Said Mr. Jones in 1910: “Women, subject yourselves to men.” Nineteen-Eleven heard him quote: “They rule the world without the vote.” By Nineteen-Twelve, he would submit “When all the women wanted it.” By Nineteen-Thirteen, looking glum, He said that it was bound to come. This year I heard him say with pride: “No reasons on the other side!” By Nineteen-Fifteen, he’ll insist He’s always been a suffragist. And what is really stranger, too, He’ll think that what he says is true.
