EQUAL SUFFRAGE OF MEN AND WOMEN Women Need It; Men Need It; The State Needs it! ' g v- WHY? ' ?'. - Women ought to Give their Help. ', f . RTIfiATISE Men Ousrht to HAVE Their Help: The State Ought to USE their help. If At All, Why Not On All? There arc just fifteen states in the Union in which no women vote anything whatever. There are eleven full SuffragcStatcs and one other where women vote for president. There are twenty-one other states in which women have a partial right to vote generally for mem bers of school boards. ' . "So in two thirds of the United States," says the Inde pendent,' "the question is no longer, 'Shall women yotef It is rather, 'Shall tyomen who vote for this be allowed to vote for that as wellf And in one quarter of the states even that searching question has been answered in the af lirmative. - ; ' i "Let us face the issue squarely. . " Since women may vote on child education, why not on child labor 9 1 - " Since, women may have a hand in the spending of pub lic moneys for hiring school teachers, why liot for employ ing food inspectors? 1 "Since their votes may influence the building of a school house, why not of a postoffice? "If women are" to vote at all, they should vote in all states. If a woman's place is in the home, it is as bad for her to lake a place in a school board as in a health board. "For two-thirds of the Ignited States, the question of woman's tingisettled.' The only open question is 'the further extension of suffrage to women.' To that question logic, good sense and.fair play have but one answer." taiio Yot .OOttlflfl niiey A. ' OveiFr ! ' . ...
