Gain Equal Rights
But Lose When Gambler
Fights Conviction

WOMAN suffrage, mentioned
w in this column yesterday as
a burning issue" during the adj
ministration Of Gov. Newell,
1850 to 1854, had long been a
bone Of contention in Washing
ton territory. In 1869 Wyoming
gave the vote to women and es-
tablished equality of citizenship.
Taking their cue from that, suf-
fragists in Washington terri
tory kept up a continual agita-
ton, aided and apetted by the
national suffrage leaders. An
attempt had been made to pass
an equal suffrage law during
Gov. Ferry's administration but
the bill was defeated by a small
majority.
Pressure from the woman
suffragists put the members
of the 1878 legislature on
hot spot. The movement was
gaining strength. The poll
ticians did not want to Of
fend the women who were
demanding the vote Yet
most of them were opposed
to II as a fundamental prin-
ciple.
knowing that Gov. Ferry was
opposed to equal suffrage, a
committee from the legislature
laid the case before him. They
pointed out that the political
destiaies of certain members of
the legislature were closely tied
in with the suffrage issue. If
they voted against the suffrage
bill they were afraid that life
thereafter would not be worth
living.
To save their own skins,
they proposed that they vote
for the bill with the under
standing that Gov. Ferry
would kill IL with a veto.
But Gov. Ferry refused to
be the goat. He told them
that though he was opposed
TO woman suffrage, If the
legislature passed the bill
he would sign 1t.
That was passing the buck
right back. The legislators wig
gled and twisted for a while but
finally were compelled to bring
the bill up and it was defeated.
Suffragists continued to ham,
mer away and in the session of
1884 the bill passed.
For about three years women
voted and served on juries and
exercised other rights and priv
ileges enjoyed by men. Even the
anti-suffragist, Gov. Ferry who
on retiring from office had re-
turned to the practice of law,
admitted that as jurors women
were just as competent as men.
The territory had accept
ed the verdict of woman
suffrage as a permanent in
stitution when the law was
declared invalid through an
appeal In a gambling case.
A well-known Tacoma
gambler named Harland had
been convicted of cheating
another player out of $500.
On the jury which indicted
him were several women.

SUNDAY, MAY 20, 1899

This should be fairly FORUM
ate day, according to astrology.
The stars stimulate interest in
the finer things of life. Lovers
of nature will benefit.
The clergy is under promising
swayN. hat should cause increase
of power in public affairs.
This is favorable rule for
leaders of every sort. Bankers
and business men should profit
through ambitious enterprises.
As the commercial transac-
lions of each week are finished
and results computed there
should be encouragement in
many quarters. Prosperous sum-
mer months are indicated.
Girls today will find greatest
rewards in avoiding romance
and contributing to the happi-
ness of others. Domestic tasks,
especially those that prepare for
hospitality, are well directed.
The weekend is lucky for
entertaining friends, but not for
Turing possible suitors. Men
young and old will be even more
self-centered than usual.
At the summer solstice Her
schel will be eliminating with
aspects not reassuring to the
people of Poland. There will be
little stability in the nation s
international relations.
Persons whose birthdate it Is
have the augury of a year that
invites steady industry and per-
sistent efforts toward advance
ment. They should not indulge
in extravagances.
Children born on this day
probably will be well endowed
with brains. These subjects of
Gemini may be analytical and
logical. Many succeed in sci
ence or the learned professions
