10 IHE TJSIXAT OltEWOKIAX, POKTLA'D, JULY 2, 1905. USE TIE PRESS FOB SUFFRAGE Advice Is Given How to Get Their Ideas Before the Public. INITIATIVE IS DISCUSSED Women Debate Problems of Eco nomic and Political Interest With a Surprising Grasp of Subjects Discussed. f RESOLUTION BY SUFFRAGISTS. Whereas. Presidont Roosevelt is rep resented by Lucas Malct In the London Fortnightly Review as an advocate of the subjection of women and an en emy of equal rights: therefore, be It Resolved. That " protest against this as a slander to the President and a flagrant contradiction of his well known public record. The initiative and referendum and how best to utilize the press in the interests of equal suffrage were the leading ques tions of yesterday's session, and W. S.'' U'Ren. who made an able address on what the former seeks to accomplish, found that it was not necessary to explain to his audience the principles of direct legisla tion. He talked to a body of women who knew just about as much of the subject as he. but not of local conditions. The discussion which followed his talk was 'general, and while it was conceded that the initiative was Invaluable for bringing questions before the people which could not be submitted otherwise, and that the time was at hand for ths Oregon women to place their petition and have the ques tion of suffrage put to a popular vote, the majority held that for the National association to Indorse this measure at the present time would not work to the interest of the cause in other parts of the country, and the resolution offered ny .Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt to "affirm our belief in the initiative and referendum as a needed reform and a potent factor In the progress of true democracy," was re ferred to the committee on resolutions without action. A Comprehensive Discussion. The discussion of this political measure was so varied and able that it would have put a political caucus to shame, tor there was no disorder and the arguments were deeper than the average machine politician would have been able to grasp. This body of women is thoroughly up on state and National politics, and there is not a measure before the American people today that it Is not familiar with. There is never a change In the pulse beat of National politics that escapes it or that is not understood by it. As far as the Oregon situation is con cerned, it is the opinion of Miss Anthony that the petition should be completed be fore the plans of the coming campaign are made public, but other leaders feel that too much cannot be ,ald in favor of it at the present time and that there is no doubt but that the power given by the initiative will be fully realized by the ref erendum. The Oregon State Equal Suff rage Association will accordingly complete the petition on which it has been working, and will put the question of equal rights for women In the voice of government to a vote of the people the coming year. In 1900, before the initiative and referendum went into effect, Oregon voted on this question, and it failed by a majority of only 2000. The local associations claim that their numbers and sympathizers have increased surprisingly since then, and that when the question comes to a vote again the .sweeping majority by -which it will pass will open the eyes of even the liquor dealers, who never cease to fight them. Symposium Is Conducted. A symposium- conducted by Ida Husted Harper for the discussion of how best to utilize the press was participated in by ten or 12 bright newspaper women ?rom -various parts of the country, and if the great political organs of the United States knew how well the.se women have the tricks of the trade at their fingers' ends, they would empioy special detec tives to watch for suffrage literature In disguise. It was generally conceded that many abort articles were worth more to the cause than a few long ones, and that the reading public's appetite for sen sation or news that is new should be regarded in preparing matter for the press. It was Miss Blackwell's sugges tion that the most-important event of the day. whether it be the Russian war or the Mitchell trial, should be woven Into the leads of such stories, and another Injunction of hers was not to roast men as a sex. "It Is all right to abuse an in dividual." she said, "and if you want to scold Grover Cleveland or Harry Thur non Peck or Dr. Lyman Abbott, do bo. but don't Include all men In the scolding they don't like It " Mrs. Duniway stated that while women's Journals and suffrage organs were good to sustain. It was the secular papers which could best bring the movement before the public. "That's -all right, Abigail." was Aunt Susan's comment on this. Hovr to 3Ianage .Managing Editor. Florence Kelly, who will be the next vice-president of the association, unless all rlgns fall, gave advice on how'to handle the managing editor. "Write your edito rial Just about as you want it to appear." she said, "only longer, and lay It on his desk with a deprecatory note to the effect that it Is only raw material, but per haps could be whipped Into an editorial by his able pen. The result will prob ably be that the first time. he Is short on copy he will use it probably beheaded, or with the end cut off or the middle ampu tated. In order that the writer may not forget that there Is an editor but ft will probably appear." Miss Anthony had her little say In the discussion, but said It had been an inn.. since she published the "Revolution" that she had almost forgotten her tactics at mat time, ridding: "Women's mnero nr all right, but it is through the great Gajiies we must convert the world." Plans for reporting parlor meetings were laid, and also for answerinar slrnrvi munications and ouestions in th "innin'. columns." Dr. Shaw maintaining in her rcaoy wit mat me people were Just as mucn entitled to learn throusrh thpno i umns in what states women eouM vntn nc to what was the best face powder to make one beautiful or what were the last worcs 01 txjniucius. Kate Alexander, as sociate editor of the Columbus tn Pr.c Post, considered the exchange itnV tY department of a paper which required most careful nursing if suffrage was to be Kept In news columns. Suffrage Gains Foothold. As an Illustration of the foothold the suffrage question had gained In the coun trr and of the seriousness with -which it was now accepted as compared with Its pioneer days, articles wnich appeared in The Oregonlan on the occasion of the first national convention ana inose or tne pres ent were read by Mrs. Harper, who after ward recommended that erery delegate have The Oregonlan sent to the home editors during the session of the conven tion. The large attendance at the morning ses sion indicated plainly that the delegates were attending strictly to business and would do their sightseeing after the con vention adjourned. Enthusiasm over Portland is so general that It Is more ihan probable that all will remain to do the Exposition after the 5th. Miss Anthony was in her place bright and was in her usual good health and spirits. Reports from Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts. Minnesota. Missouri, Ne braska, New Hampshire. New Jersey and Vermont were heard through their state presidents, those reports representing not only a wide range of interests and an enormous amount of activity, but many of them astonishing results. There can be no doubt that the officers of the State Woman Suffrage Associations have a com prehensive grasp of social and political conditions as they affect the movement for political equality. All of the states which reported showed an Increase In members, Kansas having more than quad rupled her membership, and It was con sidered significant that woman suffrage is so popular In the only state where women have municipal suffrage. .Minnesota's -Xcw Law. Minnesota reported the enactment of a law making mothers co-guardians with fathers of their minor children, making the 13th state to enact such legislation; Kentucky reported the addition of a de partment of domestic science to Tier state university: Nebraska her effort to secure a women s property rights bill. Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt reported for the lit erature committee and Miss Hauser sup plemented this report with remarks on the distribution of literature. A discus sion on the advisability of women suff ragists joining and participating in the work of nonsuffrage clubs was the most spirited feature of the Fesslon. A dis cussion participated in by such women as Mrs. Catt, Catherine Waugh McCulloch. Florence Kellvand Charlotte PerklnB Gil- man could hardly fail to be of exceptional interest, but It is not only these leaders who speak readily and well on any ques tion brought befor the convention, as A irroup ot wafTraglstK of National reputation who attended Mrs. MynV reception at the there are many delegates whose names are scarcely known outside their own states who would be a credit to any plat form. Speakers of Evening:. j Bach programme given by the conven tion -seems to outshine the previous one. but last night's was taken up by such brilliant speakers that 1 is generally con ceded to be the best given so far. Ella Stewart, of Illinois; Mary J. Coggeshall. of Iowa; Gall Laughlln, of Maine, and Rev. Antoinette Brown Blackwell. made a quartet which carried the audience by storm, and added to their triumph was the satisfaction of hearing one of Ore gon's most prominent legal lights. Judge Stephen A. Lowell, of Pendleton, express his strong advocacy and demand for equal rights for -women in this and all other states. Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt. vice president of the National Association, pre sided over the night session and intro duced the speakers with aphorisms which made the audience eager for their speeches, and they were not disappointed when they heard them. Ella S. Stewart Is the wife of a member of the Illinois Legislature, and if he is as good a politician and speaker as she, the suffragists want him In their ranks. Takes Ministers as Example. Mrs. Stewart, in her 15 minutes' talk on "representation," supposed the case of tho disfranchisement of ministers, and ap plied to the case every argument which is now used against tho enfranchisement of women. The absurdity of the case made the stock objections to equal rights for ( women seem decidedly weak. Mrs. Mary J. Coggeshall, who came, as she expressed it, "from tho very spot where God stood when he said iet there ba light' Iowa." brought " a word from the Middle "West." The message was foreboding to machine politicians who are against equal representation. "The women of the Middle "West have decided to have equal suffrage." she said, "if they have to bear and raise the men to vote it and this method is In active process at the present time. I myself have three sons, who represent 18 feet of equal suf frage, and others have more than that." "Let a woman have a vision of duty," she concluded, after an impromptu which scin tillated with wit. "and she will rise up early and lid down late: the women of the Middle West conceive it their duty to take up the burdens of state, and they will do It, If wo take what the gods pro vide, it Is not in our star but in oursclve.-t that the fault lies If we continue to be underlings." Mrs. Cogeshall Is a wom an of advanced years, with snow-white hajr, and her demure face gives no indi cation of the brilliant repartee and sharp argument of which she is capable. Dr. Blackwell's Speech. "Rev. Antoinette Brown Blackwell. tho first woman minister the world ever knew, who at the advanced age of Si years retains her health and Intellec tuality, addressed the convention on "Suf frage and Education" While this revered woman's Hto work has not been exactly along the lines of suffrage, she Is an ar dent advocate of the movement and uses her gift of eloquence to proclaim it to the world. She emphatically declared that there was no sane reason why a woman should not be the Mayor of a city, the Governor of a state or the President of the country, notwithstanding that she would use her mother dominance In public as well as private life. "My grandmother taught me to spin when I was young, but our brothers have taken that burden from womcnklnd, and as they have taken so many burdens off our hands It is our duty to help relieve them of some of their burdens of state." In the eloquence of Gal! Laughlln the 'suffrage cause has a bell which rings true and clear. Her arguments are the straight, convincing kind that lea-e notHmg for the other fellow to say. She comes to Oregon a lawyer of New York who ii proudly boasted of, and Justly, by her fellow-workers as the woman who carried off the oratorical honors -of Cornell and won for that Institution the championship in intercollegiate debating contests. She has a voice which is a great factor in her platform successes, but It is what she says that has won for her recognition from the most able orators of the coun try. I"or a Square Deal. In asking for a "Squareu-Deal," Miss Laughlln said: . " A square deal for every man. These words of President Roosevelt were more discussed during our last Presidential campaign than was any party platform plank. The growing prominence of the doctrine of a square deal- is of vital sig nificance to us who stand for equal suf frage, for wo ask only Tot a square deal. The doctrine of a square deal has been Invoked chiefly against trusts. We In voke the doctrine of a square deal against the greatest trust In the world the po litical trust, the trust which Is the most absolute monopoly because entrenched in law Itself and because it is a monopoly of the greatest thing in the world,- a monopoly of liberty itself. "The exclusion of women from partici pation in governmental affairs means the going to waste of a great force, which, if utilized, would be a great power in tho advance of civilization. The United States census figures show a tremendous ad vance in population and in the amount of capital Invested In both manufacturing and in farm property. Something More Valuable. "But there depends on the success of the equal suffrage movement something more valuable even than National pros perity, and that is the preservation of human Jiberty. As In 1660. the nation cannot remain half slave and half free, and either women must be made free or men will lose the liberty which they en joy. As In 1850, freedom will win and the aim and object of this association Is to bring the day when the daughters of the land will share equally with the sons in the priceless inheritance of liberty." Services for Today. The convention services of today will be held at the First Congregational , PROMINENT WOMAN Church at 4 o'clock, conducted by Rev. Eleanor Gordon, assisted by Rev. Anna II. Shaw and ReV. E1I7.R Tupper Wilkes. The sermon will be preaclted by Mrs. Gordon, and Mrs. W. A. Wetzel, of Salt Lake, will sing. Other prominent min isters and speakers of the suffrage con vention will occupy pulpits of various churches today, but to supply the de mands of this kind which have been made upon them would take a greater number than Portland Is at present en tertaining. Charlotte Perkins GUman will preach at the First Congregational In the morning and Rev. Antoinette Brown Blackwell at the night service. Mrs. GUman is one of the most elo quent women of today and is a member of the-.famous Beecher family. At the White Temple Miss Susan B. Anthony -will make a short address In the even ing. Miss Lnura Clay, a niece of Henry Clay, will oocupy the pulpit of the Taylor-Street Methodist in. the evening, and Rev. Eleanor Gordon that of the First Unitarian in the morning. The officials of the National conven tion wish to correct an Impression which seems to be current Uiat the sessions of the convention are not open to the public Men and women both are welcome at all times, and an empty ADMISSIONS. 17,151. I Testerday was the biggest day of the j week at the Exposition, there being 1 17,154 admission. seat at these sessions Is usually an un known quantity. The women who are discussing these subjects want non sympathizers to hear them, so it is not necessary to be in favor of equal suf frage to gain admittance to the First Congregational Church, where the con vention is meeting, morning, afternoon and evening. The vocal solo of Mrs. Susie Gamble Whltehurst was one of the pleasant features of last night's programme. Dr. Brougher pronounced the invocation. Elects Its OiTIcers. The last meeting for this season of the Home, Training Association was held yes terday and new officers elected. A review of the year's work proved most satisfac tory and the interest which has been maintained by all concerned Is considered unusual. The new officers are: Mrs. Samuel Connell. president; Mrs. C. E. Clement, first vice-president; Mrs. J. L. Kingsbury, second vice-president; Mrs. R. L. Donald, secretary: Mrs. R. E. Brls tow. treasurer; Mrs. A. II. Lomax. li brarian; members from body at large to serve with executive board. Mrs. R. H. Tate and Mrs. Pelton-Reld. Expressions of appreciation to the many professional people of th city who have addressed the association during -Its first year were made, and an adjournment made until September. Wants Husband Arrested. Because of a family quarrel. Mrs. Fan nie Seltzer, wife of J. Seltzer, a tailor at Fourth and Couch streets, wants her husband arrested, claiming that he has decamped with a trunk containing 5300 and otlier household goods of value. Mrs. Seltzer thinks that her husband has left the city and taken the family valuables with him. Horse Breaks Ankle. Dr. George H. Trowbridge, while en deavoring to quiet his horse last night, was kicked In the ankle, which was broken. He was taken to St. Vincent's Hospital, where the bon was set. He will be able to leave the hospital in a few dajs. Aviiiie shun Consolidation of Clerks' Of ficer Economical. NO LONGER ANY DEFICIT Instead a Handsome Snrplus Is Shown In the Report of County Clerk Fields as a Result. That consolidation of three county offices In that of County Clerk Is sav- ! ing the county many thousands of dol- i lars. Is the evidence contained in a statistical report rendered yesterday by County Clerk Fields to the County Court. The report shows that the re ceipts of the office of County Clerk for the fiscal year ending June 30 nf this year were 79 per cent larger than for the fiscal year ending June 30. 1902. before consolidation of the offices of j Clerk of the Circuit Court. Clerk of j the County Court and Recorder of Con- veyances. The expenditures of the j cnnsouuaica oincc oi v-ierK ior inc uscni year Just ended were 45 per cent less than for the other period, and only half as much money was paid out In sal aries. This big saving has beea effected in finite of the facttiuvt the business of the three offices has practically doubled since they were united. The report shows.' further, that tho office is now yielding a handsome revenue to the SUFFRAGISTS AT THE LEWIS Fair Friday.
