ONE WHO TRIED TO DRINK. 28, 1914. Mr. to the men and women who listened to the anti-suffrage speech of Mrs. A. J. George of Boston in this city oa Tuesday evening! ‘Why does Mrs. George hold woman responsible for the training of the child? Apparently, in her conception of the family, the father has no part in theimoulding’ of the child’s charac- ter. Local environment, also, she ap- pears to discount absolutely. Listen- ing to her one gathers the idea that the training of the individual Is com- pleted when the young woman or young man leaves e home, and that the product turned out then remains the same product throughcut life. ‘There are some of us who find it impossible to fasten upon either a motheér or a father or upon both par- ents together the credit or the dis- credit of a child’s success or failure in life. It cannot truly be said that women lave in their hands the train- ing of character, except as we make that statement within’a' restricted sense. A human being is what all of his ancestors have made him. Mod- ern psychology teaches us to believe, and teaches so well that we must be- uevi that the personality of an in- dividual is the result of the peculiar blending in himself of primitive ani- mal instincts, of his temperament (something which is dependent upon whichever organ of his body infiu- ences his mind most) and of his ethi- cal training. And it also teaches us that the amount of moral training which the individual is .capable of making a part of himself depends upon the blending of that animal in- stincts which is veculiar {o himself. Therefore it would seem that while mother and father may propose the future of the child, nature has already disposed of him in the niche in life which she intended him to fill These facts do not disparage moral training in the home nor do they lib- erate woman from her obiigations to inculcate in her childt as sound and broad a basis of morals as she her- seif is capable of grasping, but they @0 remove from her mind an. exag- gerated and abnormal view of! herself as beinz solely responsible for the training of her children. ‘We question if, by remaining in the home, a woman is more capable of doing this than she iz when she takes a part In civic and national affairs. It is widely admitted that the individu- al develops as his sphere of knowledge, sympethy and action widens. Are ‘we then going to find woman in the narrower sphere of the home wiser than woman in the larger sphere of the world? It is an old ;axiom that experience is the best teacher. No one can speak forcefully of. anything which he has not himself experienced. It is the men who have done things who Speak te us with authority and to whom we listen with belief. The woman who has had practically no experience with conditions of life out- #lde of the home will never be so eapable of advising her children how to meet those conditions as the wo- man who has met them courageously and wisely herself. The moral teach- ing of women is daily tossed aside lghtly by their sons, for men com- menly say that women do not under- stand the world, ‘that it is impossible to live and carry on business in the world in just the way that women demand. Women are mot practical, they say. They mean that women Pebeco goes one step further— it isn’t half enough to just clean your teeth. ou must go one, big step further.

Everyone remembers the story of - starving mother who, during one of the French wars, withdrew her fam- ished babe from her breast that sho] might give the last drops of her milk to a fainting soldier, the defender of her country. This mother. has pass- |. ed down the year as a super-womanly ters itself upon its own offspring and, | perhaps, a few others close by, is "‘“ivnnce which we of this nearly so strong and fine as the ma- ternal instinct which reaches out to every human being. There are sume women who believe that the great maternal instinct in themselves will have free-er play, be more efficient, when they have a part in the making of the laws, in the naming of those who shall fill public offices. Why any woman should wish to use indirectly the power of her maternal instinct and the power of her brain is hard for the suffragist to understand. The latter takes her stand with Mary -An- tin, who says emphatically in her in- spiring book, The Promised Land, “I never asked anyone to do anything that I could do myself.” Woman should be desirous and proud to help to make her nation’s laws. In doing so she will not injure her “business of being a woman.” But if the anti- suffragist would rather stay at home and have someone else do her work, why not sit down then, when the time to vote’ comes, and teke care of the suffragist’s babies (as Mrs. Geo suggested) and let thé suffragist | the antl's work? Why fuss about it now? Why range the country from north to south, from east to west all the time now? Mrs. George says that it is because the antis are forced to do now what they do not want to do, so that they may not later be obliged to do what they do not want to do. Now the law does not force a citizen to vote. All that will be necessary for the antis to do in the future is not to do it. There are those among us who believe that every act of man pro- ceeds from desire. What an individ- ual does at any time is the thing which, at thaet time, he most preferres to do. We who believe this fail to find any sacrifice on the part.of Mrs. George or any other anti-suffrage speaker in taking the public platform. We believe that if these speakers really wanted to be in their homes, they would stay there. Psychologists tell women that their lives are petty, that most of their time is spent on the “unrealities” of life. Perhaps they speak truly. Great brains and hearts have functioned under gowns that were simplicity it- eelf. It is possible to be both a vir- tuous woman and a good mother in a Mother Hubard. It might be more to the purpose if we sewed our ruffles and tied our, bows on the mentality and on the moral natures of our chil- dren, instead of fitting them out with a scant little pinafore of ethics, as many of us do. If classes in clvic cut out some of women's social life, the foundations of cdivilization will not tremble, Perhaps they may be: comie, firmer. Mrs. George, touching upon (he laws of our country, gave us to under- stand that the anti-suffragist stood for the laws and that the suffragists were revolutionists, To_any thinking person the laws of his country, wheth- er few or many, whether good or bad represent his nation’s greatest me- morial to itself. By those laws the mental and moral grade of the nation is to be judged. If they are just to all the people, they are great laws,l and the nation is a great nation. Are laws which discriminate against a sex or a class just laws? Mrs. George says that the state retains the right to give the vote to whom it chooses, the state in this connection nfeaning the voting males. May it not be pos- sible that the state ers? Whole em- pires have been known to go to the bad. Mrs. George says that suffrage is not a question of right or justice. It is as a question of justice that it appeals to the body of younger suffra- ts of today. To say that it is only question of ‘policy and expediency” is simply to state an assumption. This is what Mrs. George did when, at ! | ! to consider ethical reasons. for the suffragze movement. But she did not disorove that tke suffrage moyement a moral basis, he basis of government is force— , stability rests upon its physical power to enforce its jaws,” says the anti-suffrage party. . “The basis of government is parental instinct and not force. Parental in- stinct is the pawer which produces | the impulse to all altruism, all hu-| manity and philanthropy, to all moral | effort. Parental instinct is maternal which has fitered into| the male throughout the world through the motherhood of woman. Common- 1y, we call It “love, the greatest thing in the world.” If the stability of gov- ernment rested upon its physical pow- er to enforce its laws, all the world| would be a court room and every tenth man a judge. The truth of the matter is that governmént and the laws rest upon a firm basis of ethical princiyles, resting on tke solid body of morals in the community. These ex- isted before government and the law came inte being. The morals of the community created both. Only a very small portion of the lawkeeping is enforced by the use of a nation’s phys- ical power. To state that this is so, is to state a fallacy. “Every reasonable being respects a just law, and resents an unjust one. No reasonabie being, suffragist or other, abuses a good law, even to gain the franchise in this day of enlight- ‘enment. “Soma very learned professors are socialists. Why should not the suf- frage movement as a cause, embrace sccialism ? “Individual suffrage speakers hnv-. made many utterances which do not| represent the ideals or the desires of the whole party. To fasten feminism | upon the suffrage party is a sensation- al use of a bi-product of the process of developing women for a larger. plane of life. First efforts are always Imperfect. ‘Women suffragists have never asked to do the work of men just as men do | it: What they do, they hope to do | better than men. and they cling to this hope, knowing that before they learn | to do men’s work better, they must in- evitably make the mistakes of any in- tal_;‘t organization, he woman suffrage movement not ‘a backward step in the pi - of civilization, It is & movement that aims to produce fair play, the ‘square These are only modern vernacu- lar terms for justice.

Justice is never ‘beyond the means’ of any nation. It is injus- tice which makes the high cost of our national housekeeping. In their atti- itde towards the suffrage movement the men and women of Norwich and the whole world should voice but one opinion, and that opinion should be this one: “I am Antl to Nothing That Makes For Justice.” 7" GRAGE C.
