Irvin Cobb told them at the Kentucky dinner that “the reason woman suffrage is not a success in his State is that woman can never be man’s equal because she is always his superior.” That remark has a sort of “befo’ the wah” flavor. Women accept man’s word that they are much his superior but when they get the ballot they will try to improve his status.
A “mere man” complains in a Chicago paper that “men have dwindled in importance in the eyes of women.” Don’t worry! They are just as important as ever in their own eyes.
The pugilists of California are so mad because prize fights are prohibited that they are going to move out of the State to spite the women who did it.
The Los Angeles woman police officer who is touring the Eastern States gives as one great advantage of woman suffrage that men no longer have to go down town to talk politics. A good many men would consider that an argument against it.
The secretary of state for New York is willing to concede a good deal to women, but insists on the “physical superiority” of men. Then how do all life insurance statistics happen to show that women live to a much greater age than men?
