THE EVENING STAR, MONDAY, JANUARY: 27, 1896-TWELVE PAGES. THE SUFFRAGISTS Proceedings at the Sessions of the Convention Today. INTERESTING REPORTS SUBMITTED A Memorial Service Commemorating Deceased Workers. WILL ADJOURN TOMORROW The convention of the National American Woman Suffrage Association got to work bright and early this morning, for, as an adjournment will probably be reached by tomorrow evening, the convention finds it- self still with a good deal of business to be gone through with. An afternoon session was held for the election of officers and action upon resolu- tions, but a recess was taken at 2:30 to en- able the members of the convention to at- tend a reception given by Mrs. John R. McLean, when they had an opportunity to meet Mrs. Grant on the occasion of her seventieth birthday. The first business of the morning after prayer and the reading of the minutes was the report of the chairman of the commit- tee on railroads, Miss Mollie G. Hay, and she was given a rising vote of thanks as an expression of the feeling entertained for her by the delegates for her services in securing reduced rates and other advan- tages. The Presidential Suffrage Committee. Mr. Henry B. Blackwell of Massachusetts made an oral report for the presidential suffrage committee. He explained at length the meaning of the constitutigqnal clause bearing upon presidential elections, especially in so far as it pertains to women. He urged upon the women of the asso- ciation to send a brief petition every ses- sion to their state legislatures, asking that the right of presidential suffrage be ex- Virginia D. Young. tended to them. In his opinion the signs of the times warranted him in prophesying that in some of the states at least women will have the chance of voting in the presi- dential election of 1900. Following Mr. Rlackwell several of the delegates made informal reports of what had been done in this line during the past year in their respective states. One of the strongest arguments against giving the right of suffrage to women, it was pointed out, was made out of the claim that women as a rule do not exercise the right to vote for school officers, etc., wherever they possess it. This claim, they said, was not well founded, but even so, it was urged that women should take the fullest ad- vantage of their opportunities and prevent the men politicians from making use of this argument. The Legislative Committee. Mrs. Lillie Devereux Blake reported for the legislative committee, giving a number of valuable hints and suggestions to the delegates on the matter of conducting cam- paigns against state legislatures in the bat- tle for suffrage. She argued that suffrage societies can accomplish most when they are organized along political lines. Mrs. Blake supplemented her report with @ paper entitled “Legislative Advice,” say- ing, in part: “At the annual meeting of the Nationa: American Woman Suffrage Association, held at Atlanta, Ga., in February, 1805, 1 committee on legislative advice was ap- pointed. This committee was formed for the purpose of giving information as to the Mrs. Laura M. Johns. best methods of conducting legislative paigns, advising how to secure the pass.ze of laws, and suggesting measures whicl may be pushed for the benefit of women Each member of the committee has hac legislative experience, and, after consulta tion, they offer the following plan of work “Those who have never conducted a leg- islative campaign are prone to think tha the efforts should begin as soon as the legislature convenes; while, to secure suc cess, the work should be half done by tl:a: time. Every woman who fs interested in such a campaign should begin her labo months before the election, by ascertaiafi who will be the probable candidates o both parties, seeing these men, and obtain ing from them pledges of support. When c man is willing thus to ald the cause, every effort must be made to secure, first, nomination, and then his election. At ti nominating conventions of all parties dele. gations of women should urge the naming of their candidates and the passage of reso. lutions favoring woman’ suffrage. Wher the campaign has really begun, public meet ings must be held and documents distrib uted in the interest of their chosen candi dates. Nothing will so speedily bring aby: women's enfranchisement as the proof that we already possess political influence, and willl use it for our friends. “When the legislature assembles, the strorgest man in the party which has a majority in the body must be chosen to pre- sent the proposed law. If the republicans ave a majority, the leading republican must be asked to champion the cause; if the democrats are in the majority, the leading democrat. The bill should be carefully drawa by some good lawyer wuu is 1... with legislative usage. In order to secur succes it fs essential that there be some on: at the capitol in charge of the measure, als @ committee of women of judgment anc discretion either there continuously or fu- some days of each week. “After the bill has passed both houses arn’ is before the governor for signature, atten- tion must be given to securing his favorabl: acticn; influential men must be asked to sec him in behalf of the measure, and every Teeans used to secure this final success. Some Laws Needed. “In a state where there is hope of suppor from the political parties, where there has been long agitation and everything points tc a favorable result, it is wise to urge a con- stitutional amendment striking out the word ‘male’ as e@ qualification for voters. Thi: must pass both houses in the form of a coz current resolution and does not require th. governor's signature. In some states it mus. two successive legislatures; and |.most states it must be ratified at the poli: by a majority of voters. “When the conditions are not yet ripe fo: a constitutional amendment, there are man: measures which are valuable in arousin; public interest and preparing the way foi the firal triumph, as well as important ix.

Vhile the campaign is in progress, peti- tions praying for the passage of the pend- ing measures shou!d be circulated in each legislative district, and sent to the member representing it in senate or assembly for presentation to those bodies. Special peti- tions signed by the most influential people in the district are of great effect, when sent directly to a man who is known to be wavering, urging him personally to vote for the bill. Letters should also be written to the members by friends or strangers. “For general agitation, all women who esire their political freédom should send individual petitions to the leislature ask- ing for their own political berty. “Strict watch should be kept on all legis- lative action, and protests should be sent in, when any laws are proposed inimical to the rights of women. Especially bills pro- posing to change the statutes regulating marriage and divorce should be looked af- ter, and the demand made that they be re- ferred to a commission ‘composed of per- scns of both sexes.” : Rev. Anna H. Shaw introduced, by re- quest, a resolution recommending that the common council of Philadelphia be peti- tioned to set apart a room in old Indepen- dence Hall to be used as a headquarters for the suffrage association. The resolution was received with enthusiasm, but, of ne- cessity, had to be turned over to the reso- lutions committee for action. Suffrage in the South. Miss Laura Clay presented the report of the southern committee. The south, she -aid, should be looked upon as the strategic soint in the contest for equal suffrage, for n the south the woman movement meets with less hostility than in any other sec- tion of the country, with the possible ex- seption of the west. The fight should be ‘or woman suffrage and nothing else. It sught not to be hampered by any side is- sues. Mrs. Caroline B. Buell of Connecticut, for any years recording secretary of the W. T. U., and Miss Rose E. Lumkin, a ung eolored woman, the president of the <ing’s Daughters of Hampton, Va., were ntroduced as fraternal delegates, and spoke briefly to the convention. Lillie Devereux Blake. Miss Sallie Clay Bennett’of Kentucky re- s6rted for the committee on federal suf- cage. Daring a brief lull in the proceedings of the morning, Miss Anthony spoke in a -eminiscent vein of some of the earlier sorkers in the suffrage, Lucretia Mott, Lucy Stone, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and =thers, paying a high tribute to their cul- ture,nobility of character and true woman- iness. It was not that the pioncers in the movement were less attractive than the women of today, but only that public sen- timent has broadened and made it possible that justice can be done to them as was ot done twenty, thirty or forty years ago. “How about Miss Anthony, Aunt Susan?” asked a lady in the audience. “I have nothing to say about her,” an- wered Miss Anthony, “except that for ‘ears she has been compelled to pose as the typical strong minded woman. When * first tried to speak in New York I failed o have my say, however.. I was referred > in a New York paper as an extremely ‘ngular woman, who, as a speaker, had -bsolutely nothing to say. Since then I have always spoken of myself as the leas attractive in all the band.” “No, no!” called out a number of wome: nce. “No, no!" “Yes, yes!" replied Miss ‘Anthony quickly “It makes no difference what you may 1x So good as tu think, but-It fs what the out side world may think.” On motion of Rev. Anna Shaw it wa: voted to send a telegram of love and greet ing to Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, th: honorary president of the association. A Memorial Service. The remainder of the morning hour war devoted to a memorial service in honor o the suffrage workers who have passe: away during the past year. Mrs. Clara B Colby of this city presented a resolution which conteined the names of the more dis tinguished of the year’s dead. Mrs. Rache Foster Avery followed with a brief addres: to the memory of Theodore L. Sewell vi Charlotte Perkins Stetson. Indianapolis, the husband of Mrs. May Wright Sewell, the secretary of the Inter- national Council of Women, who was him- self an ardent believer in the merits of the suffrage cause. Mr. Blackwell spoke earnestly of the achievements of Theodore Weld and Fred- erick Douglass along similar lines. The memory of Mrs. Ellen Battelle Diet- Tick, one of the most faithful workers in the suffrage cause, was beautifully enshrin- ed in an address by Rev. Anna H. Shaw. Mrs. Dietrick used to be the corresponding secretary of the National Association, and at the time of her death she was the chair- man of the national press committee. Shc and Miss Shaw were the most intimate of friends, and as Miss Shaw is perhaps the best talker at the convention her tribute to the memory of Mrs. Dietrick was eloquent and beautiful in the extreme. There werc tears in the eyes of many of the delegates before she had finished. At the conclusion of a few words from Miss Anthony on the same stbject the con- vention adjourned yntil 2 o'clock. Saturday's Late Meetings. At the meeting of the! Suffrage conven- tion Saturday afternoon the,committee on the plan of work for 1896:presented its re- Port. The committee recommended thai the standing committee ‘on, organization, nominated by the business committee and elected by the convention, be continued: that each lecturer employed -by that com- mittee be given the right ta stand as an emissary of the association; that each state appoint an organizatfon committee to push the work of such ofganization. The details of the work for clubs, prep- aration of printed matter,;the appointment of a committee of letter: writers, and the continuation of the National Suffrage Bul- letin were all considered:fayorably in the report. In connection with the financial affairs the committee suggested that $10,- 000 would be necessary for the work for this year, and that such amount can be raised with proper effort. In connection with the report of the com- m:ttee Miss: Anthony read a letter which has been sent to the suffrage clubs in fif- teen or twenty of the states. These letters suggest the formation of suffrage clubs, ac- cording to political subdivisions of the states, the purpose being to influence the caucus nominations for all offices. At the evening session the convention re- ceived reports from a number of state presidents. Reports and addresses were made by Mrs. Harriet Sanders, wife of the ex-Senator from Montana; Mr. J. B. Mer- win and Mrs. V. C. Whitney of Missouri, Mrs. C. B. Colby of Nebraska, Mrs. Fran- ces A. Williamson of Nevada, Miss Helen Morris Lewis of North Carolina, Mrs. R. W. Southard of Oklahoma,’ Mrs. Caro- ine McCullough Everhard of Ohio, Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Stetson, Miss Elizabeth Burrill Mrs. Lucretia L. Blanken- burg, Mr. John Hughes of Arizona, Mrs. Virginia D. Young of South Carolina, Mra. Anna R. Simmons of South Dakota, Miss Cora Smith Eaton of North Dakota and Mrs. Carrie L. Allen of Utah. Religious Service Yesterday. A religious service under the auspices of the convention was held yesterday after- noon at the Church of Our Father. Miss Elizabeth M. Yates of Maine presided and offered the invocation. The choir was com- posed of friends of the association, with Elizabeth Hailman as organist. They ren- dered “God Through All and in All.” Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Stetson of Call- fornia delivered a scholarly and eloquent address on the subject “The Spiritual Sig- nificance of Democracy and Woman's Re- lation to It.’ Convention Notes. “Aunt Susan” forgot her gavel this morn- ing, and some one brought her a table crcquet mallet to use instead of the jack knife she had borrowed from a man. Some one presented Miss Anthony with a bouquet of La France roses. Hereafter the people who want the auto- graph of Miss Susan B. Anthony will have to pay for it. She is asked for her auto- graph thousands of times in each year, and Mrs. Thomas of Maryland suggested that as autographs of this kind bore a commercial value a bureau of autographs be established at national headquarters, where supplies of autographs of the noted ycmen of the suffrage cause will be sold for a consideration, and the money turned over to the association fund. Mrs. Belva Lockwood is fraternal dele- gate to the convention from the Universal Peace Union. One of the incidents of the morning was the reading of the following letter from the national organizer and her husband: “Carrie C. and Geo, W. Catt propose to pay the sum of $250 to the state whose territory lies west of the longitude of the west line of the state of Minnesota which shall first secure a suffrage organization based on a club membership auxiliary to the state and national A. W. S. A. equal to 500 to each 100,000 of the white popula- tion, the same to be used for campaign purposes, and shall remain open until Jan- uary 1, 1900, and no longer. Azd wili pay $100 to the state east of said degree of longitude which shall first secure a suf- frage organization based on a club mem- bership auxiliary to the state and N. A. W. 8S. A. equal to 250 for each 100,000 of the white population. The same to be used to continue the organization in such state, and shall remain open until January 1900, and no longer.” One of the touching addresses this morn- ing came from Miss Rose E. Lumkin of Hampton, Va. Her skin is dark, but the way handkerchiefs flew up to cyes sug- gested that her speech was silver, as she asked the prayers and good wishes of the suffrage women for her race and the ad- vancement of their interests. Miss Lum- kin is president of the King’s Daughters of Hampton, a graduate of the Hampton Institute, and honorary president of the Colored Women's Political League of New York city. E Mrs. Bessie Boone Cheshire, president of Potomac Corps, W. R. C., is the fraternal lelegate of the Department W. R. C. to the ‘onvention. The Woman's National Press Association has been represented in cvery session of the convention by Mrs. Dora Tichenor Voor- his, formerly editor of the Golden Gate of tan Francisco. The only break made in the holding of na- ional conventions of the suffragists in about forty years was from 1861 to 1865. No na- ‘ional convention was held during the civil war. Miss Anthony gave the new members a rap his morning. She said that many of them "hought that the suffrage movement had carcely been heard of until they turned their eloquence loose in the cause, “but the ‘act of the matter is,” she sald, “not a sin- sle new idea, not a new thought, not a single new argument has been advanced in cur cause that was not advanced forty "ears ago.” A very handsome and lifelike lithograph f Lucy Stone Blackwell was exhibited on he platform on an easel this morning. Mss \nthony said that it was an inspiration tc ook atit. The gentle, kindly face is framed n the soft old lace that she always wore, nd some of the same lace is folded in sim- le Quaker fashion about her shoulders. Henry Blackwell says that the rights that vomen enjoy today are the result of sixty ears of agitation, and he was in it from the rst. “Little Mrs. Diggs," they call her here,” said a Kansas woman, “but they don’t know that in Kansas and Colorado she {ts quite +: power, and is able to down Mrs. Lease, who is iarge enoagh to make two of her, and then have some to spare. Anyhow, Mrs. Diggs krows more in a minute thar ‘irs. Lease does in a week, and we always snow where to find her, too. She dcesn't hange her views with her gown.” Mrs. Orra La’ ~horne of Culpeper, and ‘resident of the \irginia Suffrage Associa fon, is one of the “new women” of the south. “We are so conservative, you xnow,” she said, with that delicious slow irawl that women of the south have to oerfection, “and we are not up to date i: wverything, but we are getting there. Seme people have said to me that it is noi he proper thing for a woman to desire to vote, that it is unly people who desire no- torlety and a name and who engage in a ation. But I tell them that the Lang- hornes have been here in the Shenandoah valley for over 20) years, and they do not eed to seek for either one. Suffrage t: women in the south would give life to our old blood and bring a new era of prosperi- y. It is coming, too.” Mrs. Langhorne deeply interested in having the Univer: ot Virginia opened to women. ing the public schools in Virginia, lecturing on ‘ublic Schools to the State of Virginia,” hoping to rouse interest in the desired change. Although excluded from the uni- versity, Virginia women are being solicited to aid in the rebuilding of ‘it. Mrs. Lang- horne thinks that is a good deal like “taxa- tion without representation.” Some one wanted to know of Miss An- jhony why she d dn’t wear a suffrage badge. “Dear me,” she said, with a sigh. “If 1 were to begin, I would be blistered all over with badges, for it wouldn't to to slight any of them," which would seem to argue hat “Aunt Susan” is something “jiner" herself. ae Even the souvenir spoon craze has struck the suffragists, and you can get sugar, tea or bon bon spoons with the face of “Aunt Susan” forming the tip of the handle. —__ + THE FORESTRY ASSOCIATION. ity She fs visit- various parts of “The Relation of Our Interesting Addresses Delivered by: Prominent Public Men. The joint meeting of the American For- estry Association and the National Geo- graphical Society Friday evening was an occasion of more than passing interest, since it showed the growth of an idea that has been slow of acceptance by the Amer- ican mind. Five years ago, had any one asked the chairmen of the Senate and House committees on public lands for a public expression of opinion favoring the enactment of an administrative forest law for the public domain, he would in all probability have been laughed at. In this brief period, then, public opinion has ac- -cepted the notion of forest protection. It is true that this matter of forest pro- tection was broached much more than fi years ago. The American forestry con- gress held its first session fifteen years ago, but, as was intimated at the Friday evening meeting, that assemblage was re- garded as a gathering of sentimentalists. ‘ongressman McRae, the especial cham- nm of forestry interests in the House, teld of his conversion to the movement. He said when Dr. Fernow first came to him with a long bill that he wanted en- acted for the protection of the forests of the public domain he had little Interest !n the matter. But committees of men whose chief characteristic was common sense talked forest protection to the public lands ccmmittee, and he found that the forest idea was‘a strongly practical one. It forced his attention, it commanded his re- spect and soon it found in him an enthu- siastic advocate. Tree Love in Arkansas. Mr. McRae told his audience that down in Arkansas, where he lives, there is a wealth of forest so great that the people fail utterly to realize it has any value at all. Mr. Lacey, who preceded Kim, having told an amusing story of the depth and fertility cf Iowa soil, Mr. McRae solemnly assured his hearers that in eastern Ar- kansas there was no bottom to the black soil—wells had not pierced it, and all its ‘hness was given to the production of forest giants. He, himself, had never been cut of sight of a tree until he was thirty- five yesrs old, and misguided neighbors of bis, who had been lured from home by tales of the flowering prairies of Texas, had re- FINANCIAL, FORTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL STATEMENT Pennutua Life $6,740,512 94 $30,519,525 32 Taxes Paid ‘in 792 03 Taxes in other States...

Senator Dubois carried his hearers far away to the wooded slopes and shady val- leys of the Coeur d'Alene, in his own state of Idaho. The Senator showed an intimate acquaintance with the natural resources of his great young state, and a keen apprecia- tion of the unique value of her forests, which he rated even higher than her great mineral wealth. Not only are the moun- tain forests valuable in themselves, but they are the reservoirs of all the streams of the state, and these furnish the only means of irrigation, without which agri- culture ‘s well-nigh impossible. - Speaking of the relation of the people of Idaho snd the mountain states generally to the forests on the public domain, Mr. Dubois said: “It is so much easier to re- gerd the government as an entity here in Washingtcn, where massive buildings and thcusands of workers give it a personality, than in the west, where only thousands of unoccupied acres remind one of its ex- istence.” And hence government property is anybody's property. The Senator said that while the preservation of western for- ests would prove difficult, he regarded it as essential to the prosperity of the west- ern states, and sincerely hoped #ome ef- fective law might be enacted by the pres- ent Congress.
