THE LADIES PROTEST

We are In receipt Of communication
from the treasurer OF the National
American Woman suffrage association,
IN which attention IL called to a clause
In the bill before Congress concerning
the admission Of the Territories into
the Union, II is one to which the ladies'
object, and .hey desire to have their
protest against It widely known.
The bill proposes to unite oklahoma
and Indian Territories into one state
under the name Of Oklahoma, and to
combine New Mexico and Arizona UNI
der the name Of Arizona. II has passed
the House and Is now before the Sem
ate oommltte on Territories The por-
ton to which special objection is made,
reads.
THAT said state shall never enact
any law restricting or abridgins the
right Of suffrage ON account Of race,
color or previous condition Of serv.-
tude or on account OF any other condi-
lions or qualifications, save and except
or account OF illiteracy minority sex,
conviction Of felony, mental condition,
or residence; provided, however that
any such restrictions shall be made uni
form and applicable alike to an clti'
ems
The ladies justly demand that the
word sea" be stricken from this para
graph They object to placing women
IN one class with illlterates, minors
felons. and mnatics This Is, OF course,
very often done In a spirit OF gallantry'
when women criminals are treated as
irresponsible beings, outside the reach
OF law. but that Ia different To I'M
clude officially mothers, wives, and SIS

lectIonable paragraph, ia nm outrage

ties
The proposed congress Is sure Of rep
resentatiyes from the United States and
Mexico, from this side Of the world and
from Great Britain. France and Deh-
mark, from the other Russia Is said
to have declined and Germany may
possibly take the clew from Russia. But
mos, Of the smaller states Of Europ-
are certain 10 join the congress, no
quite respectable representation IA
really assured Il the project takes def
mite form. HUT OF this there Is, We fear,
little prospect, until the questions TO be
discussed are formulated. Russlas
friends pretend to suspect that under
the peace congress plans Is concealed a
scheme for interfering with the war,
and they are Of course not willing TO
appear In collision with possible schem-
ers.
Il Is to be hoped that the congress
VIII be held at all events, and that rep
resentatlyes win be chosen who are In
spired with the grand work that must
be distinctive Of the twentieth century
the work for peace among men and
the unity Of the human family.
