St. Paul, Minn. April, 30, 1913. Dear Miss Blackwell.- Please find twenty five cents in stamps for five copies of the Mississippi Suffrage conference. These are for my own use, others may send for them. I am sure they will be valuable to workers, judging from the excellent report given to us by Mrs. Stockwell. My press work of 500 editors keeps me busy, but I like the work and have an able editor to assist me, my nephew, David Ramaley the Editor and Publisher of the A.O.U.W. Guide. He has been very kind in giving us such reduced rates for printing which greatly aids us financially. The Headquarters are so pleasant and being alone it aids me to do my work. The first slip sent to the 500 I enclose. There will be a larger number of items the next time which I am now preparing for the 15th of May. With these items I always enclose a leaflet of some kind. It is a great thing to control the press and I send them whether they want them or not. I do the best I can and that is all that can be expected. I shall keep up the work during the summer. Sincerely, Eugenia B. Former [*Minn*] Minnesota Woman Suffrage Association Officers PRESIDENT Mrs. P. L. DeVoist Duluth VICE-PRESIDENTS Margaret Koch, M. D. 716 Masonic Temple Minneapolis Mrs. H. A.

Mrs. Potter and I are trying our best to figure out how to get to the Natl. Convention at Washington. She will undoubtedly be there, but it is not certain yet that I will be able to go. Finances are very low in my household this year! I was sorry not to have seen you when you passed through here. I had your note and waited patiently for your call which never came. I think it is too bad you could not have stopped over for a few hours any way. Hoping to see you before many weeks, I am, Cordially yours, Gertrude S. Hunter Corresponding Secy.

Minimum Wage Statute Held Unconstitutional Minnesota Judge Orders Temporary Injunction Against Commission. St. Paul, Minn., Nov. 23. Holding the Minimum Wage law passed by the 1913 Minnesota Legislature to be unconstitutional, Judge Catlin to-day handed down a decision ordering a temporary injunction against State authorities and members of the Minimum Wage Commission, from expending further money. The ruling also suspends the order of the commission fixing a minimum wage for women and minor workers which were to become effective to-day Judge Catlin's order makes the law ineffective until the case has been tried on its merits. His decision will be appealed to the Supreme Court. "The actual working of the law would be apt to increase immorality if morals are dependent upon wages," Judge Catlin asserted in the ruling. The law was held to be unconstitutional because it delegated the executive powers to an appointive commission and placed in that commission a discretion as to whether there should be a minimum wage. The second constitutional ground on which the court based the decision was the abridgment of the right of the individual to contract. The abridgment of contract was held to be in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Federal Constitution of the United States. Feb 3 League of Women Voters The league column of last week ended with a wisecrack,"There seems to be plenty for women to do," and within these few days has come another challenge from none other than Carrie Chapman Catt, the veteran peace and suffrage leader, and founder of the League of Women Voters. "Go home. Sit down in a quiet corner and try to think of an idea that will stab at the heart of war," was Mrs. Catt's advice to the women assembled for the National Conference on the Cause and Cure of War. "I, for one, am tired of talk," she said. "Somewhere, somehow, someone will have an idea that will strike at the heart of the war machine," she continued, "and that someone may well be a woman. Have any of you sat down in a quiet corner and tried to think of an idea that will strike at the heart of the war spirit? I invite you to do it. The prize will be immortality." Mrs. Catt went on to say that she had tried for the last 25 years to answer the question, what is war. "I have read more than 1,000 books on war. I think war is bunk. If we had the backbone, the intelligence, and the spiritual strength," she declared, "we would destroy war with an idea. I invite you to bring in that idea." By way of illustration and inspiration, Mrs. Catt described a matriarchy she encountered some years ago in Sumatra. The women leaders of the East Indian tribe, she found, had abolished war 700 years ago by agreement to settle a quarrel by a fight between two bullocks. "Is the educated woman of today as clever as the uneducated woman of 700 years ago?" she questioned. Speakers on the same program with Mrs. Catt were Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, who urged her listeners to take back to their communities the realization that "war anywhere is a menace to peace everywhere" and Dr. William Allan Neilson, former president of Smith college, who listed as steps in keeping with American tradition, punitive action against Japan for breaking treaties, extension of the Hull trade treaty program, a more genuine policy toward European refugees, and aid to Finland. Members of the League of Woman Voters, who were present and heard Dr. Neilson, rejoiced to hear a man of his understanding speak in favor of the trade agreements, for this is one of the items the league has voted to support. It is convinced that under the reciprocal trade agreements program a scientific method of tariff-making is established; that for the first time in the history of the United States a method of scientifically adjusting tariffs has proved successful; that "log-rolling" has been eliminated and vicious lobbying by special interests, at the expense of the general national interest, has been minimized; and, looking ahead, that in a warring world the program should continue to operate in order to promote peaceful economic relations wherever possible, so when wars abroad end, it may be ready to contribute to the rehabilitation of sane trade relations among nations as a foundation for enduring peace. Recently the House reciprocal trade hearing had before it graphic illustrations of the two methods of tariff making, what is generally known as the scientific method, based on expert study, and the partisan, political debate. The ways and means committee itself put on an exhibition of tariff by congressional debate. They went into a long discussion of the effects of trade treaties on agriculture, finally conceding they did not have the facts in hand. There was discussion about this factory and that, in one congressman's constituency or another's, and the committee had little to stabilize its discussions. Then a U. S. tariff commissioner gave the committee a straight-forward description of how the reciprocal treaties are worked out a - a picture of exhaustive investigation, patient taking of businessmen's testimony, scrupulous weighing and checking by a number of government agencies, all conducted in an open and above-board fashion by competent specialists. The program, he said, "assumes a rational, common-sense attitude; there are adequate checks and balances, a keen desire to be guided by general public interest, and increasing evidence that every action is being watched to safeguard legitimate interests of American producers, agriculture and labor." "Sit down in a quiet corner and try to think of an idea that will stab at the heart of war." [*Minnesota Feb 3, 19--] A PRACTICAL SUFFRAGE PLEA. Address of Minneapolis Tribune to the Minnesota Legislature Just Before Action by That Body on the 28th of January, When the Senate Rejected the Bill.* In the Name of the Women of Minnesota The legislature of Minnesota will vote Tuesday upon this question: "Shall that body indorse and submit to the people an amendment to the constitution of Minnesita providing that women shall vote?" In the cause of better government, in the cause of tardy justice to the women of our own families, The tribune believes that the legislature owes it to the people it represents to indorse the amendment and submit it for their judgement. In Minnesota, as elsewhere, the cause of suffrage equal between the sexes has had to contend against comparatively little reason and a great deal of ridicule. Chiefly for fear of a little laughter, for lack of a little pride, this State has been willing since its admission to the Union to rank its women as to direct participation in Government, with insane persons, with idiots, with criminals. By this amendment it is proposed to give the mothers of the State, the wives, and the daughters the same direct share in the government, the same opportunity to control the environment of the home, which is now given without question to the sorriest bum sleeping of a drunk in a county jail. The conditions will be hard. The amendment will be governed by the votes of men, and men only; the women themselves will have no voice at the polls; the amendment must obtain a majority vote greater than the sum of those men who vote against it and those men whose votes make no declaration upon it whatever. The hope as to the legislature next Tuesday, therefore, and as to the election when the matter shall go before the whole body of present voters, is a hope depending upon the good judgement of Minnesota. The Tribune has little fear that this hope will justify itself if the issue is made fair and clear. The essential thing now is that the issue shall be made fair and clear. Only against the women of our own families have we taken the position that the right to vote is a distinction and a reward. At the beginning of the Republic our grandfathers conferred it indiscriminatingly upon all male freemen--even of that colony from English jails. At the close of the Civil War our fathers conferred it indiscriminatingly upon millions of black men. But to our own wives, our own daughter, our own mothers, we have insisted: Show that you want it; show that you are qualified to use it; show that our interests will not be endangered--and you can have it. By this test half the men in Minnesota must be disfranchised tomorrow. Nevertheless by this test it is perfectly clear the women of the State are fully ready for suffrage. Theirs is the better educated sex--if it is at all significant that there were last year 19,006 girls in our high schools against 14,289 boys. Theirs is the sex more responsive to moral appeal--if it is at all significant that in every jurisdiction where they have obtained the franchise they have devoted themselves mainly to social reform. They are as eager for the vote as the men--if it is at all significant that men have never asked for it in America, that 49 per cent of the qualifies male electors never cast ballots, and that the proportion among women in every State where equal suffrage has been fairly tried has been higher than the general average among men. But in the exclusion of women from the polls there is also an element of gross injustice. This republic is founded upon the theory that every unit participating in the control of the government is capable of self-government. By what reasoning does that shut out the women of our own homes? This people revolted against British taxation without representation. By what reasoning now ublic 209 do we tax women and deny them representation? Our philosophy is government centers upon the home. By what reasoning have a precluded from legislation affecting the home those who keep it true to its highest ideals? This view is not new. It is as old as the American nation. In one form or another it is as old as the ideal of democracy. It has swept round the world. It has the indorsement of every political party in the United States--of every political party in Minnesota. It has corrected injustice and better government in four States and opened the doors to those benefits in five others. It is a movement toward higher ideals of government and fuller democracy. Mennesota must either join in it or see it pass her by. She cannot choose the latter course without writing down her lack of faith in her own women. The choice begins with the vote in her legislature next Tuesday. WHEN EARTH WAS YOUNG. In Four Parts. For the Public. Note for Those Who Read These Tales: Herein it is gently suggested to each reader that because we are the "heirs of all the ages," because everyone one's true thought-companions are widely scattered over every race and period, and because millions of loving toilers are trying to carry the world forward into another and a better Golden Age, we may very often take pleasure in the doings of many fellow-travelers who we have not see, and whose names are not know to history. The two women, and the two men of whom you are now to be told seem to be worth remembrance among the earlier helpers, the "highly honorable ones," in the story of human progress. Part I. The Mother of Those Who Weave Things Together. Sometimes when we think of bygone neighbors who belonged to forgotten peoples, and who lived, toiled, suffered, conquered and went to their sleep, long ages ago, our hearts flame within us, as if we had once know each other. Then we perceive that we are really walking today by the light of torches which these elders lit for us, and their fellowship grows dear and near. Especially in winter, in the shadows behind the fire-light one sees the places where great things came to pass. One of these places was that prehistoric continent of which Plato has told, which Tennyson called "Diviner Atlantis whom the waves have buried deep." Gone are now the languages, the literatures, the peoples of ancient Atlantis, except as they survive among the Iberian Basques, the Hamitic Berbers, and in the few remains of those inter- Touch the remembered strings and bid thee wake. PRESS OPINIONS Blood Crying from the Ground. Cleveland Plain Dealer, February 24. -- The greatly predominating public sentiment in the United States has been that of sympathy for Madero. The people of this nation saw Madero overthrow a despotic regime which seemed permanently established, and they saw him always a humanitarian in his effort to give Mexico a real republic and to rid the country of senseless and almost aimless rebellion. The opinion has grown that Madero was not strong enough for the task which he undertook; but whatever may have been the opinion of his efficiency doubts as to his patriotism and unselfishness have not gained firm root in American sentiment. The killing of the ex-President will not simplify Huerta's task. The revolt against the upstart administration which has already spread throughout Mexico will doubtless be strengthened. To the already complicated situation will be added the new and important element of the Maderistas in revolt against the men who betrayed their leader. 210 The Public Sixteenth Year. esting Guanchos, the happy-hearted, high-minded raced that once lived under the shadows of Teneriffe Peak. Still if we only had more of the wisdom which transcends all which is written, it might well happen that whenever we sailed the Atlantic, above the kingdom that once made war on the rest of the world, we should become aware of the essential unity of human life, and of our own debt to nameless Atlantadean toilers; the ocean which rolls above the place where they once lived might even become luminous with a soft glow, as if all the profounder deeps yet remembered these old time discoverers. There was a woman, in the very first of Atlantis, when families of scattered cave-dwellers began to grow into clans and tribes. New, and still the mightiest of miracles was the Promethean gift of fire, lightning sent, and gathered up in fear and reverence from the burning edge of the forest. New was the bone fishhook which some of the wisest of the men had begun to shape. Still in use were obsidian axes and knives. This woman was young, and good to look upon. She belonged to that fair-haired, long-headed race among whose descendants were to be numbered in some future age, its blonde Libyans of whom Homer sang. She was quick with words, ready with smiles, deft with her busy hands. Still, as of old, she and the other women bore their burdens on their backs in the heavy skins of animals or in curving pieces of bark held in the hands. She often fed her fire with driftwood from the river, casting aside green flood-torn willow branches. One day she noted how the hanging strips of bark had curled, twisted and crossed each other. That quickness of comprehension which had often given her leadership among the women of her group now led her to tear off the long bark strips, lay them on the ground and cross them "above and below" as the accident of fire's heat or sunshine upon the green bark had in one case suggested. She thus seized upon the warp and woof principle; she interlaced the strips in a square pattern, like the weaving of the bottom of a cane chair. Before many days she had woven of the willow bark a mat of some size upon which she laid a rounded stone to keep it safe; as it dried the bark curled up around the rock, and so suggested the thought of a receptacle. Thus she rose from the idea of a mat to the conception of a basket. She tied the ends together and rimmed it about with heavier bark. Proudly then she went forth among her seed-gathering burden-bearing companions with something light, roomy, strong -- a vast improvement over skins, and cylinders of bark. The women gathered about her, and she taught the new art, which some of them began to better, and carry into new fields. One woman pulled slender willow rods and wove them, another found that pine three roots and tough stems of grass could be pulled so closely together as to make a water-tight basket. There came a time when one of the weaving women put a wall of kneaded wet clay inside of osiers and burned it, so that she had a cooking pot of the very first "willow pattern" pottery that was ever seen. Other processes were soon invented and other materials came into use. Someone pounded the tough bark, and then secured fibres which could be twisted together and then used for weaving cloth. In tribe after tribe all the way across Atlantis the textile fabrics of all the ages began to swim into sight. Possible at last were mulberry groves, cotton fields, the shearing of great flocks of sheep, the harvesting of blue-blossomed acres of flax. Coming were the rollicking processions of Guilds of hand-weavers, spinners, dyers, tailors, clothiers. Coming, too, were powerlooms, factories, dry-goods emporiums, whole argosies of sea-going ships, miles of freight trains. As the oak from the acorn, so all these activities came from the woman who first wove strips of bark together. From that came also every development of mat-making, basket-making, and of such greater weaves as the mainsails of ships, the carpets of the orient, the hangings of royal palaces. She ought to seem a real person to all of us, even yet -- this women of Atlantis, who once lived in a valley near the western end of the Atlas Mountains -- that western half which fell into the abysses of ocean. Intellectually she is the mother of all who live in any manner by the weaving arts. That which came to her she gave to others, "without money and without price," and the thing traveled far and fast. Out of her first weave the business of clothing the world has grown; from that came every single thing in art, science, and literature which involves a weaver. No encyclopedia could hold it all. But one wishes that the toilers in our factories, the chemists experimenting with new dyes and mordants, the cheerful shop-girls who handle these lovely weaves, the queenly women who wear them and many, many others, might become more fully aware of the debt we owe to that first of all who weave; that women who made weaving for ages, a home industry, and who so began a continually greater and greater fellowship of workers that people sought out more possibilities of color, and fairer patterns of weaving, and made new sorts of tools for new purposes Transcribed and reviewed by contributors participating in the By The People project at crowd.loc.gov.
