nrancnes.
On August 3 the Grants Pass Wo mans
Christian Temperance Union held
an exceptionally interesting and
profitable meeting. Mrs. C. O.
Anient, Superintendent of Franchise
department furuisbed a program
-which consisted of vocal music by
Misses Ella Savage, Lain Lund and
Kittie Loughridge. Recitation by
Mrs. Laura Gonoell. Brief paper bv
Mrs. Whipple1 upon the advisability of
Franchise from a religious stand
point, also one by Mrs. Caldwell
from the standpoint of a mother.
Important questions were discussed
and a farther consideration to be had
at next meeting.
Following is the paper by Mrs.
Weidman opoo the subiet "The
Advisability of Suffrage from an
Educational Standpoint.":
Higher Educational is the very
highest pinnacle to be reached by the
human mind. A person with an am
bition for a higher ednoatlon and the
pottlng forth of that ambition by
unceasing and ondefatTgable efforts
to gain that education is sure to
bring a boot a condition in their
physical as well as their mental and
moral natures whereby as they gain
that that is good and soieutifio in
the same proportion they lose that
which is low and carnal. It is very
seldom that you seo a person when
striving to reach the higher places in
life and to master the greater prob
lems in science, that poisesa low
desires but rather the lower degrees
of life are repulsive to tbem. There
fore in Education we find the fuuda-
mental principles of all that it takes
to make the world better. Oar
Heavenly Father in the creating of
man and woman saw fit to place much
less of the animal nature in the
average woman than he did in man.
Man has the greater power of
strength therefore be takes Jpride in
that strength and enjoys using that
power to weild his little Jsoepter of
authority and that condition will
last until be is educated up to the
point of knowing that while he may
have the greater amount of physical
strength aba has as mach endurance
and a greater amount of eleotioity of
nature than he ' and the time is oer
tainly not far remote when our
brothers will see this more clearly and
woman and man ' will stand ' on the
same level in saying who shall rule
this mighty country of ours and how
it shall be ruled.
"Visit onr schools of t day and you
will find many mrre girls than boys
in our graduating classes. Don't
think for one minute that those girls
are going to sit down and never be
heard from again or that they are
going to sink into oblivion aud all
those years of hard labor and study
be laid on the shelf while tbey at
tend only to the duties of wife and
mother. No, a hundred times, no
it gives thetn the power to stand
equal on all sobjeots with their
husbands and even a prenatal in
flaeooe on the little ones of the home
as well as the greater influence dur
log the growth of the child. Then,
show me why should not that mother
have a rlirlit to say who shoo Id set
the examples before her children in
government, state and munlcipsl
affairs. We hear some one ray
'Oh, it causes divorces and diturn
tlons in families If women vote.' If
we pick np any or the papers we
find there are not a few divorces
now and what is the cause of nine
tenths of them? Can it not be
traced directly to a place where no
Rood woman would allow it to stay
if In her power to get rid of it?
On the divorce question, I will give
as mv authority tiie Hon. Lewis vt.
Cunningham, judge of the First
Judicial District of Colorado. He
id: 'I believe the greatest good
tb at lun so far revolted from equal
snffiage in this state has been quite
indirect; first It has compelled men
to think twice of woman and her
rights where he thought of her not at
all; second, it has compelled womnn
to read and Investigate for herself
The fears that homes would be brokt-n
up aud women become immodest aud
masculine have never been realized;
having had about as large an exper
ience in matters conns- ted with di
vorce litigation since 1H93 as any man
in the state, I am prepared to say
that a divoroe due to political differ
ences is so far an unheard of occur
rence. '
"A great book concern in Denver
once stated that they had sold more
books on political and Social subjects
in the tight months following the
Full Cf lM than they had sold in 20
years before. To question that good
most folio such an awakeuing
would lw treason to our public sc!:ol
system.
''firvaot B. brooks, govtriicr of
I Wyoming says: 'During iny resi
dence of seven and ons-half years
in Wyoming, I have found that the
women I have met have had a vital
interest in all that makes for the best
things in city, coon try or state. This
interest has been expressed in the
quiet, earnest influence which
characterizes the power which good
women wiejd everywhere as well as
at the ballot bos. ' Be also emphasizes
that bad women do not exert an ap
preciable influence in politics, also
that be thoroughly believes that
woman's work for (home, church and
state is niuuh more helpful because of
the broader outlook upon life which
the franohise of necessity gives a
woman. One of the greatest ware
the world has ever known was fought
to the finish and what was the cause?
Taxation without representation.
If tomorrow any lady in this room
was to be left a widow, whether she
be a millionaire or obliged to ;go to
menial labor to support her family,
would she bave right to have a
voioe in saying who should assess
herpropertv as how mach she should
pay? No, she would have a voice in
nothing only walk op and pay what
ever tbey charged, but the penalty
stands out in bold relief if shs don't
pay it, they don't tell her then she
is only a woman and cannot or need
not ; and again, where is the justice
in having some alien from foreign
coasts come here, cannot write his
own name, neither read the ballot
he is about to cast and knows no
more about the politics ot our country
than a parrot, but he has his natural
ization papers and of oourse a right
to vote and votes for the man that
pays bim the nicst for bis vote. It
is humiliating to think snob men are
given superior power over the broad
minded, educated women of today
and that these very women must be
olaased on the voting question with
Idiots and criminals.
'I am persuaded that the ballot in
the hands of women will become a
resistless force for reform when the
great body of women learn to stand
together for what thsy want as does
the liquor traffic and other strong
interests. I believe the time will
oome when all good women win
realise that the franchise is com
paratively nseless If it shall uot pro
tect their own beloved. I look for
ward to the day when the white ballot
Of consecrated womanhood shall
snow under the legalised saloon and
home and childhood sheltered behind
strong dykes of law shall develop
olvio righteousness worthy of onr
matchless resources and worthy the
solemn graudeur of our everlasting
hills.

DIES FROM STARVATION
TOO PROVD TO HKO EDWARD LA.
VKLLE GOES WITHOUT FOOD
AND SHELTER,
Chlco, Cal., Aug. 21. With the
finding of the body ot Edward La
velle In a field near Nord a tale ot
starvation seldom equaled at a time
when there is abundance ot work
everywhere and when the Golden
State is enjoying nothing but pros
perity was unfolded. When Lavelle
was found local officers went out to
the field to bring the sick man home,
but when the rig waa near the city
he gasped for breath and fell over in
the rig dead.
Lavelle's home is In San Mateo
and be came here several days ago
to find work. His funds gave out,
and, being too proud to ask for as
sistance, he went to the field to
sleep. Four days and nights he went
without food and on the last was
unable to rise In the morning. Pass
ersby saw his condition, but it waa
too late. His remains will be
shipped to San Mateo.
