A RECENT CONVERT.
Mrs. DIR. Gibbons Is Heartily in
Favor of Suffrage.

l have only recently become a convert,
so to speak. TO the idea of female suffrage.
l have always had. and do have, great in
terest in the politics of the country, but to
engage personally in the matter of votin &
or to give the subject any more than pass
ing notice l have not done until lately. but
l believe now 1t would be to the best in
terests of the country if women were
granted the franchise. Of course, If edu-
cation could be made the basis or standard
of voting. then there would be no doubt of
1t, but as that has not been done on one
side, it could not be expected on the other.
The fact is to be deplored that 80 many
intelligent men stay away from the polls.
But if these mems wives had the same
right, two intelligent votes no doubt would
be cast instead Of none.
The question of woman's suffrage is one
that has great many sides. and l do
not pretend to know much about it,
But if granted the right l should
certainly vote. and l certainly advo-
cate the movement. 1 notice. too, that
other women are gradually taking more
interest in the question. In meetings
where these questions are apt to be dis
cussed, it is listened TO with more atten-
ton than formerly. and the sentiment is
received with more favor. 1 am heartily
in favor of il. MRS. HENRY GIBBONS.

ping noise, followed by shrek. The
plank had broken and the workmen who
had been sitting upon it were hurled head
long to the floor. fifty feet below.
Underwood was killed instantly. His
skull was crushed and many of his bones
were broken.
The little group of Mortified spectators
that gathered around the mangled bodies
turned from him TO Harkinson.
He is alive" said one. and another ran
to the Cliff House to summon doctor.
The physician came. but no one in the
bathhouse required his skill. Harkinson
lived but eight minutes. His skull had
also been crushed by the fall and he was
unable to speak from the moment his head
struck the stone floor until he died. A
cloth was thrown over the bodies and they
remained where they had fallen until re-
moved by Deputy Coroner Carew.
The dead men were young and unmar-
ried. Underwood lived at Kroger's Hotel,
on the Ocean Beach road. He has no
known relatives in this city. Harklnson
lived on Jessie street, near Fifth. He was
native of Sweden, and was about 81
years old.
An examination of the broken plank re-
vealed the cause of the accident in false
grain near the middle. The combined
weight Of the two men, who were working
ide by side, caused 1t to break at this
point The res onsibiIity for the accident
will not be determined until the Coroner's
Jury meets.

The right of women to vote is question
which has long since attained the proper
tons of problem.
In no country has 1t been considered so
seriously as in the United States. L. sew
ersl States women have the suffrage in
school board elections, while in Kansas,
notably, they have the full suffrage. The
result of this in the charming personality
Of Mrs. Lease has occasioned grim laugh
ter throughout the country.
Whether woman suffrage will become
national is a question which an attempt
will be made to answer in the Congress of
Women, which opens to-day. To the keen
observer the chief obstruction to the move
ment Is with women themselves. How
ever alluring the right to vote may seem
TO the male; however much blood has been
shed to extend that right. it must be con-
fessed that all women are not anxious to
obtain the privilege of voting.
There are some who even think that q
womau's best place is at home, like the
Roman matroD, training good citizens for
the republic. In fact all over the country
women are divided on the question. A
canvass of some of the leading ladies of
of the gentler sex, like their sisters of
other localities, are not unit In the cause.
They all betray great interest in the
doings of the coming congress, but they
don't all advocate women's suffrage. Some
of them. with the high sense of duty so
characteristic of the sex, declare they
would vote as q duty. but they are not
especially desirous of having that duty
placed upon their shoulders. Indeed, the
feeling is about evenly divided, as it
always proves to be. when inquiry is made
on the subject.
One lady well known here took the
position that the Pacific Coast is not yet
ready for the question and that it would
be better suited to the Eastern States.
She thought the shock would be too great
for this coast.
Shock or no shock the Woman's Con-
gress will take the matter up at its
meetings, which from all Indications will
be we'll attended. In the meantime the
views of mum Der of prominent ladies, as
given to representative of THE CALL,
will be read with interest.

am decidedly in favor Of the ballot for

accruing to her from absolute liberty of

one-half the country to speak for the other

II the mental powers Of woman had not
become inactive she would not have been
willing to remain for centuries what Moses
made her-the property of man. Had
man turned his earnest attention to this
subject he would long ago and without
solicitation have given woman equal op-
portunties with himself for education
and equal compensation for the work of
her hands and brain. This possession
would make woman an equal and thinker.
The vitalization that is the result OF men,
tai activity would greatly increase
woman's usefulness in the world. She
does not and would not willingly abandon
the heaven-appointed duties of home and
motherhood. That is something no con-
dition of life can change. The men,
tai occupations and activities that have
developed mans aDtness for organization
would work the same result in the brain
of woman. This power the majority OF
women would choose to use in her home,
which certainly would be benefit to man.

WHY SHE FAVORS 1T.
Miss Agnes Tanning Thinks the Suf-
frage Would Elevate Woman,


If there is any good in the ballot. why.
1 think decidedly woman ought to have it !;
and if there is not any good in it, why
have men fought and clamored so much
over it? / think that the proposition that
granting the franchise to woman would
increase the ignorant vote Is very falla-
cious argument against it. / know that
question is always asked and used in an
Argument
If it should increase the ignorant vote
then it ought to be increased. Because IL
that class of men have been interested
with the importance of a vote and a say
in the laws of this great country then their
wives and daughters should have the same
right.
do not think though that the ignorant
vote is the worst thing to contend az ainst.
II is the vicious voting. Give US high civil
service reform and do away with this
demagogism, and in another generation
our public schools will solve the problem
of ignorant voting.
A good argument in favor of woman's
suffrage is. that since 1869, for twenty-five
years in Wyoming, women have enjoyed
the privilege of franchise. and the Chief
Justice of that State stated in his last re-
port that there have been fewer murders,
robberies and crimes committed in that
State than in any other in the Union, and
also stated that the social evil fed from
Wyoming, where the first woman sat upon
jury.
If did not earnestly and sincerely be-
lieve it would elevate ana educate woman
certainly would not advocate it. Woman
has woman to thank for the advancement
she enjoys to-day. l certainly favor any.
thing which will be of advantage to
woman. AGNES MANNING.

AN EARNEST ADVOCATE.
Mrs. A. A. Sargent Thinks Women
Should Have Equality.

] am confirmed woman suffragist, and
have been for the last twenty years or
more, and ! really think one of the reas-
ons why / became so was of the ridicule
that was made of women voting. such as
''they would vote for the best-lookins
man," and sell their vote for a yard of rib
bon. What 1 want is equality. think
women should have the same right in the
government of the country as men. do
not think great amount Of good would
come at once in granting the franchise to
women. but all true reforms are related to
one another, and this is certainly step in
the right direction.
l think women do themselves an Injustice
when they say they say they do not want
to vote, and encourage men in the injustice
of depriving them Of what should be their
right.
AS to women holding public office, do
not think they could be any more corrupt
in their government than men have been
and are. When positions of tr ust have
been given them they have proven worthy.
l should feel no hesitancy about going to
the polls and voting among mixed gath
ering of men. l meet men every day every
where go. live in the same house with
them, ride in the cars with them ana meet
them everywhere. l believe the same
courtesy that most men are inclined to
show women would prevail at voting
places. But all that would regulate itself
with the privilege, II it comes. At any
event, am not in the least afraid of the
lions supposed to be in the way. / do not
think that home interests will suffer any
in the event of woman's suffrage. The
woman who wants to neglect her home
would do so any way. That is an issue OF
little moment. There certainly would be
no discredit in the possible neglect if
woman was doing a duty of honor and
trust Mrs. A. A. SARGENT.

been undergoing a gradual change, and
now feel that no greater disaster could
overtake the count try than that of granting
the franchise TO women.
Think of the thousands OF women in the
United States who cannot speak English.
Think of the thousands Of colored women
in the South. / have been told often that
there are thousands of men in the United
States whose votes can be bought for 81
each. If that is true there are thousands
of women whose votes can be bought Tor
% cents each. and that sum would no
doubt be pocketed by the man. These
women would vote as their husbands or
sons dictated, and in no way would their
vote be of any benefit to the sex or to the
country. 1t would simply be adding to the
ignorant male vote. and the two together
would be large enough to create chaos at
the first election.
think property-owners who pay taxes
should have a vote. The law now favors
taxation without representation, and to
that [ am opposed.
l do not believe that the franchis would
elevate woman. 1t does not seem to Gle
vate man, and this is not an age of mira
Giles. 1t is very true that the body polite
is in a bad way. aud that corruption and
bribery sit in high places. Then how could
inexperienced women change what men,
with all their knowledge and experience,
have not been able 10 prevent?
If men would do their duty there would
be no need for the purifying influence of
women. 1t is men who have. do and will
make the nations what they are, and it is
for them to see that right and justice pre-
vail.
do not consider the educated American
woman even qualified TO vote. She has for
generations been the most protected. cher
ished and privileged creature in the civil
lied world, and in order to vote intelli-
gently she would have to become differ
ent kind Of woman, and l should be
sorry to see her changed. She is just right
as she is, to my thinking. Should l vote If
the franchise was granted woman? Oh.
yes, certainly, it would then become a
duty, but think no greater harm could
come to the country than that Of granting
universal suffrage.

What Mrs. Cooper Considers the
Great Obstacle to Female Suffrage.

What Mrs. Cooper Considers the
Great Obstacle to Female Suffrage.
Ii all good women would exercise the
right Of franchise l believe that woman's
suffrage would ameliorate the condition of
woman. But in point of fact, large
majority of women manifest little interest
in the question of suffrage. This palpable
indifference in regard to securing the priv
i.ege is evidence of the absence of !any
very extended dissatisfaction with their
present position.
Female suffragists find their most FORM
liable opponents are among their own sex.
The ballot can never regulate pay for
work. Look at the thousands of men who
are out of employment to-day. If the bal
lot could ameliorate their condition their
families would not lack for bread. be-
lieve the ballot in the hands of woman,
provided every good and true woman
would vote, would do much toward solving
the problem of imtsmperance and crime In
the community.

because he dislikes to appear to disadvan-

Would it make woman less womanly !?
Some of the noblest women of the world l
met at the Woman's Congress in Chicago
at the Worlds Fair-the grandest type of
wives and mothers from nearly every ma
ton, eager and ready to listen to this ques-
ton of suffrage. The way to make a
nober race is to make nobler wives and
others by expanding the sympathy and
enlarging and elevating the energies of
woman of the world. The woman who is
nothing else than wife and mother is no
more the highest type of wife and mother
than q man who is nothing else than hus-
band and father is the highest type Of a
husband and father. 1t is mistake to
suppose that a woman can bring uD chill

RIGHT VS.. EXPEDIENCY.
How Mrs. Ralph &. Harrison Would
Favor Woman's SUFFRAGE.

As matter of absolute right / see no
reason why a woman should not have as
much voice as q man in adopting the laws
by which society is to be governed. but as
a matter of expedency and of social policy
/ think it better for her to leave these mat
ters to men and devote herself to those
duties to which she is better qualified.
If the right of suffrage could be limited
to those who are fitted to exercise it there
might be an advantage in extending it to
woman. but the effect of giving it to all
women would multiply the intelligent vote
and increase the existing objection to uni
versal suffrage.

possession of property to even a small
amount. then l think suffrage for both

1ections the influence brought to bear in
favor OF the question will be so strong
that we shall see universal suffrage In a

myself in the question under the present
existing circumstances I would not do so
and would not take a step to help the

iDadequacy. l should vote il it became
