Women ^nd Children Ask For Peace
BUFFRAQI8T LEADERS ATTEND HAQUE CONFERENCE.
CHILDREN'S PEACE PETITION
Monster Roll, Two Miles Long, Bears Names of 350,000 School Children.
Headed by Jane Addams, the ros¬ ier of the leaders of the International Congress of Women held at thc Hague /Vpril 28-30, in the interests of world peace. Is made up almost wholly ot tbe names of women of world wide reputation for their suffrage beliefs ind activities. War in Ita Relation to Women, Women's Responsibility, Wom¬ en's Sufferings in War, the Passing of 1 Woman Suffrage Resolution, and the Promotion of International Good Feel¬ ing are some of the aspects ot the wax- anestion discussed. Women of all na¬ ilons were Included In the call—not to srms—to peace. English, French, Berman and Dutch were chosen as the official languages Of the Congress of Women.
A petition tor peace two miles long bearing the namea of children from 4t out of the 48 states in thla country waa ipresentad to Secretary Bryan not long ago, far trameandeeion to the rulers of the warring nations, to whom It was directly addressed. This work tor peace was done by suffragists, the aames of the' Executive Committee being Kate Devereux Blake, chairman, Carrie Chapman Catt, Mrs. Thomas iW. Chu(rchill, Mary Ware Dennett, Haryot Holt Dey, Florence Guernsey, and Mary Garrett Hay.
The flrst object of the committee In preparing the petition was to pledge tor peace the children ot today who will be the people of tomorrow. "In signing they were asked to "make a liient pledge to themaelvea to work tor schools instead of for (battleships." It Is hoped that there wlll be a bond of sympathy for the children of Ehirope and Asia In the knowledge that the
ehtldroa of America tkoagbt o( tkam in their enfrerlag aad tiled to lMli> them. And tbere was, and is. tlie ht^^a tbat when tbe paUtlon reaches tlu rulers the voices of the children vmy totoch their hearts and help ,brinc about a cessation of hoetlHtles.
Miss Blake told Mr. Bryan thait the children tiad signed tbe petition enthu- slasticaUy and that it bad been ar¬ ranged for presentation by the chil¬ dren of the New Tork City pubHc schools, elementary, vocational and high. Little Ruth Kebler, in handing ono of the Rolla to Hr. Bryan, said:
"Mr. Seoretary, we, the children of the National Capital, present to you these petitions trom the children ot our United SUtes ta which we ask tor peace in Europe and we pray with more energy to have war kept from this nation."
Mr. Bryan replied:
"I am very glad to receive petitions for peace here from any one. How¬ ever, I think that thaj^ can oome from no better portion ot the population than from the women and children..
"The women at home have to bear the majority of the burdens of war, add they should have something to say In the determination of those condi¬ tions which may or may not cause war. Next to the mothers come the children, who have a right to say wihether war should or should not exist. The chil¬ dren and their mothers should have ''IKpf privilege of rea-soning whether there Ahould be war, because they Buf¬ fer the 'burdens.
"In such privileges I see the ulti¬ mate coming of peace, and not in the influence of petitions. No one knows how far your petition wlll go toward bringing about an end of the present strife. God does not compel us to look ahead, but he does enable us to decide questions as they arise, and it is for you women and children to de¬ cide whether tbe time has not come for tihe settlement of all Intematiomal disputes fby arbitration."
A copy ot the petition Is to be sent to the diplomatic representatives In thds city of the natione ait war, and they are to be informed, and are, in turn expected to inform their governments, of the receipt of the petition and the faot that there le on flle at the Ameri¬ can State Department a petiitlon two miles long bearing the names of 350,- 000 school children of the United States, begging on behalf of the help¬ less chlldron of Europe and Asia, Who are being deprived <A their fathers and their education, and are being irreparably degraded by the hideous conditions created by the war,' that the strife be ended.
CAUSED HARRISON'S DEFEAT.
Term as Mayor of Chicago Seemed
Interminable Until the Women
Arose in Their Wrath.
Mrs. Antoinette Punk, of the Oon- gressional Committee of the National American Association, one ot four women who conducted the successful lobby In the Illinois legislature for woman suffrage, gives an Interesting explanation of the defeat of Mayor Harrlijon of Chicago. According to the Chicago dispatches Mr. Harrison's opponent received nearly two-thirds of the women's votes. Mrs. Funk traces Mayor Harrison's defeat direct¬ ly to his action several years ago in holding up the pay ot the Chicago school teachers. This Is her story:
"Early In the career of Carter Har¬ rison, 2d, as mayor ot Chicago, at a time when there was a working com¬ bination between the republican Cook county taxing body and the democrat¬ ic city government, a day came wheu there was not sufficient mohey to pay the ibiils of the city of Chicago, so they docked the policemen, the flre¬ men, and the school teachers. How Margaret Haley, 'the flghting 8<*ooi- ma'm,' headed the Chicago teachers in an investigation, took the case I* the courts and was flnally rewarded by a mandate trom the Supreme Court of the United States, directing the board of review to assess certain cor¬ porations a million dollars 'back taxes. Is a matter of history.
"Then Mayor Harrison issued a pro¬ clamation to the policemen and flre¬ men congratulating them on the fact that money had unexpectedly oome In¬ to the city treasury of Chicago, and sent them their vouchers tor back pay, but he dM not pay the school teachers. Margaret Haley again started legal proceedings, and finally succeeded in enjoining Mr. Harrison trom using this money for aay purpose whatever un¬ til tha teachers had been paid. That aetion made more "woman suffragists ta the city of Chicago than any other ten things that had ever happened, and trom that hour forward Carter Harrison was marked <by the Chicago OKBgem. tor decent."
HER RIGHT TO HER EARNINGS.
One More Instance of the Difficulties In the Way of One Sex Legis¬ lating for the Other.
New York wives were supposedly se¬ cured In their property rights through the legislation ot 1848, yet hero is ev- erbody rudely jostled in belief by the discovery that a "wife's services and her earnings belong to her hus¬ band." This Is In accord with the ruling of Judge Morschauser, at White Plains, N. Y.
The Judge Is very much surprised that his ruling should have been chal¬ lenged and refuses point blank to take the responsibility. It's the law, he says: "The common law which Amer¬ ica inherited from England Is still the law in New York except In cases where It has been sui)erseded by sta¬ tute. The statute is always construed in its narrowest nu>aning and <^om- mon law overlaps il at all the edges. In order to have a right to what she earns, the wife must 'elect to labor on ber own account,' and it she does not make this eleclion clear to the world, 'her services and her earnings belong to her husband.'"
"In the absence ot such eleclion," said Judge Morschauser, "or of cir¬ cumstances showing that she Intended to avail herself ot the privileges and protection conferred by the statute, the husband's common law rigbt to Iher eam>inigs remains unaffected."
The difficulties in the way of oae sex legislating for the other Judge Morschauser would meet by having women do their own legislating. "I am a suffragist for all time," says the Judge.

"As Well Get on First as Laat."
INIOftes for Suffrage. Alfred Noyes, the famous English poet and pacifist, has said: "I sel¬ dom meet an Engliiibman nowadays who Is opposed to woman sufrrage- I hope It will come for I believe It will be a great safeguard agaiast inter¬ national disasters of war fer whioh women pay so heavily." He added that be believed wossen weald ob¬ tain suffrage in England in the gen¬ eral turnover after tbe war.

COMPLETE EFFICIENCY.
Woman suffrage is, perhaps, the lar¬ gest item in the eum of melhods by which oomplete aoclal efflciency Is te be achieved. It is sought not so much as a right or privilege but as a means of Bettings things doae expeditioualf. The coadeaination of indirect Influence lies in Its being iadireot.
The demand for the extension of the ballot to women ia coincldeat with the growing recognition of government as existing not by force but by eoclal oon¬ sent. The power of consent Is one ot the ohlef means of personal develep- meat. It Is as much needed by 'women as the full feminine value is ne«ded by society.—(Mary Austin.
HER SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY.
A woman (ia my phJleeophy) Is a human Ibeisg first—a wife and mother afterward. No true democracy is pos¬ sible without the addition ef her iwHl. expressed freely through the baUoC and thereby registered in law. Ma¬ ternity is only a functlea of her belni^ marriace an episode la her lifeniyaat, but her citizenship, her social reeyoaf^* bttlty, is a continning daHy duty as it should be in maa. •elf-drreteyxBeat, self-expression, are as essenHal to her aa to her brother.^'HamHn Garland.
