BALLAD OF A SUFFRAGIST
By Lucille Marsden.
It was a doughty suffragette, her name was Mrs. Tupp;
She had some little ones at home, a husband, and a pup.
She held a suffrage meeting at the corner of the square,
And eloquently pleaded with the crowd assembled there.
She made the speech in Brooklyn, in the borough by the sea,
And she pleaded Votes for Women most enthusiastically.
She spoke about our food supply as if it were impure,
And insisted Votes for Women would its quality ensure.
Her voice rose high and mighty on a domineering note
As she drew the paradise we’d have when women got the vote;
She was vehemently urging all the men to join the cause,
When a voice, behind her elbow, rose above the wild applause:
“Votes for Women! Grub for husbands!—that’s a more important thing
Than the stuff that you are preaching to the crowd that’s listening!
You come home and cook the bacon, for it’s long since time to sup,
Cook the dinner for your children, and your husband, Henry Tupp!”
“Home to supper, home to supper!” then the crowd began to cry,
When the speaker beckoned wildly to a p’liceman passing by.
“Please arrest that gay disturber of the public peace!” said she,
And they dragged poor Henry off, as he was shouting gleefully.
Mrs. Tupp appeared against him at the court, as is the law,
And reluctantly admitted that she’d seen the man before.
“I know him very slightly,” absent-mindedly said she,
“I believe he sometimes visits with the children and with me.”
Upon investigation it was found that she was right;
Gay Henry Tupp, so free of care, was seldom home at night;
But he sometimes condescended, when his cash was getting low,
To stop with them for supper, and to chat an hour or so.
Said Mrs. Tupp, “I’m working for the children and for me,
I, just as well as any man, support my family;
So that is why I lecture from the corner of the square,
Instead of getting supper for a man who isn’t there!”
Poor Henry hung his head in shame, and promised to be good.
And they trotted off together, as married couples should.
“Votes for Women!” is his watchword, he has taken suffrage up!
An energetic suffragette is Mr. Henry Tupp!
THE CRIME OF BEING A SOLDIER’S WIFE
Women Receiving Government Pensions Kept Under Special
Police Supervision.
On the grounds that the women and children of soldiers are receiving
Government pensions, the wives of English soldiers are put under special
police supervision. Thousands of women in England are protesting
against this indignity offered the women, who have to make the greatest
sacrifice for their country. It is suggested that if the police are the best
judges of the private lives of people in the pay of the Government, they
should begin with a close supervision of the private lives of Members of
Parliament.
A CLASS IN PUBLIC SPEAKING
under the direction of
MR. DALE H. CARNAGEY of NEW YORK
is being formed among the members of the Equal Suffrage
League, the Just Government League and the Maryland
Woman Suffrage Association.
The first meeting of the class will be held at 2.30 P. M.
on Wednesday, January 13, 1915, the place of meeting to
be announced later.
All those who desire to join the class should send in their
names at once to their league’s headquarters, as the charge
for the lessons will be determined from the number joining
the class. It is hoped that 25 cents a lesson will be the max<
imum charge per person.
