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.

Now is the time to make plans
Tor?
(1) Co-operation in marketing
cotton next fall.
(2) For a community fair,
and also a county fair, next fall.
(8) For a neighborhood picnic
after crops are laid by.
(4) For organizing a credit
union or farmers' saving and
loan association this summer or
li
[ 11.
(5) For organizing a school
or neighborhood debating society.
(tt) For starting community
baseball.
(7) For getting all the farmers
of the community to join together
in a trip to visit some
county or section where farmers
have distinguished themselves
for good farming rural co-operation
(8) And finalj it's a good
time to make up your mind that
among candidates and leaders in
your party, you will give the preference
to those canidates who
have defined platform for the
betterment of rural interests,
and that you will give little attention
to the man who, dodging
specific issues, engages only in
abuse of opjionents and glittering
generalities about his owu
position.?The Progressive Farmer.

very interesting story to tell

rove of value to farmers.
He has discovered by accident
hat he believes to be a specific
i the prevention of hog cholera,

hough Mr. Kerr is very conjrvative
in his claims, it is evient
that he feels certain that
