WOMAN SUFFRAGE
MEETS DEFEAT.
Junior Mechanics Listen to
a Debate on the
Subject.
SPIRITED FORENSIC DUEL
Colonel Fox Calamity Comes to
the Rescue of the
Oppressed.
ERUDITI0N AND EL0QUENCE.
DR.. Fitch Paints a Fearful Picture
of the Disasters That
Would Follow.
ERUDITIoN AND ELoQUENCE.

debate upon the question of woman
suffrage was held last night at 30 O'Farrell
street under the auspices of Alexander
Hamilton Council No. 35, Junior Order of
United American Mechanics.
Colonel George w. Fox opened the de-
bate in favor of woman suffrage, and in
the course of his remarks said: "The
fundamental idea of republic is that
every individual member is unit in the
government. The question is, Shall the
rights of any citizen be abridged?
By the constitution women are citizens.
Numerous decisions declare that woman
is citizen, with the rights of citizen,
except that the privilege OF voting may be
given or denied at pleasure by the State.
By the Declaration of Independence the
Government derives its powers from the
consent of the governed. Who are the
governed? Women as well as men. There
fore no distinction can be Justly made be-
tween the individual members of the
governed body. If woman suffrage is right
it will triumph, and l venture to declare
that within the memory of nearly all
present woman suffrage will have
triumphed.
You may say your mother did not vote.
Young man, your father did, and that is
why yOu diC yOu are lO-QdJ. nc
day has passed when woman suffrage was
discussed by long.haired men and short
haired women. 1t will be argued that
women will have the power to change the
political complexion of this country. /
am thankful that they WILL"
DR.. Fitch in reply said: ''I fail to see
why doubling the number of votes would
improve matters. If three men cause cor
ruption, fail to see why the addition to
them of three women would decrease cor
ruption. l claim that woman suffrage is
only one OF the symptoms of woman's
rights, and woman's rights, by drawing
women from the family to the professions
and business of man, tends to destroy the
family, and consequently is in imical to our
civilization. The trouble is that our women
are doing mems duties, not women's. The
Introduction of woman into the various
avocations of life has reduced mem wages
so much that they cannot afford to marry >,
and the family organization necessarily
declines very rapidly. And it is a matter
of fact that where, as in New Zealand,
| woman suffrage has been introduced, de-
crease in the birth rate. and hence in the
building up of the family organization,
has followed
After brief closing speech by Colonel
Fox a vote was taken among the audience
as to the merits of the debate, and it was
decided by considerable majority that
the opponent of woman suffrage had made
| the best presentation.

men in the next Legislature will not defeat
the charter after its ratification by the
people of this City. Secretary Freud ad-
vised also the holding of mass ss-meetings in

requested to appoint two delegates to form

attending to the interests of the proposed
charter during the coming campaign.
James d. Phelan spoke in favor of the
motion of Mr.. Perkins. He evoked round
OF applause by remarking that San Fran
cisco had no government worthy of the
name.
Mr.. Perkins resolution was adopted
unanimously.
g. IL. kaufman, florist, read paper in
which he urged the removal from the
street corners of the venders of flowers
who ply their vocation to the great injury
OF florists who pay rent, taxes, etc. He
recommended that the association call
upon the Chief of Police to rid the streets
once and forever of these ''foreign pests"
Mr.. Kaufman waxed quite poetical and
wound up with grand flourish. Where
upon some one made motion to lay Mr..
Kaufman's paper on the table, and it was
SO ordered unanimously amid laughter.

Mrs Henry Prien, in whose honor the San
Francisco Schuetzen Verein had assem-
bled. Mr.. Prien being the leader of the
Verein band, had made himself a host of
warm friends among his countrymen.
Hence it was that the hall was crowded
with the Schuetzens and their families.
After the grand march the assembled
guests circled around the center table,
where d. B. Faktor, president of the
Nerein, made the presentation address,
accompanying which was a case of solid
silver dinner service. To this mark OF es-
TEEN and respect from his friends Mr..
Prien feelingly responded. On behalf of
the ladies Mrs. John Thode presented
Mrs. Prien with an elegant bronze clock
and statue. To this an appropriate re-
sponse was made by the recipient, who,
surrounded by her six children, the Rev.
Mr.. Buehler, who united her to her hus-
band twenty-five years ago, and host of
warm, personal friends, looked the pic
ture of happiness and contentment.
The arrangements of the entertainment
in its details were perfect, for which Cap
tain John Bolts, H. +. Mas and Lieuten-
ant John Thode received the congratula-
tions of those present.
After the presentations had been made
John Lankenue took charge of the floor
and directed the dancing until the sup
per hour was announced. Then ali took
their places around the festive board and
enjoyed themselves, as the Germans know
how, to their hearts content.
