Next Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock the Ameri- can suffregists will move ou congress and will present a petition signed by more than 500000 American citizens, men and women, praying for the submission of an amend- ment to the constitution giving women the right to vote. When the English sut- fragettes “rushed” the House of Commons the police becams very active, many women were injured and many were sent to jall. The House of Commons has not yet acted on the question of ‘‘votes for women.” The American congress will be much more polite and courteous, and the American suffragists will be much more gentle and womanly. Americans have much better political manners than Eng- lishmen, anyhow, and this superiority will be demonstrated in Washington during this week or next. Congress has made a habit of being polite and courteous to advocates of wom- an's suffrage. For more than thirty years the senate has maintained a committee on woman's suffrage. The members of this committee are regularly elected with as much gravity as are those of the finance committee. The c¢hairmanship, by one of the unwritten laws of the senate, is given always to & minority member. Every sena- tor’ on the majority side ls chairman of some committee, gaining thereby the use of & more or less palatial committes room | ana the services of a clerk and messenger |patld by the government. Only a few of | the older minority senators have chalr- | manships. One of these is Senator Alex- ander 8. Clay of Gecrgia, chairman of the committee on woman suffrage. His com- mittes will awake from a hibernation of several years next Tuesday and will hear Rev. Anna Howard Shaw, president of the National Woman Suffrage assoclation, piéad for another amendment to the con- stitution giving the ballot to women. Then the committee will go to sleep again and pay no further attention to the subject. On the same day the judiclary committee of the house of representatives will give the suffragists a hearing, and will listen to arguments presented by representatives of working women. The judiclary com- mittee will listen, and then do nothing else. Probably the good women who are at the head of the suffrage assoclations do not expect anything to be done by con- gress. The suffrage fight in America must be waged in the states first, but the agita- tion for a constitutional amendment and the storming of congress will have an ex- |cellent effect In stirring up enthusiasm |in the several states. The cause of woman suffrage L, advancing—it is impossible to deny that lact. And in the United States the women will get the vote just as soon |as even half of the women of the country seriously demagd it. And that without throwing bricks® through the skylight of the house to hit Speaker Cannon on the head, or without any women going to jail and being fed with a pump through her nose. The National Woman's Suffrage asso- clation, having for its sole object the amendment of the federal constitution to permit women to vote, wWas organized In 1889 by Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthory and other women who already were famous for their victories in the cause of women's rights in other spheres of activity. There was some division of sentiment at the time and another organ- ization. The American Woman Suffrage assoclation was organized in 18, with Henry Ward Beecher as president and Julla Ward Howe and Lucy Stone s mov- |ing spirits. This organization sought to obtain its end by lmendmonll to state constitutigns. Both assoclations held annual meetings regularly, but as time passed by the bit- terness of the original difference was di- luted and In 1800 the two organizations merged under the present title, Natlonal- American Woman Suffrage association. Elizabeth Cady Stanton was elected presi- dent; Susan B. Anthony, vice president-at- large, and Lucy Stone was made chalrman of the executive committee. Since that time the association has pursued its work along both lines, fighting for both federal and state constitutional action. In 1852 Mrs. Stanton retired from the presidency because of advancing years and was succeeded by Miss Anthony. She re- signed in 1900 and was succeeded by Carrle Chapman Catt. Mrs. Catt retired in 1904 |ana was followed by Anna Howard Shaw, the incumbent. Rachael Foster Avery of Pennsylvania is first vice president. The | convention now meeting in Washington is Some Things You Want to Know Votes for Women—I. The Movement in America. being attended by scores of the most prom- inent women in the country. Women enjoy full rights of suffrage on & basis of absolute equality with men In four states, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah and Idaho. The cause is much more popular in the west than in the east. The monster petition to be presented to congress next week, sald to be the largest single petition ever presented to a parliamentary body, is signed by quite as many men as women, and from the western states the men are in the majority. The petitions are Aar- ranged by states, and thirteen of them are headed by the signature of the gov- ernor. The governors of Colorado, Florida, South Dakota, California, Minnesota, Michigan, New Hampshire, Maryland, ldaho, Wyoming, Utah, Washington and Oregon' pray for the woman suffrage amendment. It will be noticed that all but three of these suffragist governors bail from the west. Although woman's suftrage is further ad- vanced in some other countries than in Americal It is recorded that the original] ‘suffragette’”’ was an American. She was Mistress Margaret Brent of Maryland, and her demand for votes for women was made in 1647. Mistress Brent was the heir of Lord Calvert, brother of Lord Baitimore, and executor of the estates of both In the colony. Representation in the Maryland legislature at that time was based upon property. By virtue of her holdings she demanded “place and voyce'—two votes— in the legislature. Her petition was de- bated hotly and finally declined. Under the old province charter of Masss- chusetts women voted for all elective offl- cers from 181 to 17®. The constitution then succeeding excluded the women from voting for governor and members of the legislature, but gave them the right as to all other officers. The baliot was hedged about with many restrictions, however, and not one-fourth of the men were eligible. In 189 the Massachusetts legislature sub- mitted the question of admitting the women to the suffrage to a plebiscite of the women of the state. Of the 575,000 women of voting age, only 22,204 were sufficiently Interested to go 0 the polls and demand the ballot for thelr sex. The legisiature concluded that the women didn’t want it, and they didn't get it. A few months before the Declaration of Independence in 1776, Abigall Adams wrote to her husband, John Adams, in Philadel- phia, setting forth the political claims of the women. She said that she longed to hear the news that congress had declared the colonies independent of England, but she reminded her husband that the women ought to be considered in the question of representation, even threatening to foment & rebellion If they were excluded. Mrs. Hannah Lee Corbin, sister of Richar! Henry Lee of Virginla, in 1778 presented a petition demanding the right to vote. Thus the sister of the mover of the Declaration ot Independence and the wife of its prin- cipal advocate were among the first suffra- gettes. The continental congress left the ques- tion of suffrage entirely to the states. New Jersey was the only one which gave women the right to vote, equally with men, its constitution conferring the tranchise on “all inhabitants worth $260, etc.” In 17, when the federal government under the constitu- tion had been set up, & revision of the New Jersey election law used the words “he or sl in reference to electors, thus confirm- ing women fn the right to vote. A suffl- clent number 6t Women &vdiled thémselves of the privilege to incur the enmity of the politicians, and fn 1507 the legislature passed an act limiting the to “white male cltizens.” This was iIn violation of the constitution of the state, but the women, apparently, were not sufficiently interested to make an effective protest. In 1626 Frances Wright came to America from Scotland and began a crusade for womdn's rights. This was the beginning of the movement which has resulted in the amelioration of the laws of 50 many states which placed women under disadvantagee. The movement, however, was absorbed in the anti-slavery agitation, and it was not until 159 that it took definite shape as & demand for the suffrage. The first organized general movement was began in 188, when a woman's rights con- vention was held at Seneca Falls, N. Y. “to discuss the social, civil and religlous condition and rights of woman." Elizabetn Cady Stanton, Mary Ann McClintock, Lu- cretia Mott and others of almost equal prominence were the guiding spirits of that movement, which is the same represented today by the convention in.Washington.
