Arkansas Gette Declares
The Equality of Women
Should Be Recognized

barbaric people of low order Of
civilization, with crude habits and
primitive ideas Of living. In some in
stances by tribes whose prestige de-
pends upon the number of human
scalps hanging from their belts last
winter bill was introduced into the
United States Congress, proposing to
give these people complete freedom
within four years, and to recognize
them as capable of governing them
selves.
Nineteen years of American tu-
telage is all that is necessary to to
make savages a self-governing peo-
pie, and yet one hundred and forty
years has not been enough to equip
the women of America for the same
thing,
Political leaders say America is
the waymark of all people seeking
liberty and yet one-half OF the
American people have never known
liberty. They promise justice to
the oppressed OF every land who are
seeking refuge, and practice inJus-
tice with one-half of those whose
homes have always been here.
80 many inconsistencies are
thrust into our faces day by day
that we are forced to the conclusion
that the character of a political par
ty is not based on its open declara-
tions or outspoken policies but upon
certain mental reservatin, and no
man or woman can tell what they
are.
"It is with amazement that we
read the arraignment OF one party
by the other and note that in no in
stance have they taken each other
to task for injustice to American
women which violates the fundamen-
tai principle of democracy. Equal
rights for all. special privileges to
none.' For, II at times each party
has in some measure failed to stand
for true Americanism. the reason Is
that neither can successfully father
an ideal while untrue to the idea
that gave It birth.

People of South Have Been
Asleep But Are Awakine

the mark Of the master craftsman:
sending our cotton everywhere to be
turned into the finest fabrics, and
that is why we haven't already got
woman suffrage throughout the
South today.
"As long as it was a question of
woman's rights; as long as the fight
had any appearance of being against
man; as long as there seemed to be
a vestige of sex antagonism, the
southern woman stood with her back
turned squarely toward the cause.
She wouldn even turn around to
look at 1t. She would have none of
it at all, But when she awoke slow

eyes and brain were at last free.

a whole; when she found particular.
ly among the more fortunate classes
that her leisure had come to mean
laziness, when she realized that
through the changed conditions of
modern life so much Of her work
had been taken cut of the home,
leaving her to choose between fol-
lowing it into the world or remain
ing idle; when with a clearer vision
she saw that man needed her help
in governmental affairs, particularly
where they touched her own inter-
ests, she said. oh, that is so differ
ent!'
Right about face she turned, and
she said to the southern man: I
don't wish to usurp your place in
government, but It is time I had my
own"
"Not only the southern woman
but the southern man is now awake,
and present conditions strongly in
dicate that before another year has
passed, we will have some form Of
suffrage for the women Of our State.
We are essentially an imaginative,

Atlantic City, Sept. 8.-"Ameri-
canism slogan that is on ev-
eryone's lips today, should not be
interpreted merely as a slogan Of
preparedness for defense, but it
should stand "for the recognition of
the equality of men and women be-
fore the law of man as they are
equal before the law of Cod" de-
clared Mrs. II. T. Gotham, vice prcsi-

the "Dixie session" of the National

Washington. Sept. S.-The first ses.
sion of the Sixty-fourth Congress
which adjourned today was concerned
chiefly with national defense.
When the gavel fell Congress had
directed reorganization and reeuuip.
ment of the Army and Navy for de.
fense of the country at the unprece.
dented cost Of 1855. 100000 with author.
izations that will increase the total
In three years to nearly $500, 900. 900.
With al lother expenditures, appropri.
ations were brought to the grand total
of $685., ,5S3,6S2, the greatest aggrs-
gate in the country's history and eS-
ceeding that for the last fiscal yaer BY
more than half a billion dollars.
Expenditures, necessitated by pre-
paredness and the calling into action
of military forces to meet the Mexican
emergency demanded revenue legisla-
ton in the closing days of the session.
Congress responded by doubling the
normal tax on incomes, creating an In
heritance tax, munitions tax and mis-
cellaneous excise taxes to raise $685..
100000 and by directing sale of $780,.
100000 Panama Canal bonds.
Congress established a Tariff Com.
mission; a Government Shipping
Board to rehabilitate the American
merchant marine; a Workmen's Com.
pensation Commission to administer q
new uniform compensation law; a
Farm Loan banking system; a Child
Labor law; enlarged the system oi
|self-government in the Philippines and
enacted many other important laws
which had been contemplated by the
administration.
The session was disturbed through
out by frequently recurring threats oi
foreign complications from the Euro
pean war and imminence at one time
,of diplomatic break with Germany;
interference with American mails and
commerce, invasion of American soil
|and killing of Americans by Mexican
bandits, and danger Of actual war with
Mexico.
Later in the session trouble arose
in the Senate over the nomination oi
Louis D. Brandies, of Boston, to sue
ceed the late Justice Lamar as a mem
ber of the Supreme Court. Weeks ol
investigation and deliberation by the
Judiciary committee ended in confirm
alton of Mr. Brandies by large ma
jority.
Most important legislative enact
ments of the session, exclusive of laws
