WOMAN'S SUf FR4GE IN OREGON. Judges Decided That the Women Should be Allowed to -Vote." The Amicitians and Jefiersonians. on last Monday night met in a debate upon tbe question, Resolved, "That tbe privi lege of suffrage be granted to the women of Oregon." The J effersonians " debated tbe affirmative and gained the decision unanimously. They were represented by R. R Selleck, A. S. Hall and .Guy E. Moore. Tbe Amicitians were represent ed by D. Hirstele, IE C. Brodie, and A. S. Wells. The house was well filled and all gave good attention to the .speakers, who were all well posted on their sub ject. " ,- - ' -- - - - Selleck spoke first and said that since tbe time . of .Reman power a gradual reformation has been taking place - and everv nation as it advances in civiliza tion has honored woman more and more, and that as women demand more they get more. Tnea thev gave three reasons why we should have woman suffrage: 1, Justice and equity demand it. 2. It has proved successful where it has been ttied. 3. We need it in order that women may take more interest in the affairs of government, thus enabling them to train their sons to be better citizens. They said that we must base all our arguments as to the utility of such a move on the results of trials along this line. They argued that more principle was needed in our political affairs than exists at present and that where women have been given the right to vote -more prjn- ple has entered in.. It was also shown that if she were given the ballot she would possess moral and mental advantage which are now im possible of attainment, and how unjust it is that the prisoner, the tramp and the pauper should be allowed to vote when a good, pure-minded woman who is much more capable should be excluded. The same law hangs a woman that hangs a man, therefore, they said she should be allowed the same right to make the laws. And if her sphere is the home she should be allowed to help improve the environment of her children. The negative then said that Oregon did not want suffrage for women for she had twice voted it don and ... the Anti- Woman's Suffrage League ' is "stronger than the Woman's -Suffrage . League. That in Wyoming and Colorado things were not bettered. They said that if woman would use tbe ballot box better than men they would have shown it in the past by rearing better sons. Thev will either vote like their male relatives or unlike them. If they vote like them they will simply multiply the vote, if unlike it will cause endless domestic trouble. Men secured the right of suf frage by force and women cannot. They said that in woman suffrage states the saloon is still licensed. Thev argued that if women are to vote they must have office, too. And the ques tion was asked, "Will a woman who makes a mess of domestic duties straigh ten out civil affairs?" At last it was suggested that if the highest and best women of the land are given po wer to vote so are the lowest and vilest. There is one more debate to decide the society entitled to the Gatchcup. The final debate is betw.een the Feronians and Jeffersonians and the winner will be declared the best debating society in the College. The date for the final contest will be in June.
