STATEMENT OF PURPOSE.

The body of representative womem from the different States
of the South, who convened in this city on Wednesday and Thurs-
day, declared their object very definitely.

They said:

We, the members of the Conference of Southern Women Suf-
fragists, in session at Memphis, Tenn., December 19-20, state
our purpose: Declaring our adherence to the principles of
political liberty, guaranteed to the American people by the
fundamental principles of our government, we affirm that they
should not be limited by sex.

Believing that public affairs should be guided by the intel-
ligent, we declare for suffrage with an educational qualifica-
tion, and urge the enfranchisement of all women who can read
and write. 7

We ask for the ballot as a solution of the race problem.
There are over six hundred thousand more white women in the
Southern States than all the negro men and women combined. If
the women of the South were enfranchised, it would insure a
permanent and enormous preponderance of the white race in
politics, and would preclude the necessity for any doubtful
expedients to minimize the negro vote.

We ask for the ballot because students of industrial condi—
tions affirm that the lack of direct political power is a factor
in the comparatively low wages of the six million wage-earning

women in our country.

We ask for the ballot as the strongest insurance against

child—labor under conditions destructive to the best development
of the men and women of the future.

We recommend that women petition the legislatures to grant
them Presidential Suffrage, since the United States constitution
empowers each State to appoint presidential electors in such
manner as the legislature thereof may direct. .

We recommend, further, that legislatures be petitioned to
submit to the electors constitutional amendments granting full

suffrage to wemen.

WHEREAS: The most. important opportunity offered to Congress is the,

opportunity to Go justice to one half the people of the United
States;am6

* : This opportunity has taken shape in House Joint Resolution
86 (now before the Gomittee on the Judiciary ) which provides for
submitting to the legislature's an amendment to the constitution

of the United States allowing women to vote; therefore

RESO EVE): That the Ohio Woman Suffrage Association at its 21st
annual convention at Toledo Ohio on Cetoher 5th 1906 urges upon

the members of the Juoiciam Gomoittee of the House the duty of
making a favorable report upon John Resolution 86 and

RESOLVED: That we urge upon all members of congress and Senators
the duty of adopting Joint Resolution 86. and

RESOLVED: That the secretary is hereby iinstructed to forward to
President Roosevelt and to Speahen- Cannon copies of these resale-
tions,as well as to John J. Jenkins chairman of the ﬂomittee on
the Judiciary in the “House of Representatives and to the Ohio
member (Robert M. Kevin) of said Comittee and

RESOLVED: That this corwention request every delegate to use every
opportunity during the coming short session (of congress to induce
other appropriate organizations to send to the Presitientythe
Speaker of the House of Representatives,the Chairman of the
Juoiciary Committee am the Ohio member of that comittee9and to all

SOUTHERN STATES WOMAN SUFFRAGE COKFERENCE.
PRESS BULLETIN.

The Peace Flag;

History repeats itself in sometimes identical localities and
in strangely co—incident formsu In Independence Hall, 159 years
ago, the thirteen colonies formed a new republic under a new flaga
This flag which symbolized the hope of the colonies was made by a
woman, Betsey Ross. Her clever brain suggested its symmetry and
her busy needle affixed its resplendent stars, which f0? all the
succeeding years have shone with undimmed lustre among the nations
of earth. ‘

This month a new coalition was born in the identical chamber
of Independence Hall, when delegates from thirteen Central and
South American republics united in a new declaration of Pan~American
Federation. The flag which expresses their union and peaceful
purpose is also assoCiated with;a woman,~~~MiSS Sarah Wilson, the are:
grand—daughter of Mistress Ross: The Inter~Nation flag is a white
field containing one large blue star of five points; It will be
remembered that in consulting with Betsey Ross about the independence
flag, George Washington suggested a star of six points, whereupon
Mistress Ross with a clip of her shining scissors cut a five~p0inted
star which she explained;was far more symetrical and which the
General promptly adopted.

The Ladies of the Macabees numbering 187,600 members have
endorsed woman suffrage. They have a capital of over nine millions
of dollars which is wholly controlled and administered by them.
When organizations consisting of women of responsibility and aims
such as the Macabees, recognize the value of the ballot for women
it is high time to actord dignified consideration to their views,
and any man who assays to dispute the right and propriety 0f suoh
women expressing their Opinions in the government they help to
maintain, is either an egregious egoist or a presumptious ignaramous.

The raves of piobeer suffragists were decorated on Memorial
Day in Ph ladelphia. Automobiles adorned with yellow banners
drove to the cemetentas containing the tOmbs of these "pioneer

to keep the memory evdr green and flowers profusely strewn in
sweet remembrance of the women who devoted their lives to the welfare

Instruction in city and country Schools concerning the rights
and privileges of women under the law, is being recommended by
the Fayette County Equal Rights Association of Kentucky. This is
a very Pertinent recommendation and might well be included in the
curriculum of the schools of every state. It_would be of practical
information-to students of both sexes. t

In an open l'tter to Rev. Edward L. Sravers. rector of Irinity
Episcopal Church, Mr. Pentecost withdraws from membership in that
church and dc: clares his intention of staying out until women are
given equal ri qhts vmit] men in the Ciocesan council. The letter says;
Allow me to say that 11 women are not fit to vote in church matters.
they are not fit to attend church. I hereby cancel my pledge to

take effect at once, and please remove my name from the rolls, as
never will enter an Episcopal Church until such time as the Protestant
Episcopal Convention thinks women capable of Voting”.

Mr. Pentecost's step was prompted by action of diocesan conven~
tion which denied women the right to vote. hr. Pentecost is a true
exponent of the gospel of humanity which holds all souls equally res~
ponsible, for their is “neither bond nor free,~~~male nor female“
for we are all ONE , and to bind the female and free the male is a
growth of man—made creed and arrogance in direct defiance With the
Oneness of soul~developement, soul~accountability and soul—power.

Be not unequally yoked is a command that applies just as effectively

in national and in sectarian as in domes tic welfare. May churches

of all creeds be purge d of the pharisaism of masculinity,~——the

”holicr than thou“ attitude toward women members, and Join in a fellow~
ship that equally includes the ”sons and daughters that shall pnophesy”
for the betterment of the human family.

Southern Gampaign o a ,t.

Two Southern States are in active campaigns for the ballot
for women. Both these States,~~-Louisiana and Tennessee have
Constitutional Conventions pending, and in framing a modern
democratic charter of liberty, no State can logically ”X01Ude women
from citizenship. As taXMpayers, women contribute to the support
of the government; as workers they are important economic fastors;
as home~builders they pre~eminently make for the stability 0f the
nation; as educators they mold the intellect and character of
humanity; as a moral force they are the standard bearers. By what
reasoning process can they be denied the vote, which is the sychl
of citizenship and by what specious argument should the government
be deprived of their invaluable opinions?

Louisiana and Tennessee men should do well to think seriously
oi the unenviable position and company in which disfranchised
women are placed.

Which State?

A Southern woman has been elected to serve on the city council
of los Angoles, Cal._ She is Mrs. Lindsay and is a native of
Pine Bluff, Arkansas! What a difference geographical position
makes! In California, Mrs. Lindsay is an honored member of the
city government, and the competent possessor of the vote on else»
tion day.~~~ln Arkansas she is rated with criminals, idiots, inelnﬁ
and attar disfranchised undesirabless Which State affords the
better protection to women?
