For thirty-nine years the woman suf.
fraglsts have been going before our na
tional lawmakers and asking that wom
en be given a voice In making laws by
which they must abide, and a hand In
the election of officials whom they are
obliged to support with their tax
money.
According to the political status of
women In Georgia today It would aeom
that very little prngreai has been made
In these thirty-nine years. However,
when we look beyond the borders of
Georgia we must admit that our state
Is one of the few that has made little
progress In this movement.
In four Western states we And wom
en invested with full political rights,
with which In one state, Wyoming, they
have been Invested since 1889. So
journers In this state will And that
these women who have been voting for
almost forty years have loat none of
their womanliness, are os good wives,
mothers and housekeepers as are to be
found In our country.
In these Western states the results
of woman suffrage have proved to be;
better legislation on all questions In
volving the welfare of children,
splendid system of public echools and
last, but nut least, equal pay for equal
work.
In twenty-eight statea of the Union
women enjoy some form of suffrage—
tax-paying, school or municipal. Among
these twenty-eight states are Kentucky,
where women have school suffrage, and
Louisiana, where women vote on all
questions submitted to tax-payers.
These Southern women hare disproved
the assertion often mode that South
ern women, If given the ballot, would
not go to the polls and vote. Several
years ago, In New Orleans, when, the
question arose of levying an additional
ta% for the purpose of Installing a new
sewerage system In that city, the
measure met with much opposition,
but the women realising the menace to
life and health that lay In the open
sewers, went to the polls and voted
solidly for the additional tax and car
ried the day.
Now. New Orleans points with pr
to her Improved sanitary condition.
Representative Davey, author of the
woman suffrage bill In congress, Is -
Louisiana man. ,,
This'movement of woman suffrage la
world-wide. In European countries we
And women Aghtlng determinedly for
the ballot, and they have won some
form of suffrage In France, Scotland
and Ireland.
In England women vote In all elec
tions except those for members
llament. Finland, Iceland and
wonderful countries of the South seas,
New Zealand and Australia, have given
women equal rights with men.
Women have found that politics has
Invaded the home and permeates our
evsry-day life, and that no women hav
ing the welfare and comfort of her
home and family at heart ran afford to
be Indifferent to state and city affairs.
The Federation of Women’s Clubs
has In several dtlea taken up civic
work, working to beautify school
grounds, parks, etc, lo have belter
sanitary conditions In the homes, bust,
ness houses and factories, to have
cleaner streets and purer air.
The State Federation has also gons
on record as being In favor of women
serving on school boards, and will urge
this reform all over the state.
Mra. Sarah Platt Decker, president of
the General Federation or Women'a
Clubs, Is a strang suffragist, havli
cently made ringing'speeches In favor
of the enfranchisement of women.
Some Idea of the growth of suffrage
sentiment may be had when we And
that more than Si* organisations, not
suffrage societies, have officially In
dorsed woman suffrage.
In 1*08 the American Federation of
Labor adopted resolutions pledging
themselves to support woman suffrage
and In the same year the National
Grange took similar action.
The International Council of Women,
representing twenty countries and over
six million women have also gone on
record as being tn favor of political
equality for women.
