The Morning Oregonlan, In Its Issue of
February 2, devotes a page to the "Rich
Mines of Eastern Oregon." An excellent
map is given of the Eastern Oregon min
eral belt, showing the more important
centers of development, together with a
list of the best developed .properties in
each camp.
This is timely recognition on the part of
Oregon's great daily of what is already
one of the greatest industries of the state,
and is doubtless appreciated, as It should
be, by every mining man. Mining is to
day attracting perhaps more attention to
Oregon than all of her other Industries
combined. It is the gold and other pre
cious metals of Oregon that is bringing
capital to the state from every financial
center of the civilized world. The mines
of Eastern Oregon, and especially those
contiguous to Sumpter, have already ad
vertised Oregon much. They will adver
tise Oregon still more. The gold that has
been taken out of the extensive mineral
belts of this section are but as a drop in
the bucket In comparison with the possi
bilities of this section. These possibilities
are being developed as rapidly as the joint
efforts of capital and mining intelligence
can develop them, and where today but
a dozen dividend-paying mines exist, per
haps 50 will be found inside of another
year.

Demand for Equal Suffrage Is Made
by Only a. Small Minority of.
American Women.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12,-The following
document has been mailed to every mem
ber of congress, in connection with the
hearing of the woman's suffrage question
by the senate ommittee:
"To the Senate and House of Repre
sentatives of the United States, in Con
gress Assembled Gentlemen: It Is now
nine years since the IJtlnois remonstrants
against woman suffrage had tho honor to
lay before your honorable body the plan
of a coalition between the socialistic ele
ment of the labor union and the woman
suffragists, and to enter a protest against
such coalition being exploited In the halls
of congress. At that time tho suffrage
leaders denied that any such purpose of
coalition existed, but, driven from one po
sition after another by the quiet but ef
fective campaign which has been waged
by the anti-suffragists in many states of
thl3 Union, they have, at last. If the pub
lic prints report correctly, been constrained
to accept the very tactics which they at
first so very vigorously disclaimed.
"In view of these circumstances, it he
comes necessary once more, and at some
what greater length, to review the faots
which constitute a continual temptation
to the suffragists to appeal to revolution
ary socialism for aid. And In the first
place, we wish to call attention to the fact
that, while every woman suffragist Is not
a socialist, every socialist Is a woman
suffragist, thee doctrine of the equal and
Identical rights of men and women, and
their equal and identical responsibilities
towards the state, being the foundation
of the entire political scheme of the social
democracy. It Is the avowed aim of this
form of socialism to overturn all existing
institutions, home, church and state. Thla
revolution, it may he stated In passing, is
not only confidently looked forward to
by foreign propagandists, but is accepted
as tho inevitable result of socialistic agi
tation by such American leaders as Pro
fessor George D. Herron, who has recently
resigned his position upon the faculty of
Iowa college because his teachings were
found to be revolutionary, and who has
since that time avowed, in public, that the
social revolution is inevitable.
"Now, church and state might be over
turned by military force, but the home 13

which abrogates the immemorial right
of woman to maintenance and protection
within Its sacred precincts, while she is
carrying forward the work on which more
than any other, the strength and perpet
uity of the state depends, viz: tho bearing
and right rearing of citizens. That this
Is not too strong a statement of the worth
of her work, the condition of France and
Great Britain today forcibly demonstrates,
tho former nation, by being reduced to
the extremity of offering premiums for
large families by her impending retrogres
sion in the rank of nations, and the lat
ter at the possibility qf losing her great
colonial empire for want of civilized citi
zen soldiers. If there were homes In In
Mla instead of harems and zenanas, and
those homes were loyal to her rule, her
cose would be far different. The home
then Is the great bulwark of civilization
against revolutionary socialism and woman
suffrage. Or differently stated, the Indus
trial and political equality of woman la
tho agency relied upon by the socialists
to undermine It.
'The question of the industrial equality
of woman In this country Is very modern.
It is less than a century since the sud
den expansion of our manufacturing and
commercial interests, through the agency
of' steam and machinery, and their ab
sorption of the domestic Industries, such
as spinning and .weaving and the manu
facture of household necessities, threw
women who were not provided for in the
.home upon the general labor market for
support It was a step In advance since
It at once opened the way for the higher
education of women and their more gen
eral participation in the affairs of the
world, thus increasing their Intelligence
and adaptability, but it bore hardly upon
the laboring woman who was compelled,
in a llfe-and-death struggle, to knock at
the gates of all trades and professions,
and to force her way Into them against
determined opposition from tradition and
prejudice. This led to much unjust bit
terness against men, but It also tended
to develop force of character and general
comprehension of the world and Its affairs
on the part of woman.
"But all this time her wages were less
than those of men, for many reasons. To
gain a position in the industrial world at
all it was necessary to underbid men. She
was also at first ill-prepared by previous
training to meet the demands of general
labor. The peculiarities of her physique
told against her, and also the fact that
In the natural course of events she was
more likely to marry. Just, perhaps, when
she was becoming, through knowledge of
her work and experience, more useful to
her employer. And while marriage makes
a man more useful as a laborer, It is a
great drawback, if not a total extinguisher
to woman's valuo In the same field. All
these were obvious facts, but the funda
mental and most important one of all has
had less attention because the world has
not yet learned to appreciate fully the
real, practical value to the state of the
work of women, as woman, that Is, as
Wife, mother, home-maker.
"It was Inevitable that the Inroad of
woman upon the labor market should tend
to lower the wages of men, and In pro.
portion as women grew Intelligent and
adept, to displace them altogether, thus
rendering them unable to support families
of their own, and, at the same time, in-
creasing the number of their women com
petitors. Society has Instinctively felt that
this was a dangerous drift of the social
economy, while, as yet, few writers have
had the conviction or the courage to speak
out and say how dangerous, how fatal,
lioth to morals and statecraft, It really Is.
"Woman is at best but a provisional re
cruit in the great army of labor. Of the
4,000,00) women in the United States who
are wage-earners, fully one-half live at
home, and their earnings go to sWell the
family income. These have their proper
legal representation through the family.
The average length of women's service
in occupations outside the home Is about
five years. Women on the average work
only from about 18 to 23 years-, although
of course there are many whose terms
of service are much longer, but the fact
remains that the body of women workers
is constantly changing. It Is for the gOod
of the state that this should be so, and,
whatever- tflnds to prolong the period of
woman's labor at occupations In which
she Is the competitor of man, and espe
cially at purely mechanical and material
istic occupations, lessens her preparation
for marriage and lessens, therefore, her
chances for a happy marriage and direct
ly decreases the number and value Of
homes.
"Nor is it true that women so outnum
ber men that there is no possibility of
all women marrying." During the years
Immediately following our civil war there
was a slight preponderance of females,
but time has already remedied this condi
tion of things. Government reports show
that there Is In nearly every state of the
Union a considerable excess of bachelors
over spinsters, the aggregate excess being
more than 2,000,000.
"Now, the republic cannot afford to
put a premium Upon celibacy, although
this is precisely what the socialistic state
proposes to do. What Is needed, there
fore, IS not more employment for women
outs'de the home and greater inducements
for her to continue to be the competi
tor of man, but more homes to organize
this excess of celibacy and make It pro
ductive to the state, not only In the way
of citizens, but of those moral and spir
itual Influences which flaw from the home
