An old character well known in a city in the central section of the state, was asked after the last presi- dential election for whom he had voted. In his broken English he re- plied: “Well, you know, I could not read the lot of stuff they gave me, so I just voted for Theodore Roosevelt for sheriff.” . oo It was election day noon. Two hundred laborers, Italians, Greeks, Slavs, etc., were eating their cold lunches in the shadow of the great steel building, the Hill build- ing, they were erecting in- St. Paul. Some of these Americanized cit- izens had already voted and were trying to impress upon the others the wisdom of their selection. With their mouths stuffed with bread, they, in their gutteural tones, de- fended their champions. Their hands appeared to be as much a part of their speech as their tongues. An outsider may not have been able to understand them. P Whether or not the old character first mentioned or the laborers, were - doing their country a real service by voting is beside the question. They were exercising their constitu- tional privilege and no advocate of representative government would " think of denying them the ballot. ““All men are created equal.” . x ok Mrs. Anna Morrison, ‘“Mother” Morrison, noble women that she was, valued her work among the prison- ers of the state more than she did her life and passed away a week ago, largely because of overwork. Yet, this good woman, as well as many others of similar type, was always denied the right to vote and there possibly secure legislative assistance for the great work that she was car- rying on. . % % During the time of the last ses- sion of the state legislature a meet- ing of teachers, club women andi}p mothers had been called to discuss a: proposed legislative enactment con- cerning child education. These wom- en were vitally interested in the measure. but none of them had any voice.through the ballot of selecting those men who were to pass upon the bill and yet this subject was much dearer to their hearts than it possibly could have been to the male voters. . s _Whether or not ‘“Mother” Morri- mentioned above ‘would have been doing this country a real service had they been given the right to vote is beside the question. It is, we believe, the in- alienable right of women, be she a large property owner or the wife of a laborer, to-express her voice by ballot in the government of herself, her family, her city and her country. o Today the voters of New York, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania are voting on whether or not the right of ballot should be given the women of their states. The women in their appeal to the|} men of the states set forth the fol- lowing facts: " “We, women of your state, appeal to you to enfranchise us. i “That we must ask it of you shows that you are now our masters. “It lies with you to say whether your sisters shall stand in political eqnamy with you or remain subor- dinate. ““You make the laws which govern us; you decide upon our rights, priv- ileges and duties; you punish us when we break your laws; you re- ward us when we please you; you determine our appointment, hour and ualnries in public office; you give or refuse permission to us to marry and be” mothers while serving the chil- dren of the state as teachers; you hold all legal and civil power over us. ¢ “We do not ask for power over you, but for equality our citizenship, for the right of self- government, for our share in dem cracy. “We ask it on the same gro\mdg_ that you would ask it if the case was) reversed; if you were loyed and hom— sin& the new: building ‘was: put up ored as husbands and fathers, but three years ago. had no status as citizens, no ‘yolce si: _mnes no;th of Quirmg in your government; privilege per- haps, but neither power nor tr dom. “By every law of social evolgtion politicali} They:tried to win just as hard as l we need to share in the progress of our age. “For every reason that men need the ballot the women need it too. “Because democracy, for its health hou_o;ahle mention, Signa Youngman, and growth, requires the full and intelligent participation of all its citizens. We, as half the citizens,] are needed to strengthen this» democracy. “Because we are women, of the world. “Because the world needs, above] all, today a people wise, free and re- sponsible, with its children so reared and trained, and because the ad- vancement of the mother means: the most rapid advancement of the child, that she may teach by example as wives| and mothers, we especially need equal power as citizens, that one sex may not hold an unfair advantage over; the other nor one parent over, the. othen and that mothers together may; take better care of all the children well as precept, we ask for liberty. “Because we are of the same racial stock as yourselves, living in the] same age as yourselves, sharing, the your- selves, hoping the same social im- provements as yourselves, we ask for equal political liberty with your- same social misfortunes as selves. “Give us liberty that we may work with you for the improvement of our race, the progress of the world.” % o “All men are created equal.” Pos- sibly those who are opposed to woman suffrage dogmatically limit the mean- ing of “men” to the male sex. Thomas Jefferson, when he said “all men are created equal” had in mind all man- kind, for he respected and revered his mother,” wife and all others .cf the gentler sex. The men who vote against grant-| ing the right of suffrage to women cast a sad reflection upon their wives and daughters in holding that they. are of a lower mold than the laborers | . above depicted; in holding that these ‘women are intellectually inferior and, women j; must bow their heads in shame and. sorrow that their husbands have soj incapable of voting. The little faith in them. KX KKK KEKK KKK KKK KK ¥ _VOICE OF THE PEOPLE. (R R SRR E RS RS R R R Saum, Minn., Nov. 1, 1915. Bemidji Pioneer, Bemidji, Minn.
