THE 0. s. ", s. A.

The fourth annual meeting of the Or
egon State Woman Suffrage Association
will be held in Salem, commencing on
the sth day of February, 1876, and con-
tinuing two or more days.
The Corresponding Secretary, Mrs. F.
F. Victor, has during the past week ad-
dressed large number of the friends OF
the cause in this State, Washington
Territory and California, asking their
presence and aid.
The President, Mrs. J. DeVore john
son, together with other members OF
the Executive Committee, are busily
engaged in perfecting plans that will, it
is hoped, render this Convention grand
success.
To the good friends of the cause in
Salem we would say, bestir yourselves,
and attend promptly to such work as
the Executive Committee must necessa-
rily delegate to you.
The work goes bravely on in other To-
calities, and the friends of equal rights
have much to encourage them. Look
at the account published elsewhere OF
the Convention held this week~at Den
yer, Colorado. Concerted and timely
action will enable the leaders of the
movement in this State to send dis
patch across the continent to our cola
borers in the East, telling of an enthu-
siastic meeting which shall presage a
speedy triumph of principle over preju-
dice. The time THAT yet remains for
work before the meeting of the Associa-
tiOn is short, yet it is long enough to
enable earnest workers to accomplish
much. "Let US then be up and doing"

WE WOULD NOT TAKE, BUT SHARE
THEM,

These honors, rights, and privileges to
which men cling with such tenacity
while denying them to women. Equal
rights before the law, fair field and no
favor" this is the sum and substance of
the demand that women, as intelligent
human beings, are making to-day.
Read it again, brethren. 1t stands
there in black and white, saying moth
ing which it does not mean, and meaning
nothing which it does not say. Read
it, and answer upon your truth and
honor, if there is aught that savors of
unfairness in the demand. Weak men
have for years delighted in what they
considered strong argument, which
runs something in this wise: "Women
want to take the place of men. If
women vote, they must also change
places with men in all the departments
of lIfe." Said a genial, middle-aged
man in our hearing once: "If my wife
votes, she must follow the plow, and 1
will wash the Dishes" The expression
! on the wlfe's lace was study as her
husband laughed, and imagined he had
advanced a conclusive argument, or at
least said a very clever thing. The
daily duties of the farmer and trades
man are as different as those of men
and women, yet neither are necessarily
DISTINGUISHED.
Why, brethren, don't you know that
women would not haze privilege that
was bought with the price of your free
dom? That loyal wives and mothers
affectionate sisters and daughters recog.
nize the fact that your loss cannot by
any possibility be their gain?
1t is not your disadvantage thai
women seek. but through their advance
ment, your advantage.

RECENT EVENTS.

General Gordon Granger died of apo
plexy at Santa Fe, New Mexico, on the
10th inst.
Lanes harbor improvement bill ap-
propriates 100000 for Coos Bay, and
100000 for the mouth of Coquille River.
Governor Tilden, after examining the
papers and petition of Edward S. Stokes
for pardon, has denied the application.
DR.. Samuel G. Howe, founder of the
institution for the blind, in the city of
Boston, died on the 9th inst, aged "a
years.
A bill was introduced in the Ohio
State Senate on Tuesday, imposing a
fine of $50 for taking the name of God
in vain.
Timothy Kirby, an old citizen of Gin
cinnati, died on the 10th inst, aged 81,
leaving an estate estimated at between
50, 100000 and S3,OOO,OOO. Among the
few heirs are Don Piatt and Congress-
man H.B. Banning.
Captain Sawyer, of the ship "Or-
pheus," arrested on charge of having
willfully cast away his vessel, was ex-
amined before the United States Com
missioner, in San Francisco last week.
After hearing the evidence, it was de-
cided that the United States had not
made out a case against him, and, on
motion of the District Attorney, he was
discharged.
Rev. DR.. Scudder's church, of Brook
lyn, invited to send delegates to the mu-
tual council called by the Plymouth
Church, has declined to attend, judging
that the question to be laid before the
council would be the guilt or innocence
of Mr.. Beecher. One reason is that the
question has thus far proved insoluble
and is impracticable of solution in this
world. DIR. Scudder himself, and one o
his deacons, favored the acceptance O.
the invitation.
1t is understood that the House com
mittee on foreign affairs has notified
Secretary Fish that it desires to be in

Message Of the Governor Of Utah

The Territorial Legislature of Utah
convened at Salt Lake City on the 10th
inst. The message of Governor Emery
was submitted and read on the after
noon of the 11th. We quote from this
document the following in regard to po-
lygamy:
In meeting this question openly and
fairly, l can but regard it a crime pro-
hibited by the laws of our country, and
that it does violence to the accepted
principles of Christianity. The country
at large recognizes it as blot upon our
civilization. Our National Congress
has enacted laws for its punishment, and
to prevent it's continuance to the pres
ent time. This law has not been prac-
tically enforced, and I am led to believe
that polygamy, or plural marriages, are
of as frequent occurrence as at any time
in the history of the Territory. How
ever this may be, have not the means
of knowing, as these marriage ceremO-
nies are performed by the church, and
are only known to it's members. l am
sensible how delicate my duty becomes
under existing circumstances, when the
gentlemen whom l have the honor OF
addressing, with single exception, be-
lieve in it, and many practice it from q
sense of professed religious right. 1t APP
pears to me, and it must be apparent to
all, that the law should be expunged
from the statutes, or made operative. II
will be gratifying if this body shall en-
act such legislation as will prevent its
extension, and will adopt such meas
ures as will look to fair and impartial
settlement of this subject as it affects
the past. We should remember, gen.
! tlemen, that Utah is not a secluded por-
tion of the United States; that this Ter
ritory was acquired from a foreign
power, like other parts of the country,
with the money and by the valor Of
American arms; that the distance and
the deserts have been annihilated by
the construction and operation of the
Pacific railways; that to-day we are a:
much an integral part of this great Re-
public as any other section, and that We
are bound, as good citizens, to obey the
laws of our common country, whether
they are in accordance with our views
of justice or not. Otherwise we ignore
the constituted authority, aud place
ourselves beyond the pale and protec'
ton Of the government.

WOMEN AND THE LAW.

Most women have an idea, somewhat
underlined, it is true, that the laws re-
garding their property rights discrimi-
nate very unjustly against them in the
disposal of property acquired during the
continuance of the marriage contract.
True, they have heard of "widow's
thirds" "widow's jointure and DOVER"
etc., etc., and may have vaguely won
dered if the laws are so beneficent to
women, why they never hear anything
about "widower's thirds" or disposal of
property after the death of wife.
Let us consult the general laws of Or
egon, and see what light they will
throw upon this subject. We find in
Chap. XVII, l., "that the widow of
every deceased person shall be entitled
to dover, or the use, during her natural
life, of one-third part of all the lands
whereof her husband was seized of
an estate of inheritance, at any time
during the marriage, unless she is ldlO-
fully barred hereOf''-not even one
third, mind you, that shall be her own,
to dispose of in any manner that she
shall see fit, as a widower might do
with the whole estate, but simply one
third to use during her natural life,
unless LAWFULLY barred thereof. But
this is not all, for we find in 13 of the
same chapter that "when a widow is en-
titled to dover in the lands of which her
husband died seized, she may continue
to occupy the same with the children or
other heirs of the deceased, or may re-
receive one-third of the rents, issues,
and profits thereof'-mark now-"so
long as the heirs or others interested do
not object" In other words, widow
may continue to occupy home she has
helped to earn, until some one is seized
Isn't this a strong incentive, women,
toward living a life of economy, toll,
and self-denial, that thereby you may
have a shelter for your age? Don't it
make you feel like saving and scrimp-
ing, doing without things yourselves,
and sitting up nights to turn clothes for
heirs that in turn may, if they choose,
turn you from the home earned by such
pitiful economy?
But do not despair, for we find in 2 q
the following cheering provision, to wit;
"a widow may remain in the dwelling
house of her husband one year after his
death, without being chargeable fol
rent therefor, and shall have her rea,
sonable sustenance out of the estate fol
one year."
Just pause, we beseech you, and con
template the munificence of this mos
munificent proviso. One whole yea
free Of rent in your own house, ant
somebody who knows perhaps nothing
Of your needs to decide what shall b.
reasonable sustenance for the sam
period! Surely women should sit for
ever in abject thankfulness at the fee
of their law-givers, speaking only to ex
tol their bounty.

Grimes Against Women.

We find in the Womar's Journal
large number of paragraphs clipped
from exchanges of recent date, each
paragraph reciting with more or less
minuteness the details of some horrible
crime against a woman. These the
compiler supplements by the following
pertinent remarks:
We are thankful to the press for the
chronicle of this class of facts. They go
far to prove the fiction of woman's pro-
lection by man; a fiction so energet-
ically preached by both press and pull
pit. We see that even self-interest, so
potent ordinarily, is entirely overthrown
by brutal instinct and passion; for it is
uDon wives and mothers of their chill
dren, mostly, that these violent and
often deadly assaults are made by men.
Our "Autocrat" says that ''all men
love all women"-if this be so, by all
means let it be arranged that the feebler
sex have some chance of defense from q
surfeit of violent and unlOoked-for af-
feetion. DIR. Holmes also quotes an old
authority to the effect that "all women
love all men," 1t is a pleasant doc
trine, but if so it is a love nightly
enpeTeu VIII ledTs we SuOulu say
rather that women fear all men, and
love some. Listen to the advice given
by mother to daughter, and you will
hear how women really judge the other
sex.
We are not writing to blame men un-
duly; as Darwin says, they act after
their kind; we are only intent on show
ing the fallaey of the theory of mascu-
line DrotpefiOn and the necessity that
women should have increased power,
social, civil, legal, political, and eeele-
siastical, in order to protect themselves,

A COMMUNICATION.

To THE MEMBERS OF THE ORDER OF CHAM
PIoNs OF THE RED CROSS
Owing to circumstances of which you
are all apprised, our Order in this juris-
diction has been recently left without
an official organ. And, as it is generally
conceded at the present day by people Of
discernment, that societies, like individ-
uals, neither deserve nor can expect
success in their undertakings without
the influence and aid of the public
press, the Grand Executive Committee
have thought it proper to negotiate with
the proprietor of the NEW NORTHWEST
for the publication of our Directory, and
such other matter of interest to the Or
der as may present itself from time to
time. The terms agreed upon are the
same made with the publisher of the
late Star Of the West, and will continue
until the next meeting of the Grand En-
campment. The Champion department
willbe under the direction of the Grand
Executive Committee, and the editorial
control of Mrs. G. A. Coburn, who is an
active and worthy member of the Order.
In adopting the NEW NORTHWEST as
the official organ of the Order in the ju-
risdiction, the Executive Committee
would not be understood as committing
themselves or the Order upon any of the
issues that may be discussed in the body
of the paper, but would accord to every
one the right they severally claim for
themselves-thato of perfect freedom in
political and religious matters. The
Encampments will each see the propri-
ETY. of providing themselves with at
least one copy OF the paper for filing, as
each number is expected to contain
something of greater or less interest to
the Order
Recording Secretaries will please send
the names of their officers to the editor
at once, so that the Directory may be
corrected for the term.
We would also solicit short and
pointed communications from all parts
of the jurisdiction, to the end that our
objects, our aims, and our successes may
be made known to the good people who
should be, but who are not members Of
the Order.
And now, companions, let US all to
lUork. We believe that ours is an or
ganization that deserves to succeed;
and only let it's membership strive for
its up-building as they should, and ulti-
mate triumph is certain.
Fraternally in G. G. H. P. P.
