If female suftrp'gfem DOES revolutionize' our civil state— If femalersuffrkgism .prevails in New York State after November Second—,' - -TherEecord shall bless that dayl ' .Calvaries with the accompanying vinegar and gall, have been the portion, of wjamen, .long, enough. That wf)maa cannot vote and darn socks'r.all jn .the same,day, is a misrepresentation of fact that no rea- abhable mind can' doubt. Because woman is no longer willing to con* - flne'herself to matters that by common consent come within what is ~j)roadly-reoognizad^a8 t< woman&-pKmnca T — there cnti be naground for. argument \that she hasn't the right to strike away from a beaten path, if .that way be filled with'thorns and other hindrances that'be set her development.. In politics only are we behind the times, and that is the reason of the wail that is now re-echoing, throughput. New York State. Be cause women are seeking a broader outlook; because they are seek ing light ;.becauae.they, are endeavoring toVget a. clearer and. a truer understanding of the full meaning of civil life, the old masters in the political ring are pulling down their dust-covered Bibles and attempt ing to tell us some laughable something about MAN., being created in the image of God, and that, therefore, his rule is God-given and smacks of Divinity. Boshl Woman, able to administer justice at home, is not fit to admin ister it to the civil state! That's \what the antis tell us. Woman, they say, is to rule the home with love and affection. She must bear the babies, onre their colic, train them to be men and women, then turn them out into the civil state to be governed by daddy's laws. If boys and girls do not become good men and true women by the time they leave mother, the chance for reformation later by the great and noble laws papa has so carefully made, is indeed very small Tell us a mother who is competent to rear a family of boys is not fit to march alongside of them to the polls! The futility of such argument needs not the dignity of reply. Mothers and wives do not defame their sons and their husbands by asking the vote, and slowly but surely an era is dawning wherein woman's interest in the affairs of state is growing more deeply. Woman .is pondering matters poli tical—and man has forced her to do it. - The antis warn us that ,women electors would establish laws that they could not administer. Well, we hope the good Lord will deliver us men from our sins of omission in not administering proper ly those WE have established. If the women make a poorer show of it than have we, the Lord pity the country. If giving the vote to woman DOES subject all human rights to feminine decision, who dare dispute that justice in the highest and truest sense would be meted out. Woman, the balance wheel of the universe, has been staggering along under her load-through all the centuries searching for a ra tional idea which would lend more meaning to human life and his tory. She has played a noble part and a great part in every under taking of man. But woman has oft been robbed by her king of the glories of great accomplishment. Man is-ever willing to receive aid and sympathy from woman, but slow to give it in return. He is quick to rush to woman when the dark hours of trouble and adver sity'come, but how slow he is to find her in his triumphs. Mon ore jealous of thoir power and that makes the shoe pinch now. Woman's shoulders aro narrowest and weakest, but they have borne the real burdens through all the ages. Gallant man is busy with his ward] politics, while faithful woman is mending his trousers, minding his I baby, and doing a week'B washing on the side. But things are: changing. The evolution, however, will not make her a less efficient or less willing cook and washerwoman, and i t certainly will make her husband's politics no worse. Changing the status of things is exactly what this country needs. It has been long enough ridden by rings and boRses, cliques and fac tions. Politics can't hurt woman, and woman surely can't make polities any less clean. So, we have everything to gain and nothing to lose. Anti-suffragists claim that woman is quarreling with God because He has limited her sex. Has He T Woman is endowed with functions which make her the equal of man in every particular. In t faot, she is the braver of the sexes. Weaker in body, she. bears more pain; more delicate in physique she stands the hardships of life with less complaint; brave as a lion always; inherently good, and in Arises she keeps her head better than-the-stronger of the sterner sex. The men who pretend to see socialism and feminism \going hand in hand, do not look for confiscation. The wife who has spent forty hours pleading for a $2.98 autumn hat, would never be a match at \confiscating\ with her great and noble king. Never in the history of any campaign has there been so much idle argument put forth as is now advanced against the cause of women. But much of i t is aiding instead-of hindering, and the result of the movement which is sweeping the country is plainly discorn- ablo by all whose eyes are not befogged by prejudice. Woman is coming into her own^and man will soon be proud of his rib) marked the'-rihg. 11 t.

The very word, \.freshman\ suggests awk wardness. Not merely does he feel his rawness, but the older stii dents subject, hirri to. some oppressions.. This is supposed to be es sential to his training. Formerly this taming took the form of physical hazing. Put ting the'freshman under the pump\ is \older\than any text book. - Un doubtedly some impudent spirits *d their presumption worn off by such'methods. But the average .sophomore is not mature enough to set up as moral disciplinarian or censor of manners. In most colleges now the more active hazing is obsolete. But there are subtler, sometimes more irritating ways of attaining the 8anio purpose. There is a feeling that the freshman is a bumptious specimen, whose self conceit must be taken down. He must know his place, and show due reverence to dignitaries like sophomores Various humiliations are devised, toward these ends. The freshman is of course 'a little absurd from his un familiarity . his new world. Tgnornnt nf its tnauf ers And customs, he makes' blunders. The sophomore who sneers at them seems an infinitely wiser personage. As a matter of fact, he doesn't know much more. His additional year of study and experience has still left him with the conceits of extreme youth. His college life may even have added to these conceits. Despite the freshman's various awkwardnesses, he is a very at tractive figure. He is full of enthusiasm and ambitions. Perhaps these are more fervent than they will be later in the course. He may then learn how to capture a degree without working much for it, High and preparatory schools turn out very mannerly looking graduates nowadays. These lower schools provide a pretty full life of their own, and the boy as he gets on to college often looks and acts very like a gentleman. There may be little of the rawness that the word \freshman\ suggests. NOT LOYAL TO THE PARTY The Morning Republican, alias the Organ of the Boss, has lately had'much to say about \irregular\ Republicans. We rise to inquire if the Republican would not like to apply for charter membership in this organization, since it has seen fit to place itself in a decidedly irregular class by jabbing one of the State de partmentsT We do not see how the Morning Organ can consistently attack Geo. E. Green, excise commissioner, one of the truest Republicans who ever lived and who holds a commission from Governor Chos. S. Whitman, and be loyal to the Republican party. It is past under standing, such action as this on the part of the Organ. The Morning Organ, boastful always of its \regularity\ in party affairs, had better sweep around its own door for no one thing can do the party as much harm in Broome county as the twisting and warp ing of facts and the continuation of playing petty politics in an ef fort to deceive the people. Geo. E. Green's record will stand for itself. THE P. OF LETTERS ZNDIdOTT'S RAPID MARCH Endicott is indeed a Wonder Town. From the very beginning of the village's existence it has done — —big things and very many of them. 2fcBct~gac1l year seesTEia municP polity exceeding its efforts of the past. This fall, the village is in -the midst of the greatest expansion it haB ever known or experienced. Before the end oi| the year practic-, ally $60,000. irLitreeV-improvements will; have-been recorded^ This gigantic paying scheme is but tho beguminjg' of what--.the village ex pects to accomplish in this, line if tho*pr_eseht plans' are carried out nu* and they undoubtedly wili be. The paving scheme as worked out contemplates an 6utlky„oi fr6m.'$25,000t6.^35;0p0 ; a year for a period of three years, after the'i present year's work is completed, thereby giving the town BtreetsypkYed throughout. If the plana carry, Endi cott will be the best paye'd-Tillage in New York State. And the village's paying scheme is just an incident in the gen eral growth and progress!';-The social,\commercial and industrial radvancement is keeping stride with the civic progress. Endicott's kj> ... {foundation was well and wisely laid and each part of .the 8upe.r$truc- ijrurfi'as it is builded, shows plainly the good work of its founders. . -\.\{The v 'accomplishments of-the oast are certain indications* that Endi- rfitiZit?* fnfriT-o'iii to Tvm<»Ti* «« that of any other town in this country. HAKDWRITING ON THE WALL Some one has started a newspaper discussion about the propel- way to page letters. It may be a minor matter. But a considerable number of bad words are constantly elicited by the eccentricities of some people in this respect. Formerly people wrote letters in a straightforward way. They begun on page 1, turned this leaf over and called it page 2, and so on with 3 and 4. Now they may start anywhere and jump to any page on the sheet. One common method is to jump from page 1 to page 4, then write pages 2 and 3. Others will jump from page 1 to page 3, then take 2 and 4, arguing that the two front sides of the leaves should be covered before the two back sides. Probably the real reason for these peculiarities is the desire to give some originality to a letter. It is apt to be done by the same people who adopt a very striking manner of penmanship, which is exceedingly stylish but very illegible. The best written letter is the one written without pretense, in the most obvious way, the pages following like the pages in a book. EVERY VOTER SHOULD REGISTER Saturday is the last day for the registration of voters in the town of Union. It is vitally important that every voter should have his name on ihe lists. There are coming up for the decision of the people some very important questions before the next opportunity will be given to re gister. Notable among these questions of great importance to the whole people is the general election this fall; the woman's suffrage amend ment and the presidential election next year. Unless a voter is re gistered he cannot exercise the franchise in the forthcoming national election. Each voter should see to it himself that his name is upon the lists. Don't take anybody's word for it; go see for yourself. OUT; OF TUNE BUT NOT OUTOF WIND »s t) ^*Kchv^ x ^atefcrafr.'cbntwfcfog everyXconntyi.and k city office, they ^themselves.
