work in the appeal of the 10-hour" law

that the arguments In the brief which
Was prepared by Mr. Haney, were well
founded and clearly stated, la evidenced
by their being quoted in the decision.
We ara proud of you, Mr. Haney, and
we have not forgotten that your brief

TIEN reasons are cited why .woman
t suffrage should not prevail in
Oregon, as follows: ,
fd i Because suffrage is to be regarded
IT-.-. a nrlvllevA tO hS enlOVBlf hilt aa
a duty to be performed.
i 2 Because hitherto the women of
this state have enjoyed exemption from
bls burdensome duty and no adequate
reason has been assigned for depriving
them or tnai immunity. J
8Because conferring suffrage upon
the " women who claim it would impose
suffrage upon the many women who
neither desire it as a privilege .nor re
gard It their duty to seek it
Z- 4 Because the need of America Is
not an Increased quantitybut an im

Number seven Implies that the antl
have. had a "special revelation" on the
"dut es and life of men and women.
Special i revelations In these days have
come to tho Mormons, the Oowleltes,
the Holy Rollers snd such Ilk. Must
we add thereto the antl-suffrsglsts? Wo
hope the r mm mar of ststement num
ber seven does not indicate the quality
of the revelation. Now that is Just
little bit of spite, snd should affect the
revelation in no serious degree. 8o the
lives of men and women are "divinely
ordered." A sain de we see how hope
lessly la-norant of the economic history
or the race are our anu sisters.
Do thev not know, or do mey ignore
tha economic factor In the development
of the human being. Let us try to be
lieve that they do not know. It la less
of a crime than it would oe lr mey
knew and ignored. . ...
In number eight they tell us aenn-
erately that they will not help to bear
the burden of their sisters who have no
home of those who must earn their
own living of those who have fallen
by the' wayside; the selfishness of it all
Is heartbreaking.
With the help of these women many
of whom are prominent in financial and
social circles whose husbands are
prominent politically, how much more
could be done to ease the yoke of the
working women, to lift the" burden of,
the. fallen, to change the life of the
work in a- child these antla will answer I
and say that they help now but all the
legislation secured for women and
children through the efforts of women,

Florence Kelley snd Jane Addams. for

laws for working women and children
have been captained by the clubwomen
who are auTfraa-iata. T.nok thrnush the
