He declared that he would ask | Ro.political right for;himself that he 'ywas not willing to grant to his wife, and-announced his intention of sup- 1.orting the proposed state constitu- tional amendment extending the fran- chise to women to be voted upon in Nebraska, next November. Woman, Mr. Bryan said, had proved herself equal -to -every responsibility imposed upon her, and would not fail society in this emergency. Above all other arguments in favor of giving het the ballot he piaced the right of [ the mother to a voice in the moulding the environment of her children. 'The mother,’”" the secretary said, “can Justly claim the right to employ every Wweapon which can be made effective [for the protection of those whose in- fteérests she guards, and the ballot will put within her reach all of the in- istrumentalities of a government, in- juding the police power.” Equality of Treatment. . Some of the things he said are: ' “As man and woman are co-tenants of the earth and must work out their stiny together, the presumption is ofi 'the side of equality of treatment in all that pertains to their joint life d its opportunities. The burden of proof is on those who claim for one jan -advantage over the other in de- itérmining the conditions under which both shall live. This claim has not fbeen established in the matter of suffrage. On the contrary, the objec- [tions raised to woman suffrage ap- ipcar to me to be invalid, while the arguments advanced in support of the proppsitiofi .are, in my judgment, con- wvireing. Matter of Bearing Arms, “Phe first objection which I remem- Bber to have heard was as that woman eannot bear arms, she should not have a voice in deciding questions that might lead to war, or in enacting ws that might require an army for %‘fir enforcement. * This argument is seldom offered now, for the reason at as civilization advances laws are obeyed because they are an expres- of, the public opinion, not merely jecauge they have powderiand lead be4 hind them. Andas we look back over he past, , we may well wonder whether the peace movement would pot have grown more rapidly than it has had woman, who suffers more n man from the results of war n consulted before hostilitiies be- n. ‘It is urged by some that woman’s ig already full of care and that addition of suffrage would either overburden her or turn her attention | away from the duties of the home. fhe answer made to this is-that the cise of the franchise might result a ige of thought and occupa- #fould religve the monotony woman’'s work and give restful va- 0- her activities. And surely home will not suffer if the moth- ‘the child’s first teacher, is able intelligently discuss with her fam- 7 the science of government and the « Ily administering it, ; well meaning men and wom- n °that suffrage would work h to woman by lessening the ject in which she is held. This ame would have more weight _employed against z ‘m “favor of the enlargement of woman's sphere. This objection was once raised to the higher eduecation of womén, but it is no longer heard. The same objection was offered each time the door has opened and woman, instead of suffering degradation, has risen. , Can’t Stop Progress. “These objections, however honest- ly advanced, have proved impotent to retard woman’s progress. May not the fears, sincerely entertained by op- ponents of woman's suffrage, be found to be as groundless as those that once forced the widow in eastern India to ascend the funeral pyre or as those that now exclude Moham- medan women from the social benefits and responsibilities which the wom- an of the Christian world shares? “And are not the second and third objéctions ‘abovo stated " refuted:’ to some extent at least by the fact that in the states that have adopted wom- an suffrage (and in the other na- tions that have adopted it) there s no agitation for a return to the system under which man has a monopoly of the right to vote? 1Is it not fair to assume that an effort would be made to correct the mistake if. woman's suffrage had really failed to give sat- isfaction to the people where it has been tried? Evidence of Earnestness, “If one were in doubt as to which side of the cantroversy to take, he would be justified in giving weight to the fact that organization and enthu- siasm are on the ‘side of those who favor woman's suffrage, Organiza~ tion is an evidence of earnestness, as well as of a comprehension of the subject. “As for myself, I am not in doubt as to my duty. It is not my pur- pose to discuss the subject with elab- oration at this time, but I desire to present the argument to which I give the greatest weight. Without min- imizing other arguments advanced in support of the extending of suffrage to women, I place the emphasis upon the mother’s right to a voice in moulding the environment whicn shall surround her children’s en- vironment which operates powerfully in determining whether her offspring will crown her later years with joy or: bring down her gray hairs in sorrow to the grave. Every Weapon to Mother. “The Creator has placed upon the mother a burden which she could not shift if she so desired, and He hag given her the disposition to bear it. Her life trembles in the bal- ance at the child’s birth; her active years are given to the care and nur- ture of her children; her nerve force and vital energy are expended in their behalf; her exhaustless love is poured out upon them. Betause the wealth of -her existence is bestowed upon them, they are a part of her very being—'where your treasure is, there will your heart be also’ I am not willing to stay' the mother’s hand Cows give less milk, horses de less work whedt Conkey’s Fly Knocker Gives animals immediate relicf and saves you money and trouble. Does not taint milk. Inoffensive to animals. if she thinks that by the use of suf- frage she can safeguard the welfare of those who are dearer to her than her own life. “The mother can justly claim the right to employ every weapon which can be made effective for the protec- tion of those whose interests she guards, and the ballot will put with- in. her reach all the instrumentalities of government, including the police power. Recalls Coined Epigram. “For a time I was impressed by the suggestion that the question should be left to the women to de- cide—a majority to determine whether the franchise should be ex- tended to woman; but I find myself less and less disposed to endorse this test. Samuel Johnson coined an epigram which . is in . point . here, namely, that ‘no man’s conscience can’| tell him the right of another man.’ “Politics will not suffer by wom- an’s entrance into it. If the politi- cal world has grown more pure in| spite of the evil influences that have operated to debase it, it will not be| polluted by the presence and parti- cipation of woman. Neither should we doubt that woman can be trusted With the ballot. She has proven herself equal to every responsibility imposed upon her; she will not fafl society in this emergency. Let her vote! And may that discernment which has, throughout the ages, ever enabled her to quickly grasp great truths—made her ‘the last at the cross and the first at the sepulchre’| —so direct her in the discharge of her political duties as to add new glories to her and through her still further bless soclety.” NOTED JOURNALIST DEAD.
