Washington, Dec. 20.—On all ddes
hears the qaestion, “Are you a
i^ragistt” aad, like St. Pester,
comes the answer “No.” And on the
other hand a woman emphaticaUy der
nounces woman sufErage and th^
tm» to her eosQ^ftnion azid asks
“Wiiat is it any way?” I believe
it would be safe to say timt a half
6f the people have no real concep
tion of the meaning and ptirpose of ^6 and were rather worn out
from their exertion.
The couple started out early yes
terday moraiEg, as the old soldier ex
pressed it “between daybreak and'
sun-up.” Their intention had beenj
to wa& to the raikoad from their'
home in the northern part of the 1
county and then catch a train bound!
for the dty. However the old cou-1
pie continued to walk and as a result
late yesterday afternoon were guests
of Judge Green.
For his services in the war Mr. Ja
cobs was granted a pension and it
was for that pension of ^2 tJiat he
decided to come to’ dty. Mrs.
Jacobs not wisHng^^ W tet'Mm coide
alone had decided # com© T»ith him.
Their age did not keep them from j
making the best of a bad trip. I
The couple asked yesterday iff
^ey intended returning home immed-'
iately. ‘^o sir* I wouldn’t go for
porty,’’ stated 3ilr. Jacobs. He eon-
tanued by stating- that since his' wife’
and himself were in the city that they
niight as well look at some of t?e
.sights.
This is..one of tlie most unusual
cases in the history of the county,
Haiidreds of years ago, when horses
and wagons were more scarce than
automobiles are used at the present
time, no one would have thought so
mnch of the feat, should it have been
accomplished by young people. How
ever, the remarkable part about the
long walk by the old couple is that
tney are so c>ld and do not look extra
strong.

equal suffrage.
I am not an inteliectual woman, as
the word goes, nor have I a vast fona
of statistical knowledge of politicat
and social conditions; but I know
there are thousands of business •
men and mothers who fee! as i do, ?s-„,
rt'ho are thankful in their hearts that
there are women brave enough to
plead publicly for what they believe
to be right.
The other day I stopped to hear a
public suffrage address. A crowd was
gathered. Every line and gesture of
the Ji^peaker betokened gentleness.
Talking to a crowd who were only
tQo ready to sneer and jest, could any
one believe that she, a woman sur
rounded by every luxury and pleasure
that wealth can give, was pleading
for a selfish personal cause? Why
should she be concerned about vfmner.
who are toiling from day to day in
factories and ill-smelling shope on
pitiful wages, and Uttle children that
are cruelly robbed of the sunlight
and education due them?
Let the men take care of the situ
ation is the rejoinder. France was
overflawing ■with men when Joan of
Arc donned her armour and placed:
herself at the head of an army. She
did not stop because she ■was a wo
man. Her beloved country needed
her. Those who could not fight for
themselves and could not plead their
e&use must be protected. She answer
ed the call.
The woman’s place is the home. So
be it. But what of those women ■who
have no homes, or at best, ■wretched
places of abode that bear that hal
lowed name. Where other women
keen their babies close to their sides,
she must wabsh hers go to toil. And
what of the whiskey-crazed men ■who
are brutally misusing their wives and
children.
iiaphazard philanthropies and char
ities have not aleviated these condi
tions and never ■will, but compulsory
laws can, and a law means votes.
WTien the masses vote, it is un
questionably true that often the vote
of the earnest thinking, intelligent
man is outbalanced by the whiskey
bribed vote of the mob. The bulk of
tha vast amount of money, expended in
political campaigns is spent in whis
key bribery. And yet those same rep
resentatives are electedby the ‘Voice
of the people,” and likewise laws are
passed or killed by the socalled voice
of the people. We do not seek to
oppose our men; we only seek to ally
our forces ■with them. It would be
needless repitition to show why an
intelligent woman’s vote should not
ha'V'e the weight that the votes cast'by
illiteratemen do, because it has al
ready been found hard to convince a
people of what they do not desire to
be convinced.
The gravest obstacle in the path of
equal stiftrage in the South would be
the inclusion of the ignorant and ■vic
ious. According to views expressed
by some of the deepest thinking men
of the south, it would inevitably mean
this, if the right to vote were grant
ed to southern women.
It was this very menace that con
fronted the South in its reconstruc
tion. ^Taen marched to the polls in
their heroic effort to restore political
order from chaos, a giant mountain
towered in the backgrov.nd, expect? nJ-.-
ly waiting to join in the governing’
of a new country. I need on^; say that
ha\ing the right to vote^ with mil
lions behind to encourage them to [
vote, with the exception of a brief
period of political liberty, they cea.«5ed
;o play a material part in the polj
