1 am glad that the Daughters of the
Confederacy, who have so long taken
nriile in paying tribute to their father’J
bravery, loyalty and devotion, have
como to give at least one day in thd
year to the Mothers of tho Confederacy,
for after all, tho mothers are the brav
est soldiers on life’s bnttlo field.
"The bravest battles that were efiror
fought,
Do you ask mo, where and when?
On the maps of the world you will find
thorn not,
They wero fought by tlio mothers of
men.”
Tn tho days of greatest tribulations no
truer hearts enshrined the cause of tho
South, no pujor patriots boro its flag,
and no braver martyrs endured its priva-
(ions than our mothers; they suffered
ilie bittorest ordeals, they endured the
:r mtost want without bitterness and
without complaint. Throughout tho en-
t i 10 Southland (‘ Cornelia pledged her
le vels, Dorcas plied her noodle, Miriam
rang her battle hymn, and Mary watch
ed while Martha served.” And it was
inrnig these days that tried women’s,
• is well ns men’s souls, that Mrs. W. H.
I’elton cultivated those traits of charac
ter, of mind and of will that accounts
lor her unusual and wonderful career,
T lake pleasure, today, in paying
I ibuto to a contemporary of my own
mother, because there is a tendency on
the part of a great many people to feel
that the women of today have ventured
o far afield, baro left so many of the
traditions nnd lilenis of our mothers be
hind us that there is between the moth
ers of the sixties and thoir daughters
and grand daughters a great chasm fix,
ed—that we are citizens of a different
world, .almost a different specie. Tf
this be your attitude then let mo point
cut. to you “the missing link,” the wo
man of our own State, who has had the
wisdom, the courage and the will to
combine in her life tho ideals of two,
or rat.licr three generations, nnd has
lived intensely in all these periods
through which she has passed in her
long life.
Not since gay courtesies ceased to
swing their plumed lints through the air
and to lav their velvet coats to make
li'.v walking for their queens has there
been a more graceful compliment paid
lo manhood than Governor Hardwick
paid in appointing Mrs. Felton to the
I uited States Senate. Whatever his
motive may have been—and what you
think it was depends oil whether you
were his friend or opponent, by a sim
ple stroke of the pen lie did for the
women of the South what-no electrorn' )
is expected to do in the next decade, if
over. And to me it seems very fitting
Mint this compliment should have been
paid to a woman of tho old school rnth-
t than to a woman of this generation,
‘ a “new woman” as our brothers per
sist in calling us, although I insist that
the characteristics nnd qualifications of
true womanhood are neither old ot
(W, but eternal.
In coming out from tho dim nnd sto
i led past, when women were supposed
to “bake and brew” only, and donning
•he Senatorial toga Mrs. Felton is the
link that joins the two generations and
, lands ns tho ultimate triumph of fem
inism—proof positivo that a sane and
wholesome interest in politics .and
statecraft need not unfit a woman for
1: • highest nnd noblest duty of wo
manhood—tlmt of being n mother.
Mrs. Folton I am told was n wife and
mother first nnd foremost, and her
(Statesmanship was simply a side-line,
although in pursuing it as a side-line slu
lias gone further than most men, who
pursue is ns a profession, "will evor go.
Mrs. Folton was born during the sec
ond administatiou of Andrew Jackson,
and the first memories of tlio Tugged
and virile pioneers of the day must
have gone far in shaping her mind and
character, for she lias certainly been a
itrong typo of pioneer. She was ono
yf the earliest advocates of political
advancement, for women, nnd in 188G
stumped the Stato in the interest 1
of prohibition. Tlicro was certainly a
long bard trail to be blazed loading to
the then wild dream of the '.Eighteenth
and Nineteenth Amendments. For fifty
•cars she has taken an active interest
in politics. The law did not. then per
mit women to hold office, but she has
■Hide a good many political careers, nnd
no doubt mnrrod others. It is a well
recognized fact that most of tlic poli
ticians of tlio Stato bad a wholesome
fear of her voluminous scrap-book, and
her sarcastic /pen, when thoy were'
tempted to change base on an issue.
Tiro thoughts^ of age as well as youth
are long, long thoughts—only the dircc-
•ion is different.
No one can toll more graphically than
Mrs. Felton of tho hardships of the
••ivil war period when she and her
children—four in number, if I remem
ber correctly—were refugees’ to escape
tho dangers and perils of actual war
fare It was during the stirring days
just prior to the war when the public
»-en or the South wore intellectual
giants and roal statesmen that lior mind
must have reached a wonderful stimu
lus nlong the line of politics, and during
those terriblo days following that
might well be called the “reign of
(error” she must first have realized
(lie importance of an intelligent citi
zen ry ninde up of both men and women.
And do we not wonder that *ticr strong
virilo mind refused to be fettered or to
recognize any boundary of sex.
With the triumph of Mrs. Folton, a
woman of eighty-throe taking her sont
in tho halls of tho Senate women liava
arrived. Thoy will never again bo re
garded as an incidental element of
mankind. As civilization advances it
will bo harder to indicate women as rep
resenting ono of the minor appoint
ments of life, harder to think of them
as a creature group or even to think
of them as n “great institution” as
the Mid-Victorinn type of man still
says. They have smashed all tradi
tions of place; they have over run the
forbidden industries nnd professions,
they now occupy judgeships, and in fact
I fill nil places they have been considered
unfitted to fill, and best of ail a con
temporary of mothers—no twentieth
century product or half baked feminist,
but a true and loyal daughter of the
South has taken her soat with our law
makers, and let us listen to her gentle
voice freighted with the wisdom of
her eighty years as sheysays:
a A strong nation is dependent upon
her women, and the manner in which
women of this conutrv grasp their op
portunities will decide most of the
great issues of the future.”
