The following excellent article has
been prepared for the East Oregonian
by Judge stephen A. Lowell:
The same law, the same government
and the same opportunity for all con-
stitutes the sentiment upon which
must rest all governments of the
people. Until that high mark is
reached republics are still in danger
of reversion to government which shall
be popular in name and monarchical
in fact.
In this land two important classes
are still beyond the purview of this
ideal of equality presented by the
fathers as the ultimate end of sys-
TEN begun with the declaration of in
dependence The vast corporations,
money combinations, styled the vested
interested, appear to reckon them
selves above it. Women are compell-
ed by existing conditions to be subor-
dinate to it-over them the shadow
of the dark ages seems still to rest.
To the former, the interests, the
most vital political question of the
day. this occasion does not direct at
tention. This movement for the
emancipation of sex, however. may If
resulting in triumph, begin the cor
rect solution of the greater problem.
The demand of women for equality
of franchise appeals to me not on the
grounds Of ethics or gallartry-those
are matters of taste and opinion-but
upon the higher ground of common
justice. Whether the right to vote, If
granted, is ever exercised by them is
not the issue. They are entitled to the
privilege by every right and every
phase of the moral law, and the real
demand is not for some new right
| but for the restoration of one taken
| from them, and to which they are en-
| titled by all the authority of the COM
| mon law, and the early precedents of
the race.
Except by the intervention of the
peculiar prejudices of the canon law,
| the civil equality of women with men
as originally recognized would have
continued. l believe in all the essen
tials of Christianity, in its eternal up
lift upon civilization, in its truth, Its
divinity, but l gravely question the
inspiration of the Apostle Paul. He
has been the source of too many
| creeds and of too much prejudice, to
| impress his labors with unquestioned
approval, either sacred or secular.
| The Master left no utterance which
can be considered as doubling the
equality OF men and women, and the
canon law finds its Interpretation in

Vanilla.

1t is curious to read that vanilla was
employed by the Aztecs Of Mexico as
an ingredient In the manufacture Of
chocolate prior to the discovery Of
America by the Spaniards and that 1t
was brought to Europe as a perfume
with indigo, cochineal and cacao ten
years before the arrival Of tobacco on
our shores. The name vanilla is de-
rived from the Spanish vaina, a pod or
capsule. Dampier described 1t as a
little pod full Of small black seeds and
like the stem of tobacco leaf, so much
so that his men when they found the
dried pods at first threw them away,
wondering why the Spaniards should
lay up tobacco stems" - Chambers
Journal.

ANOTHER STEP TOWARD HUMAN LIBERTY

New York began the limitation in
177S, therefore what American women
now ask they have a right to demand,
simply restoration of the rights
which came to them with the surren-
der at Yorktown-theh heritage of the
same language and the same law
which belonged to the revolutionary
mothers.
Such is history. but eliminating
that it is difficult to explain the
thought of an electorate which can
women the right to vote. Justly
there may be question as to its desir-
ability, but never as to its right. No
man questions her intelligence, her
patriotism or her vital interest in the
affairs of government. Where, then.
can be found the argument to deny
her participation in "a government
representative in character, and pre-
sumably as representative of her in
terests as those of the masculine
members of her household?
Neither true democracy nor perfect
representative government can be at
tanned until all the people participate
therein. That is automatic.
Ambition is Toward Equality.
The ambition of the race is toward
equality of right and opportunity. Its
first manifestation as touching the
English speaking people was at Run.
nymede where resulted the Magma
Charta; its next when was granted the
Bill of Rights. Upon the soil of the
western world it found expression in
the white manhood equality of the pill
grims adopted in the establishment of
the republic. Later the inspired pen
of Americas commoner gave the bal
lot to the black man, and now women
alone in the great government of the
people, among intelligent and quail
fled citizens are barred from partici-
patton in public affairs.
Their acknowledgment Is the next
step toward the fullness of individual
liberty-the equality of right and op-
portunity-toward which the race is
moving. 1t is step forward and
will be taken. When taken it is for
women herself to determine what use
she will make of the privilege. That
1t is hers as a heritage of liberty none
can deny. To her 1t must be returned
Justice requires It; complete liberty
of humanity demands it.-Stephen A.
