I have looked long and 'fearnes( ly f ,r some one of the male sex, (outside of this Church who thinks tb at woman la a person and worthy of the franchise. I eaid pne of jtho, male tex but I ghoald not have madesuch a sweeping astertion, for there are some honorable exceptions (God bless them!) to the rule, and it ha3 always been a marvel to me, and, indeed, It passes my comprehension how men who profess to be intelligent can be bo blind, it looka to me eo natural that woman should be aa good and enjoy the same privileges as men. Why, they are the mothers of men. The very beet of men havo some of .them are willthe beat of mothew,-aning to acknowledge that their mothers ditl them eome good, but the majority of theraj one would think from their tone, had no mothers. Now, there is a great deal said about Mormon men oppressing Mormon women, enslaving them and a great deal mors of that kind pf ' nonsense, which is to ua very amusing, jorjwe know better, and we knd ff that those who originate such Btorle3 know better, for those Bame men (Mormon men) gave us the franchise, and now those men who would do ua such great ser-- r' "vice (in their minds) would like to see it taken way from; usj'ana yet they love . nsj biaV4 they not proven their love for lis in 'many way?
