Anti-Suffrage Column
(Edited by Grace M. Tween, mem> ber of the Merrick Branch of the New York State Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage.)
The following is an article written by John Martin on the subject of "Forcing Women to Vote." Mr. Mar¬ tin puts forth tbis question: "Since the Majority do Not Want to, What Good Wil it do the Government?"
Suifragist.s want man to play the ty¬ rant. They woQld have him force 90 per cent, of tbe women to accept the responsibilities of the vote because 10 per cent, of the women want the vote. That would be a betrayal of democ racy. Suffragists say that women are fit to vote; anti-suffragists say that not only are women fit to vote, but they are fit to determine whetiier they want to vote. Suffragists say that the vote is a burden. Suffragists say that because women are different from men therefore men cannot represent women and women should vote. Anti- suffragists say that because women are difi'erent from men the women have more important home duties than me^ and should not be made to share men's duties.
Oppo.sition to extension of the suf¬ frage started among the unenfran¬ chised only when it waa proposed to extend votes to women. Who ever heard of men forming societies to pre¬ vent liaving the vote thrust upon them? Did men ever get up meetings.
The first basketball game of the sea¬ son was played in the Parish House on Monday night, between the Victor Clnb and the St. George Triangles of Hempstead. The Victor Club won by a score of 31 to 20 in a very fast game. Quite a number witnessM the game.

"Special preparations for billing regular subscribers correctly for the tax imposed on their messages of 15 cents or over also had to be made. New collection routines bad to be pre¬ pared and new systems of accounting worked out. The Telephone Company has advised all telephone users of the new law and the methods put into ef¬ fect for collecting the tax. Notices giving full directions have been placed on all public telephones and all sub¬ scribers have been advised by means of a circular enclosed with their monthly bills. This circular explains the method of making the charge for ! the tax and gives a digest of the law j relating to it.

But women are different, different, not According to tlie judgment of men, but according to tlieir own judgment. So well aware are the suffragist lead¬ ers of this fact that they always resist any proposal to find officially the nurh- ber of women who want to vote. They aigue (1) that if only one woman wants to vote she should be allowed to vote, and (2) that if women are asked to Sky, officially, whether they want to vote only a small minority would cast a ballot and, therefore, a majority of women qualified to vote should not be required. fti • j
These arguments make of govern-1 ment by the peopU^ a joke. "If only one woman wants to vote ,she should be allowed to to vote!" Similarly, if only ooe man wants to keep a pig in tbe city he should be altowed to keep a pig in the city. If only one man in Maine wanta to drink in a saloon he ahould be allowed to drink in a aaloon. Democracy means government witb tbe oonaent of the governed.

"All telephone bills rendered during the life of this law will include a toll service statement that will show those messages on whi6b the tax is to be lev¬ ied, together with the amount of such tax.
"The law directs that this tax shall be .collected from the person paying for such message or conversation and places tbe responsibility for collection upon the Telephone Company."

Tween, mem> ber of the Merrick Branch of the New York State Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage.) The following is an article written by John Martin on the subject of "Forcing Women to Vote." Mr. Mar¬ tin puts forth tbis question: "Since the Majority do Not Want to, What Good Wil it do the Government?" Suifragist.s want man to play the ty¬ rant. They woQld have him force 90 per cent, of tbe women to accept the responsibilities of the vote because 10 per cent, of the women want the vote. That would be a betrayal of democ racy. Suffragists say that women are fit to vote; anti-suffragists say that not only are women fit to vote, but they are fit to determine whetiier they want to vote. Suffragists say that the vote is a burden. Suffragists say that because women are different from men therefore men cannot represent women and women should vote. Anti- suffragists say that because women are difi'erent from men the women have more important home duties than me^ and should not be made to share men's duties. Oppo.sition to extension of the suf¬ frage started among the unenfran¬ chised only when it waa proposed to extend votes to women. Who ever heard of men forming societies to pre¬ vent liaving the vote thrust upon them? Did men ever get up meetings. The first basketball game of the sea¬ son was played in the Parish House on Monday night, between the Victor Clnb and the St. George Triangles of Hempstead. The Victor Club won by a score of 31 to 20 in a very fast game. Quite a number witnessM the game. Tax On Telephone Messages (Spicial Correspondent) Mr. Ryder.

So well aware are the suffragist lead¬ ers of this fact that they always resist any proposal to find officially the nurh- ber of women who want to vote. They aigue (1) that if only one woman wants to vote she should be allowed to vote, and (2) that if women are asked to Sky, officially, whether they want to vote only a small minority would cast a ballot and, therefore, a majority of women qualified to vote should not be required. fti • j These arguments make of govern-1 ment by the peopU^ a joke.
