A REPLY TO SUNFLOWER. Dear Editor and Social Corner Sis- ters: I had hoped not te bother you any more with my letters. I have been interested in most of the letters, though. However, I sce it is necessary for me to come into the limelight again. Miss (?) Sunflower: I am much obliged to you for condescending to notice my last letter. I see that you answer most of my questions in in- terrogative fornmi. Not very specifie, certainly; but I think I see your stand- point on the subject. I would like to discuss these points a little further, just to show you why 1 oppose wo- man’s suffrage, First—In high school, women have control. You concede this much. “Why don't the boys speak up and suggest that either the cumulative or the Nmited vote plan be practised?” (I think this is quoted correctly). My answer is that the girls have them so thoroughly under control that the boys hardly dare to even second a motion for adjournment. I know this from experience. I also remember an inci- dent when one of the boys ventured to question a vote, Were you present, also? Talk about monopolies; we would certainly be well monopolized, if the women had control. Second: I doubt if woman's suffrage would affeet the liguer question much. Look up the statistics concerning states where women do have the vote and see if they've presented any bills, or passed any on this subject. This is not one of my strongest reasons, anyway, Third—Politics are corrupt and wo- men can correct them, with emphasis on the “can. As a counterpoint, I maintain poli are corrupt and men can correct them a great deal better without the help of the women. I don’t think that a good' definition of woman could lack the words “vain, jealous.” Puigthat's simply a private opinion and doesn’t bear directly on the point in question. I still maintain that politics is in just as good shape as it pessibly could be under feminine control Fourth—The husband of the suffra- gette certainly must suffer, Consider his suffering after the suffragetie has returned from the polls and has found that he broke a cup while washing the dishes, or allowed the cookies to burn. Ob, T pity the husband of a suffragette, especially if she is in good health, Her return from the polls will be en~ tirely different than his return from the clubrooms, some hours later. But this is not all suffering man- kind will have to undergo. The gen- tle Sunflower is breathing vengeance agalnst men whe uphold the liquor business and tobacco trade, before she even has hopes of casting a ballot. There certainly will be an abundance of suffering throughout this country if sufiragettes get the vote. A CO-SOLID. flfimh‘filfl HORLICK'S MALTED MILK Maf i Erew NP~ T remgf does he get, poor man?
