SHOULD RATIFY
' AMENDMENT
When the General Assembly
of North Carolina convenes in
special session next year it
should promptly ratify the An
thony Amendment to the Federal
Constitution conferring the right
of suffrage on the women of
this state.
In peace and in war the wom
en of North Carolina have al
ways done their full duty, and
they have earned the right to
vote for the protection of their
own interests and the promotion
of their material welfare.
If taxation, without represen
tation was tyranny in the pre
Revolutionary period it is tenfold
more tyrannous to tax women
today without allowing them
any voice or representation in
the framing of the laws for the
world has made more progress
since the outbreak of the war
than it had hitherto made in a
century. It is beginning to do
justice to women.
A new day has dawned for the
whole world and no manor set of
men can stop or check the great
" march toward adiviner civili
, zation".
With the right of suffrage con
ft! red on the women there will
be ushered in a day of "sweeter
manners, purer laws".
"Purity in Palitics" would not
then be an 'irridescent dream"
as the late Senator John Ingalls,
once declared
With the women voting the
nolitcal standards have already
improved wonderfully in many
states and the good Lord knows
that the political standards in
North Carolina are sadly " in
need of improvement.
The North Carolina legislature
should not delay, action on the
Anthony amendment. As an act
of simple justice to the women
of the state it should be promptly
ratified.
Twenty-one states of the Union
have already taken affirmative
actions on this amendment and
North Carolina should fall wtp
line with these progressive states
in doing an act of tardy justice
to the women who have the in
telligence, charactor and capacity
to take an active and intelligent
part irt the affairs of government
Is there any justice in denying
women of culture, character and
capacity the right to vote while
permitting ignorant and corrupt
men to vote?
Is the Democratic party up
holding the fundmental principle
of "equal and exact justice" as
enunciated by the immortal
Thomas Jefferson, when it denies
the women of North Carolina
the right of suffrage.
The Democratic party of
North Carolina must stand by
this principal or repudiate the
jrreat founder of American de
mocracy. What will the party do in
North Carolina next year when
the General Assembly convenes,
we shall see. -The Southerner,
