Suffrage Mother Will Be Better Equipped
Mentally to Teach Her Sons
By TOWNSEND SCUDDER.
Justice of Supreme Court, State of New York
I FAVOR woman suffrage because I believe it will PROMOTE BET
TER WOMANHOOD, bring woman into closer toueli with the
world, broaden and strengthen her mentally and make her more
serviceable in all branches of life's work. 1 do r.": oxpect the millennium
to come with woman suffrage, but MAX WILL BENEFIT BECAUSE
HE WILL HAVE FOR A MOTHER A WOMAN BETTER EQUIP
PED MENTALLY through her study of pub 1 questions, made neces
sary to exercise the duty of suffrage, and through the responsibilities
suffrage will impose upon her.
SUCH A MOTHER WILL BE A CLOSES COMPANION TO HER SONS.
SHE WILL HAVE MORE IN COMMON WITH THEM, AND HER INFLU
ENCE OVER THEM, GROWING O'JT OF HER COMPANIONSHIP WITH
THEM, WILL BE MORE EFFECTIVE. THE SAME WILL BE TRUE OF
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HUSBAND AND WIFE. IN MY JUDG
MENT, WOMAN WILL BENEFIT DIRECTLY FROM SUFFRAGE, MAN IN
DIRECTLY. BUT BOTH WILL BENEFIT. AND I THEREFORE FAVOR IT.

As a dispenser of Important services
In any town none compares with the
retail merchant.
Perhaps the first benefit of impor
tance is the endless accommodations
which he extends his customers. Ilis
books show that where misfortune,
sickness or loss of occupation over
takes his customers he is frequently
obliged to carry them for many mouths.

Take away from the community one
of tho most Important elements of
prosperity, the medium of exchange,
and the elTeet Is inevitable—a weaken
ing of the organism. And that Is pre
cisely what the great mail order re
tall houses are doing. They aro bleed
ing the local communities. They are
destroying local markets, weakening
local credits, reducing the volumo of
deposits in small local banks, starving
out local business men who are con
sumers of farm products as well as
dealers, driving to the large cities
thousands of consumers who can no
longer And employment in small
towus, and the men who are aiding
them In their work of destruction will
soon pay the penalty In tho shrinkage
of the value of their property, as well
as in the loss of their markets.
A Gigantic Monopoly.
That the managers of these gigantic
enterprises understand what they are
doing is. amply demonstrated by a re
mark recently made by one of tfcelr
number in Chicago. He said. "Give us
a few more years and we will make
every city outside of Chicago a town,
every town a village, every village a
hamlet, and every hamlet we will
ivipe off the face of the earth."
What will the customers of the mal!
order houses do then, poor things';
They will have given aid and comfort
to the enemy that has destroyed their
prosperity. They will htrve assisted in
building up a gigantic monopoly. Se
duced by pretty picture books, they
will have In their iunocence starved
out their own best customers. De
serted villages will then mark the
places where prosperous communities
formerly thrived, and the population
of the country will be divided between
the farms and the large cities. The
prospect is not a pleasant one to cop
template.
