The Jewish herald. (Houston, Tex.) 1908-1914, 1910-06-30

Women suffrage, as a political
movement, is an absurd idea presum-
ably gotten up by some degenerate
old maids, who, losing the womanly
graces and charms and becoming mas
culine in habits and appearance, want
also to become mans equal in poll
tics, which, by the way, tends to de-
grade not only women but also men.
The great majority of women do not
want woman suffrage. They are
aware of the privilege, responsibility
and sacred duty imposed upon them
by nature, and are content as moth
ers, sisters, wives of men, leaving poll
tics with it's corruption and graft to
man. as stronger sex, who is more
capable to grapple with it. The great
majority of women aspire to nothing
higher than to make good the old

adage: THAT the hand that rocks the
cradle rules the world"

The Jew, unlike his neighbors, the
different tribes and races that have
surrounded him ever since early dawn
in his history, has regarded the wo-
man with due consideration, as a be-
ing not one bit inferior to himself, as
a true helpmate, and even as Il prize
worth winning, as evidenced by the
Patriarch Jacobs willingness to serve
fourteen years in order to get Rachel
for his wife.
The Hebrew word John" woman,
indicates her position next to man,
"Joh," being the same word with only
one syllable added to indicate her
sex.
The Jewish woman knew her worth,
her rights, and was not slow in as
sorting them, as is told of Sarah, wife
of Abraham, who asserted her sar
cred rights as wife and mother and
made her husband cast away his con-
cubine together with her child, al
though 1t was very much against his
liking, 49,, -

Second Year
THE JEWISH WOMAN.
By c. N. Lee, San Antonio, Texas

By c. N. Lee, San Antonio, Texas
We are told that after this world
was created, after light and sunshine
were installed to light and heat the
same, the mighty oceans were framed
and imprisoned by the continent; the
beasts of the field were made and
scattered to roam about at their will
and pleasure; the feathered kingdom
was given the freedom and domain
of the limitless air and space; the fish
and reptiles, insects and mollusks
were placed at their respective places
and assigned to their proper func-
tions: trees and vegetation, flowers
and plants were made to grow, beau
tifv and adorn the mountains and val
legs, the hills and dales; the silvery
streams of the creeks and rivers,
brooks and rivulets were made to flow
through certain places on the contin-
ent to liven up and refreshen the sur
roundings; in short, after this world
was completed in every detail, after
it was found to be perfect and beauti-
full, it was capped with the climax of
creation. man, the most perfect of all
that had Heretofore been made, was
created.
Man, we are told, felt lonely and
lonesome Gas man by himself gener-
ally does), and in order to cheer and
help the poor fellow out, surgical
oueration was performed on his anat-
omy, an operation rather crude and
primitive but which, nevertheless, re-
suited in the most marvellous success
anv operation, surgical or otherwise,
ever resulted a second, revised, i'm
proved, refined edition was created,
and woman, in all her charms, graces
and beauty stood before man as his
helpmate.
This account of the human origin
sounds rather NEUROLOGICAL and legend
ary, but I, for one would rather ac
cept this account than to believe, ac
cording to Darwin, that my great
great-grandfather, thousands of years
ago, was a I'M Orange Oouting, and
my eat-great-grandmothe Chin
panzee lady.
But to return to the subject of ouI
lecture, the woman, according to some
poets, the noblest creature of God:
1t seems like God in creating the
second edition, was benefited by his
former experience, and bestowed upor
the woman, besides her physical beau
ty and charms, also some mental ant
moral traits not possessed by the frs
californian.
Her mentality, while not as vigorous
as that of man, is Of more genteel

cleaner type; her morality of a more
pronounced, deeper cut; she is susCep-
tible of nobler feelings, deeper emo
tons than man.
Physically the weakest, morally she
is the strongest of the two sexes.
While she can not perform any physi-
cal work as we'll as man, she does
mental work as well, if not better.
She is gentle, loving, forebearng,
and can endure more than man, hence
her great value in performing work,
or filling positions in which these
traits are essential, as, for instance,
caring for and nursing the sick, teach
ing schools and other similar work.
The woman has not always filed the
position she now occupies in society,
at home, in the family. There were
times in mans history when she was
regarded as an inferior being, as a
bearer of burdens, as an object for
mans lust, as a means to rear chill
dren, and as a convenience to perform
homework.
Even today there are countries, es-
pecially in the Orient, in Africa, and
among the lower classes of the So
called civilized Russia, where man has
not changed his opinion about woman.
To crafty mans beastly lust, wo-
men are kept confined in harems, and
although surrounded by luxury and
wealth, they are worse than prison
ers This confinement and degrade
ton robs them of their womanly pride,
energy and ambition, and they are
buried alive, as far as the outside
world is concerned If the Bosphor-
us, on which banks are lined the
largest harems in Turkey, and per
haps in the world, could speak, it
would tell of the most narrowing
tales; it would tell of the many MUIR
ders which its waters are concealng,
of the many suicides committed by the
unfortunate occupants of the harems
Among some of the wild and semi
civilized tribes in Africa and Asia, wo
men perform all the hard labor, while
their lords and masters spend their
time idly, or fishing and hunting. In
some parts of Russia, peasant women
even today perform hard work in the
field, such as blowing, grubbing ant
threshing, while in the household she

In most of the civilized countries
however, the woman is honored, be
loved and respected, and enjoys al
the rights than a man does, and IL
addition those that are due her as {
woman.
The Jewish herald. (Houston, Tex.) 1908-1914, 1910-06-30

The matriarchs, Sarah, Rebeccah,
Rachael and Leah have so endeared
themselves in the heart of true Jew
that he regards them as models of per-
lection, and he has no higher concep-
ton of womanhood than to bless his
daughters, whenever occasion requires,
that they might be like one of these
noble women.
The history of the Jew is as rich in
great and noble characters of women,
women who stand as models of purity
of heart, devotion to duty, unselfsh-
ness and love for their race, country
and religion, such as Miriam, Deborah,
Naomi, Ruth, Esther, Judith, Hulda,
Varelia, Yaltha and others.
In the siege and downfall of Je-
rusalem the Jewish woman fought by
the side Of her brethren and courted

death rather than to be carried off in
dishonor and disgrace awaited her.
And later in Rome, Spain and Por-
tugal, with remarkable stolcism and
fortitude she has undergone the rack
and other tortures which the Chris
tion Church and the hellish inquisi-
ton were caapble of inventing, suf

mia and Galicia, where the bulk of the
Jews are at present amidst the dir
est poverty, prosecutions and restric-
tons, the Jewish woman presents a
remarkable fortitude, is the chief
strength and support to her unfortun-
ate husband, father, brothers or sons.
Great calamities, disasters, misfor-
tunes, which are unfortunately quite
frequently the lot of the Jews in those
countries, and which break down the
spirit of man and PROSTATE him
to the dust, seem to call forth all
the energies of the Jewish woman
and give such an elevation of her
character that at times it approaches
to sublimity.
1t was the Jewess, like an angel of
mercy, who aided, consoled and as
sinsted her poor, unfortunate brother
after the terrible pogroms in Russia;
her hands that administered to the
sick, wounded and dying. 1t was her
in most cases, who mended the broken
up home, inspired and stimulated the
man to try and retrieve the lost for
tune as we'll as his courage and am
bition.
