have any influence with those women who believe they have the
same facilities for communication with the Divine mind as men
have.

The right and liability to be called on to fight, if we vote, as
continually emphasized by our opponents, is one of the greatest
barriers in our way. If all the heroic deeds of women recorded in
history and our daily journals, and the active virtues so
forcibly illustrated in domestic life, have not yet convinced our
opponents that women are possessed of superior fighting
qualities, the sex may feel called upon in the near future to
give some further illustrations of their prowess. Of one thing
they may be assured, that the next generation will not argue the
question of woman's rights with the infinite patience we have had
for half a century, and to so little purpose. To emancipate

themselves our slaves? Is it not a well known fact, conceded even
here, that women shine in all the tints of the rainbow while men
must wear only costumes of dull brown and somber black? Nor is
this because men do not like bright colors, for never a belle in
all the sheen of satin and glimmer of pearls looks half so
happily proud as does a man when he has on a uniform, or struts
in a political procession with a white hat on his head, a red
ribbon in his buttonhole and a little cane in his hand.

Then, too, have not men, poor fellows, had to do all the talking
since the world began? Have we not heretofore been the silent
sex? Even to-day a thousand men speak from pulpit and platform
where one woman uplifts her voice.

But let us pass t
