n. Expression of opinion by means of a ballot. The right of suffrage (which is held to be both a privilege and a duty) means as commonly interpreted the right to vote for the man of another man's choice and is highly prized. Refusal to do so has the bad name of 'incivism. ' The incivilian however cannot be properly arraigned for his crime for there is no legitimate accuser. If the accuser is himself guilty he has no standing in the court of opinion; if not he profits by the crime for A's abstention from voting gives greater weight to the vote of B. By female suffrage is meant the right of a woman to vote as some man tells her to. It is based on female responsibility which is somewhat limited. The woman most eager to jump out of her petticoat to assert her rights is first to jump back into it when threatened with a switching for misusing them.
