Suffragists are the best
mothers, the best housekeepers, the best dressers of any wimmen in the
land. Search the records and you'll find it so, and why?
Because they know sunthin', it takes common sense to make a gooseberry
pie as it ort to be. And the more a woman knows and the more justice she
demands, the better for her husband. The same sperit that rebels at tyranny
and injustice rebels at dirt, disorder, discomfort, and all unpleasant
conditions.
I looked ahead with my mind's eye and see them pretty college girls settled
down in pleasant homes of their own, where sanitary laws prevailed,
where the babies wuzn't fed pickles and cabbage, and kep' in air-tight
enclosures. Where the husbands did not have to go outside their own homes
to find cheer and comfort, and intelligent conversation, and where Love and
Common Sense walked hand in hand toward Happiness and Contentment, Justice,
with her blinders offen her eyes, goin' ahead on 'em. I never liked the
idee of Justice wearin' them bandages over her eyes. She ort to have both
eyes open; if anybody ever needed good eyesight she duz, to choose the
straight and narrer road, lookin' backward to see the mistakes she has made
in the past, so's to shun 'em in the future, and lookin' all round her in
the present to see where she can help matters, and lookin' fur off in the
future to the bright dawn of a Tomorrow. To the shinin' mount of Equal
Rights and full Liberty.
