THE MORNING SESSION.
Feminine Views on Politics to Fit
the Needs Of the

The First Congregational Church, with a
comfortable capacity for 5000 people, was
crowded yesterday morning when the
fourth days session of the woman's con-
gress was called to order. Half an hour
later the church was jammed.
Politics in the Home" was the general
subject, and it was very evident that the
women and many of the men of San Fran
cisco were eager to hear the views of the
members of the woman's congress on such
an all-absorbing topic.
The first paper, as the Family the Unit
of the State?" was intrusted to the care
of Mrs. Alice Moore McComas of Los An
geles, who was introduced by the president
as one of the most interchangeable and sue
cessful workers in the cause of woman in
the State.
~ would like to say word" said Mrs.
McComas, (which l have not as yet had
the opportunity to utter. On behalf of the
woman's parliament, the Friday Club and
my own club. the Woman's Suffrage Club
OF Los Angeles, give you an invitation
to hold your next congress in Southern
California"

Concern and the Home.


royal splendor while the MANY are battling for
plttance with which to keep soul and body
together? Can 1t ever be recognized as right
and control the natural and acquired means of
sustaining human life while the multitude beg
ior WORK even at the smallest compensation;
pre-empted their rights to all independent
livelihood? Is 1t just that one mans labor
increases another mans wealth while the
sinks almost to the level of the beast of burden?
Until women in the family-ofttimes the
burden bearers-realize this monstrous con-
bers sufficient to overthrow such glaring injus-
tice, the State will remain as it isl
why 90 say women must do this? Because
the men nave not succeeded In doing 1t alone !
This new element must be brought into activ-
1ty.. with the cooperation of men who realize
their need, 1t will If wisely utilized re-orsanize
our social and political systems
So, the awakened woman reads the signs of
the times; is realizing the necessity of q larger

such that they could bear properly bal
anced children.
Miss Sarah NJ. Severance of College Park
was called upon to give her views on
Suffrage and Safeguard"
After few preliminary remarks of a
general nature concerning the argument
OF men against the suffrage question about
Dragging women down into the filthy
pool of politics. Miss Severance ventured
the assertion that woman was already SUBJ
merged, and then she went on to describe
the pitiful condition of the little Johnnie,
the six-year-old son of the mother of the
land, wading through the political life.
Her satire was pointed and the audience
enjoyed the picture she drew.
"As little Johnnie walks the streets"
she continued, 'he remembers what his
mother has told him about being good and
noble and pure. But mother has no con-
troll of the streets. On every side of little

year? There is nothing degrading in poll
tics. Politics is the science of government.
1t is Gods law as to the correlation of
human beings. Nobody is degraded by
politics. The degradation comes by leav-
ing it to the degraded.
They say that if women should vote it
would take away a certain indeinable
grace that hedges around every woman.
Well, if the blush and the bloom about
which you hear SO much is to be
taken away, the sooner woman is I'M
blushed and unbloomed the better for her.
And, as for woman's wonderful angelic
qualities, we have no authentic woman
angels, and it pains me to confess that the
only angels with whom l am acquainted
are Michael. Gabriel, Ariel and Sandalfo,
all glorified men,"
Miss Severance then went on to recite to
the congress some OF the things the women
had asked the Legislature and the Gov
ernor of California to do for them. They
had asked that the age of consent in girls

, now bring slur upon our boosted love of JUS
tice and independence. The gradual emanci-
patton of womanhood in the family will build
up manhood in the State. Nothing short of
this will enable women to hold power and in
huence in the State.
One of the most potent causes of the present
unrest and disorganization in our social and
industrial fabrics is the lack of self-control in
the people. Lack of moral responsibility in
families, the disposition, even among chill
dren, 20 overreach each other, Is the result of
the common greed and excessive competition
which exists everywhere. The temptations for
life of ease and luxury are hard to resist and
are none too much guarded against in any
grade OF life. Nor is the yielding to these
temptations wrong in one sense. 1t is in
herent in all human nature to love the beauti-
full and the comfortable. AS long these
privileges are obtained without dishonesty
and deceit it improves the family and the in
dividual. But is 1t right that we should have
in this land OF plenty-this land where we are
told every man is born free"-such conditions
and poverty, comfort and misery?
Is It right for a few people to live In almost
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-05-24

topics are strange to her she uses her own
good sense 10 make principles of her own.
She never quotes from book or an author.
She tells you what this man said to her,
what that woman said about her and she
has not spared the women of the congress
the history of their early heresy.
She has something to say and says it
forcibly and simply. But she is an actor,
not talker-a woman of sense rather than
woman of brains.
The Rev. Anna Shaw has both sense and
brains. She is an impuIsive, enthusiastic
speaker; her voice is full and very pleas
ant. Miss Shaw must be very good-na-
tured and quite as quick She is
impatient of shams. of cowardice and of
the patent, stereotyped objections to
woman suffrage. She has no particular
reverence for mans opinion simply be-
cause it is mans. She speaks quickly and
clearly, using vigorou. words, deadly sta
tistics and excellent judgment in the choice
| of argument. She is always ready to speak,
and she is happiest in discussion, for she
is able to compress a thought into few
words. to pick out the sentimental flaw
in sentiment and to see the ridiculous side
of things.
Miss Shaw Is original, quite fearless and
there is something very human about her.
She is the comedy element of the con-
gress, but her humor is not undignifed,
and when she is serious there is not a
woman in the hall whose speech is so eff
fective.
Charlotte Perkins Stetson is not so hui
man as Miss Shaw, nor so blunt as Miss
Anthony. Her comedy is largely face
comedy and her tragedy is too serious.
Yet she is the most graceful and the most
logical speaker in the congress. She knows
how to give weight to her words, and her
words are worthy of significant utterance.
Mannerisms and Alterations aside and
Mrs. Stetson has not the self-unconscious-
ness which dignities every utterance of
Miss Anthony and Miss Shaw, and which
is the redeeming feature of public speaking
for women. Mrs. Stetson is the pleasantest
and cleverest speaker of the congress.
Like Miss Anthony and Miss Shaw, she
never reads from paper; her address is
delivered in far-reaching, well-pitched
tone; there is not the appearance of effort
which detracts from ones pleasure in

If the women of the congress could vote,
these three women are the ones on whom
they would bestow political honors. The
speakers whose addresses are remarkable
only by reason of their egotism or their
ignorance would no doubt be solicitous
office-seekers, but they would not be
chosen to represent body which includes
women of intellect, of good taste, of good
sense, of brains and of heart

1--WE receive the message with great
pleasure" said the president.
Amid the warnest kind of applause,
Mrs. McComas plunged into the middle Of
her subject. She said, in part:
Of all the institutions of government the
family is the Oldest Historians do not agree
as to the exact process of its formation, but
they all admit that from the family has come
every Institution of civil government. These
historians tell US how, in early times, groups
OF individuals were formed into families and
again from these little groups of families and
Linsiolk clustered around spring or along
flowing stream, where they built their rude
huts and drank from the same water and TILED
the same soil. and finally grew into the state
or community at first called "Tunescippa !"
We trace the progress of government from the
pstriarchal family, the Tunescippa, the one
hundred, the Councils, the Saxon conquest
the rule OF the court of mobiles, the military
reign, the shire, the parish, the Norman con-
quest, with its feudal system, the divine right
of kings, and finally our own colonies and
States, through revolution to evolution, until
to-day we have at least q semblance. in Amer

Interchangeable fixture in the moving universe;
that we must not meddle with that divine in
stitution called family affairs
But it is absurd to ignore the principle of
evolutionary progress and improveme in one
department of civilization while accepting 1t in
all others. We have no more business with the
pntria rchial family to-day than we have with
the Tunescippa,. the feudal system, priestly
mummeries, tabled heavens and hells, bloody
sacrifices, the waffle hut, the wooden plough or
the hreech clout of barbsric ages. The family
civilization must keep pace in evolution with
the national civilization.
Our present civilization, however, counte-
nances many wrongs. While it has made for
ward strides in art, literature, invention and
scientific discovery, the body polite is full of
social corruption and economic disease. 1t is
the victim of wild extravaganza on the one
hand and abject penury on the other; and not
until these evils are eliminated and q more
equable standard of public wealth established
can we call ourselves civilized. But when the
whole family is recognized as the living en-
bodiment of civilized government, there may
be possibility OF improving conditions which
