If there is nothing to be gained by women from the ballot--and of that there is no doubt in any well-balanced mind--what is the country to gain that will balance the disadvantages and burdens, its imposition would imply? Either every woman of intelligence and probity would have to vote in rain or shine, sick or well, in order to counteract the vote of the other women, or the country would more than lose by their suffrage.
Let us retain confidence in the men who make our laws, Mr. Editor, and who vote not only for their own interests but for ours, as they are identical.
