women to commit sin and be respect
able, and they never will, and when
women get the power they will not allow
the men tho wholesale liberty to sin
that they now have and be respectable.
The kind Of laws we have to govern
women prove that these are the kind of
men who entered into the sanctuary of
the government, into the holy place Of
the nation, and then proceeded to enact
laws to govern helpless women and in
nocent children, whose interests they
had sworn to protect. Men argue that
women are represented by their fathers,
husbands, brothers and sons; l know
many women whose husbands nsSrepre-
sent them; they have different views on
the tariff, on suffrage, on the liquor ques-
tion and various other differences.
Neither do their other male relatives
represent them. Sometimes they have
no relatives. Then if we have no voice
in making laws, how long have we
guarantee of the continuance Of such
laws as are now in our favor? What is
to hinder change for the worse at any
time for women, when we have no power
to protect the few privileges we now
have? Our Populist sister, Mrs. S. E.
V. Emery, says: "If it is the husbands
prerogstiVe to represent his wife at the
ballot box, would not justice demand
that he should also represent her behind
prison bars and on the gsllows?" She
has no voice in making the laws by
which she is condemned, not even so
much as choice in the election Of the
sheriff who hangs her or the jsiler who
has her in custody.
Does it not look like absolute incon-
sisteneyP Deep-rooted prejudice is the
foundation of the opposition to womsn's
enfranchisement. If there are any OBJ
jectors here, let me say to you that you
are deep in the rut which knows no
progress. In Wyoming, brightest star
in our union
"The brightest jewel Of our crown,
Wyoming, king and queen Of states,
The world shall hear Of thy renOWn,
For peace shall dwell within thy gates
The world shall hear Ofthy renOwn,
The fame shall spread from town to town;
Mankind upon thy mandate waits.
ave hail thy cOmlUg with delight.
Sweet morning star, we saw thee rise
After long vlglS Of the night;
Thy blessed coming filed our eyes
With happy tears; yea, through the night
We waited longing for this sight,
Yet greet thee now with glad surprise"
Wyoming, where equal rights have not
caused domestic strife, where disorderly
elements are held in check at the polls
by the presence of women, where woman
commands the same respect at the bal
lot box as when she enters stores, banks,
fairs or public meetings, where the
right to hold her own property has made
her more useful and successful. When
suffrage becomes the substitute of civili-
zation for physical power and the sword
in civil affairs, it will prove that the en-
forcing power behind all law lies in the
opinion Of the voters which finds express
sion in the ballot and is always effective.
The broad-minded practical women of
the Farmers Alliance, headed by our
leaders, Mary E. Lease and Annie L.
Diggs, have been the chief factors in
bringing about the great growth Of

MANS INHUMAN1TY TO WOMAN,


Another year has rolled around, and
this is another election day for officers Of
this lodge. / am sure you will agree
with me that | have not caused you the
unrest and discomfort promised on the
"woman's rights theme when you hon
ored me with the Office Of assistant lec-
turer. But on this, the last day in this
official capacity, will sndeavor to make
good my promise. l 60 about this with
out fear or trembling, knowing that my
sisters in the Alliance will bear me out
in what consider it my duty to say to
the brotherhood. Hawthorne says: "I
can assure you that trouble is the next
thing to enjoyment, and that there is no
fate in the world 80 horrible as to have
no share in either its joys or it's sorrows" !"
II this be true, and as men court hsppi-
ness, it is necessary, then, that they
share in woman's sorrow and happiness,
and, therefore, for your own future COM
fort, we do not intend to allow you to
shirk the responsibility that will soon de-
volve upon you as voters. Men seem to
have inherited a feeling of superiority
over women, especially mentally and
physically, although object lessons with
out number have been given to under
mlne these deep-rooted habits Of thought
and long established ideas as to woman's
incapscity to fill any place, only the
sphere to which man, not God, has as
signed her, and 1t makes us ashamed to
over and over again refer to the indigni.
ties and unjust laws, both statutory and
of custom, that social and political in
huence have brought to bear upon the
degradation Of womRn's liberty. But "as
sure as daylight finds it's way through
shades and blinds, so sure will the truth
permeste and saturste the mental
atmosphere Of mankind" and they will
see how mistaken they have been.
The multiplied teachings Of reformers
ON this line have awakened q spirit OF
inquiry all over the civilized world and
people are beginning to take some inter
est and show spirit Of justice, and yet
we have to beg for fsVors.
You remember how our representative
women at the st. Louis and Omaha con-
ventions pleaded in vain with the peo-
ple's delegates to put a woman's suffrage
plank in the platform Of the new party.
They pleaded with an eloquence born of
divine inspiration that caused those men
to weep like children; and / know the
angels looked on the scene and hung
their heads in shame for the poor, weak
mortals who dared not, for the sake Of
expediency, give helping hand to un-
lock the fetters that bound their sisters
hands, after they had stood with them
in the front of the battle that brought
the Peoples party into existence. And
for the sake Of harmony, Of policy, Of ex-
pediency, we had to hold our demands
in allegiance But did we gain by itH l
think not; for the south, the very peo-
pie for whom we made the concession,
only gave us the votes they would have
given anyway, while many in the north
who love justice would have cast their
votes with us il we had not been so
cowardly as to leave out the suffrage
plank. Our party is q party for reform,
and when we fail to meet the vital issues
Of kha dnu wa snffar tharahv- and wa
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-03-29

not induce their tyrsnnical husbands to
deed them any Of the property. As I
have said, in the event Of wife's death
the husband gets all the property, and in
nine cases out of ten marries again and
squsnderS the share that belonged to his
first wife and children. and l have
known many first wives to die from over
work and loads of care and responsibility
brought on by endesvoring to get start
in the world. When women vote, there
will be an equal division of property;
and when the mother dies the father
will get his share and the children the
mothers share. Does this frighten you
from casting your vote for equal rights?
Why, then, do you belong to an organi-
zstion that has for its motto, Equal
rights for all and special privileges for
none?"
Take the men of this nation, and are
you not privileged class? Let US see:
The Declaration of Independence recites
that governments derive their just pow
ers-notics what I say, just powers
from the consent Of the governed. / ask
you, are the women governed? Can we
commit crime and 60 unpunished? Can
we own property and not pay tax? You
cannot deny that the women Of this
country are a conspicuous. part of the
people and are citizens just as much as
men. There are to-day in these United
States over 100000 disfranchised
women Of suitable age and citizenship
who could exercise the right Of suffrage
If the voters Of this nation had not un-
justly withheld it from them. 1t is true
that tbs laws Of Kansas as they affect
women are superior to most states. But
in thirty-eight states q married mother
is not the legal owner Of her own child;
in some of our states a father may will
away his unborn babe before the mother
has given it birth. It may by law be-
come the property Of any one the father
may choose, even if it be the mothers
bitterest enemy.
Can you wonder that we women rise
in rebellion over this insult to mother
hood? These laws were made by cruel,
unjust and wicked men to whom this
power was delegated by the votes Of men.
Think Of this and feel your RESPONSE
bility in this matter and let the Truth
cut into your hearts like two-edged
sword. You cannot blame me if ] probe
deep enough to fix the responsibility
where it belongs. In many states the
mother is not only deprived OF the
ownership Of her child, but Of her earn
ings and her clothing. You all know
that it is an exception when woman re-
ceives the same pay that man does for
doing the same work just as well, or
better than men, yet she pays the same
rent same tax, same railroad fare, same
for food and clothing. Is this equality
for all aud special privileges for none?
But the world is improving slowly.
Wives in England were bought from the
fifth to the eleventh centuries, and in
deed as late as the seventeenth century
husbands Of decent station beat their
wives, and women were publicly whipped;
and in our own history we read of scold-
ing brides and ducking stools for
women. Can you hesitate to amend as
far as possible "man's inhumanity to-
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-03-29

suffrage for. women. To the Peoples
party, made up chiefly of the industrial
classes, Of which there is alarge member
ship Of women, is due this rapid growth
Of sentiment that has been continually
checked by the two old parties. The re-
publican party has but little share in
paving the way for this great reform,
and / believe would never have done
anything under it's present leadership
unless forced to do 80. The democratic
party can lay no claim to it as party,
but rejoice to know that individually
both republicans and democrats are
many Of them in favor Of equal rights for
women. The result of the vote on this
question in twenty months from now re-
n aims to be developed, and most Of you
no doubt think the verdict will depend
largely upon the women. That il the
women want the privileges of enfran-
chisement, tEey will unanimously ask for
1t. But let me say to you that more de-
ponds upon you voters than upon the
women citizens who have not the right
to support their views and wishes at the
ballot-box, and, therefore, cannot carry
good intentions into action. The advo-
Gates of womRn's lack of desire to in
crease her political responsibilities must
remember that the masses Of the women
are not organized, and I am sorry to say
that the great mass of women have been
kept in ignorance like the great army Of
ignorant voters, and do not know that
they ought to have any rights other than
they enjoy. They do not know that the
world belongs to them; not one woman
out Of FIVE even suspects that the laws as
they affect women are many Of them
seriously defective. Under the old Rd-
ministrstion Of the law, party interest
demanded that the attention OF all
women should be kept diverted from
direct attack on the property rights Of
women, and heretofore, and even at
present, in many instances where women
investigate the laws and look after their
rights, they are made to feel that they
have made an unlawful departure from
the sphere which man has prescribed for
her. AS / said before, women are not
oIgsnized; true, there are women's clubs
springing up in almost all centers, large
and small. Associations, mutual aid So
cieties. industrial organizations, ETC.,
hitherto unconquered realms, are open
ing their doors to women, and are daily
furnishing striking proofs Of the growth
of opinion on equality for women.
The objection brought out by some is
that women treat municipal suffrage with
indifference. am safe in say
ing this is only true where no important
issues are at stake. / have talked with
women on the SUBJECT, and find that
they feel very different about state
rights. In state elections there are al
ways issues at stake that command and
demand their attention, and it will be a
constant source Of surprise to the male
voters to see what interest and ambition
will characterize the woman voter in the
exercise of this wider power.
1t is false to say that the laws Of Kan
sas are oonspieuously jast to women.
There is a great distinction shown be-
tween men and women in regard TO
