T he following interesting article on
suffrage for women, by Cardinal Gib
bons, has been handed the Daily Times
with the request that it he published:
The message of his eminence Car
dinal Gibbons, to the National Asso
ciation Opposed to Woman Suffrage,
in convention at Washington recent
ly, attracted widespread attention
throughout the national capital. The
message was read to the convention
by Monsignor Wm. T. Russell, pastor
of St. Patrick’s church, Washington,
and recently appointed bishop of Char
leston.
The cardinal said "The paramount
influence which woman exerts ns
queen of the domestic kingdom, where
she reigns not by force but by persua
sion, not by statute law but by the
law of love engraven in her heart,
forces me to believe that her condition
would not he improved if she entered
into the arena of politics.
“Equal rights do not imply that both
sexes should engage promiscuously in
the same pursuits, but that each
should discharge those duties which
are adapted to its physical constitu
tion. The insistence on a right of par
ticipation in active political life is un
doubtedly calculated to rob woman of
all that is amiable and gentle, tender
and attractive; to rob her of her
grace of character and give her no
thing in return but masculine boldness
and effrontery. Its advocates are ha
bitually preaching about woman's
rights and prerogatives, and have not
a word to say about her duties and re
sponsibilities. They withdraw her
from those obligations which properly
belong to her sex and fill her with
ambition to usurp positions for which
neither God nor nature ever intended
her.
“When I deprecate female suffrage
I am pleading for the dignity of wom
an. I am contending for her honor, I
am striving to perpetuate those peer
less prerogatives Inherent in her sex;
those charms and graces which exalt
womankind and make her the orna
ment and coveted companion of man
Woman is queen Indeed, but her em
pire is the domestic kingdom. The
greatest political triumphs she would
achieve in public life fade into insig
nificance company with the serene
glory which rad^^s from the domes
..J^ksho illumines
erty virtues. .it' ambitious of
the dual empire ^J,ubllc and private
life, then like the fabled dog behold
ing his image in the water, she will
lose both; she vill fail from tho lofty
pedestal where nature and Christian
ity have placed her and will fall to
grasp the sceptre of political authority
from the strong band of her male com
petitor.
“I still hold the same views on wo
man suffrage, already so often ex
pressed; that the ballot would drag
woman from her domestic duties into
the arena of p, litirs and rob her of
much of tier (Ik,rm, goodness and true
Inf! nonce.
I regard ' , man's rights' women
and the leader of the new school of
female progre as the worst enemies
of the female sex. I wish 1 could im
press on American women the dan
gers that would attach to such Inno
vations. I wish I could show them
the ultimate result of participating In
public life. It has but one end — the
abandonment, or at least the neglect
of the home.
"The most precious undeveloped as
set of any nation is its children. An
all-wise God, through the law of na
ture has committed this precious trea
sure In a special manner to the moth
er. Any occupation, however allur
ing in its specious pretence, which
draws woman's attention from her
most exalted duties of motherhood will
result in detriment to the nation and
the race. Women cannot vote intelll-1
gently unless they give time to an in-1
telllgent study of political questions,
and all such time taken from the
household will be injurious to the fu
ture generation, by robbing it of its
natural right, a mother's care, without
giving to the present generation any
appreciable benefit in the purifying
of the ballot. As far as 1 have ob
served, it appears that woman suf
frage to the extent that it has been
granted in this country, has not
changed the result of the election.
There has been a larger vote, but the
results have been the same as they
would have been if woman had not
voted. Thus it seems that our politi
cal life has not been benefited or puri
fied by the entrance of woman into
the political arena, though the domes
tic life of those who have engaged in
this political work must have been
neglected, or at least impaired.
"1 hope that your convention will
be marked by wise counsel and delib
eration, and reflect credit on your
sex and the cause you advocate."
