WHEN AND WHERE TO HOLD THE CONvEN
TON

The question OF the time and place of holding the
next Republican National Convention is being tai'd
about a little these days. Joseph H. Manley. chair
man OF the Executive Committee OF the National
Committee said some time that he was In favor
OF holding the convention early. and making ling
and vigorous campaign Senator E.kins. OF W'st
Virginia last week said that long campaign vas

later than usual When Chauncey NJ Depew WIS
asked about this thing yesterday. ne said:
AS for the place OF holding the convention. being

believe that the convention can be he'd here. There
is a lack OF municipal pride that initiates against
securing the convention. OF course. the memb.rs

Why are women loved, petted, praised
and admired by the opposite sex, and yet
by them classed politically with criminals,
idiots and Cinnamon. Why does the state
constitution provide that mo person
shall on account OF sex be disqualified from
entering upon, or pursuing any lawful
business and deny those of the female
sex the privilege of providing for the
protection of that business?
Why do men declaim against monop-
oily, and yet perpetuate the greatest and
most unjust monopoly on earth. the
monopoly of the ballot?
Why should our magnificent California,
for which women have done and sacrificed
so much lag behind all other states in
recognizing their ability and scrvices?,

this coast which is so far from the &C
cepted cen:ers of American letters.
During the second year of the associa-
TONS life Mrs. Parkhurst's busy hand
and active brain were stilled by death !;
but the more active members to whom
writing meant business to be creditably
performed. set about revising the consti-
tuition, and it was amended SO that the
"object" clause read: ITO promote &C.
quaintance, good fellowship and co-opera-
ton among the women writer's of this
Coast and to advance their professio nal
interests.
Upon this basis the southern branch
rested. 1t soon became evident that the
writer's living in Southern California were
at disadvantage, being unable, with few
exceptions, to attend either the meetings
or annual conventions, which were held
in San Francisco.
Therefore, at the annual meeting in
September, 1898. Mrs. Emma Sickle Mar

ten times over, than has man." Has she?
She has many privileges" that men would
not call rights if the tables were turned,
were men 1.-THE privileged SEX" But
he states a truth when he says, 1.-The
laws are made for men," for this has been
proven true by more than one woman
who has had the misfortune to appeal to
the laws OF her country; though he i'm
mediately departs from the truth in the
next sentence-''W Woman is law unto
herself" Since when has this come to
pass? Since when could woman do one
indiscreet thing-eyen with the best in
sention-and not suffer twice the condem-
nation q man would receive for the same
offense? How can a man, old in the ex-
perience of life, public and private. utter
such nonsense? He says: ''If she is a
widow and lays claim before the court,
it is nearly always granted her-not on
grounds of justice, but by right of her
sex. If she commits a crime, she is not
often punished, unless it be for henous
or atrocious offense, and-if she is pretty,
even then the Jury can't see any guilt in
her case. What a woman lacks in justice
and right she takes in privilege"
This from an Ex-U United States Senator
and Secretary of State, one of our law
makers.
AS for widows, we all know how often
they are swindled by perfectly fair (?)
and legal proceedings-a few such farces
could be mentioned not hundred miles
from Los Angeles.
Or, if she is pretty, the jury in whose
hands we trust the administration of
Justice and for whose maintenance, wo-
men as well as men pay taxes, may lose
it's head over a pretty face. If this be
true then certainly there should be a
change in the legal system. Women have

Der of people understand the origin, its
aims and purposes; or that it is composed
of serious women writer's, who are more
or less active workers along the various
literary lines.
1t is the outgrowth, of the Pacific Coast
Woman's Press Association. The latter
association was organized in San Fran
cisco, September, 1890, chiefly through
the indefatigable efforts of Mrs. Emily
Sevett Parkhurst, now deceased; and was
the result of work of two years labor on
her part, during which time Mrs. Park
hurst had corresponded with nearly all the
women writer's of the coast. The aim
was to promote acquaintance among the
persons of kindred tastes and pursuits,

attempted.
Now as to the Secretarys "screech-

Secretary Carlisle. We can we'll dispense
with their good graces, having such
friends and champions on our lists as
Aberham Lincoln. Charles Sumner. w. II.

Longfellow. Whittier, Emerson, James
Freeman Clark, ex-President Harrison,
Senator Hoar-in fact, all the brightest
statesmen and scholars of the last fifty
years, and the best men in politics and
letters, living today. none of whom have
resorted to the old worn-out dodge OF
"masculinity" when women have asked
for justice.
AS for qualifications, the women who
want to vote are in favor of resting their
claim on the real knowledge of the issues
at stake, and fail to see what "a sweet
face fine bust, small hands and feet,
shapely limbs and fine elbows" have to do
with the case. Yet there are plenty of
women in the suffrage ranks who answer
to these escriptions-though we do not
care to discuss personal appearances-and
as for the angular, grisly. sharp-fea-
tured, ugly creatures" the Secretary
speaks of, they may be found in the blue
grass country, famed as it is for lovely
women; but they are not product OF the
glorious climate of California.

Strange how densely ignorant great (?)
statesmen may become on a subject that
does not concern them. All that nonsense
about when a woman makes up her
mind to have a new carpet on the floor

illogical and has nothing to do with "a

In last Sundays Herald 1.-THE women
who think were treated to a short criti
cism from John Shirly Ward. There was
nothing particularly worthy of notice in
hat be said and had he not tackled on
an alleged interview with Carlisle on this
subject, in his effort to throw a slight on
two of the noblest women living, | would
not be taking up space in your liberal
paper. In passing from Mr.. Ward to Mr..
Carlisle, let me remind Mr.. Ward of the
words OF one of our greatest American
orators: George Washington was
childless that he might become the father
of his country.
There are orators to come who will say
that Susan B. Anthony remained hus-
bandess and childless that she might help
wives and mothers to secure their just
rights. and of Frances f. Willard that she

hood and motherhood that she might be
the tower of strength to and mother
of the 30. 600 women who are banded to-
gether TO help to right some OF the exist
ing wrongs of life. under the name of the
Womans Christian Temperance Union.
The TO nanccs of these two women would
fill volumes. and surely these two great
armies OF the yellow ribbon and the
white ribbon are visible posterity' suffi
cicnt to satisfy any woman who does not
want the earth. AS to Mr.. Carlisle's in

was going the rounds OF the newspapers

language lie should have had one more

1t was not till the year 560--that is,
nearly 800 years after the death of Greg
ory the Illuminator-that the Armenian
church became national In the full mean
ing of that term. Then it adopted the
monophysite doctrine that in Christ there
was but one nature, a heresy which has
never been accepted by any of the western
Protestant churches, by whom the Ar
menian Gregorian or national church
must logically be considered heretical 1t
is possibly owing to this doctrine that the
Armenians use pure wine, without the
addition of any water, in the mass.
Beyond this doctrine and tho nonrecog-
milton of the papal supremacy the Ar
menian church and the Latin differ SO
slightly that when an Armenian Grego-
