Newspapers, at the request of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, refrained from commenting upon the situation, merely publishing the facts of the cases. One of the negroes, identified as the assailant of three women, including a 16-year-old girl, was sentenced to six months in prison.

But at the same time the foremost reason for the immediate adoption of woman suffrage appears to us to be one of principle. To allow fifty per cent of our population to contribute to the greatness of America in practically every field of endeavor, without allowing them a voice in the government is nothing less than an abridgement...
