Women Need Legislation
Continued from Page 1
children are supposed ot be closest
to the mother. It is only in law
that the father comes first. It is
not the only instance, however, that
women are paid in song and senti
ment for the deprivation of substan
tial right. Certainly no man can
logically contend that the mother
is not at least equally entitled to
be regarded as equally of kin.
In granting suffrage to women, the
first legislature intentionally refrain
ed from making them eligible to jury
service. This was out of gallantry.
They were to be saved that disagree
able duty. It was to save them from
disagreeable duty that for a long
time suffrage was withheld from
them in many of the states. No
true woman, however, desires to
shirk any disagreeable duties of citi
zenship which she is able to perform,
and the masculine habit of contend
ing that women are not fitted for
jury service has fallen into inoc
uous desusetude. In Colorado, Utah,
Wyoming and Idaho, the women
have served on juries equally with
men, and the proposition that women
are not fitted for that service has
been reduced to an absurdity.
Under the laws of every state, a
father is the natural guardian of
the child of the mother. If, however,
the father dies, the mother is not
even then the child’s guardian. Un
til she persuades some male judge
to give her that appointment, she
is a rank outsider in her own fam
ily. Father and mother should be
^ equally the guardians of their chil
dren.
What The Gleam wants to know
is, are the Senators and Senators
elect, and the representatives elect,
who will constitute the next Alaska
Legislature, possessed of than kind
of manhood which is willing to grant
to women, those rights to which
* no logical mind can deny they are
entitled.
