Show If a Woman Had Done It. Trust the suffragettes to make capital capi-tal out of the merest indiscreton of mere man! The following is an example, ex-ample, taken from one of their publi- cations, the Newsletter, for January: "A lovely little press item floating up from Chatham Courthouse, Va., made the editor laugh and laugh. It said that a juror sneaked out of the jury room while the rest of the jurors were asleep, and went and milked bis cow. He laid out to get back before the others waked up, but somebody i saw him and told on him, and the trial had to begin all over. If a worn- an juror should do that out in Wash-l Wash-l ington or Idaho, wouldn't it be a proof of the incapacity of the sex for the duties of citizenship?" |
