There can be no good counsel with

not by women alone, not by men
alone, but government of men and
women, by men and women, for men
and women-this is the ann and ideal
of our association. One hundred
years ago Oregon was an untrodden
wilderness. The transformation of
that primeval territory into prosper
Gus communities, enjoying the high
est degree OF civilization, could not
have been accomplished without the
work of women. No restriction should
be placed upon energies and abilities
so potent for good. The extension
of the right of suffrage would re-
move a handicap from the efforts of
women and give them an opportunity
to work for the welfare of the state
I'VE do not claim that women's
voice in the government would at
once sound the death knell to all
social and political evils. But we do
believe that a government represent
ing the interests and beliefs of WON
n and ren would prove itself, and
is proving itself, where it now ex-
lists, TO be better government than
one which represents the interests
and beliefs of men alone The move
ment for the enfranchisement of
women is based upon the unchanging
and Interchangeable principles of hui
man liberty, in accordance with
which successive classes of men have
won the right of self-government.
"On such a foundation ultimate
victory is assured-and, in truth, is
conceded. even by those who oppose.
The day is ever drawing nearer when
the nation will apply to women the
principles which are the very founda-
tons of its existence; when, on every

WOMAN SUFFRAC|STS
MEET IN PORTLAND

eral hundred women filled the coy
auditorium of the First Congrega-
tional church this morning and the
thirty-seventh annual convention of
the National American Woman Suf-
frage association got under way un,
der enthusiastic auspices. Tn.
church was tastefully decorated, the
most noticeable emblem being what
is called the woman's flag, which
contains the usual number of stripes,
but only five stars, one for each of
the states which, by their cOnstitu-
tions, have granted the right of suf-
frage to women. None the less. all
the states of the Union were repre-
scented. The delegations were assign
ed to particular pews marked off by
little banners and blaZoned with the
name of the commonwealth
About the rostrum, occupying
seats of honor, were the national Of
ficers and pioneer workers of the
equal suffrage movement Some few
familiar faces were missing, but
others there were who have been
active in the suffrage movement since
its inception half a century ago and
who have devoted their lives to its
promotion and extension.
The convention was called to order
by the national president, the Rev
Anna Howard Shaw of Philadelphia
who made a vigorous address in
which she gave brief epitome OF
the events of the last year in so faI
as they related to the suffrage move
ment She could not report much
she said, In the line of actual prog.

1t is easy to dogmatise about
what the car ought to do. especially
as most of the dogmatists contine
themselves to asserting that lie
ought to cut and run from the post
which has been intrusted to his keep

they might not undergo the painful
experiences now at hand?
The city health department has
done nothing about it, and it is doubt
ed If even the dollar a mile genius Of
the great county fumigator could sue
cessfully clear the moisture-laden
premises of the chill and disease ly-

houses.
Those houses should be forthwith
condemned as uninhabitable by the
city health department. The agent of
the property keeps on getting tenants
in dry spells who pay in advance and
when they move out they leave their
warnings on the walls, and he will
keep getting rent from the unfortu-
nate until the city brands the houses
as not fit for human habitation.
