Woman's Right to Vote
As long as public sentim- nt
demands that woman be exenii t
from the punishment she rightly
deserves under the law, that long
she should be refused e^ual
rignte with man in governing
any sta'e or nation The resp .n-
sibility of a government should
rest with equal weight on the
shoulder of all who have a vo!?e
in that government The pun-
ishment doled out by the courts
should be executed impartially
upon all who have the privilege
of the ballot. The people of this
nation have shown, decisively,
that they do not favor capital
punishment for women, no mat-
ter how v.le the crime may be.
Women who are demanding that
they be placed on an equal foot-
ing with man, in their great suf-
frage movement, should stop to
oonsider the sentiment which de-
mands exemption for their sisters
from punishment whioh is im-
posed on man. The Bible, the
greatest treatise on law, saya
"Whoso aheddeth man's blood,
by man ahall his blood be shed ;
for in the image of God made He
man." In this age of sentiment
this sentence is oonstrued literally
Equal rights for women should
not come before equal responsi-
bility to the laws of the country.
Not Issues t
Attorney General Wade H.
Ellis, of Ohio, who was member
| of the committee on resolutions
in the Republican national con-
vention, issued a statement in
which, referring to the proposi-
tions voted down in the Republi-
can convention, he says:
"Of the seven omissions he
(.Mr. Bryan) refers to, six are in
no sense issues before the people
%t this time, nor has there been
any attempt to make them such
I by ths administration, nor by
any other influential element in
the party. The seventh concerns
| injunctions."
Many Republican papers sup-
pressed this portion of Mr. Ellis*
statement. The reaion for the
suppression will be readily un-
der stood when it is remembered
; that among the propositions
whioh Mr. Ellis saya are "in no
sense issues before the people,"
are the following:
j Publicity of o&mpaign oontri-
tributions.
| Ascertaining the value of the
railroads.
The national income tax
The encroachment of predatory
wealth.
Popular election of United
8tates senators.
1 Mr. Ellis has perhaps noticed
' that since the publication of hia j
statement the Republican candi- I
date for president has given
' proof that he has discovered that
the people have some concern in !
the publicity of campaign contri-
butions proposition.—The Com- |
moner.

Hut The\ Forgot it
The New York Tribune -aya:|
"Mr. Bryan is not fortunate in
hiseff)rti to create political cap-
ital "ut if the reasona^le popular
desir-* fir publicity in respect to
campaigr. receipts and ex: ndi-
tures. A few weeks ago, while
b;th the nominees were still in
the position of candidates for the
nomination, Mr. Bryan, in whfct
he conceived to be a master
air jke _ f adroitness, invited Mr.
Taft to express an opinion as to
the propriety of shedding full
light on the funds employed in a
contest for the presidency, their
sources, amounts and distribu-
tions. Thereufon Mr. Taft, who
had hesitated to assume an au-
thority not yet bestowed upon
him. caused the fact to be known
that he had already declared in
writing for complete publicity,
l which left Mr. Bryan in a some-
I what less comfortable position
than he had supposed himself to
be assured of when he addressed
his complaoent suggestion to the
prospective Republican candi-
date."
But several important facts are
to be remembered in this connec-
tion. Chairman Burrows forgot
to tell the convention about the
"publioity letter" he received
from Mr. Taft.
The Republican congress for-
| got to pass a law providing for
| publicity.
The Republican national con-
I vention, which nominated Mr.
Taft, defeated, by a vote of 880
nays to 94 yeas, the LaFollette
plank providing for publicity.
And the best the Republican
party is willing to do on this line
is the promise that "after the
election" Republican managers
will take the people into their
confidence.—The Commoner.
Shame on You, Governor/
Edward W. Hoch, Republican
governor of Kansas, in an inter-
view printed in the Chicago Tri-
bune, speaks rather lightly ot
Judge Grosscup's decision in the
Standard Oil case. The Tribune
quotes the governor as saying:
"The upper court seems im- J
pressed bv the fact that Judge
Landis was 'hard on' the Stan-1
dard Oil Company. I was always!
imprt-ssei by the fact that the j
Standard Oil Company was hard
on me, and on every one else
that it got a crack at."
The Tribune takes the trouble
to say that Governor Hoch made 1
this remark "scornfully." Shame
on you, Governor Hooh, for inti- J
mating that Judge Landis was
not entitled to the drubbing he ^
received.—The Commcner.
