Her husband hates her, Hip, hurray!

_Chorus by Board_:
Now we have found

To educate
The mind of youth.
No teacher need apply to us

The Unconscious Suffragists

"They who have no voice nor vote in the electing of representatives do
not enjoy liberty, but are absolutely enslaved to those who have
votes."--Benjamin Franklin.

"No such phrase as virtual representation was ever known in law or

interests and occupations: to read about public questions; to discuss
public characters and to hold themselves ready in some degree to give a

the long run each class of individuals is apt to secure better
provision for themselves through their own voice in government than
through the altruistic interest of other
