THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, JUNE 18, 1896 WOMAN SUFFRAGE AND DIVORCE, Marriage Less a Failure in- Wyoming . Than Elsewhere. SOME UNIQUE LAWS. The Ratio of Divorce There to Other Western States Is as One to Four. NOT S0 MANY IDIOTS EITHER. Punishment to Fit the Crimes of Women—Facts and Figures From the Records of Wyoming. Miss Elizabeth Yates, now in this City, and other champions of woman suffrage, ‘“‘point with pride,” in the same dramatic manner as the masculine political orator, to Wyoming as a beautiful illustration of the practical working and success of en- franchisement for women. They point to that State, with its twenty-seven years of equal suffrage of the sexes, as an example for California to follow and as a shining refutation of claims, all and various, that the home is woman’s only sphere. They assert that it settles the question of whether men shall go into the kitchen and wash dishes, whether family ties and the home are broken up and the lodging- house and restaurant increase and multi- ply, whether woman cannot be a woman and mother still with the additional re- sponsioility of the ballet. According to statistics and the lasr school census the earth in Wyoming is being plentifully re- plenished. Miss Yates is from Maine. Sheisone of almost a host of handsome champions of the ballot for women, who have been sent into California by the National Woman’s Suffrage League. She is splen- didly equipped for the work. Her dark | beauty indicates that she is capable of | putiing plenty of fervor into it. The speech which Miss Yates delivered last | Sunday night before the Socialistic Labor party, a report of which occasion appeared | in the next morning’s CarL,was more than | half a classic, in its correct style and its fitting and finished metaphor. In the speech she pointed to Wyoming as the shining light of the equal enfranchisement of men and women. She said: by the statistics of insanity and idiocy, Wyoming being far below the average in these. Compare Wyoming with a typical Eastern State—Connecticut; where the latter has 1 insane person to every 363 of | the population, Wyoming has but 1 to| every 1497. Nor is this whoily a differ- ence of East and West, for Idaho, its neighbor, shows 1 to every 1629 insane. The propurtion of idiots is, in Connecticut, 1 to 616; Idaho, 1 to 1534, and Wyoming, | 1 to 4336. Espe ally would voting seem} to increase the intelligence of women, for | in both .Connecticut and Idaho there are over seven-tenths as many femnale idiots as there are male idiots, while in Wyoming there are only four-tenths as many. ‘A careful comparison of the laws of Wyoming with those of other States shows that they are exceptionally favorable and just to women. They clearly define, as| do the laws of no other State, the different | offenses against the person of women, making them dovetail and thus furnish- ing continued protection. Itisa peniten-| tiary ‘offense for any person to exercise the | arts of the procurer over any female under 18 years of age even with her consent, or over 18 years without it; and the statute omits those usual words of limitation which extend protection only to the virtu- ous, leaving exposed to the ‘“tender mercies of the wicked’’ those who are in sorest need of the wgis of the law. “Seduction is in most States a civil cffense, laying the guilty party liable to damages, and I find no other State that makes the betrayal of a woman less than 21 years of age, under promise of mar- riage, a well-defined penitentiary offense. Colorado. of this group of Western States, comes the nearest to it, but this limits the age of protection to 16 years. “Wyoming stands alone in considering the male and female habitues of houses of prostitution as guilty of the same offense, but the man receives a double punish- ment, being liable to a fine of $100 and im- prisonment for sixty days, while the woman is liable only to a fine of $50 and imprisonment for thirty days. These figures are taken from the records of the State and can be verified by any one,’’ she concluded. A SOCIRLISTIC CRISIS. Colleztivist a:;r;u;;i Gives Nc-} tice That It Is Fast Ap- proaching. | Believes a Third Party Can Elect a} President Four Years Frcm | Now. | | | i \ | At the meeting of the Political Economy Club held at 15 South Park last Tuesday evening Laurence Gronlund made an interesting address. He stated that there was a widespread sentiment. over the | whole land that the beginning of the | twentieth century would be the dawn of a | new era in social and industrial life. “Wyoming in its purer homes, purer| social relations and purer politics, tells a | beautiful story of the success of woman’s | suffrage. 1tis a proof twenty-seven years | old. When the time came for the Terri- tory of Wyoming to be admitted to the | union of States, the men of Wyoming | notified Congress that they preferred to re- | main a Territory for ninety-nine years | than to be admitted to Statehood without suffrage for woman. They had tried, while a Territory, and found to be a suc- | cess.” Miss Gates has some interesting facts | and figures which show the effect of woman’s suffrage on divorce. They fndi- cate that marriage, at least in Wyoming, is not so much of a failure as in other States, and that unhappy marriages are more bearable. One of the great problems of the dayis how to maintain the sacred institution of the home, and Miss Yates says that Wyoming's experience shows one way of approaching its solution. “Wyomihg shields more the marriage of its daughters than any other Western State, requiring parental consent for the marriage of any girl under 21 years of age.” Another woman, who does some clerical werk for one of the most prominent woman-suffrage workers in the State, who is now absent from tne City, gave the fol- | lowing facts and figures on divorce in Woming: “The average duration of marriage be- fore divorce, where persons have béen mar- ried 21 years or over, 18 considerably longer in Wyoming than in the average of West- ern States and in the average of the whole United States, showing that the married condition of even the unhappily mated is more bearable than elsewhere, The per cent of divorce granted to wives in the United States is very much larger than to husbands, while in Wyoming the differ- ence is much smaller than the average, and it must certainly be for the safety of domestic relations that the bonds shoula be as bearable to one sex as to the other. This, certainly, is a point in favor of woman’s equality before the law. “In the United States,’”” she continued, “‘the estimated number of married couples to one divorce was 664 in 1870 and 481in 1880, the number of divorced marriages in the United States increasing 38 per cent. In the Western group, the States, omit- | ting Wyoming, which are beyond or partly beyond the Rocky Mountains, the average | increase was 50 per cent. In Nebraska, ‘Wyoming’s neighbor, it was 79 per cent. To take the statistics from two exception- | ally law-abiding communities: In Michi- gan it was 50 per' cent; Minnesota, 55 per cent, while in Wyoming the number of divorced marriages had decreased 29 per ce! E%o state the result iu another way,” she said, “‘divorces increased in the United States from 1870 to 1880, 79.4 per cent, nearly three times the per cent of the in- crease of the population for the same period, and in the group of Western States that I have described they have increased 376.3 per cent. Now, in Wyoming the in- crease in divorce is 6L.5 per cent, only one- half as large as the per cent of increase of the population. “To state the matter in terms that all can remember,” she said, ‘‘the ratio of divorce in Wyoming is to that of the whole United States as 1 to 3, and to that of the other States in the Western group as1 10 4. o“St:tistics show that, contrary to the prevailing opirion, divorces are very largely granted where the marriage was celebrated, but of the few divorces ob- tained in Wyoming almost all are of those married before going to that State,” she went on. “‘Bo, while we can well con- ceive what a shock it must be to married men immigrating to Wyoming to find themselves for the first time in their lives forced to see at their firesides a legal and political equal, it i a sigificant fact that men to the manner born find this condi- tion conducive to domestic happiness. That the conditions of society where women have political rights and privi- leges conduce to a tranquil state of mind and a high degree of intelligence is shown “Capitalism,” he said “is digging its | own grave and is preparing the way for an era of socialism at the beginning of the next century. On the continent of | Europe socialism is a class movement, | and therein lies gremt danger. It is in the power of educated people to prevent the movement from taking this form of a | violent class struggle here, and the Politi- | cal Economy Club and all intelligent organizations should labor to this end | and strive to usher in a new era based upon intelligent and mutual helpfulhess | rather than upon passion and hate. “Socialism is perfected democracy,” he ! said. *“Itis democracy carried out on the | economic side. We are now living in this country under a regime of industrial abso- | lutisin—the power being in tue hands of | irresponsible monopoly. Instead of the | divine right of kings, we have now the divine right of property. i ~There is a general misconception as to | the meaning of the word individualism. | Individualism exists now in the sense that every one uses his property for his own gain. Here the idea of self predominates, which leads to seifishness and egoism. So- cialism or collectivism aims to fight such individualism, but it is a common error to suppose that socialism will also crush out individuality. Individuality of character will be fostered under collectivism—every individual will have an open field and fair | play for the exkibition and development of his highest qualities of body, mind and | pirit. | ~*S8ocialism may be defined again as the | collective ownership of all capital and the collective control of all industries. So- | cialists do not desire to socialize all prop- | erty, but only that part of property or wealtb which is used in production, i. e., i capital, as machinery, factories, raw mate- | rials and land. | “‘The educated classes,” he continted, | “should be the leaders of the socialist or | collectivist movement in America. But in Europe it is to be expected that there shall be a violent revolution. Professor | Richard T. Ely takes the ground that | socialism may be achieved peacefully and | gradually—the first step is the socializa- tion of all public utilities, as water, gas, telegraphs, telephones, railroads, ete.” A third party, Mr. Gronlund believes, could win at the election four years from now on a platform containing these three planks: Goyernment control of railroads and telegraphs, Government banking, and State productive work for the unemployed. In conclusion Mr. Gronlund said that the great ssity at present is to over- come the indifference of the intelligent, educated class in regard to the approach- | ing crisis which can be demonstrated to | be coming and to be close at_hand. The | church and clerzymen, especially, can, if | they will, prevent a violent eutburst. | The opportunities presented to modern society are ‘‘grand beyond historical pre- cedent.” In the discussion that foliowed the Rev. W. L. Kip made an interesting statement as to what the church could and could not do in relation to the movement, and out- lined the approaching crisis. The clergy, he said, could not, without losing their character as clerzy, become advocates or partisans of any movement or become the | representatives or champions of any class. What they could do was to join and organ- ize social unions, into which any member of society could enter. Here the clergy could come together with other members of society, take part in discussions, strive to arouse indifference and to aid by moral support. f | | | | | | o —————— DAY IS DIVORCED. His Wife Allowed the Case to Go by Default. Osmond L. Day, the masher, who has been so often arrested for vagrancy, was vesterday granted a divorce from Annie Day by Judge Sanderson. Osmond proved that Annie deserted him, and, as Annie made no defense, the decree was made. She was, no doubt, so glad to get rid of Omond that she would have quietly al- lowed almost any kind of a charge to have gone by default. Died From Natural Causes. A Coroner’s jury yesterday returned a ver- dict of “natural causes” in the case of Miss Mayne Worrell, who died at the Palace Hotel June 6. Dr. Whitney, who attended her, testi- fied that she died irom angina pectoris. Dr. Nuthan, acting autopsy physician, held a si ilar opinion. An inquest was also heid on the bodies of John W. Hay and Orrick W. Marye, a verdict of murder in the first and suicide in the last-named case being returned. | Commerce: | THE cHAMBE | Nicaragua Canal by the United States Govern- | of tariff and free silver, but we all know that | | and to never cease an insistance on such legis- | & | ~hise was ruled out. CONGRESS FORGOT THE NICARAGUA But the Chamber of Com- merce Again Agitates the Camal. IN A STIRRING APPEAL. Agriculture, Manufactures and Commerce Demand a Cheap Waterway. PERSEVERANCE IS NECESSARY. “ With One Anticipated Exception, All the Coast Delegation in Congress Deserve Thanks.” The following address to the commer- cial bodies and public ot the Pacific Coast was issued yesterday by the Chamber of OF COMMERCE OF SAN FRANCISCO. To the Cepumercial Organizations and Our Fel- low-Citizens of the Pacific Coast—GENTLEMEN: Congress has again adjourned without enact- ing the legislation insuring the conmstruction of the Nicaragusa canal, although with a favor- able report from the Committees on Commerce of both houses. The natural feeling of resentment at the neglect of a great public beneficence because it has not the propulsion of private interest, must not permit us to abate our exertions and demands for favorable action during the last session of the Fifty-fourtn Congress. We have five months for active propaganda, and a.gen- eral election in which to press our demands. We are not restricted in our efforts by mercan- tile interests alone; our producers are suffer- ing so keenly for cheap, short transportation by water to the markets where neariy all our | produgts are disposed of, that we are assured of their active sympathy and aid, while the necessity of the canal from a National stand- point is more apparent every year. OurNational prosperity, influence and safety so largely depend upon the control of the ment, jointly with our sister Republic of Nicaragua, that on this ground alone the canal will finally overcome all opponents. We have powerful friends in the Gulf and Mississippi | Valley States, while the Atlantic Coast is with us on account of the great impetus the canal | will give to American shipping. Even the in- land transportation corporations that have opposed us are gradually recognizing that the canal is a beneficent work which will injure no vested interest, but will increase their traffic. We have nodoubt of the great future in store for the port of San Francisco, but it is at this time in sore need of this aid to its pros perity. Why, then, should we idly fold our arms and forget that “God helps those who help themselves?” With one anticipated exception all the Pa- cific Coast delegation in Congress deserve our thanks. They have done.all in their power to aid us, and will do so again when they return to Congress. Let us then make tnis a cam- paign issue without regard to party. The can- didate who pledges himseli to work for the canal is our friend, and must be assured of our support. The canaidate who ignores our cry for aid is our enemy and deserves reprobation. Let every citizen on the Pacific Coast write to iriends all over our broad land asking in the name of patriotism and as a proof of their per- sonal good will that they will urge their Sen- ators and Representatives to demand legisla- tion which will secure us this urgent necessity before the termination of the Fifty-fourth Con- gress. Let the claims of relationship and old associations, the mutual interests of business intercourse, the loyalty which may properly demand that one section of our country shall | not call in vain upon another for aid—all be availed of to overcome the inertia of indiffer- ence which has made Congress ignore a great National progressive enterprise which will be specially the salvation of the Pacific Coast. In vain may we look for radical improveinent in the possibility of political chenge. Opinions may honestly differ on questions | the canal is the solution of the great question of cheap transportation for the products of the Pacific Coast. On this all parties can unite; have,in fact, already and repeatedly united but failed us when the time for legislation ar- rived, because of the absence of selfish inter- ests insisting on a fulfillment of party pledges. And g0 we urge you in the name of our suf- fering farmers, our stagnant industries, our | hampered commerce to agitate, to demand lation as will secure “an American canai yn- der American control,” for the benetit of our cople, nnder conditions which shall prevent jscrimination and secure us a short, cheap waterway to the Atlantic. Therein, believe us, is the main solution of our prosperity. We urge your action in your own interest and for the public welfare. We respectfully request the public press to circulate this address and to aid our efforts with its powerful influence, HUGH CRAIG, PRESIDENT. JOHN L. HOWARD, Lovis B.

VAN BICKLEN, N0 FRARCHSE MNARDED Judge Hebbard’s Peculiar De- cision in the L. V. Merle Case. Sharon’s Bid Could Not Be Accepted And Merle Withdrew His Propositioa. The case of L. V. Merle vs. The Board ot Supervisors was yesterday decided by Judge Hebbard, A writ o1 mandate was asked by Merle to compel tha Supervisors toaward him a garbage-collecting fran- chise on his bid of $5500, he claiming that this was the bighest bid made. The Supervisors, however, saw fit to accept a proposition submittea by F. E. Sharon, who offered the City $2510 cash and a percentage for the frarchise. It is flzuroX that the percentage will net the City $350,000 during the fifty years it is to run. Judge Hebbard d-cided thatin awarding the contract the Bupervisors cannot con- sider the percentage portion of the Sharon bid, and so of course Merle’s bid is the highest. Another %rlion of the decision says, however, that Merle, by withdrawing his certified check when Sharon’s bid was accepted, also withdrew his bid. By this decision it would appear that neither Snaron nor Merle has secured the franchise, and that the whole matter will have to be_gone over again. Judge Heb- bard’s decision is based on the Supreme Court’s decision of March 17, 1896, in the case of A. E. Thompson against the Super- visors of Alameda County, when a per- centage bid for an electric-railroad fran- Children Cry for P |.and nervous affections. = - =50 5y — — ' T v TiE BARTLET sbrINGS AVFE THE MERITED REPUTATION OF belng one of the WONDERS of the WORLD, and seekers of pleasare and lovers of sightseeing, as well as those in search of HEALTH, will be well paid by visiting them.
