SUFFRAGE OPPOSITION ~
Any serious effort to muddle the
equal suffrage issue in Georgia with
the negro vote is a thrust at the in
telligence of those who may exercise
the ballot. Georgia women will
not believe that their right to
vote is hinging on a disposition of the
negro. If Georgia had not years ago
disposed of the colored man in this
respect, it might raise some doubt
when men high up say what they are
saying about it now. But not one of
them believes what he says about it
when he asserts that to extend the
right of the ballot to white women
would imperil .lhe whole white suf
frage system. That isn't so,—not one
word of it, and nobody with a particle
of intelligence believes it. j
The vindictive element in the Geor
gia legislature is trying now to force
a vote on the suffrage amendment,
with a hoast that it will be lost,—and
the vote is going to be demanded to
make sure that it is lost. This can do
nothing more than put Georgia on the
black list of shameless opponents.
This vindictive vote will never hurt
the cause of suffrage. But Georgia
will go down in history as opposed and
her record will be made at this time.
Woman suffrage is a coming proposi
tion. Nothing hardheaded, narrow,
arbitrary politicians can do in At
lanta can stop the suffrage movement
and it is going to be run bodily over
these ‘‘states rights” devotees.
Those who champion the opposition
are doing it solely for notoriety. If
Jackson, at all could not get their
names in the papers of Atlanta in con
nection with the opposition, there
would be little opposition.
Georgia is going to regret what she |
is permitting these “phillies” to pull.
down in the way of opposition to suf
frage for women. To be made to admit
it is worse than to run rough shod
over the fond traditions of states
rights. We ran roughly over states
rights when we wanted prohibition.
We would be as willing to do so for
suffrage if we were out from under the
spell of the “bean heads” in the le
gislature.
Within less than a year we are go
ing to be pulled head-long into voting
liberties for women. That {hing is
coming. Thirty-six states are going to
send it over just as fast as they huvv|
time to get their legislatures together|
and pass on it. Georgia oppositiont
glated the other day over a Texas
defeat for woman suffrage. Before
they got cool, the legislature adopted
the Susan B. Anthony amendment and
into the ranks Texas went. Texas is
but an average southern state. The
antis have long counted strong on;
Texas to help defeat suffrage. llut‘
Texas has already joined the right
side of it. Georgia will never be :11)101
to boast of her opposition, and the!
day she casts her vote against it, that
day will she make history for herself
that will never be proudly referred
to by her citizenship. Let the vindic
tives bring up the amendment and
smash it: In less than a year the
vindictives will not want to own their
part in it. Woman suffrage in Georgia
and throughcut the United States is
as sure as daylight. A man who can
not see it has no business represent-
ing anything in the Georgia legisla
ture. A man who does not favor it,
has no business representing anybody
or any interest in a free country like
ours, He is more nearly fit for the
Dark Ages.
, WHOSE OEITUARY? ~
i The new treaty with France,
by which that nation is promised
, American aid in case of an un
‘ provoked attack by Germany,
was described as ‘“the premature
obituary of the League of Nations
as a league of peace,” in a state
ment issued last night by Senator
Borah, republican, Idaho. e
The senator also charged that the
promise was made by President
Wilson, to purchase French sup
port for the league plan.
The civilized nations of the world
are making history today more im
portant than any that has ever tran
spired. Three of the world’'s greatest
statesmen have in the past six months
held in their hands the destinies of
all the people liberated in the battles
for freedom in which France, England
and America stood as one against the
enemy of that political liberty.
President Wilson is one of the three
men. He went away imbued with the
hope of sealing the liberties of those
peoples for all time. He went away
bent on stamping out the kind of
fnilitarism manifested in those lead
ers who sent Germany on her ramp
age of war and bloodshed against in
nocent people. He aimed to destroy
German imperialism. He sought a
moral victory with which to back up
our brave fighting man in their sup
pression of the fighting forces of
Germany. And he sought an eternal
end of wars! Why should he not?
The world had been set free.
That gix months in the peace con
ference in Paris has a meaning un
like anything Senator Borah has yet
offered the public. It has a meaning
for the civilized world unlike any-
thing Senator Borah could offer.
There will be an obituary some day
‘rright soon, but—
Let us modestly suggest that since
all things pass away, this obituary may
’r(-,present the laying away of
\thnse fondest hopes of Senator Borah
that he and his friends may be able
!tu destroy what the peace conference
is offering the word as a solution to
the great disruption of empires. It
may be the obituary of Senator Borah
as a statesmen. If it is, the world will
say of him when he is gone, “He
never measured up to the occasion.”
That's the obituary as we see it.
The peace treaty is not offered the
enlightened world in the silly vain
wlory of a boasting, bigoted blow hard,
as Senator Borah would have you
believe. The league covenant did not
have to buy the support of. I«‘rance.{
That nation would shed its last drop
of fighting blood defending its tenets,
for they are life and liberty to all
France as they are to the other great
powers who comprise its membership.
The president is not coming home
to boast about what he has done. He]
is coming to ask the people of the
United States to approve a World
Constitution that is made necessary
by invention and intercommunication,
to check all future wars. He is com
ing to ask the people to endorse a
free government for each liberated p€o
ple in France and to stand by thaten
dorsement. He comes to ask us to put
the stamp of approval an the allied
acts which sent Germap imperialism
to its doom,~—German militarism to
an eternal oblivion. Soon he will be
gin to tell the people of the United
States the meaning of all this work in
Europe.
We hope when that explanation
comes it will unfold to all of us a
just disposition of the problems
arising out of the world war. We hope
that explanation will reveal a fitting
finale to our battles for freedom in
Europe, for the principles of liberty
which we have cherished through the
centuries Somehow we have bright
hopes of his coming.
ANNA HOWARD SHAW
Dr. Anna Howard Shaw came from
England to this country, an unknown
pioneer girl of four years and through
her own efforts eventually Lecame the
President of the National Wiomen's
Suffrage Association. In her girlhood
she lived with her parent’s immi
grant family in a Michigan wilder
’ness forty miles from a postoffice and
a hundred miles from a railroad,
star‘ing hier» corer as a shool teach
er who walred cight miles o day and
received four dellars a week. ler
home was a poverty stricken log
cabin built by her father who was
compelled to leave his wife and chil
dren at the mercy of Indians and wild
animals while he earned a living for
them.
From her Michizan home, Dr. Shaw
went to live with one of her married
’sléters in a northern town. After
studying at Albion Collegg from 1872
to 1875, she was graduated from the
T“Boston School of Theology in 1878
‘paying her way through school and
cillege by preaching and lecturing.
‘She suffered extreme poverty during
Ithis period living in an attic in Bos
ton. On account of her sex she was
refused ordination by the New Eng
land Conference and by the General
Conference of the Methodist Episco
pal Church, but in the same year
had the honor of being the first wo
man ordained by the Methodist Pro
testant Church. In her struggles to be
come a minister she fought against
ridicule, dissension and lack of the
barest necessities.
After seven years service as
preacher to a small flock at East
Dennis, Mass., Dr. Shaw resigned from
the pulpit to take up the fight for
temperance, for suffrage and for so
cial purity. Her association through
her preaching, with such prominent
women as Mary A. Livermore and
and Julia Ward Howe enlarged her
view of life and aroused enthusiasm
for the cause of suffrage and liberty.
Dr. Shaw first became a lecturer
for the Massachusetts Woman’s Suf
frage Association, and from 1886 to
1892 was naticnal superintendent of
franchise. On the resignation of Dr.
Shaw’s most intimate friend Miss
Susan B. Anthony in 1900, the Pre
sidency of the National Women’s Suf
frage Association rested hetween Dr.
Shaw end Mrs. Coerrie B. Chaprean,
whom Miss Anthony finally chose as
the more exnerenced, while Dr. Shaw
was made Vice-President-at-large.
However in 1904 Mrs. Chapman was
compelled to resign on account of ill
health, and Dr. Shaw succeeded her
as }‘wsident()f thé‘ 'Nv'zltimml Associa
tion from 1904 to 1915.
. Her administration was marked
with unprecedented progress. The
number of suffrage workers in-‘
creased from 17,000 to 200,000; one‘
‘cumpaign in ten years was placed‘
}by ten in one year; the expendituresi
of the Association increase from
$15,000 to $50,000 annually; the numf
ber of states with full suffrage grewj
from four to twelve while the whole‘
suffrage movement changed from an
academic stage to a vital political
force arousing the attention of the
entire nation. : |
The year 1912 was the banner year
for Dr. Shaw and the cause, when
Arizona, Kansas and Oregon received
fudd suffrage. During this year Dr.
Shaw spoke in the principal ctities in
each of these states making four or
five speeches a day and traveling in
any sort of conveyance from freight
cars to automobiles.
Many times during her earlier
career, Dr. Shaw gave prooof of her
courageous and determined nature.
On one occasion the free religious
group of which she was pastor, wish
ed to give a dance on the night of the
annual church fair, and the intrepid
little preacher was obliged to threaten
the whole congregation with arrest
to maintain her authority. As a coun
try school ceacher, she preached her
first sermon at the suggestion of a
friend rehearsing it to the trees and
stones in advance, ?
While in Boston Dr. Shaw reached
the point where she had not a cent
of money nor the prospect of earn
ing any. Unexpectedly she was asked
to do a week’s revival work and de
cided that if thsi brought her
enought fer a cheap pair of shoes and
a few days food, she would continue
her course in theology. A shiftless
woodsman was once conducting her
through a northern forest to a town
; where she was to preach and refused
to drive further, whreon the girl
| pulled out a smalled revolver and held
‘it at his ‘back until she reached her
I destination.
Reyavix, the little capital of Ice:
land, is more tkan 3,000 years old.
