The New York Tribune says, “Another ten years and the clinging vine will be only a moist and tender memory.” What a fortunate thing for the oak!
The sphygmograph is the invention of a woman doctor and the person who wears it cannot tell a lie, even to his wife. Something of this sort was bound to happen when women were permitted to enter the medical profession.
“Feminism is the process of putting father out of business,” is a specimen anti-suffrage epigram. If feminism means that able-bodied young women shall earn their own living, perhaps father will have a chance to get something ahead for his old age.
The Reno Gazette in its fight against the suffrage amendment said that when a straw vote of the women was taken in 1895 in Massachusetts, they declared against enfranchisement 38 to 1. Suppose they did—what has that to do with the women of Nevada in 1914? The fact is, however, that the women voted in favor of it 25 to 1. Next!
And so the anti-suffrage ladies are going into the thick of the congressional fray to help elect the men who will promise not to give them a vote! It is now in order for them to get up a street parade and then the suffragists won’t have a thing on them—they will have done everything they were afraid they might have to do if enfranchised and they haven’t got the ballot as a compensation for doing it. The joke is on them.
