilities to their neigh- e bors, to the community, to the state. There is no better road to moral development than the assumption and the bearing of i responsibility. i In the second place, to have < women vote will be good for I men. It will put them on their ( mettle, for it would go hard with t macculiue pride to iind the "weaker sex" beating them at i their own traditional task. It fi |t will make the men think too. i Bl ?- m U i. ..X * y ' v tuci r io IIU 5IDI?IU1 m^ciill vtr ' to clear thinking than, fir-t, the 1 necessity of explaining^ matter to an inquiring mind and, sec- t ond, the need of defending one's - own position in argument. It a * ^TwiJl sharpetrmen'a moral reaponi aibility. For women have a way ? oT going straight to the heart of things; and it might he a new stimulating experience for a ' man to have to explain to his f wife, or his mother or his daughter?as fellow voters?just why he was voting on the side of a t corrupt man or in favor of the t liquor tratlic or against, the sup- * presaion of child labor. In the third place, the voting 1 of women will lie good tor the ? family. It will create a new ? bond of union among its mem- < bers. Husband and wife with a f common duty to the state will 5 find themselves drawn closer to- 1 gether. The mother who goes c to the polls with son, the father t who accompanies his daughter to the performance of their common ? civic task will find a new pleas ure in their parenthood and a 1 new outlook in its possibilities, i The son who grows up to find his mother a voter, informed on public affairs and intelligent to discuss them, will have a new I appreciation of h t mother's companionship, a broadened re i ? rpeet for womanhood. In the fourth plac?, woman < suffrage will be good for the atate. The comment has been < keenly made that the state, like the family, neet^s not only a 1 father but a mother Women, uy me very imuire ot llieir being, and of their normal existence, are experts on certain vi- < tal 'objects. And the state 1 needs expert knowledge quite as much as it needs gocd intentions and sound principles. Municip al housekeeping could not but 1 gain in elliciency from the par- I ticipation.in its affairs of those < in the com in unity whose peculiar business housekeeping is. Women will bring to the activifie* of govt-rmeiit a new point of view, valuable because it is a sound pi int of view and no less 1 , - valuable because it. is a different point of view. On such su>jects of the highest importance to the wellbeing of the state as education, working conditions for wo men, the purity of food, child i labor, the liquor traffic, the so i oial evil, and war, women have that to contribute in the way of special knowledge and sympathy which the state can ill afford to be without. Women have different analiP* ties of mind from men. Men are, in tbeotj at least and often in practise, reasoning beings. Wo men Vote? P' menfare creatures of intuition. p' Men p ??d to a conclusion ; women lu leap to it. It is sometimes a startling to observe how woman 'a 8t; intuitiotn surpsses man's reason 8C in soundne8sof result. Bnt to whichever quality be awarded 6? [>he palm tor usefulness, there is lX no question that the two taken a' together are greatly more valuable than either alone. But to come to the last and ^ greatest reason of all. onff.. /.n I. ? ...
